The Death of Apocalypse event turns Marvel Rivals Season 9 into a detective mini-game. Instead of grinding challenges, you investigate a run of murders around Apocalypse’s sarcophagus in Thebes, collect clues by tapping the crime scene, and enter them on a deduction page to unmask the killer. Only one case, the Death of Wolverine, is playable when the event begins, and it has a single correct set of answers.
Quick answer: For the Death of Wolverine deduction, fill the blanks in this order — Bucky, Hydra, Murdered, Family, Wolverine, Berserker Rage, Host, Mechanical Arm, Tentacles, Hive Cells, Blood, Healing Factor. For Persons of Interest, enter Jubilee, Wolverine, Bucky. Confirm to close the case.
Death of Wolverine deduction answers (in order)
The deduction page has two parts. The case description holds twelve blanks, and they only accept the right cluewords in the right sequence. The Persons of Interest section takes three names. Enter both sets exactly as shown below.
| Slot | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1 | Bucky |
| 2 | Hydra |
| 3 | Murdered |
| 4 | Family |
| 5 | Wolverine |
| 6 | Berserker Rage |
| 7 | Host |
| 8 | Mechanical Arm |
| 9 | Tentacles |
| 10 | Hive Cells |
| 11 | Blood |
| 12 | Healing Factor |
For the three Persons of Interest slots, enter Jubilee, then Wolverine, then Bucky. Once both the description and the suspect slots are complete, the section reads as done and you can confirm the deduction.
How to open and investigate the case
What solving Death of Wolverine gives you
A correct deduction unlocks the truth of the case and lets you claim its reward. Completing Death of Wolverine grants the Gallery Card “The Body in the Lazarus Chamber (The Mystery of Thebes #3).” Cases also pay out Units, and clearing this one opens the path to the next investigation in the sequence.
You know it worked when the case returns you to the event hub marked as solved and the reward becomes claimable. If the deduction rejects your input, the usual reason is a missing clue. Go back to Investigate and confirm the counter shows every clueword collected before trying again.
When the Psylocke and Gambit cases unlock
The three cases open on fixed dates rather than all at once. Wolverine is available immediately, and the other two follow in sequence. Solving all three reveals the mastermind behind the killings.
| Case | Availability |
|---|---|
| Death of Wolverine | At launch, July 10, 2026 |
| Death of Psylocke | July 12, 2026 |
| Death of Gambit | July 16, 2026 |
| Final truth | After all three cases are solved |
The whole event runs through August 20, 2026, so there is time to work each scene once it opens. Until a case goes live, there is no way to start it early.
The event ties into Season 9’s Egypt storyline, where Apocalypse was killed mid-ascension while harvesting divine energy, setting off the string of deaths around his sarcophagus. For now, the Death of Wolverine answers above are all you need to claim the first Gallery Card, then check back on July 12 and July 16 as the remaining cases go live.
