Underboss Skulls are a special element in red fall which can unlock bonus items, and are also needed for later sections of the main story.
They can be a bit confusing if you haven’t discovered them where to place Underboss skulls again, and maybe even more confusing if you figure out where to put them, but don’t have any in your inventory yet.
To help you get acquainted with this creepy currency, we’ve explained where to place the skulls and where to find them. Underboss Skull Locations in Redfall below.

For more help, we have pages on how to get rid of red haze and where to find the Basswood Safehouse key.
Where to find Redfall Underboss Skull locations
Underboss Skulls are located in special areas containing tough “Underboss” vampire enemies and many cult members. You must kill each Underboss in order to loot a skull from their ash pile.
So where do you find Underboss? Well, first you have to take a walk around town and search for safe houses, because Underboss locations only appear on your map when you complete each refuge’s side missions.
For the Basswood Neighborhood Shelter, for example, we had to pick up the “Vampire Cult Rally” quest from the mission board inside the house and then complete it before we could unlock the mission containing the vampire’s location. Underboss in Basswood.
You need to unlock safe houses in each district and complete their individual side quests to gain access to more Underboss and their skulls.
Here’s what to do with these skulls when you get them:
Where to Place Underboss Skulls in Redfall
There are two types of areas where you can place Underboss skulls in Redfall:
- Lairs of the Vampire Gods
- Optional altars
The Vampire God Lairs are tied to Redfall’s main story missions, so there’s no need to worry about them until you reach that part of the main questline. However, keep in mind that you must place three Underboss skulls
Optional altars only require an Underboss skull, and are hidden throughout the city. These altars reward cosmetic items like outfits when you place a skull on them.
The item you get may change depending on the character you play as, but we got the “Bespoke Bloke” outfit for Dev when we placed an Underboss skull on the altar under the crash site island of helicopter in Shadetree Heights.
If you ever come across one of these optional altars but don’t have an Underboss Skull yet, we recommend using the “Ping” function on your map to mark the location and then search for a safe house to so you can complete his missions, then come back when you have the skull.
All the best on your journey through Redfall!
