Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival guide: Survive Hell

Before You Open the Box: Essential Survival Tips

Opening the box is easy; surviving what follows takes planning. This Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival guide helps you conserve supplies and avoid leaving important upgrades behind. With no chapter select, a missed item can become a problem long after you leave its location.

Keep this Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival guide handy for puzzle solutions, boss tactics, and trophy planning. The sections below include story and ending spoilers.

You play as Aidan, whose attempt to rescue Sunny from the Labyrinth draws him into Pinhead’s ritual. Survival depends on combining ordinary weapons with the Genesis Configuration, while recognizing which encounters demand escape.

Build your approach around these habits:

• Check the Objectives menu. Its headings identify your current story position; the game does not use traditional numbered chapters.
• Search before advancing. Progression can close access to earlier areas.
• Collect coins and Treasure. Coins cannot be farmed, and you cannot afford every shop item.
• Use storage regularly. Inventory starts small, and Treasure can be sold directly from storage at shops.
• Save before specific challenges. Manual saves provide useful recovery points for stealth sections and resource-intensive encounters.

Notes and documents add lore but are not required for trophies. If you are managing limited space or time, distinguish optional reading from weapons, recipes, and permanent upgrades.

Escape the Cult and Solve Important Locks

The opening escape teaches several rules that remain useful throughout this Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival guide: inspect objects closely, watch patrols, and look for clues outside the immediate puzzle.

To escape the restraint chair, remove the nail from your hand, then the hook, and use the hook to break the stitches holding you.

Later, crouch around Bruno’s room and wait for an opening near the restrained woman. Take the keycard beside her table, then use it at the exit door. A good approach is to watch Bruno’s movement before committing to the pickup.

How to Survive Chatterer Chases

For the encounters covered in this Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival guide, Chatterer encounters are escape sequences. Keep moving and choose routes where he is absent, including turning away when he appears ahead.

Later chases add Genesis Configuration puzzles. You may need to shift blocks while being pursued, so look for movable objects when an apparent dead end interrupts your route.

The original Cenobites cannot be killed or defeated. Pinhead, Chatterer, Fallen, and Butterball have different roles, but treating them as conventional combat targets wastes attention you need for survival.

Keypad Codes to Keep Nearby

Lock location	Code	Clue or qualification
Art hallway after sneaking past Bruno	9901	Painting plaques show 99 and 01; 0199 is also listed as an alternative
Cabinet after the bookshelves area	9891	Numbers on the body in the nearby bathtub
Cemetery house safe	9606	Dates on a note and photograph
Mansion upstairs cabinet	1966	Great Fire of London date plus 300 years
Snake Key room cabinet	1952	Photograph clue
Room immediately right after the Embossed Block door	1923	Picture in the next room
Dead end south of the fourth shop	1362	Statue numbers encountered later
Cabinet near the televisions and moving trap	8571	Numbers from two televisions
Cabinet near the late-game ladder	2342	Numbers on walls facing away from the cabinet

For the early Leviathan puzzle, collect the Leviathan Tip in the security office. Place it on the diamond statue in the previously visited hallway, then rotate its sections until the pattern connects. Take the S&M Duckie and use it at the locked door near the security office.

Manage the Genesis Configuration, Crafting, and Weapons

The resource advice in this Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival guide centers on one practical loop: conserve ammunition, damage vulnerable enemies, and use the box when its execution prompt becomes available.

Unworthy can flash blue after taking enough damage. At that point, you can finish them with the Genesis Configuration. Damaging enemies and performing these executions replenish Suffering, represented by the blue bar.

Telekinesis becomes available after the sewer section. It lets you lift environmental objects and throw them at enemies when you have sufficient Suffering.

Hellchains unlock later, after another Chatterer chase. The ability can tear apart multiple enemies, making crowded encounters useful opportunities for its associated trophy.

Crafting Recipes Worth Planning Around

Craftable item	Required materials	Recipe availability
Bandage	3 Cloth + 1 Chemicals	Available from the start
Pistol Ammo	3 Scraps + 2 Gunpowder	Obtained with the pistol
Medkit	2 Cloth + 4 Herbs + 1 Chemicals	First shop, 200 coins
Lockpick	3 Scraps + 3 Coils	First shop, 120 coins
Basic Repair Kit	1 Scraps + 1 Cloth + 2 Coils	First shop, 120 coins
Shotgun Ammo	3 Scraps + 1 Cloth + 3 Gunpowder + 1 Chemicals	Second shop, 220 coins
Assault Rifle Ammo	4 Scraps + 4 Gunpowder	Third shop after returning from the Labyrinth, 200 coins

Material drops are randomized, so a route cannot guarantee exactly when you will have enough supplies. Craft according to your inventory rather than expecting a particular crate to contain a specific ingredient.

The knife used for stealth kills does not break, while ordinary melee weapons do. A good approach is to use stealth when enemies are unaware and preserve ammunition for forced fights.

For trophy planning, reserve 450 coins for the Assault Rifle and 180 coins for AP Rounds when that upgrade becomes available. This combination supports the two-enemies-with-one-shot challenge.

At the fourth shop, check your recipe collection and unfinished crafting tasks. The final shop offers another purchasing opportunity, but there are no further ordinary encounters or material-gathering opportunities before the final boss.

Restore the Statue Gates and Defeat the Bosses

The Charlotte gate sequence combines exploration, combat, and object inspection. This portion of the Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival guide follows the three missing statue parts.

Missing part	What you need to do	Main obstacle
Statue’s Hand	Enter the mansion with Bolt Cutters; collect the Marlowe and Bruno figurines	Bruno fight and mansion lockdown
Statue’s Head	Take it from the cabin armchair	Survive the enemy assault, then collect the Crank Handle
Statue’s Tongue	Collect three Puzzle Blocks and open the well	Rotate the well puzzle to match its nearby drawing

Mansion and Well Puzzle Solutions

In the mansion, take the Winding Handle from the upstairs gramophone. Use it on the dining-room gramophone to obtain the Bruno Figurine.

The Marlowe Figurine is inside the upstairs safe with the rotating disc puzzle. Align the gold sections in the center and connect the surrounding slots. The safe also contains the SMG and an inventory upgrade.

Place both figurines on the central pedestal to collect the Statue’s Hand and Resurrection Key. After clearing the lockdown enemies, use the key to enter the sacrifice room.

Match the statues to the painting: spear upright, human face, and scales horizontal. Collect the Bedroom Key beyond the painting, then inspect the bedroom book for the Security Card needed to leave.

For the well, collect Puzzle Blocks from the playground carousel, the boat, and the body in the pagoda. Place the three collected blocks into the lock and rotate its sections to match the drawing beside it.

After obtaining the Statue’s Tongue underground, connect matching symbols at the electrical panel to open the route onward.

Boss Fight Tactics

Boss	Attack opportunity	Action to watch for
Bruno	A good approach is to use environmental objects and shotgun fire	During the second fight, he retreats through a hole in the wall after losing half his health
Charlotte	Use firearms, nearby flames, and environmental hazards	Evade her approach and handle intervening enemy waves
Sister of Mercy	Use ranged attacks while she flies	Dodge thrown knives; interrupt her red-room approach, then use prompted Hellchains
Marlowe	Shoot the attached smaller bodies, then expose him with Hellchains	Attack his revealed body with the shotgun and repeat through the next phase

Before Charlotte’s encounter, search the arena for ammunition. During the fight, police-car trunks contain gas canisters, and suspended torches can create fire hazards.

For Sister of Mercy, stop shooting when dodging her knives requires your attention. Her red-room phases lead to opportunities to knock her down and use Hellchains.

After Marlowe loses half his health, the fight moves to another part of the arena. Repeat the smaller-body attacks and Hellchains opening, then use the Genesis Configuration when the final interaction becomes available.

Collect sellable boss items before leaving, including Bruno’s Scalpel, Charlotte’s Crown, and the Sister of Mercy’s Whip.

Protect Your Trophy Run and Unlock Both Endings

Completion planning deserves its own place in this Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival guide because missed opportunities can require replaying substantial portions of the story.

Collect five Pain Pillars for health increases and five Suffering Pillars for additional Suffering capacity. Several sit off the main route, including one behind you before the blue-flame archway and another reached by rotating Labyrinth sections.

For the final Suffering Pillar, moving the central flame opens access to the side area. After collecting the upgrade, return the flame to restore the exit path.

Missable Challenges and Recovery Tips

Trophy or achievement	Requirement	Practical preparation
A Quiet Place	Escape the graveyard unseen without throwing objects	Save at the church; avoid picking up bottles or stones
Portable Guillotine	Behead three enemies with the same melee weapon	Repair a blade, weaken enemies until blue, then strike their heads
Red Dead Damnation	Shoot all nine dockside bottles	Bring at least nine bullets and attempt it before pulling the boat
Trickshot	Kill at least two enemies with one shot	Equip Assault Rifle AP Rounds and align weak enemies
In the Land of the Pig, the Butcher is King	Kill 69 enemies with Hellchains	Use crowded encounters; repeated autosave attempts are described as counting
Librarian and Artificer	Collect every recipe and craft every craftable item	Review unfinished purchases and crafting before the final stretch

In the graveyard, the crossed-out eye icon indicates concealment in bushes. Stay crouched and watch Charlotte’s patrol; some hiding positions may still expose you when she passes nearby.

Launch-Version Issues and the Final Choice

The October 8 walkthrough identifies both shop transaction trophies as glitched. It also notes inaccurate maps in later areas and a possible shop-door issue after Bruno takes the box. These are launch-version observations; do not assume spending extra coins will resolve them.

At the ending choice, follow the Cenobites through the wall to accept their offer, or remain in the apartment until the opening closes to refuse.

After returning to the main menu, reload the final autosave and choose the other outcome to unlock the second ending trophy without replaying the campaign.

FAQ

What should I prioritize in a Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival guide?

Prioritize permanent upgrades, crafting recipes, manual saves, and missable challenges. Check the Objectives menu to match your current mission, and search before leaving an area.

Can you kill Pinhead or Chatterer?

No. The original Cenobites cannot be killed or defeated. Chatterer encounters require escape, while other Cenobite interactions follow different narrative or gameplay rules.

Does Hellraiser: Revival have chapter select?

No. Once progression closes an area, you cannot return through chapter select. Collect important items when they become available and save before challenges you may need to retry.

Can you unlock both endings in one playthrough?

Yes. Complete one ending, reload the final autosave from the main menu, and make the opposite choice. Following the Cenobites accepts their offer; staying until the wall closes rejects it.
