The Morgue Guide
Autopsies
Autopsies are likely one of the least known regions of the game.
Utilize the Autopsy Table from the Morgue to eliminate Boby Parts from Corpses. Each Body Part has another effect on the Red and White Skulls the Body comes with and can be used later for crafting and finishing quests.
The number of both Red and White Skulls and the Corpse Decay using ascertain the Corpse Rating rating, which will impact the Graveyard Rating after buried.
Finest Corpse Rating I have seen in the full launch is 12.
White Skulls will raise the Graveyard Rating by 1.
Red & Green Skulls will reduce the Graveyard Rating by 1.
The maximum Gaveyard Rating a Corpse could have when buried is equal to the number of White Skulls it has with a single exception. If a Corpse has no Red Skulls it’ll obviously get a +1 Graveyard Rating when buried.
Effects of removing each body part
- Flesh = Removes 1 Skull, starting with a Red Skull.
- Blood = Removes 1 Red Skull and adds 1 White Skull.
- Fat = Removes 1 Red Skull and adds 1 White Skull.
- Bone = Has no effect on either Red or White skulls. (Bug?)
- Skin = Removes 1 White Skull and adds 1 Red Skull.
- Skull = Adds 1 Red Skull.
The Brain, Heart and Intestine can remove up to 4 Skulls
- -3 Red & -1 White
- -1 Red & -3 White
- -2 Red & -2 White
- -1 Red & -1 White
- -2 Red or -2 White
- -1 Red or -1 White
The effects of removing the Brain, Heart and Intestine are selecdted randomly when the corpse is created by the match. Ideally you’re looking for one of these to eliminate 2 Red skulls, but this may not always be possible.
One strategy would be to maneuver and save the game prior to butchering a corpse, so that you may reload the match should mistakes be made.
A Good strategy after you have just opened the Church would be to only get rid of the blood and fat, bury the corpse and dig it up later when you have the Surgeon skill unlocked.
Corpse Decay
After a Corpse gets dropped off by the Donkey, it is Decay Rating will probably be at about 99%. Should the Corpse be abandoned and the Decay Rating drops to 90 percent it will gain 1 Green Decay Skull.
A Corpse left exterior will Decay quicker than one left within the Morgue, a Corpse left within the Morgue will rust quicker than just one left on a Morgue Slab.
After you’ve opened the Church it is possible to manage when the Donkey attracts a Corpse employing the Box of Carrots. Putting 10 Carrots from the Box will get you 2 Corpses.

Any 5 White corpses with over 4 Red and you’re going to want to start removing organs. You are able to conserve scum and determine exactly what each will give or you’ll be able to find the Cultist Perk to find out what they will give.
Iirc you receive the Cultist Perk if your relationship with the Inquisitor hits 75% (or completing the Snake quest line… can not remember which).
You will have to start using 6 white Skulls to get a 12+1 (13) Graveyard Rating.
You will need 1 Red skull to utilize a Silver injection and two Red Skulls to utilize a Gold, or they don’t get the job done.
Gold is pretty rare so I’d save those injects for a corpse it’s possible to make great with 12 White Skulls.
