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 head towards water during the Diplomat's Senator event.

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 with no conditions.

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 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.

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.

Finally, do the hunting method for Death 4, but select "Get a doctor!" instead. If he says you are dying of gangrene you will get this death.

Death 7 - Pagans love Halloween
Let Church hit minimum with no other conditions.

Death 8 - Martyr dummy
Let Church hit maximum with no other conditions. If you get a Pungeon card, select "Turn back".

Death 9 - B-I-L betrayal
The Queen may occasionally bring her B-I-L to the castle. Get Army to minimum during this event.

Death 10 - Awful army
Let your Army hit minimum without any other conditions.

Death 11 - Your heir's noose
Let the Army hit maximum with an heir (the heir must be grown up).

Let the People hit minimum while Money is extremely high, but not maximum.

Death 14 - Left behind
Let the People hit minimum with no other condition.

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. (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.)

Death 16 - Broken heart
Get the Money to maximum while you have the Lover effect.

Death 17 - Stuffed as a bear
Get the Money to maximum with no other conditions. This death is random, and deaths 27 or 28 may instead occur.

Death 18 - Can dog eat king?
Get the Money to minimum while the average of all stats is below average.

Death 19 - Sent in exile
You can either get the Money to minimum while the average of all stats is okay, 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.

Death 22 - Misadventures and mishaps
The Foreign Princess may give you 10 year peace. Select "Escape" during the "Nothing is happening" segment of the 10 years.

Death 23, 24 and 25 - The endings
Death 23 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 23 on the 1332 death wish.

For 23, it involves a Skeleton, strawberries and Lamascus.

For 24, waste the final death wish, and say you're tired of this to the Spirit.

For 25, use your final death wish on the Spirit.

Death 26 - Lizards hate greedy kings
Try to fight the Dragon without having the Excalibur.

Death 27 - Harold II's nightmare
Get the Money to maximum with no other conditions. This death is random, and deaths 17 or 28 may instead occur.

Get the Money to maximum with no other conditions. This death is random, and deaths 17 or 27 may instead occur.

Death 29 - Lamascus doesn't mess around
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.
