One of Evil Dead: The Game’s best features is the ability to play as some of the franchise’s most iconic characters, but just how do you unlock the likes of Amanda Fisher and Pablo Simon Bolivar? Here’s everything you need to know. Designed in a similar asymmetrical style to the likes of Behavior Interactive’s Dead by Daylight, Evil Dead: The Game challenges players to survive in a campy, horror-inspired universe inhabited by fearsome, bloodthirsty Kandarian Demons. One of the game‘s main perks is the ability to control some of the franchise’s classic characters, including the likes of Ash vs The Evil Dead’s Amanda Fisher and El Brujo Especial himself, Pablo Simon Bolivar. But just how do you unlock these familiar faces in Evil Dead: The Game? Here’s a rundown of how to add characters to your roster of hardened Survivors. How to unlock characters in Evil Dead: The Game In order to start expanding your roster, you’ll need to complete certain missions in single-player mode. These are accessible via the ‘Mission‘ tab on the main menu. While only five missions are available at the moment, a sixth is listed, implying another hero may be joining the fray very soon. Each character has a dedicated mission, which we’ve listed below. Note that all Ash skins will only be usable on the Leader version of the character: Character Mission Amanda Fisher Kill ’em all Ash (Ash vs the Evil Dead outfit) If you love someone set them free… with a chainsaw Ash (Funeral Attire outfit) Party Down! Lord Arthur Homecoming King Pablo Simon Bolivar It’s not gonna let us go!

If your teammates have fallen in Evil Dead: The Game, you’ll either need to revive them or resurrect their soul. Here’s how you can bring your teammates back to life in Evil Dead: The Game.  Evil Dead: The Game is a fresh take on asymmetrical horror games, as players team up to defeat the Kandarian demon and the dreaded Deadites. Tackling the undead is no easy feat in Evil Dead: The Game and you’ll likely need to revive your teammates, or even resurrect their souls. Fear not as reviving your friends and bringing them back into the fight isn’t as difficult as it may seem. How to revive your teammates in Evil Dead: The Game Collecting the pages of the Necronomicon will often lead to one or two of your teammates facing certain death. If your teammate is bleeding out in battle, here’s how you can revive them: Locate your teammate via the ‘Bleeding Out’ logo on-screen Stand next to your teammate to activate the ‘Revive’ prompt Hold down ‘Revive’ Once you’ve revived your fallen teammate, make sure to heal up using Shemp’s Cola, which can found around the map. Some classes grant extra buffs too, so it’s worth heading back to the menu and leveling up your character once in a while. If you can’t revive your teammates, their soul will need to be resurrected, if you wish to bring them back into battle. How to resurrect souls in Evil Dead: The Game Evil Dead: The Game isn’t forgiving and the onslaught of Deadites will take out your teammates along the way. To bring back your teammates from the afterlife, you need to resurrect their soul by following these steps: Find your teammate’s soul Stand next to it and hold down ‘Collect’ Take it to the ‘Altar’ location marked on-screen At the ‘Altar’, hold down ‘Resurrect’ Now your teammate will appear back in the game as you continue your quest to defeat the Dark Ones. Keep in mind that it's not always ideal to revive or resurrect immediately if a team member is downed or dead. Even though revive is fast, you open yourself up to powerful attacks from bosses and other enemies. Also, while a member of your team is down, the enemy player can't get fear of off the downed player and thus level up slower. If you are certain that you can win the fight with one or two members downed, it might be better to let them bleed out, win the fight and then resurrect them at an alter. Remember, if you are on the last stages, getting the dagger or the Necronomicon pages, winning the fight will expel the demon and giving you plenty of time to resurrect dead players. Another important thing to know is that on the very last stage, when the two minute timer begins to defend the necronomicon, there are no second chances. If a player is killed by the demon, the player is dead, like really dead. No revives or resurrects.

Finding the Map Pieces in Evil Dead: The Game When entering a match as one of the defenders of humanity, you will receive a mission objective in the top right corner that will read something like “Collect a piece of the map near Faison farm.” This usually points to the map piece closest to your location, and I believe all players have the same piece to look for at the same time. You may find when approaching this area that the building you were supposed to search doesn’t contain the map piece; Fret not, because this isn’t a piece of demon trickery. You have to search the entire grey circle area outlined on the map in order to find the map piece. This is easier to do if you open up your full map. You can do this by pressing M on the keyboard or with the select button on the controller. When you do approach the area of the map piece’s location, you will see a highlighted exclamation point over the area. Approach this, hold down E, and you will collect the map piece. Your mission objective should now change, telling you where to look to find the next piece. The map will also be highlighted with a green aura. Keep in mind, though the placement of the map pieces is different every game, the map can only spawn in certain areas. It will often be on a wall, at eye level, facing the rest of the room where the player would be standing. Look for areas that logically would have a map there.

This clue is misleading in a number of ways. Firstly, the treasure is located in Hordafylke to the north, and it's not east of the village of Alrekstad, it's actually on the large island to the west.  The treasure can be found just southwest of the synchronization point there. Make your way down the very steep cliff face to reach the bottom. You'll see a huge tunnel behind you, so head to the end to find the treasure. Loot it to receive the Snakebite Scheme (Sail) for your longship.

Wow... All that hype for a simple BMW commercial. Sorry Arnold, I'm not impressed by the misleading campaign.

And so they did...
