[[Will Anthonio Zeppeli|Zeppeli]] tells [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]] that the only way to beat a vampire—or[[vampire]]—or a [[zombie]], in this case—is to destroy theirthe brain completely. [[Jack the Ripper]], still alive, grabs onto the sword embedded in the tunnel's ceiling. He pulls it down, revealing a secret passage that he then runs into. [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon|Speedwagon]] is put off by the prospect of entering the passage, but Zeppeli insists that they must follow Jack. Zeppeli tosses his full wine glass to Jonathan, and says that only Jonathan will be going after him. Zeppeli then tells Jonathan of an old saying that originated in Norway: “''The Northern Wind Made the Vikings''”

Zeppeli then tells Speedwagon the story of a Caribbean fisherman he had once met. One day while he was out at sea, his boat was attacked by a giant shark that had plagued the waters for some time. His boat was destroyed and his foot caught in the wreckage. In a bold move, he severed his own leg with his fishing spear and used the wound to bait the creature., Theallowing fisherman was ablehim to kill the shark. andAs a result, the fisherman became the hero of his village. Speedwagon asks Zeppeli if Jonathan will be able to finish his challenge., Zeppelithe replieslatter replying that ifshould Jonathan failsfail, he would not be able to defeat [[Dio Brando|Dio]].

Jonathan searches the maze-like passage with a torch. Unfortunately, because of the structure of the passage, some places are too dark to see, torch or not. Nearly too late, JojoJonathan realizes that the torch makes him an easy target, and the zombie ambushes him with a torture device shaped like a giant rib-cage. Jonathan barely manages to escape the trap, but not without receiving several cuts along his arm and nearly spilling the wine. Jack the Ripper vanishes into the darkness. HeJonathan extinguishes the torch in an attempt to avoid giving away his position again. However, hebut quickly realizes that, without the light, he cannot tell where Jack is hiding, either. Though he attempts to conceal his presence, Jack is already aware of Jonathan's position due to the smell of blood coming from his cuts. Unknowingly, Jonathan is walking towards another ambush.

Jonathan is about to round the corner when he notices a ripple in the wine he's holding. Jonathan realizes that this is the reason Zeppeli gave him the glass. The wine acts a Ripple detector that can be used to sense life around him and pinpoint the zombie's location. Jonathan uses the Sendo [[Ripple]] Overdrive technique to attack Jack through the wall. The Ripple connects with Jack the Ripper's head, and killskilling him completely.
