If you want to do everything there is to do in Return 4 Blood, you'll need to find all 10 hidden golden skulls. There are only 10 in the game, and they are cleverly hidden throughout the campaign. Finding them is quite difficult when hordes of undead monsters swarm you almost every moment you're outside of a safe house. Zombies seem nearly limitless, so if you're looking for clues to unlock all 10 secret achievements/hidden trophies related to Golden Skulls, we've got a full list of locations below.
Return 4 Blood is the spiritual trio of the beloved Left For Dead series — as developed by Turtle Rock Studios, the developers who helped make the original series a success. Return 4 Blood modernizes the four-player co-op shooter, while retaining those elements we all loved. Undead are predictably fast and Special Infected unleash abilities to disrupt your team dynamics. You will oppose an unlimited horde of undead and you will have little time to waste searching for lost artifacts. If you're a success-seeking enthusiast like us, this is where you need to look.
