Dead Cells is a 2D roguelike with metroidvania elements developed by Motion Twin. It was released for open beta on May 10, 2017 on Steam's Early Access, GOG on November 13th, 2017, and was formally released on August 7, 2018.In the game, you control an amorphous creature that possesses a decapitated body in a dark, dank corner of a forsaken island prison. Questions like "what are you", "how did this great castle come to ruin", and "who are all these other people" are all important questions that are answered through the scenery and various notes should you choose to look for them as you race down the shifting pathways of the fortress, slaying your enemies and exploring new areas.Combat is extremely fast-paced and frenetic, taking place in sprawling randomized zones. The game features numerous weapons and bits of gear to unlock, each providing a new way to play and adding items to the potential drop pool. Most weapons and gear require Cells from defeated enemies to drop, which can be given to an NPC between zones to permanently unlock. The combat has many small facets and nuances, but chief among all is a small speed buff you get from killing enemies that stacks, allowing you to blitz through the level at high speeds if you can keep your kill chain going. A free DLC, "Rise of the Giant" was released on 2019 March 28 for PC and May 23 for consoles, adding one new biome, the Cavern, one new boss, the Giant, as an alternative to the Time Keeper, a Five boss cells mode, the Astrolab, a new level after beating the Hand of the King, and the True Final Boss the Alchemist. A second DLC (paid this time), "The Bad Seed", was released the February 11, 2020, adding two new biomes (the Dilapidated Arbotoreum and the Morass of the Banished) and Mama Tick as a new boss as an alternative after the Prisoners' Quarters. A third DLC (second paid), "Fatal Falls", released the 26 January 2021, adding two new biomes (Fractured Shrines and Undying Shores) and one boss (The Scarecrow) as an alternative path after beating the first boss. A fourth DLC (third paid), "The Queen and The Sea", was released the 6 January 2022. It adds two new alternate end game Biomes (Infested Shipwreck and the Lighthouse, which replace High Peek Castle and Throne Room), and a new Final Boss, The Queen. A fifth DLC, "Return to Castlevania", was announced on December 8, 2022 during the 2022 Game Awards. As the name implies, this DLC will be a massive crossover with Konami's Castlevania series. In it the Beheaded teams up with Richter Belmont and Alucard to battle hordes of monsters wielding iconic weapons from the Castlevania series to reach the throne room of the Dark Lord himself. It released on March 6, 2023, featuring two new biomes (Dracula's Castle outskirts, and the interior of the castle itself), with the castle outskirts accessible after you speak to Richter in a new alternate path out of the Prisoner's Quarters.In June, 2023, it was announced that Dead Cells The Animated Series was being created by Bobbypills, the French studio behind the animated trailers for game. | |

Ante Piece: In order to reach the first new biome in the Bad Seed DLC, the Beheaded has to jump on top of carnivorous plants to make them snap shut, so he can use them as a bouncing platform. These are littered across the new area as well. Likewise before facing off against the DLC boss The Scarecrow, the Beheaded has to bounce on some giant mushrooms, a game mechanic not seen before facing off against him. | |

Heroic Mime: An interesting example. When examining objects, The Beheaded describes what he sees and gives his comments on them. When communicating with others, however, he never speaks, instead communicating only with gestures. He's surprisingly emotive. This implies that The Beheaded cannot speak, and what you read when examining objects are his thoughts rather than his words. | |

Early Game Hell | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: In higher difficulties (indicated by how many Boss Source Cells you implement), The Prisoner's Cells can be this, with the heavy amount of damage done by enemies, the inclusion of Inquistors, and later Rampagers and Failed Experimentsnote Higher difficulties will put enemies seen late in runs in earlier sections, as well as new enemies that only appear on certain difficulty levels, and a potentially weak loadout. The 1.5 update introduces the Recycling Tubes upgrade, however, which gives you a choice of four sets of items to start with, each including a melee weapon, ranged weapon, a shield, and two abilities. This greatly increases the chance that you'll start with something useful. | |

Chaos Architecture | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_1527e9ae | comment |
Chaos Architecture: As is common to Rogue Like games, the strange castle and environs the player fights through all are in the same places relative to each other and have consistent themes, but the exact interior arrangement of them changes with every new death the player undergoes. In a meta sense it's even stranger when you download the Return to Castlevania DLC. The trope namer bleeds into the castle of Dead Cells, despite being in a different part of the world. | |

Logical Extreme | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_1af31988 | comment |
Taken to its logical extreme with The King, as not only does he not appear at all until the end of the game, he offers no resistance whatsoever, even after you kill his bodyguard and destroy the force field that protects him. The reason for this is simple; he is merely the King's body, while the protagonist is the king's head/sentience. | |

The Ghost: The royal alchemist. His notes can be found in every level, telling of his attempts at understanding and then cure the Malaise, but he's nowhere to be seen. He's heavily implied to be the Collector, though you don't find this out until very late in the game. | |

Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_1ebbdddb | comment |
Power at a Price: Cursed treasure chests. They give a high tier weapon, a lot of money, and a Power Scroll to upgrade one of your three stats, but they inflict the cursed status aliment. This curse can be lifted by killing ten enemies, but until then, any hit at all will be fatal. Some of the possible weapon mods. One doubles damage and another restores health with every hit, but they both greatly increase damage taken. | |

Crapsack World | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The first half of the game takes place in and around a huge prison complex, where the king sent everyone suspected of infection. The guards were implied to have cruelly tortured and executed prisoners for fun, and the king eventually forbade them from allowing anyone to leave even if they'd served their time. Despite the prison, almost every last person on the island was eventually killed by the Malaise and/or the undead. In the secret ending, the Collector finally creates a cure for the disease, only for the Beheaded to kill him and take it for himself. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Why is there a corpse of a dead giant in your cell at the start? "The Giant" as he was known while alive, was the general of the kingdom's army, once the paranoia of the King led him to believe a coup against him was brewing, he had the Giant executed. Once you destroy the body of the King however, the Giant will get up and leave the cell and you can later find him and fight him. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The Infantry Grenade is a grenade that deals light damage to enemies but is very quick to use, with a 4 second cooldown. While its damage isn't super great, it's still enough to take a good chunk of health from most enemies and becomes even deadlier with cooldown reducing mutations. It's not very good against bosses however. The Wolf Trap is essentially a deployable bear trap, which prevents an enemy from moving for a while once it's stepped on. Its damage isn't too great, but keeping an enemy from moving, even if only for a fraction of a second, can be incredibly helpful, as it gives you time to reposition yourself to attack better or dodge incoming attacks. It works very well on bosses, especially ones that are incredibly agile or like to stay very close to you. Cutting their mobility with a Wolf Trap gives you much more room to maneuver. The Multiple-nocks Bow is a bow that fires 3 arrows at a time. While it has no other gimmick, it has above average DPS that doesn't rely on crits, and if you defeat an enemy with 1 or 2 arrows, the remaining arrows will keep travelling and damage other enemies. The Double Crossb-o-matic is a deployable turret that can attack two enemies at once. While its DPS isn't too great, its multiple targeting is invaluable when fighting multiple enemies, especially with an affix that lets it pierce enemies. The oil grenade covers a large area with oil. Doesn't sound too glamorous, but its area of effect is huge, much bigger than what the explosion visual suggests, and oil is used in a number of beneficial interactions. It, of course, makes the burn status effect stronger, but a number of weapons will also crit on enemies covered in oil, and there is an affix that increases damage on oiled enemies as well. The Oiled sword is rather simple in its effect of doing critical hits during the ten seconds following striking a burning target, but even without the criticals, it still has very respectable damage and swing speed, meaning that you could end up using it even without burning your opponents. The Bow and Bottomless Quiver can be this. Sure it might have less DPS than whatever you're carrying or eyeing in the shop, but the fact that you don't have to engage the enemy physically is a HUGE plus. | |

Ability Required to Proceed: You will run into paths where you're unable to get any further without a particular rune to help you along. The only one that's strictly mandatory is the Vine Rune, which is required to access the second half of the Promenade of the Condemned, and thus the rest of the game after that point. | |

Downplayed with the Throwing Knives which resemble kunai and can be tossed much more rapidly than arrows can be fired. Individually they do little direct damage, but often cause bleeding in targets, making them suitable for throw-and-run tactics. And if you find two Throwing Knives with affixes complimenting each other (Creates a trail of fire behind the projectile + 100% Damage Bonus to Poisoned enemies, Projectile bursts into a cloud of poison + 100% Damage Bonus on burning enemies), just mash both Weapon buttons together for a Knife Machinegun. | |

Long-Range Fighter: All of the ranged weapons make the player this to some extent, but a special mention is reserved for the Hunter's Longbow, which deals critical hits on long-range shots. Its slow draw speed makes it terrible in close combat, though. One of the Tactics mutations that's available by default, Tranquility, grants a damage bonus if there are no enemies nearby. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: The ability to use two items of the same kind was disabled in Normal Mode relatively early in the game's lifespan to help remedy Complacent Gaming Syndrome. It can still be re-enabled in Custom Mode. It's generally acknowledged as a moderate Game-Breaker, since any build that synergizes with one instance of a weapon or skill will synergize with both. | |

Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Shields negate incoming damage if blocks are timed properly; unfortunately, this works for both the player and the enemies. Just having a shield equipped will also give the player some damage reduction. Shields no longer give passive damage reduction, but they do return enemy attacks back at them, making them an Attack Reflector. | |

Money for Nothing: Oddly enforced on the highest difficulty. At 5BSC, you don't get to spend the Cells you've collected. The Collector is gone and he steals all your Cells before his boss fight, and unless you for some reason decide to end your run early after killing the Hand of the King, you don't get the carry them to your next run. This was addressed in a later update where the Collector's Intern takes over his functions in his absence. | |

Purposefully Overpowered: Aspects were added in Version 2.5, which lets you equip one very overpowered passive effect, ranging from reversed poison damage, doubled damage dealt/taken while cursed, extremely low deployable cooldowns, and instant kill out of invisibility. Using an Aspect prevents you from unlocking Boss Cells and achievements for no-hitting bosses. | |

Bragging Rights Reward | |

Bragging Rights Reward: The Symmetrical Spear dropped by the Hand of the King the first time you defeat him has two affixes that appear on no other weapon: "Can break shields!" and "+300% damage to all enemies!". Of course, there are no enemies left to kill at this point, and the only option is to start a new run which causes you to lose the spear. There is, however, one exception. After you've beaten the game with five boss cells the first time, the Hand of the King will drop this again, which you must use to break the shield on the King. This time around, you can take the weapon to the Astrolab and fight the True Final Boss with it. | |

Genius Loci: Heavily implied with the Slumbering Sanctuary.

One of the loading screen quotes straight up says that the villagers claimed this place is alive, and then ironically dismisses it. | |

Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_59da9841 | comment |
Skill Gate Characters: The Electric Whip automatically targets enemies on different levels than you, and ignore the shieldbearer enemy's shield. And... that's pretty much it. Its damage output is very low, its range isn't that big, and just about every other weapon in the game has something that makes it a better pick once you know how to properly play the game. It's one saving grace is its ability to electrocute enemies standing in water or poison, but even that is dependant on biomes and not all that common in the first place. | |

Contractual Boss Immunity: The bosses are immune to the stunlock effect of the various kicking weapons, so as to make beating them an actual challenge.

Nintendo Hard: The game is a classic Metroidvania, which guarantees lots of opportunities for mistakes to be punished even at the lowest level of difficulty. Every boss cell added adjusts the population of each biome to include deadlier enemies, scales enemies up to higher and higher levels (while leaving player equipment unmodified unless cells are spent to upgrade the Cell Forge), and reduces opportunities for healing in between levels. | |

You Will Not Evade Me: Corpse Worms found in the Sewers and Weaver Worms found in the Stilt Village will magically teleport to the player if they cannot otherwise access them. The same is true of the Elite monsters once enough of their health has been depleted. Phasers and Trackers will teleport to the player if they've seen them. Catchers use a grapple hook to reel in far-away players. The player can obtain their hook as well. Finally, Castle's Guardian Knights can create whirlwinds that pull in an unfortunate player. You can get that too. And Golems will teleport you to them with their laser ability. The Wrenching Whip also does this, albeit to a lesser degree. The Time Keeper will attempt to pull you in with a chain blade if you get too far away. If you get to four Boss Cells, every enemy teleports to the player if you attempt to run away. | |

Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_6ac6a56a | comment |
And Your Reward Is Clothes: As of the 1.2 update, there are numerous outfits to be collected. Most are palette swaps, but some actually change the Beheaded's clothes, and in the case of the Time Keeper's outfits, their gender (or at least the gender of the body they're using). 2.6 adds Flawless, pure gold versions of boss outfits for killing them with no hits taken. | |

Underground Monkey | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_6e7a3cd | comment |
Underground Monkey: There are a couple different kinds of bats that all work pretty much the same. Return to Castlevania has a few more of these; the Armor Knight and Dire Werewolf are the Lancer and Rampager enemies in all but name and look, while the Werewolf is a less aggressive version of the Rampager. Notably, you can run into these enemies much earlier than you would the originals. The Lancer is a late-game enemy, but Armor Knights can appear in the Castle Outskirts, which would be your second level, while Rampagers only appear with three boss cells, but Dire Werewolves can appear with one. | |

Cosmetic Award: You can get blueprints that unlock custom outfits for the Prisoner from all of the enemies and even bosses.

Guide Dang It! | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Obtaining the Explosive Crossbow schematic. It's hidden behind three locked doors in the Promenade of the Condemned, which require one Gardener's Key each to open. The first two keys are behind areas that are signposted pretty obviously with "rune-required-to-progress-here" landmarks. The third? Stomp a potted rose three times. The rose looks like just another random background element and it always spawns uphill in an area that rarely has enemies, so it's very unlikely that a player would find it by playing normally. At least the rose responds when it's stomped on, so a random or accidental stomp might reveal that it's important. The Acceptance schematic is even tougher, by proxy of requiring the three Gardener's Keys. To obtain it, obtain all three Gardener's Keys, then go to the Ramparts, Graveyard, and Forgotten Sepulcher, all of which have one hidden Moonflower key locked behind doors that require one Gardener's each. On a normal run, however, one cannot access the Graveyard from the Ramparts — you need to inject three Boss Stem Cells to access the alternate path. | |

Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_710bd545 | comment |
And then there's the true true ending, obtainable by defeating the Collector once, then going through the game and possessing the King's body before entering the Astrolab, which manages to be both this and a Mind Screwdriver. The Beheaded finally remembers their past: They are in the fact the King's mind, separated from his body (which explains why the King makes no struggle whenever the Beheaded "kills" him). The King returns to his body and confronts and defeats the Collector once again. Afterwards, the King returns to his throne, convinced that his journey is finally over… only for a new, "glitched" Beheaded to suddenly appear before him. The two prepare to square off, with the game cutting to credits just as the two engage. | |

Gainax Ending | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: The default ending. After slaying the Hand of the King, The Beheaded takes his weapon and uses it to break the barrier protecting the king, who's in a vegetative state. He then impales the king, causing him to levitate in the air and explode, destroying The Beheaded's body. And then...nothing. The Beheaded crawls out of the rubble without his body and uses a fountain's plumbing to return to the beginning of the game, where nothing has changed despite the death of the king. Even The Beheaded has no idea what's going on. The true ending isn't much better. After you defeat the Hand of the King with five boss stem cells active, the Beheaded uncovers the Collector's hidden Astrolab, where the Collector reveals that he has been using all the Cells the Beheaded has been bringing him to create a Panacea to cure the Malaise. After sampling the Panacea for himself and subsequently mutating, the Collector suddenly turns on the Beheaded, determined to keep the loop of the Beheaded dying and collecting Cells going on indefinitely. The Beheaded defeats the Collector and the Panacea causes his body to evaporate...but his main cell body remains. At the start of your next run, the Beheaded is suddenly confronted by the Time Keeper, who angrily tells him that his actions have caused the infection to spread further than before. She tries to reset the loop, but something goes wrong, and the new state of the island becomes "glitched", with the Tutorial Knight suddenly alive again and repeating her introduction speech ad nauseum. And then there's the true true ending, obtainable by defeating the Collector once, then going through the game and possessing the King's body before entering the Astrolab, which manages to be both this and a Mind Screwdriver. The Beheaded finally remembers their past: They are in the fact the King's mind, separated from his body (which explains why the King makes no struggle whenever the Beheaded "kills" him). The King returns to his body and confronts and defeats the Collector once again. Afterwards, the King returns to his throne, convinced that his journey is finally over… only for a new, "glitched" Beheaded to suddenly appear before him. The two prepare to square off, with the game cutting to credits just as the two engage. The alternate ending added in the Queen and the Sea DLC carries on the tradition. After the Beheaded kills the Queen and lights the beacon, a ship on the horizon approaches. It seems that the Beheaded finally has a ride off the island, only to reveal that the ship is crewed entirely by skeleton sailors. Roll credits. | |

The "Enter the Panchaku" update adds, well, frying pan nunchuks (called panchaku), two frying pans 'o doom tied together at the handle. | |

Hard Mode Perks: The Hand of the King drops Boss Cells upon death. Inject them, and the game will become harder but will also provide bonuses; most notably increasing the level of the Legendary Forge, which makes a portion (or all) of items spawn with a certain quality. On 4 and 5 Boss Cells, every item will be S-rank if you sink enough cells into it. More Boss Cells will also unlock doors in the levels with various bonuses behind them, such as shops, cell containers, chests, and alternate exits. The new enemies that only appear on higher difficulties also carry their own blueprints, some of which are for very handy weapons, secondary skills or perks. | |

Hard Mode Mooks: To help make the higher difficulties mechanically more difficult (as opposed to just bumping up enemy health and damage and removing free inter-level healing), the game introduces new enemies to upgrade, replace or support enemies from the earlier difficulties: Boss Cell 1: Archers (single horizontal shot, slow movement) get replaced with Knife Throwers (invisibility, fast movement, throw a set of 3 projectiles), or later on Demolishers, who trade the bow for a medieval rocket launcher. Boss Cell 2: Shieldbearers (slow movement, long attack endlag) get replaced with Oven Knights that have a fragile front-shield but, when it is destroyed, go berserk and gain a two-hit combo Boss Cell 3: The basic zombie enemy (single melee strike) is partially replaced by Rampagers, who rush forward and slash four times, and can pursue the player endlessly. Boss Cell 4: The basic zombie enemy is further replaced by Failed Experiment, a giant with a wickedly fast jab and an evasive dodgemove. | |

He was replaced when the Hand of the King was added to the game with a "Coming Soon" sign and a pipe to travel back. He gets re-added years later in The Queen and the Sea DLC, who guides you to the new area. | |

Inquisitor (single projectile) enemies can have an unlimited number attacking you, but their upgraded form, the Arbiter, has a Spread Shot. To avoid them clogging the screen with too many projectiles, only one Arbiter can attack the player at a time. | |

However, something goes very wrong this time around. When you return, the Tutorial Knight is alive again, but heavily glitched and repeating her opening speech ad nauseam, and certain parts of the game are glitched as well. The King even returns to life, allowing you to possess his body. | |

Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_9af10b44 | comment |
Double Jump: The player has this ability by default. Equippable amulets can boost this further to even a triple or quadruple jump. However, the maximum height of each subsequent jump quickly diminishes after the first, so this is less useful for scaling and more useful for controlled placement. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: The Broadsword. It hits hard and feels awesome to use, but it swings incredibly slow compared to other melee weapons and has bad range for its speed. Using it requires a lot of thinking on whether or not it's safe to commit to an attack. With the update allowing to keep the combo in-between evasive rolls has made it slightly easier to manage. The Cursed Sword has the highest DPS value in the game. The catch is that the Beheaded is permanently inflicted with curse while carrying it, so every single attack in the game is lethal. note YES ALSO IF IT IS IN YOUR BACKPACK Similarly, the "Deal and receive 2x damage" item modifier, and its close relative, "Restore 1% health on hit but take 2x damage". Taken even further with the rarer "deal +300% damage, take +300%". There's also the Frantic Sword, which always deals Critical Hits while you're under 50% health. Valmont's Whip in its first iteration, which dealt obscenely powerful crits on enemies that were right at the end of the whip's hitbox. This was easier said than done. Parrying requires good reflexes, proper spacing and timing, knowledge of every enemy's individual attack windows, and is extremely punishable when done wrong; however, mastering it allows you to interrupt almost every attack, reflect projectiles (including bombs) back at enemies, heal yourself on the go (with right mutation) and obtain ridiculous post-parry buffs like 300% damage or 3-second invincibility. Mastered parry skills combined with properly picked shields can break some bosses in half. The Great Owl of War is a powerful skill that summons an owl that attacks any nearby enemies automatically, and can be enraged to do even more damage. When you have two of them and synergize them with good affixes, they can do incredible amounts of damage. However, if you get hit, they vanish and you can't summon them again for a very long time. They're a powerful skill, but they require you to avoid getting hit to get the full benefit of their power. The Claw-Scythe. A very powerful Survival weapon that can easily do two millions of damage by the later levels with critical hits and has a great range. The catch? Each hit has a wind-up during which you're vulnerable, and equipping it takes your two weapon slots, so you can not get a shield or bow at all. After "The Update of plenty", this also applies to all crossbows, who have become two-handed weapons. They deal a lot of damage, but leave you utterly defensless (save for your dodge). Flawless is a spear weapon that, as the name suggests, rewards playing perfectly, by dealing critical hits as long as you haven't taken damage in the last 15 seconds. The moment you do, its damage plummets to one of the worst weapons in the game. The Acrobatipack mutation makes it so that rolling and then making a ranged attack within a few seconds will fire a ranged weapon stored in the player's backpack (with reduced damaged and a lesser penalty for a high Tactics stat), with a limit on how frequently it can trigger. While this seems narrow, combining it with certain weapons (for example, a crossbow with Fire Breath in the backpack) can produce staggering DPS every few seconds. | |

Kill It with Fire | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_9c1f758a | comment |
Kill It with Fire: "Fire" is a damage type, often part of a Damage Over Time burning effect. Some enemies take extra damage from this, some randomly generated weapon and skill attributes do extra damage to burning foes, and sometimes an "oil" effect can be added which magnifies fire damage. Firebrands, an equippable ranged weapon, which drops flaming embers on the ground in a short arc in front of the player. Incendiary Grenades, a skill the player can use, which throws a grenade that bursts into flame. | |

Foreshadowing: A retroactive example happened after Rise of the Giant was released. The music for High Peak Castle, the King's home and the final level, is a remix of the music for Prisoner's Quarters, the first level and the place where the Beheaded always starts his runs. The Giant reveals, and is later confirmed through certain runs, that the Beheaded is the King. | |

Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_9d723582 | comment |
Survival weapons include all shields, in addition to denoting anything that swings slow, but hits hard. This also applies to their Skills, in addition to including any Skill that heals the user. Survival mutations revolve around either parrying with a shield or passive improvement of survivability. Examples include the Cudgel, the Broad Sword, and Vampirism. Survival gives the highest HP bonus on level up. | |

Elite Mooks: Monsters can appear in special rooms as "Elite" versions of themselves, with greatly increased abilities, health and damage. They drop a weapon or skill upon defeat. A few can be found in special rooms that disappear once they're beaten: an Undead Archer in the Promenade of the Condemned, a Slasher in the Toxic Sewers and later in the Ossuary, an Orb Caster in the Slumbering Sanctuary, and two Trackers in the Forgotten Sepulchre. The former four drop the Vine, Teleportation, Belier and Spider Runes respectively, while the latter must be defeated to access the Hayabusa Boots. | |

Chest Monster | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_a51467fe | comment |
Chest Monster: These appear in the Bank in the guise of merchants. They behave as normal until you buy an item, at which point they reveal their true nature and devour the item you just bought. Defeat them, and you'll get either twice as many items as you would have gotten (if food), or an item two levels higher than what you bought (if a weapon or skill). Only one merchant per visit there is actually a Mimic, and it is random which one. In another variation some treasure chests will, rather than spawning an item instead unleash a dozens of bats and/or basic zombies when opened. These chests can appear in any biome, but are extrememy rare. | |

Orcus on His Throne | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_add14bc2 | comment |
Orcus on His Throne: Taken to its logical extreme with The King, as not only does he not appear at all until the end of the game, he offers no resistance whatsoever, even after you kill his bodyguard and destroy the force field that protects him. The reason for this is simple; he is merely the King's body, while the protagonist is the king's head/sentience. Zigzagged with Dracula. If you take the normal route to Dracula's Castle, he's content to sit on his throne and doesn't do anything to stop you because he knows Death will take care of that. If you take the alternate path to Dracula's Castle, however, he doesn't wait for you to come to him and actively harasses you throughout the biome by buffing enemies, summoning bats, vertically flipping the screen, or just outright attacking you with fireballs. | |

Story Breadcrumbs | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_afbf2c80 | comment |
Story Breadcrumbs: Nobody ever really outright explains everything, but there's a lot of lore to piece together from special rooms in the different areas. The lore seems to be that a deadly plague known as "the malaise" formed in The Sewers from dead bodies disposed there, eventually contaminating the waters surrounding the populated port residence of the Stilt Village. Here, the outbreak exploded, between the village's large population and the popularity of fishing as a pastime, and to deal with this, the king ordered anyone suspected of being afflicted to be sent to the prisons as quarantine. Despite this and a focused effort to find a cure, even High Peak Castle fell to the disease, leaving few survivors, and even fewer who haven't been driven mad by its effects. | |

The player can also eventually get a rune that allows them to run up walls. The third boss, the Time Keeper, if only because of the shurikens she throws. | |

Continuing is Painful: Part and parcel of the game. If you die, you lose everything you had on you, and go all the way back to the beginning of the game. It can be slightly alleviated with upgrades that let you retain some of the money you had, but you'll never keep very much. | |

For Doom the Bell Tolls | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_c4286511 | comment |
For Doom the Bell Tolls: In the Clock Tower, there are four massive bells as part of the ominous landscape. They can be hit to make a sound, and will often be struck accidentally during combat. If you strike them in order from lowest to highest pitch, you get a key to find a hidden item. | |

Three-Stat System | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_c71f715c | comment |
Three-Stat System: The items and mutations of Dead Cells scale with three different stats: Brutality, Tactics, and Survival. Some items scale with two stats (using the larger of the two for damage calculation), and all items can drop as alternate Colorless and Legendary tiers (the former scales with whichever stat is the highest, and the latter with the combined sum of your two highest stats). Brutality weapons tend to be close-range weapons with above-average DPS, while Brutality skills are either short-ranged grenades or items to promote moving into close range. Brutality mutations tend to incentivize melee combat. Examples include the Assassin's Dagger, Oil Grenade, and Phaser. Tactics weapons allow for attacking at a distance up to mid range (and, infrequently, long range), and Tactics skills include all types of turrets and some powerful, but mildly unconventional spells. Tactics mutations prioritize ranged combat. Examples include the Bow and Endless Quiver, the Double Crossb-o-matic, and the Death Orb. Tactics gives the lowest HP bonus on level up. Survival weapons include all shields, in addition to denoting anything that swings slow, but hits hard. This also applies to their Skills, in addition to including any Skill that heals the user. Survival mutations revolve around either parrying with a shield or passive improvement of survivability. Examples include the Cudgel, the Broad Sword, and Vampirism. Survival gives the highest HP bonus on level up. | |

Shout-Out | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The item description for the Spartan Soles, a weapon that allows for kicking, quips that "THIS. IS. DEAD CELLS!" The description for the Amethyst reads, "A pretty stone that will fetch you $500! My precccioussss..." One achievement is named "The mud is getting warm, so you might as well swim." From the options menu, "Castlevaniesque" is one of the dietary options. In some secret areas you can find an unlucky adventurer lying dead next to a "campfire" with a sword thrust into the ground, with the words "GIT GUD" written on the wall behind it. You can crouch down beside the fire and rest, which spawns an enemy nearby holding several cells. A rare modifier for Amulets enables "Super Mario Mode", where jumping on enemies temporarily stuns them. Unlocking the Ancient Sewers and visiting them for the first time nets you the "Who needs an Italian Plumber?" achievement There exists an item known as Hokuto's Bow, and its description is "You don't know it yet, but you're already dead." In other words, it's the Bow of the North Star. The Grappling hook skill has its description being an explicit "Just like Scropion in Mortal Kombat". In the High Peak Castle, you may find portraits of a rather peculiar bug, as well as a pair of blindfolded androids, a particular weapon, a hamlet. Solaire also shows up on the portraits sometimes. The Weapon shop has the Buster Sword, the Transistor Sword, and a poster advertising Plasma Cutters in the background. Sadly, none of them are available. An update released around the time of Half-Life: Alyx release saw the crowbar and HEV suit added as a weapon and skin respectively, found in an area where someone was attacked by a headcrab. The Boy's Axe is clearly modeled after the Leviathan Axe in both appearance and function, with its name being a reference to that game's infamous meme. The November 22, 2021 free update is called "Everyone is Here". This update incorporates weapons, armor, lore rooms, and other references to a whole host of other games, including (but not limited to) Hollow Knight, Blasphemous, Hyper Light Drifter, Shovel Knight, Skul: The Hero Slayer, Curse of the Dead Gods, and many others. The Derelict Distillery is a dead ringer for 25M, the first stage of Donkey Kong, with slopes going back and forth in a vertical direction, and you having to dodge barrels. Though the springsnote explosives are from 50M. Even before the DLC, there were already a ton of references to Castlevania, including the Valmont's Whip weapon, the The Death Orb skill (which closely resembles the Malachi’s attack from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night), and the entire design of the Clock Tower and Castle biomes. The Return to Castlevania DLC adds the whip, the Vampire Killer, which ignores shields and deals critical hits to burning enemies. If you acquire the Valmont's Whip while wearing any of the Belmont costumes from the Castlevania DLC, it turns into the chain whip from the series.You can also input the Konami Code during gameplay to unlock the Morning Star weapon | |

Falling Damage | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_c9cab11 | comment |
Falling Damage: Downplayed with the player character; falling a fair distance doesn't hurt the Beheaded, but they do become stunned for a few moments. Slamming into the ground doesn't have this consequence, though, unless you do it from an extremely high distance, such as the long shaft leading from the Ramparts to the Black Bridge. Exaggerated with enemies, who are very allergic to drops that wouldn't even stun the player. | |

Killed Off for Real: Most of the characters and bosses in this game do not stay dead because the Time Keeper keeps rewinding time with every run. However, there are two notable exceptions: the Tutorial Knight at the beginning of the game, and the King himself. However, they both come back after you kill the Collector. Sort of. | |

BonusLevel | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_d2ea3e4a | comment |
Bonus Level The Caverns, accessible in The Graveyard after beating the game for the first time. The Prison Depths and Corrupted Prison both act as this, being placed in between the second and third levels of each run. They have a cursed chest at the start and are much shorter than the other levels. The Break The Bank update offers the player the ability to replace one biome per run with the special Bank biome, which features an expansive layout, unique enemies, and a lot of opportunities to both gather and spend gold. It can also be a Brutal Bonus Level given the difficulty of those enemies. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: If you use a melee attack and are not holding a directional button, the game will turn you around to hit an enemy if you're not facing them already. Enemies can sometimes drop Scrolls of Power. These enemies are denoted by a unique icon that appears over their head, so you can identify which enemies hold Scrolls before you engage them. Elite Mooks have a unique teleportation ability that they use so that you can't just cheese them by sniping them using projectiles. However, it'll only kick in once you deplete enough of their health, though, so you can still pick and choose your fights. This even extends to enemies who have this ability by default, such as Phazers and Worms. No longer the case once you start putting in Boss Cells; the Elite enemies start teleporting the moment you hit them. There are three main stats: Brutality, Tactics, and Survival (Red, Purple, and Green respectively). Items on the ground have colored auras corresponding to which stats they benefit from. Certain doors will lock if they're not opened before a specific time, measured by the run timer in the bottom right. Said timer will pause in treasure rooms and in shops, so you're allowed a few moments to take a breather and judge if you should pick up the new equipment. As of Pimp My Run, the timer doors have been moved into the rest area, so they can't be missed if the player is scraping in under the limit and can't find the door in the next stage's first few seconds. If an enemy is killed by fall damage, any loot they drop spawns at the top of the ledge so you don't need to dive after them to pick it up. Upgrades in the Dead Cell shop can be paid incrementally, allowing you to chip away at expensive powerups even though Cells are lost on death. The 1.5 update adds the Explorer's Rune. Once you have it, the entire map, as well as the locations of all items and enemies, is unlocked when you've explored 80% of the area, making it ideal for finding scrolls you may have missed or hidden items. Also included in the 1.5 update is the Recycling Tubes upgrade. Once it's activated, rather than a single melee weapon, ranged weapon, and a shield, you have your choice of four sets of items containing a melee weapon, ranged weapon, shield, and two abilities, dramatically increasing the chances that you'll start with something useful. Once you unlock a route, it stays unlocked in later playthroughs. The Hunter's Grenade always spawns in a specific part of Prisoners' Quarters once unlocked and can be used to force enemies to drop their blueprints, although you can only get a single one per run and if the enemy has multiple blueprints, you can't choose which one gets dropped. | |

Victor Gains Loser's Powers: Beating the Hand of the King for the first time will unlock the Symmetrical Lance, a large weapon which resembles the Hand's own oversized one. The Who's The Boss? update adds weapons based on each of the game's bosses, which you gain upon beating them for the first time. The Concierge drops the Flint, a chargeable weapon that deals a critical hit and replicates the Concierges shockwave attack at full charge. Conjunctivius drops the Tentacle, a... tentacle that can drag you towards walls and enemies and deals a critical hit if you attack again. The Time Keeper drops Light Speed, a skill that allows you to dash forward and back, damaging all enemies on the way. The Giant drops the Giant Whistle, a skill that summons the Giant's fist to deal massive damage to the most dangerous enemy on screen, based on a number of factors like if the enemy is an elite or not, their health, or if they detected the player. The Hand of the King drops Telluric Shock, a skill that lets you jump in the air and slam down to damage all enemies with rocky spikes, as well as the Symmetrical Lance, which can hit enemies both in front of and behind you. The 5BC secret boss The Collector drops the Collector's Syringe, which lets you spin around, damaging all enemies in your path. Uniquely, you can spend Cells to extend its duration. Mama Tick gives the Left and Right Claw Scythes, a weapon that uses both weapons slots, and has two different attacks, doing critical hits if they are used one after the other. The Scarecrow gives you Scarecrow's Sickles, a skill that throws two sickles at both directions that return to you. If you keep avoiding catching them, they'll continue to hit enemies and gain increased damage with each hit. The Servants drop their weapons; Calliope has the Wrecking Ball, Euterpe has the Gilded Yumi, and Kleio has the Bladed Tonfas. Which weapon you get depends on which Servant you defeat last. The Queen drops the Queen's Rapier. When it strikes an enemy, it tears through reality and strikes a second time, dealing a critical hit. Death drops Death's Scythe. When it kills an enemy, its soul follows you around and strikes at the nearest enemy, dealing damage in proportion to the maximum hit points of the soul. The one exception to this rule is Dracula. Instead of a weapon based off of one of his attacks, you get the Vampire Killer, the legendary whip of the Belmonts. | |

The Servants drop their weapons; Calliope has the Wrecking Ball, Euterpe has the Gilded Yumi, and Kleio has the Bladed Tonfas. Which weapon you get depends on which Servant you defeat last. | |

Jerkass: The protagonist has moments of this, usually when desecrating corpses to loot items. Some of the NPCs, like the Recorder, also makes rude remarks towards them. | |

Ninja Run | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_f285dc86 | comment |
The main character has quite a few shades of this archetype, from the Ninja Run when powered up, to some of the weapons it can use, to the insane speed and acrobat ability it has in general. The player can also eventually get a rune that allows them to run up walls. | |

Creepy Crows | |
Dead Cells (Video Game) / int_f3da74ff | comment |
Creepy Crows: The Slammers are massive heavily mutated crows, who lost most of their feathers, have a collar around their necks and syringes stuck on their backs. they attack by slamming the ground in front of them very quickly, creating an unblockable shockwave. There is also an abundance of crows just hanging around the island's outsides, only flying away when the Beheaded startles them. According to the flavour text in the loading screens, they're the only birds left on the island. | |
