Step 1
Sentinel Artifact & Pack-A-Punch
Activate the Sentinel Artifact and unlock Pack-A-Punch.
Activate the 4 Pack-A-Punch Pedestals around the map:
- Cargo Hold
- Lower Grand Staircase
- Poop Deck
- Turbine Room
Step 2
Clocks & Symbols
There are 6 clocks around the map. After Pack-A-Punch is unlocked, 4 of them will change time and have a nearby symbol corresponding to that clock. Find these 4 changed clocks and note down each symbol along with its hour and minute hand positions.
Clock & Symbol Locations
- Mail Room — Clock: to the right of the door leading into Cargo Hold. Symbol: under the stairs leading to the VAPR-XKG wallbuy.
- Bridge — Clock: on the wall behind the wheel. Symbol: on the desk behind the wheel.
- Upper Grand Staircase — Clock: top of the staircase, in the wooden carving. Symbol: above a door to the left of the Spitfire wallbuy.
- 1st Class Lounge — Clock: above the fireplace near the Bowie Knife wallbuy. Symbol: on the wall to the left of the Mystery Box.
- Galley — Clock: to the right of a barricade. Symbol: on the right side of the wooden cabinet, facing the wall.
- 3rd Class Berths — Clock: on a wall next to the broken wooden wall coming down the wooden stairs. Symbol: at the bottom of the wooden stairs, behind some luggage.
Step 3
The Dials
At the Bridge, there are 4 Dials marked with the same symbols you found. Turn each Dial to match the minute hand associated with that symbol's clock.
There are 2 more Dials on the top railing of the Poop Deck (where the Sentinel Artifact was), and 2 more Dials in the lower Engine Room. These 4 Dials aren't marked with a symbol — use a cheat sheet to determine which symbol corresponds to which Dial.
Enter the hour hand associated with these 4 symbols into those Dials.
Step 4
Catalyst Outlets
There are 6 outlets around the map. Now, 4 of them will each be "sparking" one of the Catalyst elements.
Kill the corresponding Catalyst zombie next to each sparking outlet. The next 4 rounds are guaranteed to have at least one of each Catalyst per round.
When done correctly, a symbol appears on the floor next to each outlet.
Possible Outlet Locations
- State Rooms
- Upper Grand Staircase
- 1st Class Lounge
- Dining Hall
- Aft Decks
- 3rd Class Berths
Step 5
The 4 Lockdowns
Complete 4 lockdowns by having all players stand on the symbols and hold interact. These must be done in order: Poison → Water → Electric → Fire.
Each lockdown has its corresponding Catalyst zombies and a locked-in area. After each lockdown, pick up the Sentinel Artifact.
Lockdown Locations
- Poison — Poop Deck
- Water — Cargo Hold
- Electric — Boat Deck
- Fire — Boiler Room
Note
You'll need to get and upgrade the Kraken to the Poison variant for the next step — see below.
Build
Free Kraken
Kill a Stoker with the final blow coming from its critical points — it drops a key, pick it up.
There's a chest on the map. Open it, then get kills near it until it moves. Repeat this 2 more times (3 total).
Once the third time fills the chest, it opens to reveal an item. This item indicates an area where a tentacle will drop you the free Kraken.
Chest Locations
Mail Rooms, State Rooms, Galley, Provisions, Turbine Room.
Item → Kraken Drop Location
- Compass — Boat Deck
- Binoculars — Forecastle
- Globe — Mid Deck
- Pliers — Aft Decks
- Telescope — Poop Deck
Upgrade
Elemental Kraken Upgrades
Collect the parts for the Distillation Kit:
- Thumper — Cargo (x2 possible locations)
- Still Boiler — 1st Class Lounge (x2 possible locations)
- Lyne Arm — Galley (x2 possible locations)
Build the Distillation Kit at the crafting table in the Engine Room.
Using the Kraken, kill Catalyst Zombies to get them to drop the corresponding part for each Kraken upgrade. Once you have a part, pay to upgrade your Kraken at the Distillation Kit:
- Electric — Concentrated Radiance
- Fire — Concentrated Plasma
- Poison — Concentrated Decay
- Water — Concentrated Purity
Note
You need the Poison Kraken variant for Step 6.
Step 6-7
Turbine Pipes & Pack-A-Punching the Artifact
There are 9 pipes around the Pack-A-Punch in the Turbine Room. Shoot all of them with the Poison Kraken.
Pack-A-Punch the Sentinel Artifact in the Engine Room.
Note
If the Pack-A-Punch isn't currently in the Engine Room, it will move there next round.
Step 8
The 9 Planets
Interact with 9 symbols around the map to spawn planets in the sky:
- Sun — Forecastle
- Mercury — Mail Rooms
- Saturn — Bridge
- Uranus — State Rooms
- Venus — Millionaire Suite
- Neptune — Aft Decks
- Moon — Boiler Room
- Jupiter — Engine Room
- Mars — Boiler Room
Step 9-10
Solar System Order & the Sun
Interact with the Solar System model in the Cargo Hold. It flashes through all the planets in a random order — note this order down.
Shoot down the planets in the sky and quickly pick them up in that order. They land near where their symbol is.
When you pick up the Sun, a timed step begins: break ice blocks and reach the Poop Deck. The step ends when you break the ice block at the back of the Poop Deck.
Tips
Neptune flies around the ship while the rest are in the sky, and the Sun is always last in the order. Use a cheat sheet to determine which planet is which if confused. It's recommended to skip the last few ice blocks and break the one on the Poop Deck from the Aft Decks instead. The Helion Salvo, Kraken, and Scepter of Ra are best for breaking ice blocks.
Step 11-12
Boss Fight Setup
Everyone stands on the symbol at the back of the Poop Deck where the ice block was, and interacts at the same time.
Everyone swims to the tree and holds interact on the Sentinel Artifact.
Final Steps
Boss Fight
The boss fight has 5 phases.
Recommended Loadout
At least one Helion Salvo, along with Homunculus and the Kraken. Dying Wish and Victorious Tortoise are also very helpful.
General Note
The Max Ammo and Carpenter last forever during this fight — wait to use them until you actually need them.

Just survive the zombies — you cannot damage the boss during this phase.

You can damage the boss when it's firing its beam — be careful not to get killed by it.
The phase ends once you've dealt enough damage to the boss.
Location: Poop Deck.
Watch out for when the boss makes a loud noise and begins to shake — this signals a team wipe, and you'll have about 10 seconds to deal enough damage to stop it.
You can survive the wipe with Dying Wish, Victorious Tortoise (holding out your shield), or by placing a tier 3 Scepter of Ra — though this can be buggy.
