  • @Grey-The-Skeleton
    @Grey-The-Skeleton 4 роки тому +603

    Tips:
    -Roll through the dashes.
    -Destroying the banners with a groundpound makes it easier.
    -BRING A WOLFTRAP.
    -Whenever he spawns enemies, make sure to make them fall from their platforms. This deals huge damage to them.
    -Don't be afraid to use the side platforms, but be sure to have another one ready at all times.
    -Weapons that make you hover if used in the air (Such as the Magic Missle.) are a saving grace. Grab'em if you can.
    UPDATE:
    I have now defeated THOTK with one Boss Cell. Here's my advice:
    -Bring a Rampart. If you can parry the first hit of any combo, you can slash him down while the forcefield is active.
    -Bleeding, Poisoned, and On Fire are amazing against him. His health melts if the effects are applied properly. Reforging gear so that attacks poison enemies is a good move.
    -Swarm is a pretty nice way of getting extra DPS, since his Triple-Slash is too high to hit the Biters
    -Anything that deals damage over time (Like the Crusher, Saws, Biters, Etc...) is a nice way of dealing damage while being able to focus on parrying and dodging.
    -When he spawns enemies, DO NOT KILL ELITES. If the elites are dead, THOTK will come back and continue the fight, even if other enemies are alive.
    -If you have enough gold to do it, reset your mutations and pick some like Open Wounds, Dead Inside, Vengeance, and others. Dead Inside is VERY GOOD.
    -During your run, focus on one type of scrolls only (I recommend Survival), and try to use weapons with this color. L weapons can be picked no matter what. If you get a scroll that doesn't let you pick your main stat, pick the one that'll give you the highest health increase (Survival>Brutality>Tactics). In the High Peak Castle, try to focus on health if your damage is high enough to kill enemies from behind without getting attacked.
    That's it for now. See ya for 2 Boss Cells!
    I finished 2BC AND 3BC, so I guess it's time to continue.
    -Shields are already very useful against him, but couple that with Blind Faith, and you get a 13.5~ seconds cooldown bonus on your skills by parrying the Triple-Slash.
    -Burst damage skills are pretty good against both THOTK and the Elites, since an Elite Slasher in the middle of a boss battle can be catastrophic. The Giant Whistle can kill the Elite Slasher in the Castle in one hit, and the Elites against THOTK as well.
    -I highly recommend taking every single cursed chests and challenge rifts you can find, even the riskiest ones. Colorless weapons can be a blessing, especially if it's a colorless/legendary Rampart and you're on Brutality or Tactics. And even if the Colorless weapon is bad, you still get cells, Power Scrolls, and amulets, so go for it.
    I'm on my way to beat the Giant on 4BC now. Wish me luck!
    Ok, I killed the Giant AND THOTK on the same run, thus unlocking 5BC. My Giant Whistle dealt 100000+ per use, t'was an insane run.
    For the 5th BC, I recommend this path:
    Promenade of the Condemned > Ramparts > Insufferable Crypt/Black Bridge > Slumbering Sanctuary > Cavern > Guardian's Haven > High Peak Castle > Throne Room.
    Now let's kick the Spoiler boss' ass!
    I did it today, and it was amazing.
    Here are some overall tips for 5BC runs:
    -This route is the most reliable I know: Toxic Sewers > Corrupted Prison > Ramparts > Black Bridge > Stilt Village > Clock Tower > Clock Room > High Peak Castle > Throne Room > Spoiler Biome > Spoiler Boss Area.
    -DO NOT USE MONEY ON SHOPS UNLESS:
    -Your balance will be above 20000, thus allowing you to buy a potion if necessary.
    -If you're at the Clock Tower / High Peak Castle.
    Sure, shop items are good, but they are so because this money is VERY valuable, it would be wiser to save it for a well needed flask charge.
    -Running Dead Inside + What Doesn't Kill Me during the Spoiler Biome is a good way of staying at constant health while being able to take a few hits from the insane enemies there, I recommend doing this with Blind Faith and a Tonic for better results.
    -Take your time, make an attack plan, there's no rush. (This tip was written pre-Malaise rework.)
    -Time Doors are not worth all the stuff you'll miss by zooming carelessly through biomes, so aim for those sweet sweet 60 flawless kills instead.
    -If you jump into a fight, either end victorious or die trying, fleeing is NOT an option anymore.
    I will come back if I have new tips to share. Good luck, beheadeds.
    Hey! Soooo, this edit was made in January 2022, I'm just here to inform whoever would read this that I have a Twitch channel on which I regularly stream games on weekends! I can stream Dead Cells, though I do not have the new third DLC yet. I do Enter the Gungeon, Terraria, Dark Souls III, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, and soon Elden Ring when it releases! Although, be wary, my PS4 Pro also likes to join the convo with a lot of loudness and so do my birds, so be ready for that at twitch.tv/greytheskeleton!
    (I am really not sure if it's a good idea to sort-of advertise myself in here, so if you don't like it, please do tell me. I'll be quick to remove it.)
    When I get the DLC, I'll put tips for the Queen in this comment!

    Your know this theme really summarise of the who the hand of the king is, the music starts slow with whispers ether of the king or the hand own doubt to his master way, then it starts slow and rhythmatic bieng something of someone who tired and as the theme continue getting faster it follows the same beat of someone who is with unflinching loyalty and despite the evidence to his king he still belive his master was in right in saving the island, theme continued like this but still highlights the Nobel soul that was the hand till he fell or deafted the intruder and is alone once more with the wispers.
    This theme is almost the opposite when it comes to the giant as the giant is more emotional while the hand is almost stale in any feelings heck he doesn't even mind if the food taste rotten only worrying if it up to quality to his men and his boss.
