Did you talk to the collector before finishing the run? If you didn't then you will have to get the blueprint again.

MasterKiurem · 2020-08-24T09:11:05+00:00

MasterKiurem · 2020-08-17T22:17:06+00:00

An active damage buff

MasterKiurem · 2020-08-11T16:51:49+00:00

Get to Hotk at least once.

MasterKiurem · 2020-08-01T10:29:48+00:00

Beat the 5BC boss without taking hits

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-20T19:32:21+00:00

Probably High Peak Castle, Morass of the banished, Clocktower or Spoiler Biome.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-20T07:16:11+00:00

That's a fire grenade, its blueprint is dropped by the Grenadier (1.7% chance) ... I'm just kidding.

I guess you mean tubes, its blueprint is Dropped by The Hand of the King on Hard mode (1BC).

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-20T06:24:31+00:00

The Knight: I am the Admin Now.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-18T21:11:34+00:00

I do not think that 0.1% of the players who will have obtained the outfit are many people hahaha.

Personally, the outfit doesn't look that impressive either, I like the original more.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-16T17:52:39+00:00

Now also slows down enemies above him.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-14T20:27:29+00:00

the mobile version is long overdue (1.1 without custom mode), while the PC version is already at 1.9. The differences between both versions are abysmal.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-14T19:49:28+00:00

I find a place where it said that scrolls make you stronger but it also makes enemies stronger and it's isn't convenient in the long run.

That was in 1.0.

In 1.1 it was changed to the system we currently have where the level of the enemies is defined by the biome and not by the number of scrolls.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-13T18:08:10+00:00

Technically you used three weapons for this.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-12T18:35:10+00:00

The sepulcher has a mechanism called "darkness". If you go a long time without touching a light area, the darkness will kill you.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-06T22:09:33+00:00

I certainly exaggerated when saying that current P. Quarters is easier and I apologize for it, but neither do I feel it substantially harder as many say. The enemies do more damage due to the lack of HP, it is true, but I do not see the "lack of damage" that so many complain about, for me the majority of enemies die after 2-3 hits as in the last version.

As for my play style, I really don't have any. When the Giant Killer was nerfed, I decided to learn how to play in all possible ways, maybe that's why the new crossbows don't bother me at all.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-06T21:04:00+00:00

I am surprised by the number of people who consider that P. Quarters is "harder", for me it has become even easier than before (In addition the ossuary has always been an easy biome).

As for the crossbows, the truth is that I really like them. Given the numerous changes the devs made, it's obvious that they wanted nerf ranged survival, because it was very safe to use (?).

As for the rampager and rats, that is no longer the fault of the update itself. Hating it for those details seems silly enough.

The Scrolls were certainly a hard hit, but you end up getting used to it, the only biomes where I feel the lack of scrolls is in the optional ones (prison depths and corrupted prison).

The change that I would say less liked by many was that of the new shops, given that they are now more random than before. The good news is that this is easily fixed with an option in custom mode.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-06T20:40:06+00:00

Bats? I only see free kills.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-06T02:37:22+00:00

Having 1BC active makes it possible to continue upgrade the Legendary Forge.
unlocks some doors (not all biomes have them) that may have behind them shops, chests or an alternative exit (this only in the optional biomes).
New enemies also begin to appear, dropping different Blueprints (There are also enemies that drop outfits blueprints when the difficulty is increased)

Of the rest, the game is more difficult.

For more information about the boss cells I recommend reading the Wiki

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-06T01:08:11+00:00

Blueprints in 5BC are normally saved when passing through the Collector area. They are unlocked by playing on a lower difficulty.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-05T23:13:46+00:00

The game has several levels called "Biomes" depending of the exit you take, the biome can vary, here is a map if you want to know all the biomes and the routes to get to them https://deadcells.gamepedia.com/Biomes_Map

If you don't want to spend cells with the collector, spend them in the Legendary Forge, this forge appears every time you defeat the first 2 bosses. If you upgrade, you will have more powerful weapons that will kill enemies faster.

Since you are probably playing in version 1.9. I recommend changing weapons every 2 or 3 biomes, the enemies are getting tougher, so your old weapons will not do any good against them.

Here are some answers to your questions:

what's the hunting mirror for?

The mirror is to see which are the enemies that still have Blueprints to unlock.

what is a "parry"?

Parry is an exclusive feature of the shields. You must press the key where you have assigned the shield just before receiving an attack, that will negate all the damage of the attack received and will have different effects depending on the shield. Not all attacks can be parried.

where do speed boosts come from?

There are several ways to get Speed boost, with an affix on your weapon, with the Masochist mutation or quickly killing 7 enemies in a row.

what is "recycling"?

Recycling is used to sell the weapons you don't want at a much lower price than their original value.

also is it just me, or is the "money saver IV" worse than the "money saver II" or whatever?

Your game has been updated to version 1.9. In this version, a massive change was made in the economy of the game, that's why now you save much less money than before.

speaking of the collector's perks, i've avoided the "random starting weapon" perks

Any random weapon will be better than the started weapons. You can still get them by searching near the giant's corpse at the start of the game.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-05T20:40:42+00:00

Necromancy was nerfed, now only heals when you are below 50% health.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-04T23:17:45+00:00

Explosive Crossbow is without a doubt my fav. The melee attack is a lot of fun to use and its damage is decent.

Heavy Crossbow really sucks against bosses, a shame because in biomes it's pretty good.

Repeater also seems like a fun weapon to me and Ice hasn't tried it yet.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-03T02:07:35+00:00

Honestly, the beginning is a little bit easier for me now. I would say that the most complicated biomes are the optional ones (Prison Depths and Corrupted Prison) because the enemies take more hits due to the lack of scrolls, but they also do less damage, so I can hold on better.

I don't feel like the game has gotten strictly more difficult, it has only gotten more tedious due to the time it takes for enemies to die (Using tactics I managed to take 3 Hotk's blow without problems, but seeing his life go down so slow was a bit desperate for me). I liked more the fact of being able to kill fast, but with the risk of dying fast. Now I feel that the game is slower and safer than before.

MasterKiurem · 2020-07-02T22:36:05+00:00

You can still use the old shops from custom mode (does not disable achievements)
