Try this: pouring all but one of the required Cells into several new Blueprints, leaving a roster of them just a step away from being unlocked. However, there's a flipside to the above. I've unlocked quite a bit of dross from early, scattergun play, and now I'm seriously considering a total do-over in which I grab only the stuff that doesn't make me sigh. Limit it just to the stuff you know you truly want, and pour your Cells into global unlocks, such as more health potions, reserved gold or, especially, Mutations instead. In the early hours, though, my advice is to not unlock every new Blueprint you find just because it's there. Sure, later on, once you're a pro, you'll want to experiment with all sorts of stuff and keep on your toes rather than have the same experience every time. If you have a favoured build (for me, it's an Ice Bow with a high DPS blade) but you unlock a load of Blueprints, all you're doing is reducing the chance that your next run will begin with gear you actually want. short-range bows, swords that do crits after a roll. The trouble is that a great many of Dead Cells' gizmos have specific functions - e.g. Conventional wisdom has it that increasing the range of weapons, shields and traps available to you by finding and then buying blueprints is all to the good. Well, depends on how you want to play / how long you've been playing. Unlocking new stuff is the best, right? Wrong. These days I split my vote far more, trying do cack-handed impromptu maths about which attributes to increase in which order to attain the maximum boost. I wish I hadn't spent so many runs blindly increasing brutality time after time, unaware that those 15% damage boosts were making my enemies more devilish. In other words, using a scroll isn't the great idea it appears to be. This is doubly true for bosses, who can't be murdered with anything like the ease of a normal mob. Before long, the increase in enemy damage output exceeds your hitpoint gain, and you become horribly fragile. The vagaries of this is that stacking scrolls (presuming you stay the course of Brutality, Tactics or Survival as your main weapon) generally means that your damage dealt exceeds your foes' hitpoint growth, Keep it up, and pair with a tasty, smartly-upgraded weapon and you'll be one-hit-murdering most dudes eventually.īut, as we all already know, every time you use a scroll to increase Brutality, Tactics or Survival, you permanently reduce the hitpoint boost you'll get from the same attribute subsequently. Finding the line is thus bloody hard - you want to be tougher, but you're making the game tougher.

Every time you activate a scroll and revel in those boosts, every subsequent enemy gets their hitpoints and damage amplified too.

Here's the bad news: they're not all they're cracked up to be. Scrolls are everyone's best friend - a big boost to the attribute (and, in turn, weapon) of your choice, and a chunky blob of new hitpoints too. Because of the way unlocks work in Dead Cells, there's a few particular things I wish I knew from the off - to the point that I'm even toying with a total restart. I've learned a lot by now (and I've got even more left to learn), and my runs are very different to my early, faltering ones. Like all the best 'vanias, Dead Cells doesn't tell you much, content instead to let you dash yourself against its rocks time and again until realisation - or reflex - takes hold.
