Event Guide
Most players open this page for one exact answer: Death Ritual is a critical event, so go there immediately and use Eyedrops, IV Drops, Coffee, or Taser before you resort to manual candle clearing. Manual candles can cost sanity, which is why item routing matters.
If your search was "how to stop death ritual in Animal Hospital," the answer is not to keep treating patients first. Break your route, enter the ritual room, clear the candles with a safe tool if possible, then restore sanity before returning to the normal loop.
Fast Answer
Stop Order
Manual Candles
Manual interaction can end the event, but it is the expensive version of the answer. If the room is already unstable, spending sanity on candles often creates the next mistake, so carry one ritual-safe utility before long shifts start stacking pressure.
Best Follow-Ups
Use the event page for the first move, failure state, and the exact tool shortlist.
Use this if you want the cleanest item answer that also stays useful outside the ritual.
Use this if you prefer carrying one support item that still pays off during normal treatment loops.
Use this if your Death Ritual plan depends on carrying Coffee without slowing the rest of the shift.
