Activities
Can you feel it? The spirit world draws close during the Day of the Dead. This is why we decorate the graves of our dearly departed with flowers and candles and offerings: to welcome them back, even if only for a time.
Dance with Catrina
Let us cherish and honor those we have lost in their ghostly presence, so that they might eat and drink and smile and know that they are loved. Dance with Catrina and you will be transformed into a skeleton and unlock an achievement.
The Grateful Dead
Purchase some Orange Marigold or Bouquet of Orange Marigolds from Chapman and use them to see the otherwise invisible spirit in the graveyard. Acquire some Bread of the Dead and give it to the Cheerful Spirit.
