What Are Sakura Stand Kaneki and Alucard V2?
Sakura Stand Kaneki and Alucard V2 are two special limited specs released during the 2025 Halloween Update. These characters are based on popular anime series – Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul and Alucard from Hellsing. Both specs offer unique abilities and powerful movesets that make them highly desirable for players who enjoy combat-focused gameplay.
The Halloween update brought a strange mix of quests that involve everything from impressing a girl to becoming a vampire and fighting bosses. Unlike regular specs, these require completing specific questlines rather than just spinning or buying them directly.
Kaneki Quest Guide: Step-by-Step
1. Start at the Café
Your journey to get Kaneki begins at the café area in Sakura Stand. Look for an NPC whose phone has died – he’ll ask you to help find his power bank by opening 20 boxes. Here’s what you need to know:
- Open any 20 boxes around the map
- You won’t actually find the power bank inside
- Completing this task progresses the quest automatically
- This is just the first step in a long journey
Pro Tip: Save time by opening boxes in areas where you normally farm. You can work on other quests while doing this!
2. Defeat Bandits
After you finish opening boxes, return to the NPC. He’ll explain that bandits probably stole his power bank and ask you to defeat them. Here’s what to do:
- Fight and defeat 15 bandits
- Bandits spawn in various locations around the map
- Return to the NPC after defeating them
- He’ll start talking about a girl he likes at the café
This step is straightforward combat practice that prepares you for tougher challenges ahead.
3. Meet Celeste
The NPC will direct you to speak with a girl named Celeste at the café. She’s not easily impressed and will immediately test your worth by asking for four specific items:
- Ollie keychain – Can be purchased at the shop for $3999
- Dubai chocolates – Costs 4 Rokakakas, spawns at Shrine or Park
- Matcha latte – Drops from Matcha Addict mini-event
- Wild headphones – Costs 4000 Tokens, spawns at Docks or camping tents
Important: The Matcha Latte is the hardest to get since it requires a mini-event. Keep an eye out for the Matcha Addict NPC and be ready to complete their challenge quickly.
4. Bring the Items Back
Once you collect all four items, return to Celeste. Unfortunately, she still won’t accept you! Now she wants someone who can protect her and sends you to talk to a “strong guy” nearby. This NPC reveals himself as a vampire and introduces the next phase of your quest.
5. Get Vampireism
This is a crucial step – you must become a vampire to continue the Kaneki quest. Here’s how to get vampireism:
- Find and use a Stone Mask item
- You must be standless (no other spec equipped) when using it
- Once you have vampireism, you need to complete two tasks:
- Take 2000 damage while having vampireism active
- Die to Wonder of U’s Y skill 7 times
Warning: The Wonder of U part can be tricky. You might need to find a friend or cooperate with someone who has Wonder of U to complete this step efficiently.
6. The Exam
When you return to Celeste with vampireism, she decides strength isn’t enough – she wants someone smart! A tutor appears and you’ll face an actual exam with questions about:
- Martial arts
- Sports
- Animals
- Food
- Math problems
You have 40 seconds per question and don’t need to get 100% correct to pass. However, if you fail, you must wait 10 minutes before retaking the test.
Exam Strategy: Take your time and read each question carefully. If you’re unsure, make your best guess rather than letting time run out.
7. Kaneki Skill Preview
After passing the exam, you’ll finally receive the Kaneki spec! Here’s what makes Kaneki special:
- Clean M1 animations that look smooth and professional
- Multiple grab moves for controlling enemies
- Blood tentacle attacks that hit through blocks
- Self-healing skills to keep you in fights longer
- A powerful cutscene finisher for dramatic victories
Kaneki is excellent for farming due to his block-breaking abilities and self-sustain. The animations are detailed and satisfying to use in combat.
Alucard V2 (Dracula) Quest Guide
1. Go to the Dark Alley
To begin your journey toward Alucard V2, head to the dark alley near the café area. Look for Father Anderson, who will start you on this questline. He’s a key NPC for the Alucard V2 progression.
2. Obtain Pandora’s Box
Father Anderson needs Pandora’s Box to continue the ritual. Here’s how to get it:
- You need Blood Stones (the new Halloween currency)
- Farm Blood Stones by selling items to Sion
- Purchase Pandora’s Box from the shop when you have enough
- This may require selling rare items if you’re short on currency
Money-Saving Tip: Check your inventory for unused or duplicate items before grinding. You might have enough valuable items to trade for the needed Blood Stones.
3. Deliver the Box
Once you have Pandora’s Box, return to Father Anderson. After you hand it over, he’ll give you your next challenge: kill Untarnished Women using a female spec. Any female character spec will work for this task.
4. Collect 10 Souls
Father Anderson will mark 10 specific targets for you to defeat. These are special enemies that spawn in certain areas. After defeating all 10, return to Anderson and he’ll reward you with the Holy Nail of Helena.
The Holy Nail of Helena is a powerful artifact that summons the real boss you need to fight for Alucard V2.
5. Fight the Vampire Boss
Use the Holy Nail of Helena at the designated spot to summon a powerful vampire boss. This fight is challenging because:
- The boss has Vault-style moves that make it hard to hit
- The fight is fast and chaotic
- The boss hits hard and requires good timing
- Kaneki works well against this boss if you have both specs
Battle Strategy: Keep moving and watch for telegraphed attacks. The boss has patterns you can learn with practice.
6. Receive the Rusted Sword
After defeating the vampire boss, you’ll receive the Rusted Sword. Take this sword to the special room in the depths area to complete the ritual and unlock Alucard V2 (Dracula).
7. Alucard V2 Skill Preview
Alucard V2 comes with an impressive set of abilities that make him worth the effort:
- Strong rifle attacks for ranged combat
- Powerful melee attacks for close-quarters fighting
- Multiple grab moves for enemy control
- A healing mode that activates after taking damage
- High burst damage potential for quick eliminations
- A dramatic cutscene finisher like Kaneki’s
Alucard V2 excels at farming due to his block-breaking tools and self-healing capabilities. He’s particularly effective in prolonged fights where his healing can shine.
Essential Tips for Success
Farming Efficiency
Both Kaneki and Alucard V2 require significant grinding. Here’s how to make it more efficient:

- Wrong items: Make sure you get exactly the items requested (like Matcha Latte, not regular latte)
- Forgetting vampireism: You can’t complete Kaneki’s quest without becoming a vampire first
- Wasting currency: Save Blood Stones for Pandora’s Box instead of spending them on other things
- Exam anxiety: Take your time on the exam – you don’t need perfect scores

While working on these quests, certain specs can make your life easier:
- For farming: Use area-of-effect specs to defeat multiple enemies quickly

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start the Kaneki quest in Sakura Stand?
To start the Kaneki quest, go to the café area and find the NPC whose phone died. He’ll ask you to open 20 boxes, which begins the questline. After that, you’ll need to defeat bandits and meet Celeste to continue. The quest takes you through several stages including item collection, becoming a vampire, and taking an exam before you finally get the Kaneki spec.
Where can I find Celeste in Sakura Stand?
Celeste is located in the café area where the Kaneki quest begins. After you defeat the bandits for the first NPC, he’ll direct you to speak with her. She’s the one who asks for the four items (Ollie keychain, Dubai chocolates, Matcha latte, and Wild headphones) and later sends you to get vampireism. Make sure you have all the items before returning to her, or she won’t progress the quest.
How do I get vampireism in Sakura Stand?
To get vampireism in Sakura Stand, you need to find and use a Stone Mask while you’re standless (not using any other spec). Once you use the Stone Mask, you’ll gain the vampireism spec. For the Kaneki quest, you’ll then need to take 2000 damage with vampireism active and die to Wonder of U’s Y skill 7 times. This is a required step before you can take the exam and get Kaneki.
What’s on the Kaneki exam and how do I pass?
The Kaneki exam covers multiple subjects including martial arts, sports, animals, food, and math problems. You have 40 seconds to answer each multiple-choice question. The good news is you don’t need to get 100% correct to pass – just answer enough questions correctly. If you fail, you’ll need to wait 10 minutes before you can retake the exam. Take your time and read each question carefully.
How do I get Pandora’s Box for Alucard V2?
Pandora’s Box is purchased from the shop using Blood Stones, which are the new currency introduced in the Halloween update. You can earn Blood Stones by selling items to Sion. If you don’t have enough Blood Stones from regular drops, you may need to sell rare or valuable items from your inventory to afford Pandora’s Box. It’s required for progressing Father Anderson’s questline to get Alucard V2.
Where is Father Anderson located in Sakura Stand?
Father Anderson can be found in the dark alley near the café area. He’s the NPC who starts the Alucard V2 questline and asks for Pandora’s Box. After you deliver the box, he’ll give you tasks to complete including defeating Untarnished Women with a female spec and collecting 10 souls. Following his questline will eventually lead you to Alucard V2 (Dracula).
Can I get both Kaneki and Alucard V2 at the same time?
Yes, you can work on both questlines simultaneously, but it’s often easier to focus on one at a time. The Kaneki quest requires becoming a vampire and taking an exam, while Alucard V2 requires getting the base Alucard spec first and then completing Father Anderson’s questline. Both specs are limited to the Halloween event, so make sure to start working on them as soon as possible.
