Marvel Rivals Guide: How To Solve The Death Of Wolverine

Taking a break from the usual combat grinds to solve a detective mystery is a fun change of pace in Season 9.

A Marvel Rivals menu graphic for the "Death of Apocalypse" storyline, featuring a central Egyptian-style sarcophagus and comic-style panels depicting the deaths of Wolverine, Psylocke, and Gambit.

The Death of Apocalypse event drops you into a full murder mystery. Apocalypse has been taken down, and the collateral damage includes Wolverine, Psylocke, and Gambit. The event focuses on clearing these individual crime scenes, starting with Logan. It is a neat little narrative puzzle, but the interface can get slightly annoying because submitting a single incorrect word forces you to recheck everything without telling you where you made the mistake. You can skip that trial and error phase entirely by using the direct solution.

How to Gather the Keywords

To begin the case, navigate over to the Events tab in the main menu and open up the Death of Apocalypse screen. From there, select the Death of Wolverine mystery to open up the main event workspace.

The Investigate tab contains a gallery illustration covered in small sparkle icons. Clicking on every single sparkle triggers short dialogue sequences between different heroes. Reading through these conversations is how your game officially logs the keywords needed for the next step. If the puzzle screen won't let you interact with the blanks yet, you probably missed a text line. Go back through the card and tap the sparkles again until the dialogue fully updates.

All Correct Deduction Answers

Once you have all your clues gathered, switch over to the Deduction page. You need to fill twelve text slots in a specific order and pick three specific characters to label as persons of interest.

Here is the exact layout to clear the puzzle instantly:

  • Blank 1: Bucky

  • Blank 2: Hydra

  • Blank 3: Murdered

  • Blank 4: Family

  • Blank 5: Wolverine

  • Blank 6: Berserker Rage

  • Blank 7: Host

  • Blank 8: Mechanical Arm

  • Blank 9: Tentacles

  • Blank 10: Hive Cells

  • Blank 11: Blood

  • Blank 12: Healing Factor

For the final section at the bottom of the page, select these three specific Persons of Interest:

  • Jubilee

  • Wolverine

  • Bucky

The Culprit and Story Reveal

Submitting the correct list completes the investigation and reveals that Bucky is the one who killed Wolverine.

The background details show that Bucky was operating under Hydra control when he murdered Logan's family years ago. Discovering this truth pushed Wolverine straight into a Berserker Rage, which started a brutal fight. Bucky ended up landing the fatal blow with his mechanical arm, using hive cells to actively drain Logan's blood and completely shut down his famous healing factor.

Closing out the case successfully awards you "The Body in the Lazarus Chamber (The Mystery of Thebes #3)" Gallery Card for your collection. Since this is a multi-part event, the remaining cases follow the exact same format. Psylocke's scene opened on July 12, Gambit followed on July 16, and the final conclusion wraps up on August 20, giving you plenty of time to clear the board and figure out who actually killed Apocalypse.
