Clash at Demonhead is a non-linear game, in that you are free to travel along any route that you have access to in any order that you like. However, certain events will not occur until other actions have taken place in other routes. The game requires you to travel throughout nearly the entire map. As a result, a player may end up revisiting routes multiple times if the chosen order through the routes are very inefficient. There are many ways to proceed through the game, but what follows is one example of an attempt to traverse through the routes as efficiently as possible so as to minimize revisiting route as much as possible while still accomplishing everything that's necessary. You are not required to follow this specific route in order to complete the game, but if you wish to following along with the guide's walkthrough, this is the recommended order:
