Great video and a goldmine of a channel! Really enjoy your overall friendly demeanor and professional attitude towards DC. Very inspiring stuff! Wish you the very best and looking forward to seeing more of your videos. :)
I'm still struggling with 4BC runs but heavy crossbow survival build has gotten me to the HOTK more than any other weapon. It's nearly useless without pierce, but with it you can 1-shot pretty much every enemy and whatever is behind them. By the time you get to somewhere like clock tower or King's Castle, you will be 1-shotting elite enemies too. Love it
same here, but i have a feeling beating 3bc was a fluke cause 4bc is kicking my ass (3bc also wasnt until my winning run, i never made it past stiltz other than the game i won)
@@zootin6688 4bc is the hardest. 5bc is the hardest in spoiler biome. Spoiler boss is easier compared to HotK in 5bc. I would recommend watching its moveset before fighting spoiler boss.
If I ever find a "1% hp recovered in close combat" weapon in 4BC I tend to pick it up and take it along inside of my backpack. Because if you find an isolated enemy you know you can dodge (bonus if its an off colour weapon) you can heal up without having to rely on random food drops, food stores, or using up health flasks. The Pure Nail by far is the best for this in my experiance due to the fact you can pogo safely on an enemy and regain health without fear of being hit. It can take some time depending on what weapon you have (pure nail and assasains dagger are good for this) but i find it rather useful if you're confident with your dodging / parrying. Otherwise, I appriciate you put the date / build the guide is from, it helps to bring attention to the fact it may be out of date. Good video as always!
I've been playing Dead cells for over a half year now and for almost 4 months, I didn't have any progress but 2 weeks ago I beat the hand of the king from 0BC to 3BC. I'm currently in 4BC and all I could say is Gah Deymn, so hard. And always remember that we have our own way of progressing forward. And my build is Explosive Crossbow, and parry shield in my backpack, mutation is Armadillo pack, no mercy, and YOLO. Just roll around when the hand of the king throws bombs so you can deflect them and make them your own, easier life 👍
I like off color acrobatipack running brutality, using offhand throwing knife and throwing a Lazer glave or a magic bow in the backpack for clearing mobs while running around. I'm sure there are other stuff that would be super good too but the homing arrows off of magic bow is nice for multiple situations like popping a bunch of bats for example especially with like slow or freeze affixes. And glaive doesn't care how low the DPS is off of the mutation since it'll just clear everything more often than not. Not in this situation but when running tactics, I recently learned how badass lightning bolt in the backpack with acrobatipack is since it runs the full lightning up to the crit without going red, with no channeling animation, and you can move around while it's going. I LOVE acrobatipack, despite the low dps% the utility is bonkers. Just sucks tactics has so many insane mutations that it's hard to justify using it unless it fits the build just right. But like I said that off color acrobatipack in brutality+throwing knife is so damn fun. Firebrands is ok too if you're rocking vampire killer. With vampire killer I almost prefer an offhand throwing knife with backpack fireblast though Oh yeah it's also the ONLY way I enjoy using hard light sword because I f***ing hate that weapon. Other utility for off color with brutality is guilded Yumi, ice bow or I like throable objects. Everyone knows about throwable objects, but I like baseball bat with objects, and glaive. Or you can be really baller and backpack the money shooter lmao. I want to test survival off color acrobatipack too with ice shards. I just learned apparently electric whip is ranged O_o. Sorry for the blowup of a comment, but hopefully I inspired some cool ideas or gave you all something fun to try to play with.. Also completely unrelated but electrodynamics is OP now. I run it with alucard sword and it's bananas
Might be obvious to some people but if you wanna train a boss fight you can quit your current game before the boss you copy it in the save file and start over on the second one, don't know if this gonna help someone but that's how i learned the HOTK pattern
I don't know for sure but sounds like a PC only trick for save scumming. I play Xbox :/ but I also wanna play legit, at least until I beat 4-5bc on normal mode. Also you don't have to save scum.. if you're willing to do stuff like that, why not just turn on custom mode and use the "extra lives" or whatever that lest you respawn?
@@Bodied Not sure if you're still playing, but you can go into the training room at the beginning of the game and practice to your heart's content against any boss you've fought previously, with as many scrolls/whatever weapon you find comfortable.
@@AtomicBoom227 Ive not played in several months. I knew about training but I'm a dummy and never utilized it, which is especially wild since I'm a fighting game player and we basically live in the lab lol! Always figured training In Dead cells would be weird though because it would be hard to emulate a build/scroll count that I'd have since it differs every run. I'd get overwhelmed trying to get a setup and probably never actually get to the practice vs the boss part lmao
i know its been like 11 months but still wondering why people really struggle with 2BC its honestly wasn't that bad since you can get heal flask in this difficulty but 3BC... i really struggle with this difficulty in this past few weeks just because I can't use a single flask because you only get it before/after bossfight but then i found thie broken synergies that manage to bring me to hand of the king and able to get the 4th cells. its swift sword, phaser, and frenzy with sadist's stiletto in the backpack. why sadist stiletto in the backpack? because its for bossfight and you must have open wound mutation to get this work because it will activate the crit condition. first you need to use phaser ability then boom you get the crit and it would be easy. and swift sword and frenzy mutation is for biomes because you can heal ALOT this build can easly carey you into endgame (you need to reset your mutation very often for biomes and boss for an example for biomes you need frenzy, disengagement, and combo and use swift sword because it will shine in biomes and for boss same thing but replace frenzy with open wounds because we gonna use the sadist stiletto. so use the swift swird build for biomes and sadist stiletto build for boss and make sure not to replace phaser with something else since it would be useful for biomes and boss)
Survival and tactics are my favorite builds ... followed closely by brutality. All the weapons are fun in this game. With the new DLC and update items magic missile has never been more fun. Running around with my own little lightning shield, and a flame thrower turrent... sooo much dot and build up.
Man, I'm 2 years too late, but I'm finally here! Lol Just beat 3bc with the baseball bat + throwing butcher knife that stuns.. what a freaking combo lol 😅😅 love the tips. It honestly helped me through 3bc! Now time for 4bc!
5:37 This came as a surprise to me coming from you. I think I remember you saying in a previous video where you did a custom mode run that you didn't consider it a "valid" run.
He doesn't consider it a valid run for himself, not for others. Custom Mode exists for struggling players, this way they don't have to nerf the challenge that Normal mode provides. And the devs know very well that Normal Mode is unreasonably hard to anyone who hasn't invested the time to master at least 50% of the game's aspects.
@@t3hsourcey god damn it critsrc, even on RUclips we still bump into each other while browsing Dead Cells content. We haven't encountered each other on Twitch for a while, and all of a sudden HERE YOU ARE.
War Spear isn't actually that bad of a weapon, in 2.4 I'm assuming this is from 2.4 since it's buffed, it has a pretty good biome clear in brutality since you can use it with Killer instinct for your skills and Predator to close the distance to your enemies, you just need a weapon like Sadist Stilleto or Rapier on your backpack to deal with bosses
I thought the same. I think war spear has been buffed atm because i beat 2bc and 3bc both with it in survival. Necromancy and what doesn't kill me are godsends for my reckless playstyle. The war spear 's first attack stuns most of the normal enemies, they're crippled to the point that i feel like I'm cheating. In the 3bc run i had a tier 2 war spear in forgotten sepulcher, absolutely insane
I reached 4BC without using a shield (187hrs in as of now), not planning to use it in the future either. I just cannot master it. Also, I think CM is sort of cheating coz I believe that's not how the game was meant to be played. It's all about drawing the weapons and skills, ur luck and how well u can adapt to different fighting styles throughout the run. U rightfully mentioned that's what brings the fun and has people come back again and again and again trying to beat the game. Thanks for the video!
On item variety, wouldn't it be more fun and challenging in a way if all weapons you found matched your highest color? Or maybe not all items, but a majority of them (in normal mode.) Instead of just deciding if it doesn't match your highest stat, recycle, you would have to decide what weapon would work best for your run. I've seen other people say this first, so just mentioning it here for feedback.
That much is obvious. If they don't match your color but it's still useful then you should take it. (like vampirism when you don't want to waste flask to get back health or anything that has different use then doing damage)
i beat 5BC like 30 times and i see ur video to see what tips you will give , i did a nuzlocke run in my channel and there is a video coming soon for the 2nd Attempt
I got my 5bc through custom mode. So i beated the Giant on 4bc with Custom mode settings (That probably disabled achievements). When i now run a Normal 4bc run to beat the Giant again do i still get the Steam Achievement for Absorbing the 5th BC ? Or did i locked myself now out of that and have to do a New Safefile basicly to get this Achievement ?
I was on BC2 for ages, years infact as I;d put the game down and not touched it for a while. Having got back into it, I was struggling again, thinking I;d never crack 2, then on what seemed a dodgy run I got to the final boss with no heals, a full healt bar, and very little hope, yet I was one hit from killing him, lucky swine pushed me into the spikes. The very next run, got almost the same gear from the word go, cained it with spare flasks a plenty. BC3, piece of cake, absolute breeze after a few attempts. 4 however, OH MY! As for the War Spear, I disagree, great weapon if you get the right modifers on it and just tank brutality and you play quickly.
you dont even need a shield to beat the game, it just makes it way easier. armadillopack has its upsides and downsides. it has a cooldown since youre parrying with the roll, but its way better at reflecting bombs and its easier to use
As much as Meat Screwer is so good, it was a bad choice to use it in Cavern, it almost killed me twice, I was lucky to get a Katana from an elite enemy. It was useful against The Giant.
Thanks a lot for all your videos. Still, I disagree on one point : I completed for the first time two 4BC runs last weekend and I found it way easier to do so with my favourite colour (Tactical). All my previous attempts with Survival (my least favourite) were nothing but failures, blood, sweat and tears. At this level, IMO HP are less important than dealing massive damages and maintaining my own favourite flow. After 160 hours, I just don't get how Survival works in terms of flow😂 Same with health saving / recovering mutations : I think they are nothing but delaying death devices that prevent from inflicting big damages to mobs. I completed the runs with Standard Bow (game best kept secret😅) /Infantry Bow / Throwing Knives / Pyrotechnics for close range purpose, and also to "tease" distant or invisible mobs. Multiple knock Bow for distance Catalyst applying oil A turret with bonus damages affixes Counter Shield Armadillo Pack to parry sometimes Point Blank to deal with emergency situations and trap teleporting enemies Networking or support for bosses With a oil / fire synergy. Deals huge damage on hit and over time, crits every close hit Networking is the ultimate mutation for giant (perfect kill in seconds😮) It gathered the Brutality pros (massive close range damages) with Tactics ones (dealing damages from a distance by staying safe from attacks) Managed to complete in Brutality yesterday too.
I absolutely do not agree that shields are mandatory or that that they make the game easier. I think having dual bound weapons make the game much easier. I'd always rather have more damage than waiting around to parry stuff. Rolling, ducking and crouching are really all you need. Yeah, the last stage of the spoiler boss can be easier but if you kill him fast enough you don't have to really dodge much.
@@evankrueger7321 yeah and getting gud enough with the shield will benefit you in a fast paced but "safe" playstyle. Just parry when 5 dudes jump at you from all directions and at different times. No need to "wait", that's only useful for caster's, etc.
I'm at 4bc and my Parry skill is very weak. I always roll by reflex and when a Parry it's always to soon. Somehow I was always able to beat the hand of the king with tactics build. 🤷
How did you get the last two scrolls? You had 28 when you beat the Giant. And then you immediately went to the throne room. So how'd you get those 2 scrolls?
Ngl I wish there was more added onto the malaise mechanic. It's really unique; I'd love to see how it could be expanded Also, Mutation idea: Tactics scaling All Skills inflict 3% more damage for every second they go unused. This bonus caps at (15% base, +3% per level of Tactics) Edit: this bonus is removed when the skill is used. Kinda obvious but it's possible to miss
I use the 3x the recovery time,vampirism,meat skier sword,giant killer,and last but not least ice armor,Ice armor is important so when you are low in life you use ice armor to be able to tank any 1 hit and then use vampirism,jump into a group of monsters and use meat skier and wala all you hp is almost full,also equip talent that slows enemies down when you hit them and the one that increases defense and attack both are in red talents,and increase red only and if you cant increase green,when you do both you power up giant killer,this has worked for me anywhere from no cell to I am currently on 5 cells,also before you die instantly restart game and you will be able to re start last saving point,but when you defeat the last bad guy,you have to kill yourself in spikes because the game won't let you restart game,all data is saved
the only mechanic that hinders my gameplay ded is the potato of a brain, literally ever had an ice fire build with oil grenade thingy too and my stupid ass forgot to dodge as usual "nono , kill the enemy first, its a priority"
Whenever I try to beat 4BC, I kill HOTK and he just gives me a note saying “investigate the giant” or some nonsense…who is the giant? I want to play 5BC how do I do that
A 3 bc player (can't even beat any of the first set of bosses) watching a 4 bc guide be like: Yep, that's it. Aha. Aha! Got it. Dies in the second biome immediately Edit/Update: I finally got to 4 bc with the weirdest combo I've done: Spite Sword + Face Flask (The Unkillable)
Spite sword + Flask is an old school classic. I wonder why the sword has the lowest drop rate in the game at 0.03%, it seems like the perfect starting weapon for new players.
Unfortunately, custom mode was considered cheating by developer. That is why they disabled any achievement in custom mode. Developer don't want you to beat their game thay way. Yeah that suck acx.

Standard Bow (game best kept secret😅) /Infantry Bow / Throwing Knives / Pyrotechnics for close range purpose, and also to "tease" distant or invisible mobs.
Multiple knock Bow for distance
Catalyst applying oil
A turret with bonus damages affixes
Counter Shield
Armadillo Pack to parry sometimes
Point Blank to deal with emergency situations and trap teleporting enemies
Networking or support for bosses
With a oil / fire synergy. Deals huge damage on hit and over time, crits every close hit
Networking is the ultimate mutation for giant (perfect kill in seconds😮)
It gathered the Brutality pros (massive close range damages) with Tactics ones (dealing damages from a distance by staying safe from attacks)
Managed to complete in Brutality yesterday too.
The Giant gives you the 5th bc, so you could have just stopped there.
If I were you, I would have spike shield in my bag and use armodillopack
I absolutely do not agree that shields are mandatory or that that they make the game easier. I think having dual bound weapons make the game much easier. I'd always rather have more damage than waiting around to parry stuff. Rolling, ducking and crouching are really all you need. Yeah, the last stage of the spoiler boss can be easier but if you kill him fast enough you don't have to really dodge much.
using an exploit is easier than using an intended game mechanic that takes precision and skill. who woulda guessed it.
@@evankrueger7321 yeah and getting gud enough with the shield will benefit you in a fast paced but "safe" playstyle. Just parry when 5 dudes jump at you from all directions and at different times. No need to "wait", that's only useful for caster's, etc.
I'm at 4bc and my Parry skill is very weak. I always roll by reflex and when a Parry it's always to soon.
Somehow I was always able to beat the hand of the king with tactics build. 🤷
lol same. tactics builds are always easier for me but in 4 bc i always die 🤠 i think i am realllyyyy bad at dodging.
Electric whip ice shards duo baby
Tysm, I jus got the 5th bsc
I just beat 3 bc with cursed sword
I allways use the armordillo pack, and i never used a shield
How did you get the last two scrolls? You had 28 when you beat the Giant. And then you immediately went to the throne room. So how'd you get those 2 scrolls?
You get 2 scrolls if you skip high peak castle or distillery
5bc please
Still can not beat HOTK on 4BC. I never have anything left for backup at that point.
Ngl I wish there was more added onto the malaise mechanic. It's really unique; I'd love to see how it could be expanded
Also, Mutation idea:
Tactics scaling
All Skills inflict 3% more damage for every second they go unused. This bonus caps at (15% base, +3% per level of Tactics)
Edit: this bonus is removed when the skill is used. Kinda obvious but it's possible to miss
I was playing with shield since 0bc and the problem is that now i can't dodge or play with more than 1 weapon ;-;
Just beat 4 bc with cursed sword only as yea
i would never get to 4 bc without continuation mode KEKW.
The only prob with 4bc is that it is extremely discouraging. 1 hit by zombies and the entire bar gone on second biome BTW
bro thats what rally mechanic is for? if you get hit and go hide in a corner you simply are not good enough yet, play aggressive
@@Scare_Hive that is true but still the damage unbelievably high and u have to really calculate your health usage is just mega brain u know
I use the 3x the recovery time,vampirism,meat skier sword,giant killer,and last but not least ice armor,Ice armor is important so when you are low in life you use ice armor to be able to tank any 1 hit and then use vampirism,jump into a group of monsters and use meat skier and wala all you hp is almost full,also equip talent that slows enemies down when you hit them and the one that increases defense and attack both are in red talents,and increase red only and if you cant increase green,when you do both you power up giant killer,this has worked for me anywhere from no cell to I am currently on 5 cells,also before you die instantly restart game and you will be able to re start last saving point,but when you defeat the last bad guy,you have to kill yourself in spikes because the game won't let you restart game,all data is saved
after leaving the game for about 3-4 months I'm trying to finish it in 4BC....
I'm suffering
What happens if you kill the giant and die in the hotk?
Weirdly enough Mama tick Claws worked much better in 4BC, prior to that I struggled to use them. Could be a skill issue though.
the only mechanic that hinders my gameplay ded is the potato of a brain, literally ever had an ice fire build with oil grenade thingy too and my stupid ass forgot to dodge as usual "nono , kill the enemy first, its a priority"
good shop
Just got into 4 bc and i cant even get out of prisoners wuaters now
How is war spear not viable?? That thing carries every run I have on any BC
Im taking sometimes way to much damage on elite enemies
how do you get the shop to be all the same colours?
It's an upgrade from the collector after unlocking 30 items from him
I thought you had to beat giant to get the 5th boss cell
Is it just me or on 4 BC the Hand of the king can't be rooted or stun
Whenever I try to beat 4BC, I kill HOTK and he just gives me a note saying “investigate the giant” or some nonsense…who is the giant? I want to play 5BC how do I do that
You have to defeat the giant boss
Only 4%? I'm not as bad as I thought
I'm a newbie to this game. How do you run double of the same item?
Legendary Items allow you to pick two of the same items at once. Here, Psychie had a legendary Cluster Grenade and regular Cluster Grenade.
One of them HAS to be legendary
*laughs in Armadillopack*
I’m just sayin: frostbite + frost blast = gg ez in biomes. Bat + trap + ice grenade = gg ez against most bosses
How can we go to the scarecrow without the DLC
You can't, it is DLC only
I made 42 tactics !
I know custom mode is not cheating but c'mon
We all wanted to beat a game legitimately
Except for people that wanted not to struggle, i accept that
A 3 bc player (can't even beat any of the first set of bosses) watching a 4 bc guide be like:
Yep, that's it.
Aha.
Aha!
Got it.
Dies in the second biome immediately
Edit/Update: I finally got to 4 bc with the weirdest combo I've done: Spite Sword + Face Flask (The Unkillable)
GJ mate
Gg
I beat 3bc with a 60% to bleeding targets rapier and got hotk to half health in 5 seconds
Same with me I fight hand of the king without flask. It was an amazing experience
Spite sword + Flask is an old school classic. I wonder why the sword has the lowest drop rate in the game at 0.03%, it seems like the perfect starting weapon for new players.
Sill not 5% but im getting to 5BC even if its the last thing I do in this game
Did it
Unfortunately, custom mode was considered cheating by developer. That is why they disabled any achievement in custom mode. Developer don't want you to beat their game thay way. Yeah that suck acx.
6:44 Disables high tier items to prove you’re just bad at the game.
Pain cells
Judging how good a color is by how much health you get from it is dumb lol
Can you please please please explain the malaise system but I need u to cover every single information about it
Says 200hrs like it's a lot. Lol.
I mean evem 130 is enough to get all the achiements and all the blueprints (though still needing outfits)
I'm currently playing in 4BC, my God is hard, I'm in the bank, and this game is so fun to play, I can't wait to collect my 5BC
