In Life Is Strange: Double Exposure, players can explore Max’s new ability to switch between two parallel realities. The Dead World marks the scene of Safi’s murder, while the Living World is where she is still alive.
During your interaction with Safi in the Living World, you uncover that someone vandalized her vehicle by throwing a cow skull through the windshield. To investigate this incident, you’ll need to use Max’s powers to examine the specific skull and determine who might be responsible. This could either point you towards Safi’s murderer or lead you down a road of more mysteries.
How to Examine the Cow Skull
The cow skull that ended up in Safi’s windshield used to hang above the stage at the Snapping Turtle. Since you can’t reach it from the Living World, you need to shift to the Dead World to check it out.
To do this, utilize the shift point near the bathrooms, transport yourself to the Dead World, and head to the stage. Look up at the skull and select the option to inspect it.
Max will express her frustration about being too short and mention seeing a stepladder somewhere. You’ll find the stepladder near the Christmas tree in the Living World. Return there and grab it.
While you’re in the Living World, you can also take the opportunity to listen in on the conversations of some kids outside. Go out onto the patio in the Dead World and activate Pulse to hear that the kids are holding the bathroom key as part of a prank. If you retrieve the key from the Dead World and hang it on the hook in the Living World, it will allow a timid character who’s sitting by the tree to finally use the restroom.
Once you have the stepladder, go back to the Dead World and return to the skull. Max will use the stepladder to reach it, letting you inspect it closely.
As you rotate the skull, look for markings on the back of one of the horns. You’ll find out that the skull bears the signature of Lucas Colmenero, the head of the Literature Department at Caledon.
After you’ve finished your investigation of the skull, make your way back to the Living World to inquire with Amanda about it.
