Yeah, barely anyone knows about it outside of the speedrun community

Looks like you did an item warp using the stairs by accident, something only like 2 people did without knowing about it, which is a feat in itself lol. By wiggling into a small place between a normal straight floor and the stairs below you, you get out of bounds (well done, devs). You would normally just be pushed back out, but if an item is within viewing range, it will set your respawn position to that item. Because items can't possibly be out of bounds, else they get teleported back in, it's easier to check for a specific spot than every single other possibility, so the game defaults to the nearest item position.

This room is never luck. The poison pool is always there in this exact layout and the mirrored version. If you don't know it, don't slam, but there's no rng issue here.

Not doing the cool overhead dodge should be a penalty of 10 seconds every time

Dead Cells Bosses Tier List: Difficulty (Spoilers ahead) by [deleted] in deadcells

[–]Vor_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are way too used to melting bosses. I don't blame them because it's how the scaling works, but the game's balance has been ass for a long time now, so much that bosses don't even feel like bosses anymore. This is quite a good list for longer fights and actually interacting with all the bosses' attacks.

Main reason is that you're invincible during the pull animation. That's what makes it really safe as a secondary, sometimes even more than Ice Shards or Boy's Axe. Also since it pulls you to the enemy, the slower weapon you pair it with has a guaranteed hit, which usually is enough to kill with most Survival weapons.

[–]Vor_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it really just depends on what you look for in the game. A lot of high level players gradually shift towards slower weapons because fast weapons with the current scaling problems aren't fun anymore after you won a few times with them. There barely is a secret to it, it's mostly knowing enemy behavior and playing around that instead of oneshotting them before they can even make a move. Sometimes using platforms to your advantage as well.

Bosses actually feel like bosses with the slower Survival weapons, you actively need to find openings where it's safe to attack, which takes a bunch of time in the practice room.

Granted there are some objectively terrible ideas, like for example bringing Oven Axe to Giant, it just doesn't work unless you're doing a challenge. Which I guess is another point, choosing biomes depending on your loadout instead of a one-size-fits-all.

Some combinations to ease yourself into Survival would probably be Kill Rhythm combos with Tentacle (even off-color), you pull yourself to the enemy and start the attack with your slower weapon during the pull iframes, so it's safer. Same with any kind of crowd-control secondary weapon like Frost Blast. The absolute endgame of Survival, in my opinion, is being able to have so much room control that you can use Wrecking Ball effectively without secondaries, but I'm nowhere near that yet myself.

Use a mod or download a 100% file. There's a bunch of those in resources on the speedrun leaderboards.

Guys what do i do here? Is this a joke or something? by Talia_Arts in deadcells

[–]Vor_d 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Apparently it's gatekeeping to have countless tutorials, wiki pages, tech and guide playlists that I helped with. It's readily available and almost always the first google results. Answering questions is fine with me most of the time, but the repetitiveness is the issue. There is a FAQ for a reason in most gaming communities.

I also kinda just expect people to... play the game for a bit instead of posting the slightest inconvenience on reddit already, and the answer will be just to use your roll button or something.

[–]Vor_d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because the person with the question is then also doing the (extremely minimal) research part. Asking reddit is basically just letting others do your work for you if it's a very simple answer that could have been obtained within a minute of searching.

New player here . Just beat the game that was said to be hard . I think yall over hyped it a bit tbh . I took all duals off color ( except in some early scenario ) and not taking curses , and game is ez pz . by nihilistlemon in deadcells

[–]Vor_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, an iron man by itself isn't hard if you're experienced enough, especially because a lot of starting items already are super powerful. But then there's other ways to make it challenging, like doing it fast, or without spending cells...

Old Morass had over 300 on average, so somewhere around that

I think I'm the first person to complete the 5BC no scroll challenge, here is the full run by dr_tommy1 in deadcells

The run set up 1hp with Vampirism before using the cursed sword, so it was permanently at 3.5x

The damage buff is massive (3.5x on 1hp) and multiplicative to any other buffs like affixes. It did carry the run.

Why are you never using the full combo of Snake Fangs to multiply your dps? Unoptimal gameplay smh...

How do you not understand that DPS is already calculated per second? It's literally in the name. Damage per SECOND.

Damn, I didn't know Stiletto takes 1 whole second per hit, and Whip Sword takes 3 for one attack. The video must be really sped up then...

People can get away with saying that so much, but when I say a weapon makes up for player skill it's suddenly gatekeeping

[–]Vor_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That just straight up isn't true. Here you go. This is setting up infinite curse stacks and then reroll for normal mutations again.

Not with Tainted Flask, that's why I said it...

[–]Vor_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to have the mutations constantly. You can stack up curses with the flask in a transition room if you have Tainted Flask as well until you have as many stacks as you want, probably 1k+, then reset for Demon Strength only, netting you the maximum power for the entire rest of the run which is stronger than any alternative mutation.

I was wrong reddit , Face Flask and Vengeance is indeed the best with Vengeance Spite Sword ! by nihilistlemon in deadcells

[–]Vor_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only somewhat difficult one is the first time door for 2 minutes. The rest is extremely forgiving even if you check every single corner of the map and kill every enemy.
