How to get underboss skulls in Redfall
First off, you should know how to get underboss skulls in Redfall. As mentioned earlier, you can get underboss skulls when you've defeated Vampire Underbosses. These underbosses are pretty much mini bosses that are much stronger than their regular vampire counterparts, which you'll commonly encounter in Redfall.

There will be a safehouse that you must go to in every neighborhood you'll stumble upon in the game. After locating a safe house, you'll then activate it by interacting with a generator.
When you get inside a safe house, you should be able to interact with the Mission Board inside and accept the available safe house mission. Once you complete that mission, you'll be able to access the Vampire Underboss mission, which allows you to fight against a Vampire Underboss and claim its skull.
Make sure you're well-equipped and ready to fight before heading to the Vampire Underboss in the neighbourhood though.
How to place underboss skulls in Redfall
Once you have your underboss skulls, you can then place them in Vampire God lairs and optional altars. Vampire God lairs are mainly linked to the game's main story missions. While you won't have to worry much yet about placing underboss skulls right off the bat in-game, be sure you have three underboss skulls prepared to place at God lair entrances when the time comes.
On the other hand, optional altars require you only one underboss skull to be placed and these are usually hidden in each town. The rewards you get from optional altars from underboss skulls include cosmetic items such as outfits. Do take note that each item you get depends on the character you're using.
Take note that if you come across an optional altar but don't have an underboss skull yet, you can use the "ping" feature to mark that location and return to it later on.
