In Zetsubou No Shima, keepers spawn during the Skull of Nan Sapwe ritual. Finally, in Revelations, keepers spawn during rituals, certain Main Quest steps, and naturally throughout the rounds.

Combat Strategy

Keepers do not have a lot of health and don't do a lot of damage. Any weapon will kill a keeper quickly, as these enemies are mainly significant for the storyline.
