The Crystal Skull

**"The Crystal Skull"** is the fifth episode of *Spriggan*. It premiered on June 18, 2022 on Netflix.

## Synopsis

*Tragedy strikes when Professor Kawahara tries to protect an ancient artifact more potent than a nuclear bomb. In response, a vengeful Yu heads to Egypt.*

## Plot

Professor Kawahara, an important member of ARCAM, is killed by Hans Schneider, a neo-Nazi, in an attempt to take the briefcase he had with him.

Later, Yamamoto explains to Yu that Profesor Kawahara's body was cut into five pieces, and that by the looks of it, his limbs were torn off him while he was still alive.

In Egypt, Suzuko is on her to placr a fresh bouquet of flower on her father's memorial site. She sees Yu, and asks if he knew her father. She is about to shake his hand, until he explains he is from ARCAM. Later, she explains how her father used to be an upstanding archaeologist devoted to his family. But then, after he got himself involved with ARCAM, he started changing. He became obsessed with it, searching for occult artifacts that she deems fictional. Suzuko then mentions how her mother died from worry and heartache, but he still didn't come home.

Meanwhile, Captain Kutheimer explains the mission to Mirage that his target is Yu, who is a spriggan.

Elsewhere in Egypt, Yu explains to Suzuko that the particular Crystal Skull her father was killed over isn't made of crystal, and actually contains incredible power. Yu explains that object such as this should be impossible to make given the technology that was available at the time.

In the end, Yu works together with his mentor Oboro, who has infiltrated the neo-Nazis under the name Mirage, and Kawahara’s grieving daughter Suzuko Kawahara to take the neo-Nazis down and get back a special Crystal Skull, which has the powers to initiate nuclear explosions.

Bo Brantz tries to fight Yu, but is stopped by Oboro, who engages in a fight with Brantz. Later, Yu and Suzuko go in search of the skull, and by Kutheimer's orders, theys hoot at Yu; not caring about any innocent bystanders.

As for Bo and Oboro, the latter wins without breaking a sweat, but doesn't kill him. Bo asks why, and Oboro explains that it's because he shows promise. Thus, Bo should go and retrain himself, and if still wishes to die, then Oboro will gladly kill him.

Later, Kutheimer gets reckless and tries to activate the skull, but is killed by Oboro out in the desert near Alexandria.

Back in Japan, Suzuko has quit her old job and is now following in her father's footsteps. She asked ARCAM about joining them, and Yamamoto actually told her that there was no reason for her to quit teaching. After that conversation, she was referred to the school where Yu attends.

SENNIN-KAI

*Sennin-Kai* is the sixteenth and last mission of Spriggan: Lunar Verse. Oboro, a man who was once mentioned to be the strongest Spriggan in the world is waiting for a strong adversary to challenge him in the isolated world. Either Tatsuki Otsuki, Yu Ominae, or the Skeleton can fight him there.

## Walkthrough

This mission only contains one objective: defeat Oboro in an one-on-one duel. Unfortunately, as previously implied, he is not an opponent to underestimate against. His method of attacking involves teleporting near to where Yu, Tatsuki, or the Skeleton is currently located at, and quickly strikes them to the direction where they are not looking at him. His attacks also dealt alot of damage, so dodging is key to preserve health. Weapons and knives cannot be used in this mission, tho Tatsuki is able to wear various A.M. suits that he unlocked prior. Psycho attacks can also be used against Oboro. It is recommended to stack up on Rations as it can be tricky to constantly dodge his sudden attacks. If Tatsuki is selected for this mission, equipping a level 3 A.M. power suit can be largely beneficial for delivering the strongest blows to Oboro, as the defence suit would restrict his movement to become slower which is not ideal when attempting to dodge Oboro's attacks, and the speed suit having the con of sacrificing strength power in favor of fast movements.

After the brief intro cutscene where it showcases the area and Oboro ends, immediately move out of the way by heading forward as he will suddenly appears behind you, and stikes you on your back. Afterwards, it it just a matter of observing his teleportation manuevers, and using a window of opportunity to strike back at him after briefly dodging his attacks. If you were to be knocked down by this attacks, you can attack him with a strong attack (Triangle) right away once he teleports again to you since you have invincibility frames for the short time. Never stop moving, not even briefly, as otherwise this would leaves you vulnerable to his attacks. Be careful of also jumping off from the platform as that would lead to instantaneous death. Defeat Oboro to succesfully end the mission.

## Trivia

* This is one of the two missions to not have the briefing and debriefing screens, with the other being Gain Control of the ARCAM Lab.

* Oboro attack techniques of fighting his opponent in this mission is similar to how he fought against Yu Ominae in the Philosopher's Stone chapter from the original manga story.

* If the player were to lose against Oboro, a brief cutscene would play where he briefly shows off his attack manuevers before he eventually kicks the camera, causing the screen to go black and then the continue screen appears shortly after.

* Sucessfully completing this mission will reward the player with all unlockable A.M. suits being avaliable to be equipped that they have yet to obtain.

Escape From a Lab

*Escape From a Lab* is the first campaign mission of Spriggan: Lunar Verse. Taking place in the warehouse, this is Tatsuki Otsuki's first mission as a candidate for Spriggan. After being compromised by the guards, Tatsuki must escape from the laboratory unscathed.

## Mission Overview

Hiding behind a large metal container, Tatsuki received a communication call from his boss, Graham Bruton, reminding him about that if he were to become a Spriggan, failure is not an option. A brief flashback is then shown of Tatsuki being chased by the warehouse guards. Graham continues on with the fact that if Tatsuki were to be discovered, he should engage only if necessary and attempt to escape. Before breaking contact, Graham reminds him to remain discrete throughout the rest of the mission.

Afterwards, Tatsuki was immediately greeted upon by a fast-moving fighter and Fred, a giant who wields the Gatling gun with his right hand. Fred then fires on the wooden crates for the purpose of flushing out on where Tatsuki is hiding. He then receives a call from Graham, who is shocked to find out that Tatsuki's cover has been blown. He informs him that he must escape safely as soon as possible.

After dealing with Fred and the fighter, Tatsuki heads towards the automatic door to the next room that contains a large ventilation fan, several guards, and a small room that has the warehouse's main power panel. To unlock the door that leads to the next area, he breaks the power panel with the warehouse's announcement, shortly afterwards, that abnormality has been detected within the power generation system, in which an emergency power supply has been activated in response. Tatsuki then runs to the next room, battling against his opponents and traversing on the large metal containers in order to arrive on the platform that is too high to reach initially. After dodging through the lasers from the gun turrets and defeating a guard, he came across another area and notices a door lock scanner that requires a key card to open it. One of the guards, who is dressed in a different camo pattern from the rest, contains the key card. Tatsuki then prevailed against that particular guard and several other guards in the room. After obtaining the key card, he utilized it on the scanner and quickly dashed to the warehouse's exit.

## Debriefing

Graham berates Tatsuki for acting impulsively and not following the covert mission's parameters. He reminds him that Spriggans must be able to undertake covert missions in a proper manner. He reminds him that he is being tested now, and warns him that he won't be able to become a Spriggan if he were to repeat the same actions again in the future.

Jim Silver

The Armstrong Pirates

Jim is a level 5 Champion Fighter. He is the first member to join the Armstrong Pirates, when Nessie broke him out of Daisy Tower on Gosail Island. He is Nessie's First Mate and Chef, and he's also very strong.

## Backstory

Jim Hawkins was born in Benbow, as the son of an inkeeper, and was raised by his mother. His father was not in his life.

One day, the pirate Billy Bones washed up on shore, and Jim found him. He was holding a treasure map in his hand. Bones warned Jim about his captain, Long John Silver, who had fatally injured him, and gave him the map before drawing his last breath. A few days later, the Benbow Inn was attacked and ransacked by pirates. Knowing that they were searching for the treasure map, Jim hid the map on his person and fled with his mother.

To make cash to rebuild the inn, Jim sold himself and his map to The Wind Company. He was given a large stake in a voyage that would follow his treasure map to a place called Raftel. Aboard the ship Jim met and befriended the ship's cook, John Silver. Jim ignored Bones' warning and pursued this relationship anyway. Silver became a father figure for Jim and eventually convinced Jim to join in a mutiny to hijack the voyage and take the treasure for themselves.

After this, though Jim regretted his actions, him and Silver sailed the world searching for Raftel. Eventually Silver and his crew, after months of failure, decided to return to Corneria for a short break and to gather new crewmates. This was just a ploy, stopping on the Island of Gosail, Silver told Jim that he needed him to do some shopping, gave him a large amount of gold, and set him loose on the island. After a short while, Jim noticed that Silver's ship was sailing away, abandoning him on the island. Silver had always talked of the dangers of the voyage and was trying to protect Jim from it.

Jim didn't see it that way. He suspected that Silver would leave him, so he stole the map to Raftel. He figured that Silver would have to return for it at some point in the future, but he never did. However, eventually, he was getting desperate and running low on coin. Just before session 1 of Armstrong Grand Tour Jim attempted to raid the Daisy Tower Marine Outpost in order to protect the town of Gosail from the evil Wolf-Maw.

Then, during session 1 of Armstrong Grand Tour, the person who would come to be his new captain arrived on Gosail. He was rescued from the yard by Nessie Armstrong, and together they stormed Daisy Tower and helped Dawn Edwards arrest Wolf-Maw. They recovered his treasure map from the evidence room and they began their journey as The Armstrong Pirates.
