Dead Cells: How to Farm Cells on ANY BC So You Can Max the Forge | BONUS Blueprint Checklist!

[@estebansiu3909]

This is a great video! What I do to grind cells is play the game normal but having all the items be legendary and be on 5bc. It makes the game fun and fast paced especially if you choose certain weapons. I think the point is to not get bored of doing the same thing over and over again. Everybody has to find a way to keep it fun and having all items be legendary is very fun. I already got all the achievements and trophies for base game so now I’m taking it nice and fun to collect the rest of the things such as blueprints and outfits

[@DisappointedGiant]

Thank you! That's such a great idea for grinding it out. Having all the achievements makes it even better since you can just do anything worry-free with a bunch of OP items. I love it!

[@TheShorker]

[@TheOnlyToblin]

The amount of "cheating is fine, actually" in the Dead Cells community is rather refreshing from the "old school" "GIT GUD SCRUB" crowd I grew up with.

[@DisappointedGiant]

It's really nice to see that mindset so frequently here. I remember there was a divide when assist mode came out but we're here to have fun playing a single player game, so let's have fun with it! :D

[@TheOnlyToblin]

@@DisappointedGiant That's always been my opinion as well. If the game has no leaderboards, competitive modes or PvP, then how people play it is none of your goddamn business. When things get competitive, well, that's another story. But like I said, I started gaming in the mid 80's, so I grow up with all the hardcore gamers who scoffed at "girls" who needed an "easy mode". I am very glad that shit is over. ^^

[@Slugcat-with-a-GUN]

​@@TheOnlyToblin Yeah the game is made for you to have fun not for suffering so making the game easier is not something you should be ashamed of

[@iprefernot]

For me useing assist mode feels like getting kicked in the nuts, it hurts but it goes away

[@emPtysp4ce]

This is great information, especially for someone stuck at 1BC with no idea what the fuck is going on like me, but can we take a minute to appreciate that this guy's voice sounds like calm summer rain as you're going to sleep? It makes the information that much easier to digest.

[@DisappointedGiant]

Best comment. Thank you!

[@GrumpyOldMacSalty]

Coming back to Dead Cells in 2024 after playing it originally at launch and briefly when the Castlevania DLC came out; this is a fantastic breakdown for me (someone who never really understood Dead Cells at launch). It's so much fun and now it's time to farm! RIP Darrell 💔 I'm giving my little void extra love right now for Darrell

[@DisappointedGiant]

I'm glad this was helpful, and welcome back to the game! Thank you so much for your support and sympathy

[@PersonGuy968]

The Boss Rush is honestly the best method, as it can also be used to practice for Flawless Runs on bosses.

[@DisappointedGiant]

Totally!

[@artistella31]

How does one disable dlcs to get the bosses you want?

[@toto_impersonater]

​@@artistella31you don't

[@WashingtonPrime]

So I did custom boss rush with all bosses selected and used assist mode to reduce enemy health and damage to 20%. I got 682 cells in 10 minutes. Bosses will still drop blueprints. Wish I used assist mode to farm cells in boss rush sooner. Thank you DG and the whole community. Going to upgrade my forge completely before attempting 2BC

[@gabrielarkin6575]

What I found to be effective for boss rush is the custom one - you can choose which bosses you want, and exclude the harder ones, and you get around 500 cells per run on 0 BCS.

[@prateekshukla346]

Elaborate please. Newbie heyah

[@gabrielarkin6575]

@@prateekshukla346 Well, when you finish all boss rush levels (or maybe the first 3) you unlock the "custom" one. In this one you choose which bosses you want to encounter, in which order, and which variant.

I have an issue where after boss rush only forge guy spawns, any clue why?

[@gabrielarkin6575]

​@@DarkN1ght2440s Honestly, no idea. Maybe you have purchased everything? (Although I doubt you would be asking if this was the case). Maybe you haven't unlocked any blueprints so he has nothing to sell you?

@@gabrielarkin6575 I am currently on mobile so that could be it? clean cut didnt come to mobile yet and it added the DIY boss rush so I guess that is the issue, btw is the collector present after the DIY only or after all trials, another thing the wiki doesnt mention him at all it only mentions the Blacksmith so I guess the wiki is outdated too

[@gav2319]

You have become one of my favorite people on KZbin in a very short amount of time! I just beat 1 bc and I actually LOVE playing boss rush. There is just something so satisfying about beating the special bosses every time. I know what you mean but I personally am fine with the grind.

[@DisappointedGiant]

That's so nice to hear, thank you! I think I'm personally just a little burnt out on boss rush after grinding it to max out the forge on a few different files... and also after getting destroyed on the 4th trial way too many times to count lol

[@Ar-ken]

Really well done it's simple, has a friendly info structure, straightforward, I like it a lot my only takeaway from it, (just me being lazy) is the mutation tab had it been categorized by the color of each mutation it is associated with.

[@sasisarath8675]

100x more Cells : This mod makes it really easy to farm cells if you are on the PC, I don't mind cheating when it comes to cells. As its not about the cells but more about your skill set. ( my 2 cents )

[@DisappointedGiant]

Totally. I play on Switch and PS4 but if I played on PC I would absolutely use that mod on new save files to get my forge up.

[@outphase78]

Thanks for the idea. This game is fun but not everyone wants to spend time to grind especially with so many other games on the come up. I will eventually put this game down for good so any method to help me complete it faster is welcomed.

[@DisappointedGiant]

@@outphase78 I hear you. IMO grinding for the forge is the worst part of Dead Cells but it's a necessary mechanic. I wish they made weapon quality level dependent on BC level so that way people wouldn't need to get so many cells on it. 13,500 is a lot!

[@coral1016]

[@DetroitGD]

Personally if you turn on all assist mode and custom and go in boss rush highest difficulty you can grind 200+ cells in 5min each make sure it’s highest boss rush at your highest boss cell and you can get quite a few cells though it is quite repetitive so that’s what I do for quick cells.

The first one for Grenadier got posted a few days ago; I'll link it below! Mutations though, absolutely. I'm going to put up a tier list sometime in May where I talk about every single mutation at length, so hopefully that will be helpful for you. I talked a bit about the differences between brutality/tactics/survival in my 0BC tutorial video, but I like the suggestion of stretching that out so I may revisit their differences more in depth in a separate video down the line.

[@GamingWithNeytiri]

what does BC mean ?

[@DisappointedGiant]

BC means boss cells. When you beat the game on the default difficulty you'll get your first boss cell, which lets you increase the difficulty to the next level (1BC, since you have 1 boss cell active). When you beat 1BC you'll get another so can increase to 2BC, all the way up to 5. More info here! deadcells.wiki.gg/wiki/Boss_Stem_Cells

@@DisappointedGiant Thanks! Its gold

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

Wait so..... Custom mode and assist literally allows you to knock gear randomness and enemy tankiness out the park, and still gives you the super celll drops? I thought the penalty for specifically setting your items to be a certain type would be the inability to grind cells and blueprints with it.

[@narratorguy20]

Nice video also can u post a video about all skins and how to get them

[@DisappointedGiant]

I have a video up that shows how to unlock the secret outfits, which you can find here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIKahnaOYs2UiM0feature=shared&t=1579 There's a link in the description in this video to a checklist that has an outfits tab you can use to see what you're missing. Most of the outfit unlocks are just blueprints so I'm not planning on making a video to cover those skins. Hopefully that helps!

[@mohammad766]

How did you open the door 😐 3:17

[@DisappointedGiant]

Those are boss cell doors, which you can open when you have that number of boss cells active during a run. That specific door is a 1BC door so you need to be on 1BC or higher to open it.

[@xdsmastermia]

Superconductor huh. Learned something new

[@xMelton1997]

The collector is not showing up in Boss rush? I'm using Netflix version it says v3.3 on Ipad

[@DisappointedGiant]

Check the right hand side of the boss rooms - there's a place you can roll through for 5BC boss and the Queen.

[@ghostgalaxy8313]

Is this mainly on console/pc? Mobile I don’t think has the collector after a boss rush run. Any thoughts?

[@DisappointedGiant]

That could be true. I'm not sure what version mobile is on right now since another team is working on those patches, but if it's not on mobile now it will be in the future.

[@31gundam]

Hey DG im haveing trouble with 3 bc regarding enemies and boss any idea what a good build is also good mutation builds i generally play brutality.

[@DisappointedGiant]

Hey, great question! IMO there are a few different ways to play brutality: ranged (throwing knives, firebrands, infantry bow), fast melee (balanced blade, blood sword, swift sword), and slow melee (flint, giantkiller, flawless). Those are just a few items from each style but depending on what you're doing my advice would change a bit. If you're playing fast melee I recommend things like Open Wounds, Melee, and Combo for Mutations since those benefit from lots of fast attacks. Slow melee I'd say Predator and Initiative would be good choices since enemies usually die in 1-2 hits with those weapons. If you're using skills like fire/powerful grenade or knife dance for skills Killer Instinct might be a good mutation choice, too. If you're using ranged brutality items things like Point Blank, Support (if you have a turret), and Tranquility will help get your damage up even though they're tactics mutations. Other good mutations that might help you survive are Disengagement, Gastronomy for the extra healing from food, and Vengeance for the times when you get hit. I do think it depends on the build you're using but if you're having trouble I would recommend finding a couple of items that feel good and then replacing those with higher quality ones later in the run, like if you have Fire Grenade III buying a Fire Grenade VIII later in the run so your build feels stable. Also, make sure you pump the forge! :D

[@DisappointedGiant]

PS, here's a link to the wiki if you're looking for any of those things I mentioned: deadcells.wiki.gg/wiki/

[@Farinhir]

I played around with mods for increased cell drop rates to experiment, but there is no replacement for just playing the game and learning to do it on your own. It will take time. It will be hard. Guess what, that is what builds skill. Playing again with a fresh save and no mods this time. Amazing how easy things get even with no real gear.

Thanks for your response being kind and inviting seems to me to be a great way to grow your community. Theese are good videos I've seen so far and I appreciate you

[@DisappointedGiant]

@@zackwilson6761 of course, happy to help! It sounds like you have the right shop blueprints for Reroll and Merchandise Categories, which is a step in the right direction. Something that might be helpful is to try to get status synergy on your weapons. An example of this is if you have the Throwing Knives (which inflicts the bleed status) and another item that has the "+60% bonus to bleeding" affix. You'll get more damage if you use the Throwing Knives to make something bleed and then hit it with the weapon that has the damage bonus. This is just one example, but it's a good idea to keep an eye out on those colors and symbols in the item descriptions so you can see if you can get extra damage with your build. You can reroll affixes between levels at the little guy after the Collector, so if you have something in mind you might be able to reroll an item to get that damage bonus. Synergy is a good way of bumping up damage. Like @Slugcat-with-a-GUN said, the training room is really good for practicing bosses (or regular enemies!). You can mess with weapons and synergy there, too, so it might be worth testing out some of what you have unlocked in the training room to see what fits.
