The Death of Apocalypse event in Marvel Rivals Season 9 is not your typical challenge checklist. Three murders, a web of suspects, and a crime scene you have to piece together yourself. After Apocalypse's death sent shockwaves through the roster, it turns out Wolverine, Psylocke, and Gambit were also killed. Each case drops over the course of a week, and the Psylocke investigation is now live.
The puzzle mechanic is deceptively simple on the surface but genuinely frustrating when you place a clue in the wrong spot and get zero feedback about which one is wrong. This guide cuts straight to the solution so you can collect your rewards and get back to the action.
What is the Death of Apocalypse event?
The Death of Apocalypse event is a narrative-driven limited-time event in Season 9 of Marvel Rivals. Rather than asking you to win matches or deal a set amount of damage, each case asks you to investigate a murder by gathering clues from a gallery card and placing them into a crime scene report.
Each gallery card has sparkle hotspots on it. Pressing each one triggers a conversation between heroes that surfaces a key word or piece of evidence. Once you have collected all the key words from a card, you flip to the investigation view, where a body of text appears with blanks and three suspects listed. Your job is to match the right clues to the right blanks.

How to find all the Psylocke clues
Before you can fill in the blanks, you need to unlock every clue from the gallery card. Tap each sparkle on the Psylocke card and read through the hero conversations that appear. Each one surfaces a key word tied to the crime scene narrative. You need all of them active before the investigation text becomes fully fillable.
There is no time limit on gathering clues, so take your time reading through each conversation. The dialogue does more than just provide the keywords; it builds the story context that makes the final reveal land properly.
What is the correct solution for the Death of Psylocke case?
Use the image provided in the event interface as your reference point for exact blank positions. Place your collected clues into the corresponding blanks as shown in the official solution layout. Every blank maps to a specific key word from the gallery card conversations.
Once all clues are placed correctly, the case resolves and the murderer is revealed.

Who killed Psylocke in Marvel Rivals?
Loki is the killer. The God of Mischief had been searching for a way to rewrite destiny entirely, and that search led him to Psylocke. She comes from a unique watercolor universe, and Loki believed her blood was the key ingredient he needed to achieve his goal.
He trapped Psylocke within an illusion and framed Magik as the murderer to throw investigators off the trail. The twist: after everything, Loki discovered that Psylocke's blood only allowed him to redraw fragments of lost worlds, not rewrite destiny as he had hoped. The plan failed, but Psylocke still paid the price.
This revelation adds another layer to the broader mystery of who killed Apocalypse himself. With Psylocke's case closed, attention shifts to the Gambit investigation, which is the next case in the sequence.
What happens after you solve the case?
Completing the Psylocke investigation unlocks the next stage of the Death of Apocalypse event and moves you closer to uncovering who killed Apocalypse. The event rewards are tied to case completions, so solving each one in sequence matters for your progress.
