Laurence's Skull ❘ ローレンスの頭蓋	Key Item

In-Game Description Skull of Laurence, first vicar of the Healing Church. In reality he became the first cleric beast, and his human skull only exists within the Nightmare. The skull is a symbol of Laurence's past, and what he failed to protect. He is destined to seek his skull, but even if he found it, it could never restore his memories.

Now that you have Laurence's Skull, you can access one of the toughest challenges the new areas have to offer. Take the skull back to the Nightmare Grand Cathedral in the Hunter's Nightmare, where you first picked up the Eye Pendant. When you approach the smoldering body at the back of the room you'll trigger a cutscene. As soon as that cutscene is over you'll have to face Laurence, the First Vicar. Upon killing him you'll automatically get the Beast's Embrace Rune, and a new Nightmare Grand Cathedral lamp will appear in the room. There is a hidden area you can access beneath the surgery altar step onto the altar to trigger the elevator, and then step off quickly before it gets too high, which will reveal a hidden altar. Stepping onto this second altar does not trigger the elevator, so approach it and pick up Laurence's Skull. After picking up that item, pull the lever to operate the elevator, and then quickly run onto the hidden alter to be lowered down to a secret area with a chest containing the Church Cannon. Step onto the hidden altar to return to the Recovery Room, and then pull the lever there to lower the elevator again so you can access the normal altar and return to the Research Hall. Availability Treasure in (Old Hunters DLC): Hunter's Nightmare the surgery altar in the Recovery Room. Laurence's Skull is located on a hidden altar beneath the surgery altar in the Recovery Room; the same altar that acts as an elevator leading to the Research Hall. If you need further assistance to find the item, you can follow the full Hunter's Nightmare Map. To be able to grab it, you need to send this elevator up.
