[@aldenstromberg7273]

one thing i do is when im in a challenge rift and the necklace from the chest doesnt match my color i use it to increase my hp during the rift since having more evenly distributed scrolls is better hp this applies to almost every rift i go in but once i accidentally recycled my original necklace so be careful ig

[@DisappointedGiant]

That's also a excellent idea! I had that in my original script but cut it since the amulet section was getting a bit dense. I'll pin this so other players can see it. Thank you for commenting!

[@im_beefy]

the comment abt not immediately adding a boss cell is so refreshing to hear!!! my brother asked me why i was playing 1bc when i had 2bc and i told him i wanted to get used to rhe difficulty. feels good to know i wasnt insane for saying that LOL. eventually, 1bc got to be easier and now i’m trying to get thru 2bc to get my third >:D

[@Remag123]

Ok but correct me if I'm wrong, aren't the enemies found in each biome different in 1BC compared to 2BC?... Or is it that once you get a new boss cell the enemy types in each biome change regardless of the number of boss cells you're using?

[@nashhhhh41]

@@Remag123I get what you mean, getting good at 1bc doesn’t let you get used to the difficulty of 2bc per se, but I think what they meant was get better at the game in general by being able to beat 1bc more consistently in order to prepare for 2bc better

[@sharkastic2633]

This was incredibly refreshing to see. Every other guide video I've seen has had some advice that is fundamentally incorrect but everything here is excellent. The game's official discord is also a great resource for people who want to know more about the finer details of the game, as it has the highest concentration of experienced players out of any forum about the game that I've seen.

Oh man, absolutely! If it weren't for you I don't think I would have found out about scroll manip so that section is pretty much all you. Thank you for watching the whole thing! :D That exit to the Ossuary where I missed the rift was brutal. If you watch in slow motion you can see I turn around at the last section to try to go back lol

[@video_cookies]

Thank you so much for these guides! I randomly found them because I started playing again after about two years. Back then I felt pretty satisfied to where I got (got 2BC but never tried it), but looking back I noticed I really got not even half way there in my DC journey. I'm an Isaac player and if anyone else plays it too, it basically equates to beating It Lives and stopping there, you have so much to see yet! In any case, these guides have been incredible at helping me get better again after so long and encouraging me to keep trying! I learned a ton from the 0 and 1 BC ones and now I'm pretty consistently getting to the Hand of the King with a full Health Flask (and still dying lol). One question I have is that, I know stories in roguelikes are hard to follow, but I really didn't remember how the game started and what you've learned until 2 BC (for example, I didn't even remember the throne wasn't empty on your first full playthrough until I saw the scene in one of your vids I think), so is there a way to catch up on that side of things to where I am now without getting totally spoiled? I haven't seen this video in full because I want to at least beat 2BC before going any further, so I apologize if you mentioned it somewhere in there! Thanks again and sorry for the long comment!

[@DisappointedGiant]

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm really glad to hear that my videos have been helpful. I haven't played Isaac but when I read your analogy I thought of Hades, where some people play until they beat the game a few times to get the ending and then stop... there's so much more content after that! I don't think I get into story stuff in this video but there's not too much that's revealed outside of that first ending. I did some digging and found this video that has the full first ending sequence on 0BC with the King (the footage starts around 3:55): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eny4o5-fadeWbbM There's also some big story lore that gets explained by the Giant the first time you fight him. I wasn't able to find a video of that in particular and I don't have footage myself, but the Wiki does explain what happens if you want to see it. In the spoiler section of the article the first two sentences paraphrase what happens (the last two spoil some 4/5BC stuff): deadcells.wiki.gg/wiki/The_Giant Most of the actual story and lore is discovered through the lore rooms around the island, so if you want to put some more of the pieces together I recommend checking those out when you come across them. (PS: I'm sorry for the late reply here, I've just started catching up on my comments from the past week or so!)

I'm on 3BC since septemper 2023, really stuck on this and made a pause for a month. And after that I started to learn how to use shields so I finally achieved the HOTK (I was really far from this before the pause) but couldn't beat him. But anyway it's a nice feeling when you learned something new and can make a progress.

That's great, thank you for stopping by! All of the music in this video is mine but some of the other videos have some tracks from other folks (I list those in the description).

Thought this channel had like 100k subs considering how good the editing is! Just cleared 1bc and got to hotk first go in 2bc but my damage was so subpar. Will have to get used to taking cursed chests for more scrolls No health charges in passages in 4bc looks rough though!

[@DisappointedGiant]

Thank you! :D Broken flasks in 4 (and 5) BC is a pretty rough adjustment, for sure. They do ease you into it a bit starting at 2BC but that doesn't make it feel any better. Congrats on getting to HotK in 2BC! Hopefully getting some better gear or finding something good in a cursed chest will get that DPS up for you.

just got the game last week randomly cuz i liked the cover art, and now im addicted lol got to throne room once in 0bc on a random run where i got the baseball and a lot of brutality scrolls. finally found out how to get to draculas real castle and the medusa thing i ran into just whooped me, barely scratched it.

[@DisappointedGiant]

Medusa is brutal! She hits so hard x_x

[@98ore]

@@DisappointedGiant thanks for the response, loved the video. any tips like what type of weapons ? is wolf trap effective ? etc right now my focus is still on just at least unlocking each biome on the map, just died at cavern and have 3 biomes left to reveal on the map.

[@DisappointedGiant]

@@98ore I personally like Wolf Trap but it doesn't always work since some enemies can't be rooted. It's tough to say what's "good" since there are so many different uses for different items. The basic advice I have is to try everything you have to see what you like and to learn more about each playstyle (fast melee for Brutality, ranged for Tactics, heavy close combat for Survival). I have a beginner's guide video up that has some more info on trying different things out and how each color/style works, so I recommend checking that out!

[@OpaqueDreamer]

These videos have been quite helpful, thanks for making them! I've had the "secret zone visibility" option turned on, but I'm not noticing any difference. What should I be looking out for?

[@DisappointedGiant]

I'm glad these have been helpful for you! The secret visibility option makes secret areas in walls and ceilings a little easier to see. Think of where the Quick Bow blueprint is at the beginning of the Prisoner's Quarters or the area in the Graveyard behind where the key is. The walls look like they have little holes or bubbles in them, and that option makes that effect more visible. I hope that makes sense!

[@OpaqueDreamer]

@DisappointedGiant Oh, I see, so that mesh look is the thing that's been changed. That means it doesn't reveal all secret passages, but some is better than nothing. Thank you very much!

[@johnstallone4807]

Hello, I've been watching a lot of your videos recently. I just got to 1BC, how do you determine which stat to upgrade in the first level if we end up replacing the starting gear early on? I have a few things unlocked. Do you start off telling yourself you're only going to go Brutality this run, etc? Like I usually end up not being sure and pumping brutality and then a survival weapon drops and I have 1 survival

[@DisappointedGiant]

Great question! Since it's best to take both of the scrolls in the Prisoners' Quarters as the same color I'll make the decision on what stat I'm going to play before I get my first stat. Sometimes I'll wait to see if anything good drops in the level before I take it, and other times I'll just want to play a certain color and will take those scrolls even if I don't have much of a build yet. I find that I can generally get a good weapon somewhere in the first level or two that matches my color and then I just ramp up from there. If something happens like what you mention I would give the survival weapon a big :( as I recycle it, and then maybe I'll play that next time.

[@cruelcumber5317]

Minor correction (or maybe less of a correction and more a mechanics tidbit you might not have thought worth mentioning that I think is good to know), but the base item level of a biome is not the item level you'll find everything at since various item sources give 1 or 2 extra item levels. The only really notable one is shops which give +2, so it's very worth looking at shops even if your gear level is close to what's listed as the base level of the biome.

[@DisappointedGiant]

Good point! I could have worded that better by saying that base gear level increases but also that the usual +1/+2 from chests/shops still applies and that shops have higher gear. Now that the video is up (and I can't edit it lol) I'm realizing I should have spent more time talking about the difference in item levels from various sources. Great catch, thank you for pointing that out!

[@stephenwalker1984]

I’ve been playing this game on and off since it came out in 2018, and I never realised that synergise affixes had exclamation marks on them.

[@DisappointedGiant]

Your eyes aren't deceiving you! They added that feature to the game in v2.9 as part of the Breaking Barriers accessibility update, so it's a more recent update.

[@TheFuckingKrayz]

I love having an insane ice crossbow build and autopiloting into giant, it is my favourite 4bc activity. :)

[@DisappointedGiant]

Ice Crossbow is so great! Such a great 2H weapon.

[@ahadmerchant7510]

Damn your editing style, music and script has no right being THIS good for someone with only 1.7k subs. Also I’m kinda torn. I managed to beat 1BC last week but have been stuck on 2BC. Should I try to get some clears for 1BC first or continue trying to grind 2BC? I’ve been trying to experiment with survival and tactics as I used brutality to get both my 0BC and 1BC. I just can’t make it past 2 biomes without dying to a curse or getting deleted in one fight without being able to use a flask. I just love the doubled cells and farming with enticed biomes.

[@DisappointedGiant]

I'd say it may be helpful to hang back on 1BC for a bit and get a few more clears, especially if you're trying out new builds and items. Tactics has the lowest HP out of the bunch, too. You are 100% right about the double cell drops at 2BC, though. It's SO tempting! If you want to stay at 2BC (even though it's tough!) it might be worth finding the biomes you're most comfortable with and then consistently taking that path during your runs to get into the groove. Like, if you have better luck taking the Sewers then lean into that for now until you feel good about that path and then chase other biomes. That way you can build up to some consistent progress and either dump those extra cells into unlocks or the forge after the first boss. I hope things go smoothly for you - let me know how it goes! Also, thank you for the comment and the compliments. Much appreciated. :D

@@ahadmerchant7510 yoooo congrats, that's awesome! I'm glad to hear it :D

@ahadmerchant7510 Grats on beating 2BC! However check out HotK too (still on 2 BC) and you may find something useful that makes your initial biomes easier or just more enjoyable to conquer (and much faster too). I've took the same way, beat the queen on 2BC (since I failed really bad on HotK too many times), but then seen some nice videos about tubes and BC guides ;) Yes it was this one :D For me it took like 2-3 months to clear 2BC, and around 2-300 runs :/ I was really stuck on it... my first chance on a really optimized starfury build did the trick. Yes, I truly did not use the bow in the boss fight.

[@Andymosity]

Sick ass vids man. I've been learning so much. Also dude I heeavily fuck with your music.

[@DisappointedGiant]

Yesss, I'm so glad to hear all of that. Happy I could help!

[@MrCzle]

How do you do that double jump roll into the cursed chest room in Prison depths? I am trying so hard but cant seem to get the roll at all!

[@DisappointedGiant]

It can be tough! Try to position yourself right under the hole when you jump into the wall, and then when you jump and roll press toward the hole. If you're playing on a controller I recommend using the d-pad or Joy Con buttons instead of the analog stick since it's more precise.

[@themightypengu]

on the part were you talk about bypassing the wall on corrupted prison/prison depths to reach the corrupted chest after you have passed the locked door, i was unable to go through the small gap even after half an hour, i play on switch i dont know if i am just bad or switch joycons are not fast enough to execute the maneuver properly (i have reached 3 bc thank you for your guide)

[@DisappointedGiant]

Congratulations on reaching 3BC, that's great! I've done that trick on Switch with the Joy Cons before so I was able to get it to work. It might be trickier since the Joy Cons are a little less sturdy than a normal controller. When I'm on the Switch I use the d-pad to play, not the analog stick. I can break down the steps in more detail, maybe that'll help? Double jump up and hold on to the wall under the little hole, while pressing toward the direction of the wall. Jump to release from the wall, and then jump again while pressing roll immediately after that second jump. Think about rolling your thumb right from jump to roll. Hold toward the wall as you roll and you should make it through (I hope!). It may take some practice but I hope you can get the trick to work since it's really useful. Let me know how things go!

[@RedJudgement]

Also another thing that helps for me for some reason ls wearing blue tinted sunglasses I have no idea why but it makes the game clearer for me and no i’m not colorblind You should probably check into this as well because it’s weird and maybe it’s a common thing Maybe some people have different color tints that gives the same effect as me Or maybe i’m crazy You decide

[@DisappointedGiant]

Huh, that's really interesting! I wonder if having a cooler colored lens makes things easier to see.

[@AbersonCavalcante]

i just beated the hand of the king in 1bc and i was wondering when is worth it to buy new weapons ? i aways buy before the time keeper and is worth it to reroll weapons or just buy a new one 1 level higher ?

[@DisappointedGiant]

It depends on the item but I generally don't buy any weapons until after the Corrupted Prison or Prison Depths. Before Time Keeper is a good time, too, since that's higher gear level. If a weapon is one level higher it doesn't make that much of a difference in damage. At this point the affixes are where it's at! Using rerolls to make sure you have good synergies between weapons is really important and is sometimes better than just going for a newer gear.

[@pifpouf2817]

Great guide !! I just have a question. Should I go to the bank or not? Because it is kinda hard compared to other biomes

[@DisappointedGiant]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! One of my favorite survival weapons comes from the Bank (Gold Digger) so if you like heavier/slower gameplay I recommend going there to grab that blueprint. Otherwise I don't think it's worth going there that often. It's *so* long compared to other levels, enemies are tough, and you don't get any extra scrolls. I'll go on occasion if I'm in the mood for something different or to get top level gear if it takes the place of the final tier biomes (Cavern, Clock Tower, etc.) but often skip it.

[@pifpouf2817]

Also about the Cell grinding There is a mod on the workshop called 100x cells i don’t think i need to elaborate it is what i used but it is kinda morally questionable

[@DisappointedGiant]

Eh, not at all! I think using a mod to get cells for the forge is totally reasonable since it's such a grind. Maybe not for the regular weapons/upgrades since that's part of the regular difficulty curve but you do you :)

[@bsdghostleo6309]

Soo I first tried 2BC, can continuously beat it, but I’m heavily struggling to get even past 3BC‘s second boss. Do you maybe know, how I could improve?

[@DisappointedGiant]

Make sure you upgrade the Forge as much as you can and take some defensive mutations if you need some extra protection (Gastronomy, Disengagement, etc.). If there's a certain build you like or weapons that work for you try to build around those to see if that helps. Keep at it!

[@zackmione5524]

So i am right now stuck at 3bc (only gotten to HOTK once on 3bc ) and i have ++maxed. I hear so many people say 3bc was alot easier but for me having alot less healling is really hard but hopefully i can get a good run and just win it

[@DisappointedGiant]

That's one of my original songs! I've used a different version in my other videos but I rearranged it and added a new section for this video.

Bro if I was good enough to survive cursed chests I wouldn't need them

[@Insanity-vv9nn]

Im really struggling on 3BC. The RNG makes it difficult to create a good build.

[@DisappointedGiant]

The increased damage makes a difference, too. Have you tried different color builds? Playing survival with Necromancy/Gastronomy/Soldier's Resistance for mutations might help out.

[@Kendro311]

Anyone else imagine you're being schooled on this game by a 20ft tall dude who's got his arms crossed, looking down at ya and just shaking his head? 😆

[@DisappointedGiant]

Ha! I was going for the vibe of a 20' tall dude who is smiling and pointing in the right direction but that visual is too good to pass up.

Cleared 3bc after roughly 40-50hrs iirc. Im now at 118hrs. Still 4bc…

[@DisappointedGiant]

You'll can do it! Make sure you fight the Giant in 4BC when you get there.

[@ibeorange5217]

Im surprised that people got through 3BC easily. For some reason, i keep losing, and I have a lot of stuff and the forge for me is almost filled to the max.

[@DisappointedGiant]

How far have you made it into 3BC? Is there a specific part or boss that's causing more trouble for you?

[@ibeorange5217]

On my first run, I did great. I got to the forgotten sepulcher, but died clumsily from a curse. I haven't been able to get out from toxic sewers or the promenade since then, mostly due to rampages in groups of inquisitors, zombies, rats, and buzz cutters.

[@DisappointedGiant]

@@ibeorange5217 It's nice to see you're mixing up your runs. On 3+BC it can take some time before a build comes together so it makes sense that those early levels are causing some trouble. At least for me, I notice that the first couple of biomes feel tougher than later ones; once weapons get higher quality and scroll count goes up it feels a bit more balanced, usually after the first boss. Rampagers are one of the few enemies that will chase you in 3BC so you can try to take it slow and kite them out of crowds to deal with them 1-1. When they're surrounded by other enemies (inquisitors ugh) they can be rough! They always have the same attack though, so if you can learn that timing it might get more familiar. If you're not taking Disengagement and/or Gastronomy those are good picks to save a death and get extra healing from foods. Good luck! Let me know how things go and if I can help answer any questions for you along the way.

[@ibeorange5217]

Thank you! Also, by the way, your videos have helped me out a ton. I probably would not have been able to get to 3BC without them!

[@DisappointedGiant]

@@ibeorange5217 You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that they've been helpful for you. :)

As a mobile 2bc player nothing is worse than ruining my perfect run to a stupid spike trap
