Death Helix

The Death Helix is where a character goes if they have died but were not yet supposed to, according to Death. In the Death Helix fights work differently and there are also puzzles that must be solved to progress.

SoulShards
In the Death Helix a character cannot use their body's strength, they must use the strength of their soul, in the form of a creature called a SoulShard. During fights in the Death Helix the SoulShard of a character is present alongside the character and helps them fight. Damage dealt by a SoulShard appears to be returned to the character as health.

Game Events
So far, two characters have entered the Death Helix. The first, Axel, was granted his SoulShard by death and proceeded through it, fighting Shadows and solving puzzles. The second, Desper, angered death and attempted to proceed without his SoulShard; he encountered a Shadow and could not proceed. It is currently unknown what exactly the purpose of the Death Helix is, as neither character gained any rewards or made it to an exit; rather, both escaped during the "cosmic reversal", which is presumably not the standard method. An item called a "revival drop" has been mentioned, but never seen or used.
