The Lore & Story of Dead Cells (with ALL DLCs)

  • While the story of Dead Cells has never been its main focus, relying more on the “rule-of-cool” than a clear narrative, there is a ton of lore in the game that tells the story of how its Island Kingdom was ruined by the disease known as the Malaise. The game has seen the release of several DLCS - The Bad Seed, Fatal Falls, The Queen and the Sea, and Return to Castlevania - that have expanded that lore and story even further. Due to how much information there is, it can be difficult to see it all, so let’s put it all together here so we can see the full story of Dead Cells.
    Thanks for watching!

    It's kinda ironic that we play as the villain who only really cares about himself.
    The story is indeed a tragedy that is masked behind amazing gameplay & lore that takes a bit more effort to understand. But once you do you dont really see things the same.

    I have a theory:
    The malaise didn't start from the island, it started from OUTSIDE the island. My reasoning is because first it started from stilt village, which is the dock of the island and spreaded from there to everywhere else. What further strengthens my reasoning is the lighthouse ending being the world outside the island has already been infected by the malaise.

    I had a theory that the king's behavior is the same as who you see as Beheaded. Until i heard of Morass of the Banished. I thought it was basically just "some guy who's flaws are kinda funny and his self absorbness is comedic" to "a cruel and selfish king ready to sacrifice billions of lives for himself". And only ever because of a change in circumstance, the Malaise revealing the bad side of his bad side.

  • @cacovonluca
    @cacovonluca 23 дні тому +42

    Really amazing video! Just two things to mention...
    Firstly, what about the whole thing of the Queen and the Gardener's affair?
    • In the Delapidated Arboretum, the same lore with the couches, when you interact with one of them it reads the following messages: _"Gloves, a pitchfork... Maybe a courtier tried their hand at gardening? No, you wouldn't find one that would sit on such a shabby piece of furniture. Or wear this outfit. It seems the gardener had his entrances into the palace too."_
    • Also, another thing to notice is that one of the Gardener's Logs (one that you yourself read in the video) states the Queen's people don't recognize him anymore, which is weird... Why would the Gardener ever leave the Delapidated Arboretum? And most of all, why would he go all the way to the Queen's place? Hmmmmmmmmmm......
    Secondly, this us mostly a theory, but what about the whole "Time Keeper is the 4th Servant"?
    • Firstly, an analysis on them. The Servants each use a different type of weapon, Calliope uses a Survival-based weapon (Wrecking Ball), Euterpe uses a Tactics-based weapon (Gilded Yumi) and Kleio uses a Brutality-based weapon (Bladed Tonfas). The Time Keeper not only uses all of those three, but also her own magic, which maybe could count as a fourth weapon type, which the Beheaded is simply not able to perform since it don't require just skill, but knowledge (which, let's be honest here, the beheaded kinda lacks that). Also, about weaponry (thanks Cookie), in the room with the Queen's portrait we see a weapon rack with five weapons, but three of them are not present. Those three are the Gilded Yumi, Bladed Tonfas and Wrecking Ball. What are the two left? A sword and a dagger, the same weapons the Time Keeper uses.
    • Design-wise, all of them are women with yellow and white based outfits and all of them wear masks, tho it's good to notice that Time Keeper has a lot of blue, which can just be a contrast to the red clocktower, to represent her "ice" powers (proved by her blueprint drops of Ice Shards and Ice Crossbow).
    • Also, there's something really interesting here. The name of the Servants are the same name as three of the nine muses in Greek Mythology, thus the Time Keeper's real name could be any of the other muses (Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Urania, Erato, Thalia or Melpomene).
    • Another thing to notice is that Kleio uses a "frisbee-like" attack that's shown by a yellow beam of light, exactly like one of Time Keeper's attacks.
    • Lastly i just want to point out how "random" TTK is to the lore, like... You're telling me this girl randomly decided to play with time because of the Malaise? Nah, i think just like how the King granted the Astrolab to the Alchemist, he granted the Clock Tower to the Time Keeper as another person trying to find the solution for the cure to the Malaise. And it would also make sense for her to know the King, her being an ex-Servant (also, i always associated the colored rooms in the High Peak Castle to three of the main Malaise Scientists. The Green Room to the Gardener, the Blue Room to the Alchemist and, with this connection, the Red Room to the Time Keeper).

    A headcanon I wanna propose for how "stories" of other heroes gets involved in this world could be
    1) The Timekeeper messing with time created a nexus point that caused artifacts of other worlds to be dragged in.
    2) A alternate universe version Castlevania is canon in the world and it was the castle approaching the island that via Dracula's and Death's magic to "resist death", unintentionally combined with malaised messing up the dimensional stability of the island. (This is assuming that all DLCs take place at the same time and chronologically following their real life releases and we assume that the entire world hasn't been malaised and its just a majority of it. Good luck Belmonts)

    Good video, but theres some things you forgot about. The time keeper didnt just play with time randomly, she repeated the same day over and over again, to keep (infected) survivors, mainly the king, alive. Also the only reason the gardener went to the lighthouse was because he was good friends with the queen. This game has very good lore, but i think they couldve done it better. I like the way they did it, like youre not forced to understand it, but for those who want to try, they couldve made things a bit easier to piece together

    Wasn't there something in one of the loading screens about a rewritten line from Call of Cthulhu, stating that some sort of Elder God was involved in the story, and how it starting to wake up could have been the cause of the Malaise?

    • @SquatchGamingChannel
      @SquatchGamingChannel  20 днів тому +4

      That’s one of the blurbs for the Infested Shipwreck, and it translates to something “In his home at Dobor, dead Staphy waits dreaming.”
      The word “Staphy” is the replacement for Cthulhu in that sentence which would be the name of the Cosmic God. Staphy also calls to mind “staph infection” which seems to insinuate that there could be a connection to the Malaise. But since development on the game has stopped, we’ll never know if they intended to develop that thread further.
      However, the Leghuggers (and maybe Armored Shrimps?) are called “lil staphy” in the code, so the blurb seems more like it’s hinting at them rather than a cause of the Malaise. I mean, I guess they could be the cause, but we see that they lay eggs and hatch from a dead body instead of reanimating it from the dead, so doesn’t seem like they’re the cause. (Unless it’s one of those things where they brought the pathogen in with them, but we see no evidence of that in the game, so it’s all just speculation.)
      As an aside, I wish they developed that Staphy/Eldritch God thread further in another DLC rather than make Return to Castlevania, but I can’t blame them for making what they wanted to make and it’s out of my control (and never gonna happen now), so oh, well.

      And what kind of explanations would you rather seen towards the end?

    • @HaphazardousSpace
      @HaphazardousSpace 23 дні тому

      ​@@SquatchGamingChannel Well...
      Near 7:54 you said the apostates were part of the royal court, but the images you showed read to me as them simply being people that lived on the island and happened to be good at medical things, but were later banished to the shores. (do note that I have not played Dead Cells in a while so maybe there is evidence but you didn't show it)
      At 11:38 you mentioned an order to keep people in prison after they were proven to be healthy, although the dialogue only mentions them serving their time, which seems to me like it's just talking about prisoners being kept in prison for some time because that's how prison works in most places, people usually serve time in prison, then are freed. The king seems to just want people infected to stay there and not be freed, so they don't infect anyone else. If they were healthy, there would be no more need to keep them there than anyone else, really, although I guess they did start putting everyone else there too eventually.
      15:07 Why do you act as if infected animals came significantly later than prisoners ? Perhaps they simply were not focused on because they were more easy to get rid of and/or harder to notice/there were less of them. This "it was soon found" just feels a bit odd to me, you could have just mentioned that the Malaise was not limited to humans and that infected animals were still very dangerous.
      For 18:27 it could just be that the people using it... died...
      Also at 23:00 this isn't a case of too much speculation but I feel like the "day 1" repeat was hinting at a time loop which you did not go much in depths about despite it being required for special dialogues on replay from some people and everyone being brought back to life every day (perhaps also the tutorial knight stating that you were not the only one in the "you cannot die" situation).
      27:41 The alchemist claims that "some say" the sap is doing that, so he's taking some to try it out, I'm not too sure on the Ancient Basin connection but I guess both are orangeish.
      At 29:39 I don't actually remember much since it's been a while but wasn't it implied that the giant was killed after complaining about the alchemist to the king ?
      Other things:
      At 32:36 in 5BC you can have malaise infection though can't you ?
      At 33:48 you did not really explain how cells seemed to magically appeared in chests and all, seems you tried to say it like it just happened leaving only questions with no theory on how or why, same with Boss Stem Cells, which I mean could just be noncanon or something, same with the crossover weapons and skills.
      35:40 you didn't really explain the rune you gain there, which is kinda very important for 48:04
      43:20 you make it seem like the Giant cannot be fought before 4BC, you don't say it - and do imply that it's not needed by later talking about how something special happens at 4BC - but the way you tell the story is confusing.
      Also the end was a little... anticlimactic ? Like "ehh they fight the end", although I guess it's just how the game ends. Still, I would've liked for you to talk more about what this could mean and truly end.
      It just feels to me like the way you told the events of the game were a little too... I don't know, precise ? Like, on what exactly happens in a playthrough, with things that seem unnecessary to talk about, and not enough talking about what those events actually mean.
      Am I annoying complaining about too much speculation at times then asking for more speculation at other times ? (oops-)
      Oh, also, side note, this may seem like a lot but overall I'd say this video is really good.
      The editing especially, putting gameplay showcasing evidence for your claims in the background is just genius and I wish more people did similar things rather than trying to explain "so you see in this room here you can find this dialogue which says-", those take way too long to explain simple things but your format is very efficient.

    • @SquatchGamingChannel
      @SquatchGamingChannel  22 дні тому +1

      Wow, real thorough! I'll share my thoughts for each!
      7:54 - I can see that interpretation! My thinking came from the the line "The most senior of the King's medical advisors..." which suggests they were in the employ of the King. "Royal Court" probably wasn't the best words to use, but they did have an association with the King
      11:38 - To me, the message "even after they have served their time" means to not let any prisoners leave, period. Doesn't matter if they were healthy, sick, or their sentence expired - they were to be kept in Prison no matter what. There's also the Prisoner that mentions that he was healthy, but felt the need to break out of the Prison (you can see a clip around 09:46 of what I'm mentioning). He's not infected, but, suggested by the tally marks on the wall of the cell, he's been kept in Prison for looong time, most likely past the end of his sentence.
      15:07 - Guess it was just poor word choice!
      18:27 - Guess it was just poor word choice!
      23:00 - I wanted to keep the Time Shenanigans vague because when you scrutinize it more heavily, it kind of falls apart. Why do some people stay dead, like the King's Original Body or the Tutorial Knight, after a reset? Why doesn't the Homunculus King/Beheaded lose all his runes and Boss Cells and Items and whatnot after a reset? Why does the reset happen after going through the Fountain instead of after the Time Keeper warps away? Why can't the Time Keeper of the "Original Loop" reset that loop after the King drinks the Panacea and kills the Collector to try and find a way to stop him from doing that? Why can't she stop the King's Infection or prevent the further spread of the Malaise? Without a timeline of when she starts her work (besides "before the events of the game") and what the extent of her powers are, I thought it best to gloss over it and mention the loop stuff later.
      27:41 - That's a case of when I use "seem" to frame it a possibility instead of definite thing. Plus, I feel the implication is pretty strong from the game in that regards.
      29:39 - Not that I've seen. In that lore room, it just says "I don't know what happened between him and the King..." so it doesn't say for sure. The Giant gives us the best idea in the dialogue I showed. But happy to be corrected if that's the case!
      32:36 - Yup! It used to happen on lower BC difficulties too. I figure that's not the King (as in the Homunculus form) being infected, but the body he inhabits. Or something like that
      33:48 - That's because there's nothing out there about it!
      35:40 - Ah, true! Although, it is weird that the King gets that ability only after he keeps his first run, isn't it?
      43:20 - Good point! I guess I could have taken some time to talk about the Giant fight when I was talking about how the Island changed, eh?
      Are you genuinely asking me? I would say No, you're not being annoying. First of all because I asked you, and secondo f all you're obviously passionate about this and seeing your excitement about it is great to see! :)
      Happy to hear you enjoyed! Like I said in the video, I'm not perfect so the video isn't perfect, but I did the best I could!
      Awesome to hear you like the editing. Sometimes I worry that I'm approaching these types of videos the wrong way since I don't do the style you mentioned (the whole "so this letter says, 'blah blah blah' which we can take to mean yada yada yada" style), but I've always like to back up my words with evidence, so this style seemed natural to me. I haven't always been perfect with that, straying way to far into speculation sometimes (just watch my Risk of Rain story summary video for an example!), but always try my best to share what these stories are about.
      Thanks for the chat, man! Enjoyed talking with you! And thanks for watching!

      Thank you, Darkblu! Happy to hear you enjoy them so much!
      As for the games:
      1. I actually have a script and lots of shots recorded for a video on Iconoclasts. I even recorded audio at one point last year, but it got corrupted, so I had to scrap it and I haven’t gone back to it since. It’s on the backlog though, and I’ll probably make a video on it sooner or later!
      2. I’ve never heard of Genopanic. I took a look at it, and I really like the look of it! I don’t think I’ll ever make a video on it, but I might play it at some point!
      3. I’ve thought about doing the Axiom Verge games, but there’s not a lot of requests for them, so I haven’t started the process.
      Thanks for the requests, Darkblu! I can’t get to all of them, but I do keep them in mind when deciding which games to make videos on!

    I think that part with crossovers and Castlevania doesn't beling to lore, they probably havent thought about them in lore terms. But what about the end is that time keeper probably send an alternate king to kill the original one, so he wont interrupt her work ressurecting timeline with panacea in it.

    • @SquatchGamingChannel

      Sure, but if I didn’t include it, I couldn’t say the video includes all the DLCs! Besides, I feel like it slots in pretty well/inconsequentially!
      I could see that as a possibility, but I think it’s just the Alternate King going through the Island like normal. He just meets the King instead of the Hand at the end.

      Yeah, the story hasn’t fundamentally changed, so if you’ve watched the old stuff, this won’t include anything groundbreaking. But it does put everything in order while adding new stuff. I guess you could call it a “Definitive Edition” of sorts.

    What build is that in the Dracula fight, that was disgusting damage

    • @SquatchGamingChannel
      @SquatchGamingChannel  15 днів тому

      It revolves around the Oiled Sword and Fire Grenade.
      You hit them with the Oiled Sword to apply Oil stacks on the enemy. Throw the Fire Grenade to set the Oil on fire. Now attacks with the Oiled Sword do Crits for ten seconds. The reason why the damage is so high is because the Oiled Sword I had did double damage to a target that was covered in Burning Oil which synergized perfectly with the whole build, allowing for massive damage.
      The other two items (shield and infantry grenade) could be swapped out with your own preference of items.
      Not sure how viable the build is on higher difficulties (usually use Tactics for those runs). Really only played with it on 0BC. In theory, would still be devastating.

I think I should try once and for all that dead cells game that requires being skillful more than op your...
    Well there I am playing again but I accidentally confided in myself XD
    Something that doesn't quite fit me about the closing is the timekeeper, seriously, did her participation only reach that far? It sounds like another lore to me, but what's going to be done...
    By the way, I don't know if you are interested in doing a Story Explained to a game called Vigil the longest Night. I think it will be very interesting for you to tell it because it has beginnings and endings with magnificent lore (you could say another 2D blooborne ) We will patiently wait for your next project, whether I haven't played it or played it, I think knowing some story explained invites the uninitiated to play it if they like it.....

      I've never heard of Vigil: the Longest Night. I took a quick look, and it looks like it's a game that would interest me (I love metroidvanias), but can't promise a video on it. For making videos, it's never been a issue of desire for me, but of time. I don't have a lot of free time, and have even less nowadays (I have a day job plus all my familial obligations), so I can't get to everything I'd like to. I'll keep Vigil in mind and if I ever get time, I'll tackle it! Thanks for the suggestion/request! Really appreciate it! :)
