Honestly that interaction with the zombie is probably the most kind thing the headless has done for one of his citizens since the outbreak.

That are some hefty spoilers man. You gotta remind yourselves that Most of the dead Cells Community has No Idea of smth Like that. It'll only cause confusion. (Spoilers) Yes they we're His Citizen, but theyre infected and mutated trying to kill everything coming Close. But i also agreed that Prisoner Bobby or the beheaded is an antihero.

[@Kranon]

Also, if you're a newcomer there's this new "Assist mode" that can help you have an easier time, think of it as training wheels while you rack up "Boss Cells" (you get a BC after completing the game in a single run), you get further BC's by completing the game on harder and harder difficulties, so there's definitely a difficulty curve there. Be prepared.
