10 Times You Came Back From The Dead To Kick Ass In Video Games

1. The Spirit Monk - Jade Empire

Wolfenstein II The New Colossus
BioWare

BioWare's Jade Empire is one of the most under-appreciated RPGs of all time, and also features one of the coolest resurrection arcs in gaming history.

In the later stages of the game, the Spirit Monk protagonist rescues their mentor, Master Li, from the evil Emperor Sun Hai.

After defeating the Emperor in a boss fight, however, Master Li reveals his true colours, quickly killing the Spirit Monk and installing himself as the new Emperor.

The Spirit Monk then has to battle their way through the afterlife in order to be resurrected, ahead of a climactic confrontation with Li, where they can either submit to his will, kill him and become the new Emperor, or destroy the Water Dragon's body and become the real hero of the Jade Empire.
