At the beginning of Death's Door, the player is only given four Vitality Crystals, the game's form of measuring health. They will lose one whenever they get hit. When the protagonist runs out of Vitality Crystals, they'll be sent back to the last door they interacted with.

Increasing the player's Vitality Crystals definitely a good pro-tip to follow for those looking to beat the game. The player can collect Shards from Crystal Shrines to increase their Vitality Crystals. Collecting four shards will form one Vitality Crystal. There are only eight shards in the game, thus giving the player two extra Vitality Crystals once they collect all eight Shards. Here's where to find all eight of them in this little indie game.
From the door, the player must climb up to the bridge south of the door and continue heading to the southern path. Continue this way until the player reaches the elevator platform.
Once they're down the elevator, the player must go around to the back of this structure, which will rotate the camera and reveal two consecutive ladders. Going down and entering the cave on the right will lead the player to the first Vitality Crystal Shrine.
Although placed at an early level, this shrine requires players to have the Hookshot ability, one of the best abilities in the game. Once the player receives the Hookshot ability from the Castle Lockstone level, simply head back to the Grove of Spirits and enter the portal that leads to the Lost Cemetery.
Behind the portal is a cross that players can attach their hooks to. Continue down this path, and they should find the next Vitality Crystal Shrine.
From the manor entrance, the player must continue heading south until they reach a section with a broken fence that drops down to a lower area. The area does not have a ladder, so the player must simply jump down to proceed.

From there, the player must continue south until they spot a series of sections with unlit fire pits. Lighting all four will raise a bridge, which will then lead to a secret room that houses a Vitality Crystal Shrine.
From the gate, players must head to the southeast until they arrive at the Furnace Observation Rooms. From there, use the hovering platforms to get to the south, then to the east, and then to a ladder that leads to the upper section.
From here, the player must simply traverse the pipe bridge without falling. Once they accomplish this, they should stumble upon the level's Vitality Crystal Shrine.
From the Forest Settlement, take the ladder at the back of the hut behind the Forest Mother. Head right, jump down, then head north. From here, the player must head up and take the path south of the circular park, then continue downwards until they reach the vine that will take them up when attacked.
Once players have reached the higher platform, continue going up until they reach a drop-down point behind the bomb-slinging flower. Jump down while pressing the attack button to access the underground grate. Continuing forward will lead them to a Vitality Crystal Shrine.
From the door, take the entrance directly across where the player is standing. Players should then continue heading downwards until they reach an area that has a ladder on the south and a flight of stairs on left. Head left and jump down, then take the entrance at the top of the stairs.

Hit the vine to be taken to the upper platform, and take the entrance on the right. Continue on in this room to find an entrance blocked by a breakable wall. Break the wall using the bomb spell to enter. In the next room, fire up the unlit fire pits in quick succession to open the gate. The Vitality Crystal Shrine is in the next room.
From the door of the level, head up, and take the bridge down on the lower left. Players should continue forward using Hookshot until they reach a platform with four crosses.
Once here, the player will need to defeat waves of enemies before they can continue forward. The Crystal Shrine is in the next area, beyond a series of enemies.
Located beyond the Camp of the Free Crows, this is by far the most difficult platforming challenge in the game. As the last Vitality Crystal Shrine, it's also the hardest to get to.
Exit the camp and continue towards the right until players reach a level an icy level with a slippery footing. From here, the player will simply need to continue forward by hitting a switch with the bow and quickly jumping on the platform before it deactivates again.
This level requires precision and timing. It will take a while, but completing this section will reward the player with the final Vitality Crystal Shrine of the game.
