By taking the talisman off of the Nurikabe's back, you will need to find a different way into the area that the Nurikabe is blocking. Once you take off the Talisman, the Nurikabe will disappear. Though this method may be the easiest way to get rid of the Nurikabe, it may be difficult to find your way around it, though not impossible.
To appease the Nurikabe, you will need to perform a gesture from one of the three groups of gestures. Blue for friendly gestures, yellow for neutral gestures, and red for hostile gestures. You will only have 2 chances to perform the appropriate gesture, otherwise the Nurikabe will begin to act hostile towards you. A method of figuring out the correct gesture for the Nurikabe, is by checking nearby red graves and taking note of how they die. The following are the solutions to the death descriptions from nearby player graves:
"Crushed to death by Nurikabe for their friendly behavior"
- Perform gestures from either the neutral group or the hostile group
"Crushed to death by Nurikabe for their neutral behavior"
- Perform gestures from either the friendly group of the hostile group
"Crushed to death by Nurikabe for their hostile behavior"
- Perform gestures from either the friendly group or the neutral group
