They will be fighting beasts as well as monsters along the way while uncovering mythical treasures. However, the game isn’t exactly an easy one, and there are a lot of nuances that you should familiarize yourself with when starting it.

One of the most important features of Dark and Darker is reviving your friends, and today’s guide will be going over how you will be able to do that as you enjoy everything that the playtest has to offer.

Reviving your friends in Dark and Darker

As mentioned, Dark and Darker is specifically designed to be an incredibly unforgiving experience for both solo players as well as those who wish to tackle the dungeon with a party. However, if you are choosing to make the most of the game with your friends, you will need to have great cooperation and learn to revive your fallen teammates, especially if they succumb to a fatality.

Here's how you can revive your friends in the dungeon crawler:

• Loot some of the valuables that your teammate is carrying by interacting with their corpse. That’s the first thing you will be required to do when it comes to reviving your fallen friends in Dark and Darker.
• While you can choose to loot them completely, the two primary things that you will need to bring them back are the chest armor of their body and the Soul Heart, which will be slotted into the armor itself.
• After you have gotten your hands on the items, you will then need to make your way through the dungeon and arrive at the nearest Alter of Sacrifice. It’s important to be careful during your way there, especially if you are the last surviving member of the party.
• The Altar of Sacrifice is usually located around the Dungeon Basement level, so you will not have to search for too long to get one. Once you have encountered it, you will need to interact with it by pressing F.
• Upon doing so, a process will automatically trigger that will revive the teammates whose Soul Heart you are carrying. You will then be able to explore the dungeon with them once again.

You will be able to revive your friends as many times as you want in Dark and Darker. However, do keep in mind that there needs to be at least one party member alive who can bring the team back to life. If the squad gets wiped out completely, it will be game over.
