Dead Cells (2021+) | 10 Common Beginner Mistakes
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ค. 2024
- Dead Cells is a very difficult game. To avoid some of the burnout I've experienced over the course of my playtime, I decided to recompile some of the beginner tips I've gathered over the years. In this video, I go over some of the beginner mistakes, and give some tips of my own for those starting out.

It is worth adding that legendary items scale with the top TWO scroll counts. So a spread of 6-10-1 scales with 16 and 3-10-4 scales with 14. So if you have/gamble on a legendary it is also worth focusing scrolls on one secondary stat instead of spreading evenly for HP
Damn i did not know that, thats insane
That's great info
.... Why as someone that has beaten 5BSC, I didn't know that?
Ooooh, that must be why I always think they suck...
I wasn’t sure if that was correct, just confirming is this still true? The game really doesn’t indicate this well at all if it is
@@ckinggaming5bucketmadness766 From my recent experience with the current version it's true
The biggest advice I can give is: never panic. Damage in this game, especially 2bc and up, can absolutely snowball and destroy even if you were at max health, but there are very few situations you cannot escape from. For instance, there's this big skeleton with a black hood and a sword, don't remember their name, but they have a 3 hit combo: if you're caught and try to mash roll, you get the full combo, but if you time it right, you can escape, retreat and regroup
In general the training room from the latest update is a great boon, use it if you need to test stuff. Oh and one more thing: armadillo pack is one of the best mutations in the game, but picking it does not mean you are forced to only keep shields in your backpack. There is value in keeping a shield in an active slot
I'm very new and I usually keep a shield in both my bag and an active slot, probably not the best idea but less hits taken is less hits taken.
I absolutely despise that enemy
@@CallMeDoc_ your bag? How?
@@SPTNN not sure the key on PC, but on ps4 it's triangle. (it is an unlockable however, you might not have it)
@@CallMeDoc_ Def not unlocked for me than. So if i understand correctly, i can keep multiple weapons beside the ones that i have equipped?
Another tip I want to add is try learning parry. When you push the shield button at the same time as the exclamation mark comes, you parry it.
It is very satisfying once you learn the timing and also helps you avoid damage alot.
The Cocoon is basically my must-have items because of how viable it is.
@@AlvinTOS why not just use a shield?
@@KrakenG927 Sometimes I run double ranged weapons (because that's how I finally got my 5th boss cell), or if I got a two-handed weapon, then I really only have a cocoon to parry myself with.
@@AlvinTOS oh ok cool
There is an exclamation mark?
Whilst the tip about having all of your gear line up with your main stat is a good one. I'd say that there is a lot of room to play around with off colour gear too as utility and synergy. Shields, weapons that inflict debuffs, ice armour and coccoon work well off colour
include ice shards with brutality and rapier.
To add to this, off-colour mutations can also work very well. Crow's Feet and Tactical Retreat, while they do scale off of Tactics, are particularly useful in Survival since they slow enemies (Crow's Feet especially since the duration is longer and it's easier to implement). If you have flasks to spare, you can combine Tainted Flask (Brutality) and Extended Healing (Survival) to get a better damage boost than you would with either alone. (On a side note, Extended Healing completely negates the reduced healing from Emergency Triage.)
@@RandomTomatoMusic Also gastronomy which is almost a must-have for 4+BC, as the main reason you'd want it (+65% healing from food) doesn't scale, and the part which does scale is really just a bonus
I've stopped this game for a while after beating it for the first time since i didn't understand it. After i picked it up again last week, I watched your videos and just beat 3BC in an insane run and am mighty proud of my progress, which wouldn't have been possible without your tips. So ty and keep up the good work
1:52 I’m on 4BC and still do this, lol. But it’s just so useful for if I’ve gone a few levels without replacing my gear! It’s great! I don’t do it because I don’t want to add them to the item pool; I DO want to add them. But having the option of just getting a free colorless item at the current gear level is just GREAT!
Yeah I have the items al OST’s unlocked cuz I KNOW im going to use them, when I get to the point I want to use them, I can swap my build for only a few cells
Exactly, I still don't get why should I unlock everything. It becomes like a shop, we get to try a weapon on the best way
I'm happy to hear about taking your time because I can rage very easily so hearing it's a struggle for everyone is good for my confidence in the game.
0:31 Though, keep in mind that there can be exceptions to this for certain items/mutations.
For example, Ice Armor will always block 1 source of damage in the next 8 seconds. The only thing that increases is the damage of the ice explosion released upon taking a hit. So even if you have zero green scrolls, it’s still AMAZING for clearing curses.
Armadillopack still always lets you party with rolling; the only thing that increases is the percent of the shield’s damage is dealt. So, it’s still great for parrying attacks when you don’t have a shield equipped.
Extended Healing and Gastronomy always increases your flask’s healing from 60% to 85% and add +65% to the effects of food, respectively. The only thing that increases with additional green scrolls is the damage boost after using a flask and recycling food, respectively. So, they’re still great picks for if you’re struggling with the shortage of flask refills on higher BCs.
Wow, all four of these examples are for Survival, huh… Well, there’s still other times when off-color choices can be beneficial, but these are some of the best, imo.
Had no idea about the rally mechanic! This video has really helped. I've reached the HOTK once (and got absolutely pummelled) but this game is so much fun I'm not disheartened, just more determined
Adding onto the “take your time tip”:
Please, and i cant stress this enough, TAKE YOUR TIME ON THE SECOND ZONE YOU GO INTO, most of the time you will have until the 8 minute mark (if you want to get the bonus) to get there. If you find the entrance to the third level, dont go until youre sure you have the most amount of power scrolls you can find. Theres a reason theres a teleporter near it.
Dude it's been really cool watching the quality of these get better and better! Love the content
i just got to 2 BC and the lack of healing absolutely ravaged me, so it's good to see there's plenty of help out there
Thank you for extra tips, although taking it slow will be an obstacle for me since I do love speed running to the next safe room
It took me 2 years to beat this damn game too, but I love it. I kept myself from looking up things about the game and learned over time, pretty much all you said in this video i figured out through trial and error lol its kind of rewarding just seeing how my approaches were correct
Also worthy of note: aspects. Although you do not unlock boss cells while using them, they make for some decent training wheels while you travel the road to git gud. Especially the damned aspect, which removes the 1 shot death penalty from being cursed in exchange for double damage on both giving and receiving while cursed. It also applies to the cursed sword, making it a beast for grinding runs.
wow dude, I'd never have thought of that...on a *good* run, you'd be like the Terminator !! :O
perfect, this video pop up randomly and the way you share information is useful, effective, i subcribed and turned on notifications right after this
Thanks for the content, i played for around 8hrs on the past and unistalled idk why, but yesterday i returned to try once again and i'm having so much Fun, such a great and hard game, the more you play(and die) the more you learn and Go further, amazing.
I've got about 12 hours in this game so far, it's really fun, I've made it to the hand of the king once so far, nutcracker + frost blast kinda carried me through lol
You've made it to the hand in 12 HOURS??? YOU LEGEND!
Dang. That's a pretty fast time. The learning curve for this game is so interesting and different for everyone. I got stuck at one and 2BC then flew all the way through to 5BC.
@@Saxjon well he didn't beat him, I'd say 12hrs is fair for an experienced gamer
For me thats the best build, I got my 5th BC with that one xDd
Is it possible to save? How do i do?
I played for about 50 hours (kinda marathoned when I was free), 2 BSC now, already got all these points, and must say your video is immensely helpful.
Things to note/add:
- LEARN TO PARRY EFFICIENTLY (a real life saver).
- calm down and run with your comfortable pace.
- don't panic when you get cursed. This is what get you killed in the first place. Also cursed chests are actually quite helpful.
- run through challenge portals since they give you an additional power scroll
- choose a long route to the Throne to be able to collect as many powerups as possible.
- don't focus too much on opening timed/killstreak doors, since this disrupts your rhythm quite a bit. However try to open at least 30/60 flawless kills ones, this is a good practice before higher BSC and also will give you some beefy gear.
- learn boss fight tactics, high dps is great but further into BSC they're substantially harder to deal with.
- expect spending as much time on your next successful game runs as on your first one.
- Rapier is the best boss-killer for me right now (I dodge roll like crazy anyway, so always have criticals with it). Katana and Bone are the best mob slayers.
What does it mean bsc?
@@brucemohamed5316 short for Boss Stem Cell. The game gives you one each time you finish it (total of 5 BSC), and each time you insert one into the tube (under the jars with items at the start) the game gets significantly harder. New enemies, faster animations, more damage, less heals, etc.
I'll throw Electric Whip into the hat of best mob slayers. Not bad for bosses either.
excellent video man, i'm relatively new and this was actually really helpful.
Thank you!
Idk why I never thought about changing my mutations, it makes so much sense!
this video is pretty helpful, it really explain major issues I had when I started playing
and thanks fo
At last! I'm not a beginner anymore. 😆 Because I follow your channel for a long time, and I learned all these tips. Hahahah. Great video, will help a lot, the newcomers. Thank you! 😁
Thanks a lot for the video. I am addicted to Dead Cells now and this helps out a lot.
I always unlock what I can. Its fun not knowing what I'm going to be using and having to adapt.
The game would just get stale quicker for me, if I always used the same things.
Variety really helps keep it fun.
Completely agree with this. This was an issue I had with the game on a new save file as the same items just keep appearing. As soon as you've unlocked more stuff it becomes way more fun
Even though im a begginer at deadcells im happy to see that my experience in other gamss of the genre helped me, i avoided a lot of those mistakes.
One thing i like a lot is the training room to learn boss and enemies patterns, reaaaaly good stuff
I never knew about the rally mechanic. Super helpful!
Thanks Pseychie, because of your guides I finally managed to get to 5bc!Now all I have to do is beat it =D
Ive been playing for long and yet this vids super helpful xD
Especially no 1, Always tempted to spread stat for hp bonuses but only use 2~4 on other color for decent hp
An extra note on not healing; You may find food later. I've spent many a floor at around 20% and then find a 50% heal at the end.
Which also ties to a note you didn't mention that I see a lot of people skim over, which is, look for hidden runes. The extra cash and food can be run changing.
How you can't find them lmao
Great tips, thank you!
3:53 Okay, fair, but when you’re on 3+BC and walk into the first room and get absolutely shredded to pieces by a Rampager, losing two thirds of your health within the first 20 seconds, I think resetting is preeetty reasonable there.
Actually i sometimes keep some really good weapons on one cell left to unlock. Not to have only the weapons i want in the game, but to be able to get them when i have a good run
Thank you I needed this
I just started this game and there is so much stuff you have to remember. It's kind of overwhelming.
I can't wait to use this on my run through. Thank you. I got confused about the custom game setting. I thought it actually was cheating. Thank you again. I am trying to get those achievements too so it helps
Remember: do not use only heavy weapons if possible
Ex broadsword plus barrel launcher
It's possible to use them perfectly?
Yes but it's risky
Try using a fast ranged weapon/or melee weapon to complement your slow one
I've already beaten the game, so when I start a new file, I put all blueprints I can to 1 cell left just to annoy others who watch,
Also all these tips are amazing for beginners, you did a great job on the vid 👍
Thank you for showing this cool and useful content
Thanks man
Just like other roguelike games, game play feel fast paced & short, but its take time to completely finish the game.
And deadcells one of the best among other
Bonus tip: you can chip away at annoying mobs with Homonculus Rune from safe distances or lure them to teleport to you on BSC4-5.
If you're up to BSC4-5 and have somehow avoided watching TH-camrs like DocFirebird or AzumirillFairy, you can always sprint through mobs and force them to teleport to you on small platforms and hard punish them with your equipment.
200+ hours and I had no idea about the rally system 😂 Thanks for the tips!
I dont fully agree with unlocking everything, but that can be varied on playstyle and im not a brand new player, but this had some great tips and things i didnt know about still! Thanks !
tbh this is one of the best guides out there
thanks for the first tip i always spam the least health giving upgrades so that when i finally do get the bigger health ups its more benificial
Thanks, now I will go and apply what I learned from you
Before finding your channel I actually was hardstuck 1BC, after doing so and checking all of your tips I skyrocketed and got from 2 to 5BC in less than a week
You're a great teacher :')
Thank you! Welcome to the end game!
@@Pseychie_DC fun fact: I reached 1bc in 2 days (in June i think), became interested in game, "10h is not bad for 0bc" (tutorial), checked some videos about the gameplay, lore, some trick and tips etc. Since that day I know all dead cells tips, but can't reach 2bc till today. In some point of game I just blink, don't know what to do and die in second. It's frustrating and at this point game is not fun for me at all. It's not possible. I tried to play being 'chilled' (you know what i mean) and I wasn't so obsessed about tryhard and 2bc, but i was dying much earlier. I love and hate this game
Just some advice, some skills and weapons are good regardless of the color you focus. Anything that can freeze or stun can be invaluable. I may be running red, but the freeze blast can be extremely useful. Same with using the hunter/bear traps, freeze bombs, etc.
One thing I feel most people don't realize but nobody mentions in these guides is that deviating from the main path (Promenade -> Ramparts -> Concierge -> Stilt Village -> Clock Tower -> TK -> HPC -> HotK) isn't just 'harder and more rewards.' While it may seem like that your first time going through a new biome or on lower BC, several of these biomes (like Promenade or Stilt Village) can actually be harder than their alternatives, and many biomes complement certain styles of builds.
The newest update makes the game a lot more varied in play because newer players can start playing it way faster than if you just wanted to play it normally.
Thank you for teaching me master!
Thx to this guide I finished the game today a month in a half into the game
This is a huge help I'm bad for putting scrolls evenly distributed so I'm going to try what you said see how I do thanks
The reason I started keeping some items on 5 cells remaining is to have a backup mid/late game weapon
You see. Every time you unlock an item it is dropped with a high roll stats. And that is amazing. Also, some times I even synergized with another item I'm carrying (for example. I was carrying a rather nice Oiled Sword. And guess what I could unlock? Fire Blast)
Fire blast is a bit touch and go. Its a maintained breath attack as opposed to a burst like frost blast. It also has a bit of a buildup time before the fire starts spewing.
idk if youll see this. BUT ive just gotten 4BC 2 days ago whilst being at 2bc just 2 weeks ago. Thank you so much for your help and guides that helped me get to 4BC so quickly
I have around 110 hours in "Dead Cells" and now I think that true fun, as Dwarf Fortress community says, dying (losing) is fun, starts when you have 2 boss stem cells. I'm on my second big run thorough the game and I'm on 1 boss stem cells with relatively small numbers of items (weapons, skills and mutations) and two potions (since dying is fun). I'm finding beating games in such circumstances more challenging then before, so I decided to finally learn "Dead Cells" mechanics in depth and to learn from others. Discovering things yourself is fun, but if I didn't find something after 100 hours of play, I can learn from others with clear gamer conciseness. Thank you for this video, I already learned a lot.
And also, it is fun to git gud. 😄
I just started about a week ago & so far I'm actually surprised I got one entire run done. I felt like it was definitely whatever gear I had that helped but ever since then I've been just doing runs for cells & that alone has been fun to unlock all the different weapons
I dunno about the first tip, man. Maybe for experienced players going for the DPS is better, but for beginners, the extra health helps learn the game better since you can make way more mistakes (I just picked up the game yesterday and managed to get to the king's hand on my 4th or 5th attempt because of how tanky I was, i had lika a 10-7-9 split). That being said, I've played all FS games and rougelikes/lites and my strat is always go the safe route when and learning the ropes, only after that do I focus on going for the high damage output builds.
nice vid, thanks!!!!
yes. another high quality video
I did not realize Dead Cells even had a rally system. I'll also admit I was spreading my upgrades around, thinking that max HP and a well-rounded approach were the keys to success. I can see now how this has actually been holding me back. Great insights. Thanks.
I always noticed it since the beginning, until this video I just called it the “grace period”
I did after discovering the recovery mutation, extends time to get health back
I got dead cells yesterday and now I know what to do. Thank you
I was looking for this
I'd say every item is useful depending on how you use it, sure, some less than others, but every single one can be used effectively.
Not really, some items(specifically I don’t like the blood sword, ok damage but no critical damage), are pretty bad
This video helped me so much. It actually talks about şiteral beginner mistakes rather than 5bc
Totally accurate, cheers mate
as im a noob this helped me so much. thanks
just started playing, thats for the help.
p.s. when do you that sword that shall not be named?
Ive been playing since summer of 2020 and I didn't even know about the Rally Mechanic until now
I'm not even a newbie, but thanks a lot Dude! I felt caught when you mantioned the Cursed Sword^^;
Cursed Sword is actually verry usefull to rush the first level and try to get the 2 min door + the 30 ennemies door
Ur video helped me out alot, I'm already at 3bc and I just got the game a week ago..
Rally mechanics are difficult to apply if the enemy who attacks us is one, and we are hit by enemy attacks. It's really troublesome to get back to green again
Thanks for the rally mechanic
1:55 was very much a thing before custom mode was introduced. It was a fun time kek, some of the most broken times in the game esp in 1.0
I feel personally attacked...
1:50 Why u call me out like that?
3:16 On a recent run I noticed I recovered health somehow, now I know why thanks.
3:50 I'm guilty of this...
Your videos helped me a lot tho, thanks for the awesome guides.
Its been 5 month i stuck in hell. And cant beat that level and i was about too drop the game but when i heard that you didn't finish the about 2 years i said by myself i am gonna beat this game when ever it takes!
yo!, i'm actually just unlock curse sword when you mentioned it! that's crazy haha
It’s good to know that it really is incredibly hard, and not just me.
Most of the time when I get hit there's no enemy's for me to recover hp from rally, also sometimes I don't heal because some things don't count as damage for rally points
Bloodborne player here, I've only been playing this game for a couple of days now and I had absolutely NO clue that there was a rally mechanic. This'll make my reckless "throw yourself at the bad guys with an assault shield" playstyle a little more informed next time.
been playing since early access and i had no idea about that note about shop prices lmfao, i guess it changed when they reworked the economy but im so used to the old inflation still hahaha
Good advice, I'm still not gonna put that last cell into the cursed sword though
I'm shamefully guilty of tip #8. I think this is a habit that everyone will only develop after getting to a certain progress in the game, like reaching 2BC (for me at least)
After spending tens of hours, days, and months into getting two BCs I immediately set the standard of what makes a viable run. Every run I do has to be perfect, so any unfavorable event means restarting.
4:10 you actually bring the assasin dagger to ossuary, it's such a pain =)) Btw, thank to your channel, I manage to come to 5BCs
Perfect video, cut right to the chase
Thank you!!!!
Just got this game yesterday and have been doing brutality since the start. Lucky I’m doing it right
in dead cells mobile there are some interesting mechanics:
-Undo death is entirely possible if you quit to the homescreen before the body desecrate,close the app and reopen and you can redo the biome from the last door
-Auto hit mode makes it unnecessary to use health flask when you still have health in the main parts of the game,as it allows for death cheating,if you still have a flask charge on auto hit mode,you can't die without curse
-Reroll the reroll by using the same process as death undoing
man the first tip is for pussies ngl lmao
Pseychie: Video for beginners
Also him: shows himself killing endgame bosses
Thx bro now I can play a bit better than before now
1:20 the only exception was when they added a rule for Legendary weapons that made em scale off of both the stats added up
About the unlocking items thing, i don't unlock weapons, not because i don't want to unlock weapons that are low on tier lists, but because i have so many damn things to unlock that i never have enough cells for weapons.
Honestly i do #4 because i wanna try them in another dedicated run. Sometimes i have a good weapon on a good run and just dont wanna risk it y'know
非常有用，谢谢分享。
very helpful,thank you for sharing this.
im super guilty of the first two (diversifying scrolls + only looking at dps) but when i started watching speedruns and good players i realized it isn't the best course of action.
It took me a whole year before I completed dead cells. I'm now playing it again cos it's since gotten so many dlcs.
It is really helpful. I have 20h on dead celles and I am maliny all those mistakes
As a person who already beated 5bc
3 times I can confirm this is really good info
I'm using Flash fans most half the run and it amaized too ! 🙂
i've never seen this game but it looks interesting
