**Spoiler Alert**

As we have seen in Re:zero, Subaru wakes up in a certain palace after he dies,
which is a checkpoint. As the story progresses, we see the upgrade in
checkpoint as in normal games.

In most of the games, checkpoint is upgraded (in case of Auto) when you reach
certain places or after you've completed certain tasks. The gamer is notified
or knows when checkpoint is upgraded; it was not in Subaru's case.

The checkpoints are:

  1. In front of shopkeeper
  2. Bed, in the palace where Emilia lives
  3. The big tree, where they killed the white whale

The checkpoint is upgraded after the task has been completed. But that was not
the case, when Rem was saved from the dogs from the forest, it was a task that
has been completed but when Subaru returned from death, in the witch cult arc
the save point was in front of shopkeeper but not the palace's bed.

From this, a task is not the only thing that triggers the upgrade, but place
also plays a role. If that is the reason then the place where big tree is
around should have been the save place because Subaru passed that tree but did
not stop there.

From all the conditions, checkpoint upgrade not only depends on place and task
but other things also. These conditions are just the guess or conclusion
derived from above cases. And Subaru also doesn't know how upgrade works and
upgrade checkpoint manually, like going some place and doing some thing, e.g
talking with the shopkeeper.

How does the checkpoint get upgraded, and what are the conditions required for
upgrade?

How does the checkpoint get upgraded in Re:Zero?


It seems that in the first safe area after all dangerous events have passed
and subaru has no chance to be harmed it creates a save point, however it
doesn't update at every moment he is not in imminent danger.
