Guide to all the survivors in Evil Dead: The Game

 How to unlock all survivors, a description of their skills and abilities

In Evil Dead: The Game, there are two outcomes in the fight against the Kandaria Demon - victory or death. In this guide, we will show you how to win in Evil Dead The Game by controlling a survivor. The asymmetric horror game from Saber Interactive has a lot of different mechanics and actions that can be a bit confusing.

First of all, you will need to choose who you will play as. There are 13 characters available from the very beginning in the list of survivors of Evil Dead: The Game. Once you choose your current hero, you will find yourself in a dark forest along with three other survivors and will be forced to confront the Candarian demon and other dead people. Let's figure out what needs to be done to defeat him.

Survivor Victory Conditions

To earn the victory, you have to complete several consecutive tasks:

1. Find map fragments
2. Find the lost pages of the Necronomicon
3. Find a Kandarian dagger
4. Fight the Dark
5. Close gap/portal
6. Protect the Necronomicon

The map consists of several fragments, and before you start looking for the lost pages of the Necronomicon and the Kandarian dagger, you have to find all of them. The dagger is needed to defeat the Dark Ones and close the gap, and the book will allow you to perform a ritual to exorcise the demon. Doing all these actions, do not forget to follow the scale of fear.

When you collect all the necessary tools, you can use the map to find the place of the fault. Closing it is not easy, but the more you interact with it and the more Dark Ones you can kill, the faster the otherworldly portal will close. After you close the Rift, you will have to survive for two minutes. You must confront the player controlling the demon and trying to destroy the Necronomicon. If you survive, then win. If you die or the demon destroys the Necronomicon, he will win.

Below we have prepared a complete list of all survivors in the game. We have attached background information about the character and his abilities to each of them. Right now there are 13 different survivors in Evil Dead: The Game. Most of them are unlocked from the very beginning, however, some will require you to complete several tasks to get them. In addition, each survivor belongs to one of four classes. They have their own unique abilities and perks.

All leaders

Leaders are the core of any team. They generate a special aura that provides all survivors within its range with various positive effects. For example, it reduces incoming damage, increases outgoing damage, reduces the growth rate of fear, and much more. This role is for team players who want to stick together with their comrades and are ready to take on one task after another together.

Ash Williams (comedy horror film Ash vs Evil Dead)

This iteration of Ash Williams from the latest installment in the franchise. He is armed with a chainsaw and is wearing a denim shirt. Can anyone resist such a formidable force? Ash vs Evil Dead takes place 30 years after the original trilogy, so Ash has been in this version for many years.

How to get the character: To unlock the hero, you must complete the tutorial (survivor or demon) and the first quest, "If you love someone, free them...with a chainsaw."

• Came, Seen, Exploded: An active skill that causes an explosion, reducing the balance bar of enemies.
• Chief. An aura that affects all Survivors within range, increasing their fear resistance and damage dealt.
• Faithful companion. From the very beginning of the game, you get a chainsaw.
• Grand Chef. Amplifies the effect of your aura when you land a finishing blow or dismember an enemy.

Annie Knowby

Annie Knowby is another leader in Evil Dead: The Game. Knowby first appeared in Evil Dead 2, but is returning here as a great support character to build a team around.

Lord Arthur

First appearing in the Army of Darkness, Lord Arthur is the king of Kandar Castle who lived in the Middle Ages. This is where Ash went at the end of Evil Dead 2. His enemy is Henry the Red, but the two soon team up to confront the Army of Darkness.

How to get the character: To unlock this character, you need to complete five tasks. It will become available after the "Return of the King" mission.

• God's wrath. When activated, this ability increases the damage dealt by your melee attacks and those of your nearby teammates, in addition to lowering your fear level; if Lord Arthur has a sword, it deals extra damage

• Weapon Mastery: Weak Attacks - You and your team members within the aura deal more damage with weak melee attacks.

All warriors

These are melee-oriented characters. Warriors have skills and abilities designed for hand-to-hand combat, so they are used primarily to destroy the dead with shovels, bats, hammers, knives, axes, and other similar weapons. Among their abilities are those that strengthen the shield or even provide complete invulnerability (albeit temporary). This role is for those who crave more battles and want to be in the thick of things.
