Evil Dead: The Game features deliciously gruesome violence and standout moments that make for a gory fun time, but it’s not all scream and no substance: there are many layers to the game and strategies to keep in mind. in mind. Whether you play as the heroic Ash Williams and his friends, or the vile and powerful demon Kandarian, we’ve rounded up our top tips to ensure you get a (cut) helping hand.
Top tips for survivors:
For survivors to win, it takes cunning strategy, synergistic teamwork, and always being on your toes. You must keep a cool head and your eyes on the Necronomicon prize, while your teammates are possessed, Deadites vomit projectiles at you, trees swing at you, and more. Here are some tips for success:
Play as a team: A crew of four survivors who stay together is much stronger than any player who goes alone. They can also divide the loot they find among themselves. They are also less prone to fear, and this will help keep your fear level low!
Don’t forget to use the ping system to tell your teammates about objectives, items, and locations! Whether you’re in voice chat or playing without, communication via the ping system is the key to success.
Choose your battles wisely: If you are together, you can fight against Deadites and bosses and have a chance to eliminate them. But if you’re alone and the team is separated, maybe it’s better to run away and live to fight another day.
Stealth is your friend: The Kandarian demon can see you when your fear level is high, when you get into a car, and when you shoot. Preventing the demon from finding you quickly will allow you to advance in the early game without major problems.
- High fear levels allow the demon to see survivors on the minimap. This means he can get close to you and unleash carnage.
- High fear levels also allow the demon to possess survivors, control them, and turn them against each other.
- Find sources of light, like lamps or bonfires, and turn them on to reduce your fear.
Kandari demon tips
Playing as a Kandarian Demon can be a lot of fun. You are an incorporeal evil entity – capable of spawning Deadites, scaring and possessing survivors, setting traps, and many other diabolical deeds. But to consistently win as a Demon will take time and skill to master. Here are some key tips to put you on the path to demonic domination:
Learn the map: Knowing the key points on the map makes it easier and faster to find survivors.
- The map of Cleaver County is huge. Focus on key points to search for survivors. The center of the map, called Dead End, is a great place to start.
Divide the group: A single survivor dies easily. Scare them away and get them closer to your traps.
- Evil trees are a great way to slow down one of the survivors and separate them from the group. Place traps or possess survivors, timing attacks correctly to create distance between them.
Disturb them, frighten them, kill them: The Kandarian Demon’s power increases faster when acting against Survivors. Encourage survivors to activate your traps, attack them and possess them. All of this will make you stronger and stronger.
- Warlord is a fairly balanced demon. Possessing Deadites and placing traps will do the trick. Use all the resources at your disposal to keep the survivors on their toes.
- Puppeteer is based on possession. Finding survivors should be your #1 priority. Using Deadites already on the map and hunting survivors is the key to eliminating them.
- The necromancer bases his strength on numbers. Placing traps in target areas will give you an advantage in upcoming fights. Don’t forget to place the flautist correctly! In the ideal situation, it’s essential to place it in a hidden or obscure location so Survivors won’t easily identify and defeat it, but close enough that it can buff your evil units.
