Side Quest · Zetsubou No Shima

Skull of Nan Sapwe

The Skull of Nan Sapwe is Zetsubou’s specialist weapon and the key that unlocks half the map’s secrets. Its vaporize beam deletes hordes; its mesmerize calms everything in view and reveals hidden objects the main quest and the Masamune upgrade both depend on.

Walkthrough

Step by step

  1. 01

    Match each bloody skull to its pedestal

    Carry the four skulls from the Trials altar, one at a time, to the cleansing pedestal bearing the same symbol — by spawn’s central rock, at the propeller trap, in the bunker by the power switch, and downstairs by the KT-4 tables.

    The symbol-to-pedestal pairing reshuffles every game.

  2. 02

    Hold the cleansing defences

    Green-glowing zombies attack the pedestal while spiders and Thrashers come for you; keep the pedestal alive until the wave ends and carry the cleansed skull back.

    Tip: Nothing spawned here pays points or advances the round — starting a cleansing on a saved zombie keeps the map quiet.

  3. 03

    Open the altar stair

    With all four skulls cleansed and returned, take the new staircase that opens where the fallen tree stood.

  4. 04

    Charge the Skull against the Keepers

    Lifting the Skull locks the chamber and summons Keepers — around twenty solo. Kill them to charge it, and the room opens with the weapon yours.
