Rebirth in DOORS: The Lotus revival badge

Updated 03.10.2026· Author: Mark K

Where to get it

Die and choose to revive through a Lotus—yours or someone else’s. Either one works. First, you need to get and plant a Lotus. The game takes care of the rest.

How to get it

Get a Lotus: collect eight petals in The Outdoors and take them to Grampy.
Plant it on the ground. After you die, you can revive at the spot where you planted it.
When you die, tap the “Use Lotus” icon. This button isn’t available in the Lobby.
You get the badge for reviving through a Lotus.

How hard is it?

The hard part is getting a Lotus. Dying afterward is easy. About 1 in 1000 players who have entered DOORS at least once has this badge.

Tip

I plant my Lotus before a dangerous section, not right next to Grampy. That way, reviving takes me back less far.

How many players have earned it

I have this badge — your checkmark will be saved in the tracker on this device.

Someone Else’s Lotus Counts, Too

Don’t have your own Lotus? No problem. After you die, you can see all the Lotuses planted by you and other players who died. Other players can vote to use a teammate’s Lotus, and that still counts for the badge.

A Lotus is only used up when the player who planted it chooses to revive through it. In my opinion, the easiest team strategy is to have the most careful player plant the Lotus.

Where to Plant It So You Won’t Regret It

Once you plant a Lotus, you can’t pick it back up. So choose the spot carefully, because you only get one chance.

I plant mine before a section where I’ve died before. A Lotus can also work as a checkpoint for rare Items like a Briefcase or a Disc. And while the Lotus is active, you don’t drop your Items when you die. Even if you already have the badge, it’s a good safety net.

When a Lotus Won’t Work

You can’t plant or use a Lotus if Modifiers turn off progress or if there are 9 players or more in the run. I check the Modifiers first, before I bring the petals to Grampy.

And be careful in The Archives. If you revive through a Lotus there, Ransom appears. You’ll get the badge, but you’ll have to face him right away.

How Rare Is It?

Based on how many players own it, Rebirth is a medium-rarity badge. I think not many players choose to die on purpose when they already have a Lotus in their pocket. They save it for an emergency.
