Search the Bodies

As you go about exploring all the levels in Death Relives, you’ll find a ton of mutilated bodies. These bodies are horrifying to look at and appropriately set the tone for whatever location you’re in. But they’re far more than just an aesthetic. Most of the bodies contain ammo, notes, seeds, and other items. If you want to be sufficiently stocked up and prepared, make sure to search all of them. 

Keep Track of the Objective

Death Relives’ story moves you from objective to objective, giving you goals to accomplish that push the story forward. It is, however, incredibly easy to lose track of the objective while hiding from Xipe Totec. In such cases, pressing the Tab button will reveal the objective in the top left corner of your screen, guiding you towards the next point of the story. Take note, however, that the objective screen can sometimes outright spell out exactly what you need to do and make the game very easy.

The God Seed is the most powerful tool in the game, and you acquire it fairly early on. This tool acts as a minimap of sorts while also functioning like the motion sensor from Alien Isolation. The red dot on the radar marks the location of Xipe Totec, while the white dots mark the locations of exactly where you need to go. 

Hide From Xipe Totec

Xipe Totec is an Aztec god out to kill you and is the game’s main antagonist. The Aztec god works much like a stalker in any horror game and is incredibly deadly. Thankfully, he always announces his arrival with a booming voice, telegraphing his path with his loud footsteps. As soon as you hear the noise, it is your cue to hide, and there are plenty of spots on any level. As you go about hiding, watch for glass panes on the floor, as they can give your location away.
