Various class archetypes - a druid that autoressurects 1 day later at level 5 for example. There is a shenanigans item that I will look up shortly.
Contingency spell set to teleport the character away when in danger. Requires fine tuning triggering condition.
"Determination" armor ability. A flat 30k cost to have a Breath of Life spell once per day auto activate if you fall below 0 HP.
Well, perhaps this wont save you from death, but I see Aegis of Recovery as a cheap way to improve your chances at low levels. If you can cast some kind of evasion spell or similar, maybe its worth to take one of this.
You could always use binding (minimus containment) to stop your aging process and a combination of magic jar and Osirian spirit jars to "body hop" for all of eternity.
Something like my character, Hama, perhaps?
Alternatively, the entire party can benefit from scrolls of astral projection or lesser astral projection--allowing them to adventure with impunity as though they had save points.

Barring iGithyanki or anything else that can chomp through a silver cord that is.
What established monsters in Pathfinder can do that?

I think you need to go either 3rd party, or make your own. I was pretty sure an astral dreadnought style thing was floating around the bestiary 4, but I might've confused it with the tome of horrors.
oh my wow, i did not realize they never ported over something that can cut a cord?!?! I will look into astral adventuring right now
as soon as we touched the astral plane in 3.5 my DM started rolling weighted astral encounter percentiles...

Hey!
I'm one of 2 DM's for a campaign with 5 players. It's a very brutal campaign, and we show our rolls. Especially when a character's life is on the line.
I want the shops, NPC's and dungeons to occasionally offer up some artefact, spell or means to cheat death should it occur. These are what I know of:
1) Resurrection spell via item, scroll or spell.
2) A handwritten adventure, where the party goes to hell/heaven to get them back.
3) Becoming a Lich/Horcux. Restricted to evil players.
4) House rules, like using Soul Shifting.

What else exists in the rules to cheat death?
Astral Projection while sitting in a private demi-plane. Nothing published in Pathfinder can kill you and only a few effects (Trap the Soul) can capture you.
