Deaths

There are a total of 29 deaths in Reigns.

#### Death 1 - Drowned

You can either get Money to minimum while Army is very low or Church is very high-maximum, or head towards water during the Diplomat's Senator event. (sometimes you drown even if you went the other way from the water)

#### Death 2 - Burned alive

Keep making bad decisions with the church (the Priest, Nun and Monk), the Priest will tell you either you are arrested or you aren't listening to him. If it's the arrest scenario, simply choose "Go to hell!". If it's the listening scenario, choose "It's certainly not you". In a later event where you are in a crypt with him, select "Explain yourself!"

Alternatively, you can get Money to minimum while Church is very low.

#### Death 3 - Locked away

There are 3 methods to obtain this.

Firstly, let Army get to maximum, while no other conditions are met.

Secondly, keep making bad decisions with the army (The General and Soldier) until the General says to listen to him. If you select "No", then he will ask if you want to see a new weapon in action. If you select "Yes", then he will lock you in prison.

Finally, you can let every stat run out in the Pungeon. If you are doing this method, then it is strongly advised not to drink potions.

#### Death 4 - Peaceful passing

There are 3 methods to obtain this.

Firstly, let People get to maximum as long as the church hasn’t built a school.

Secondly, ask the Witch for a happiness spell. Select the crown to remove.

Finally, you can get an event where you either hunt wolves or pigs. If you suffer an accident, select "Let me rest".

#### Death 5 - Perfect life

There are 2 ways to do this. You can either play for long (short?) enough and die of old age (if you want to reign for longer times, drink the potion of youth to avoid this method), or you can attempt to fight the dragon with the Excalibur in your possession.

#### Death 6 - Nasty illness

There are 3 methods to obtain this.

Firstly, you may get an event where a ship is quarantined. If you don't quarantine the whole port, you may get black death. Let people hit minimum with black death to obtain this. (Note that the barn won’t save you from this death.)

Secondly, there may be an event where the executioner may want to quit. Then, the doctor will ask if he can be the new role. Select "Sure, why not" and his experiments will cause a plague and you will die instantly.

Finally, do the hunting method for Death 4, but select "Get a doctor!" instead. If he says you are dying of gangrene or if the Witch or Him say that they need to intervene and you refuse you will get this death.

#### Death 7 - Dismembered by pagans

Let Church hit minimum without a cathedral.

#### Death 8 - Martyr dummy

Let Church hit maximum with no other conditions. If you get a Pungeon card, select "Turn around".

#### Death 9 - B-I-L betrayal

The Queen may occasionally bring her brother aka your brother-in-law to the castle. Get Army to minimum during this event.

#### Death 10 - Awful army

Let your Army hit minimum without high walls.

#### Death 11 - Your own son, how could he do that?

Let the Army hit maximum with an heir (the heir must be grown up and can't be arrested during the Bloody Cow event), alternatively, this death can happen if the Money gets to maximum while the Army is very high-maximum.

#### Death 12 - Genocidal general

Let the Army hit maximum while the dungeon bodies are found and you refuse to give more security or reinforce the garrison. This death provides a hint on the "accuse the killer" event.

#### Death 13 - stretched out

Let the People hit minimum while Money is extremely high-maximum, you need to get the "Your people is famished" instead of the maximum money card for this to work.

#### Death 14 - Left behind

Let the People hit minimum without the barn.

#### Death 15 - Burnt out your home

Let People hit maximum while the average of all stats is below average. To include People in these stats, the choice "Lets keep calm" will make it jump from below average to maximum or if you arrange the bestial honeymoon with the Army already low, Money and Church will fall below average. (Note, there may be other conditions for this death. It's very cryptic how to get it, however the stats listed here usually do the trick for the original writer of this list). This can also be triggered if the population hits maximum while the stats are not below average and then you select "Lets keep calm" then refuse to let the nun handle it.

#### Death 16 - Broken heart

Get the Money to maximum while you have the Lover effect. (Sometimes this can be avoided after you get the Party card announcing the death and swiping it).

#### Death 17 - Stuffed as a bear

Get the Money to maximum as long as you’re currently not in a crusade. This death is random, and deaths 27 or 28 may instead occur.

#### Death 18 - Can dog eat king?

Get the Money to minimum with no bank and the average of 2 or all stats is below average or at the threshold of average and below average.

#### Death 19 - Sent in exile

You can either get the Money to minimum with no bank and the average of 2 or all stats is way above average or 1 is almost maximum, or you can select "Let's do both" in the "King of the West Visit" event.

#### Death 20 - Duelled out

Die to the Skeleton, the Prince or the Barbarian. (Note the Barbarian and Prince duels are much rarer than Skeleton's, where you can just go to the dungeon.)

#### Death 21 - Dangerous doors

In the dungeon, some doors may lead to traps. The easiest way to get this is to find a door with Gold and Mercury, enter Mercury. If you have the Torch, simply find a room with Arsenic and a wall. Break the wall. Also triggers when you enter an Arsenic door instead of breaking wall or entering the door next to it. (Note that if you have the Loaded Dice, the jester will save you.)

#### Death 22, 23 and 24 - The endings

Death 22 is the main ending, so instead of a guide a hint will be left. The others are easy. They all involve 1998's death wish, however given luck, you can do 22 on the 1332 death wish.

For 22, it involves a Skeleton, strawberries and Lamascus.

For 23, waste the final death wish, and say you're tired of this to the Spirit.

For 24, use your final death wish on the Spirit.

#### Death 25 - Lizards hate greedy kings

Try to fight the Dragon without having the Excalibur.

#### Death 26 - Misadventures and mishaps

At any time or another, the Foreign Princess may give you ten year peace, when "nothing is happening" select "Escape" during this event.

#### Death 27 - A little accident with an arrow

Get the Money to maximum as long as you’re not in a crusade. This death is random, and deaths 17 or 28 may instead occur.

#### Death 28 - Alcohol kills

Get the Money to maximum as long as you’re not in a crusade. This death is random, and deaths 17 or 27 may instead occur.

#### Death 29 - Burried in lamascus and eaten by giant fire ants

In a crusade, the Foreign Princess may grant you access to the Homunculus' machine, but you must never crusade again. If you crusade after this event, the Foreign Princess will cause this death.
