    Excellent video. Best in class quality.
    One nit in the improbable case no one has said it: "panacea" is pronounced "panna sea uh". It's an English word so any online dictionary will do it justice if my text hasn't.

      Yes, it's been mentioned once or twice. Lol. It was a good thing to learn and it's always a good day when you learn something new! I've since learned my lesson and corrected the pronunciation for my subsequent videos on Dead Cells. Thanks for taking the time to share the correct pronunciation with me! Really appreciate it!

    It still surprises me to this day that the beheaded is actually a king who also happens to be arrogant and controlling......
    You expect that after reclaiming his body, he would try to fix his kingdom but no he wants to keep himself entertained by fighting his own physical copy.
    He is honestly Deadpool crazy yet comedic in a dark way...

    It appears to me that, originally,the king meant to help and save his kingdom.
    But eventually fell to dispair, and thus did the only thing he could.
    Exercise authority and controll.
    This obviously lead to his downfall, destroying himself even into a blobby mass. And thats when his journey begins.
    However,its not a redemption journey.
    He actually looses more and more of his humanity, begins to see the world literaly as a game for himself to play.
    Enabled buy the collector and the time guardian's misshaps, he of corse becomes arrogant and uncaring.
    Andcwhen he finally reclaims his body and the solution to the plague, thus ending the near endless loop hes been living for possabily millenia, he understandably gets bored.
    And in the end, welcomes back the looping hell he used to go through, ignoring and forgetting about his people,the plague and the world.
    Cause if youre eternal, all that eventually matters is how to entertain yourself throughout this eternalness.

The implication seems to be that the King was so desperate to save his life after his own infection by the Malaise that he went to the Alchemist for help, and turning him into a homunculus was the only solution he had.
      The apostates performed their own research on the cells and it's all but stated that the homunculi are the end-result of that research.

    Idk if i can blame the king. He was only human and he fell into despair. The Giant himself said they looked up to him before. So in my eyes the situation was so dire that the King had little to no options left and was seen as the bad guy. Sure he made a few bad decisions but that only happened because of the pressure which caused his growing paranoia.

    Dead Cells has such an awesome visual design that even its more mundane elements lead us to an f fascinating setting. I once wrote a similar video to this, but sadly never finished it. Some of the ideas I had:
    - there was an attempt to creat a man/plant hybrid in the kingdom, as seen in High Peak Castle, but don't know why. Maybe the King got greedy and wanted a new army? The dejects of those experiments coupled with the sap resulted in the water's contamination and the Malaise
    - the Conjuctivius is a pure brethren of the Malaise
    - the Time Keeper messing with Time is also taking its toll in space, hence the darkness mechanic in the Sepulcher
    Some unanswered questions:
    - why has the King's mind been put into an amorphous blob?
    - who's the spider lady protecting the Sepulcher? If there's a Time Keeper, maybe a Space Keeper?
    - what happened to the King? The Giant shows quite the resentment for how he turned from a beloved ruler to a royal jerk

      @@ahmadMacoofficialchannel Heya, might be a bit late for me to respond to this. Thing is, dead cells builds up difficulty a LOT and dark souls kinda just fucks you over and keeps you around that stage of difficulty, maybe increasing, but definitely not as drastically as dead cells.
      So what the other guy said it's actually kinda understandable, in dark souls once you get used to it and after tens of hours, probably going into a hundred you'll be able to breeze through the game fairly nicely, all be it still difficult. While in dead cells it will take you easily over 100-150 hours just to get to the most difficult point and dead cells is a LOT more chaotic than dark souls. Thing is, if you can't keep track of every little detail in dead cells you are dead, while in dark souls it's kinda just knowing your timings and the boss attacks, that's where the difficulty debate becomes problematic.
      Dark souls - few enemies, but difficult
      Dead cells- hordes of enemies, varying attacks, a bit less difficult for each one.
      Also keep in mind it's not like you can space out the tons of enemies, they all teleport after you. If you haven't played up to 5BC I'd recommend going to watch someone play it, it's absolute madness. Oh and also, dead cells is more punishing, you basically don't get to heal aside from your starting pots for the entire run, so while individual fights may be easier each mistake costs you a lot more, since you're not resetting the chamber, you're on the edge of resetting an entire run.

I watched this video and that was that I went ahead and bought the game and I loved it. In fact, I have all the DLC for the game.

    In some lore zones when the beheaded interacts with objects, the text box will have different colors, like red for anger, yellow/orange for reading another’s words or reading a note and etc. so he might have another problem there, either another mental condition or a side effect of his constant deaths.

    There's one question that still remains unanswered for me, though I don't know if it's even related to the story: It's been a while but after beating the game for the first time there were some changes in the sewer biome. I'm talking about a giant unknown creature that hatched out of a giant "egg" or something, destroyed parts of the sewers and broke through the walls roaming free across the island. The protagonist even says, if I remember correctly, something like: "Whatever this is. I hope I'll never encounter it." Maybe this thing is one of the bosses or part of something in the future, but I really don't know what that thing was.
