How to Spawn Shukaku?
Shukaku doesn’t appear randomly in the world—you need to know the specific methods to summon this formidable boss. Based on my extensive research and battle experience, there are two primary ways to spawn Shukaku:
Method 1: Natural Spawn
The One-Tailed Beast has a chance to spawn naturally in its designated area, Shukaku’s Embrace. This method requires patience and timing:
- Location: Head to the Desert Biome and locate Shukaku’s Embrace
- Timing: The boss has a chance to spawn every 45 minutes
- Server Notification: When Shukaku spawns naturally, all players on the server receive a notification and screen shake effect
- Strategy: Camp the area and coordinate with other players to be ready when the spawn occurs
Method 2: Beast Tamer NPC (Recommended)
For a more reliable approach, use the Beast Tamer NPC method:
- NPC Location: Typically found near Shukaku’s Embrace or in central hub areas
- Cost Options:
- Robux (premium currency)
- Artifact exchange (rare items)
- Process: Interact with the NPC and select the option to awaken Shukaku
- Advantage: Guaranteed spawn when you meet the requirements
Method 3: Summoning Ritual (Alternative)
Some servers feature a traditional summoning ritual method:
- Requirements:
- 10,000 Ryo offering
- Wind Scroll (obtained from Wind Village missions)
- Minimum 3 players
- Location: Sand Village summoning altar
- Process: All players stand on the altar, team leader interacts with the altar and selects “Summon Shukaku”

How to Get the Tailed Beast Cloak?
Defeating Shukaku is only half the battle. Obtaining the Tailed Beast Cloak requires precise coordination between specific clan members and understanding the aging mechanic.
Prerequisites for Tailed Beast Cloak
Before attempting the sealing process, you need:
- Senju Clan Member: Must have the Wood Seal ability
- Uzumaki Clan Member: Must have the Binding Seal ability
- Target Player: The player who will receive the cloak
- Shukaku Soul: Dropped after defeating the boss
Step-by-Step Sealing Process
Follow these exact steps to successfully obtain the Tailed Beast Cloak:
Step 1: Defeat Shukaku and Drop the Soul
- After defeating Shukaku, the Senju player must use Wood Seal on the boss’s body
- This will drop the Shukaku Soul item
- All players who participated in the defeat are eligible for rewards
Step 2: Consume the Shukaku Soul
- The player who wants the cloak must consume the Shukaku Soul
- This triggers a KO animation and begins health draining
- The player will enter a subconscious state
Step 3: Apply the Binding Seal
- The Uzumaki player must immediately use Binding Seal on the player consuming the soul
- Timing is critical—delay can cause failure
- The seal must be applied before the player’s health depletes completely
Step 4: Successful Transformation
- If successful, the player will awaken with a distinctive red aura
- The Shukaku Tailed Beast Cloak is now obtained
- The player gains new abilities and visual effects
The Crucial Role of Character Age
Character age significantly affects the success and duration of the sealing process:
| Age Range | Time Required | Success Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Ages 15-20 | ~30 minutes | Moderate |
| Ages 21-40 | ~45 minutes | High |
| Ages 41+ | ~60 minutes | Very High |
Critical Pro Tip: During the aging process, do not sit at Chakra points for extended periods. This halts the aging process and can cause the sealing to fail. Stay active and move around to ensure proper aging progression.
Advanced Strategies and 2026 Pro Tips
Based on countless battles and extensive research, here are the advanced strategies that separate successful groups from failed attempts:
Team Coordination Tips
- Communication is Key: Use voice chat or in-game chat to coordinate abilities and call out mechanics

Individual Role Optimization
For Tanks:

- Use taunt abilities consistently to maintain aggro
For Damage Dealers:
- Focus on consistent DPS rather than burst in early phases

For Healers:

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I get the Shukaku Cloak solo?
A: No, the process requires coordinated effort between at least two players from the Senju and Uzumaki clans to use their respective sealing jutsus. It’s impossible to complete solo.
Q: What’s the best way to avoid Shukaku’s Tailed Beast Bomb?
A: Maintain a safe distance during Berserk Mode and be prepared to dodge radially as soon as you see the attack animation start. Staying at close range makes it very difficult to avoid.
Q: Where is the Beast Tamer NPC located?
A: The Beast Tamer NPC is typically found near the Shukaku’s Embrace area or in a central hub like the main village. Look for them on your mini-map or explore the vicinity of the boss spawn point.
Q: Why did my attempt to get the cloak fail?
A: Failure can happen for two main reasons. First, if the Uzumaki player’s Binding Seal is not applied quickly enough after the soul is consumed. Second, if the player trying to get the cloak remains inactive at a Chakra point, which stops the aging process crucial for success.
Q: How often does Shukaku spawn naturally?
A: Shukaku has a chance to spawn naturally every 45 minutes in its designated area. However, this is not guaranteed, which is why many players prefer the Beast Tamer NPC method.
Q: What level should I be before attempting Shukaku?
A: While technically possible at lower levels, I recommend being at least level 300 before attempting Shukaku. Higher levels give you better stats, abilities, and survivability for this challenging encounter.
Q: Can I attempt Shukaku multiple times in one day?
A: Yes, you can attempt Shukaku multiple times, but you’ll need to wait for the 45-minute respawn timer between attempts. There’s no daily limit on attempts.
