Walkthrough Dead Cells: Bad Seed

We offer you to familiarize yourself with a detailed guide to Dead Cells: Bad Seed, an add-on that was released on January 11 on Steam.

How to get to the Arboretum, Nest, and Exiled Swamp

The Bad Seed DLC for Dead Cells includes three new locations - a ruined arboretum, a nest, and an exiled swamp. All three territories have unique challenges. Also through them you can find an alternative way to the castle. Getting here is not easy.

If you want to get to the main boss of the expansion, which is hiding in the nest, below we explain how to do this. To get to the locations of the add-on, you will need a teleportation rune and a rose rune. Both items are picked up pretty early on, so you don't have to be a hardcore player with a thorough knowledge of the game.

Ruined arboretum

You can get in from the prison cells. Use the teleportation rune and then jump off the plant to get to the top of the spiked passage. The first time you go to the Arboretum, you will need to get the Old Arboretum Key. After using the rune of teleportation, find the dead body. The key that you need will fall out of it. The ruined arboretum is connected to three locations - Bastion (normal entrance), Core of the Prison (spider rune) and Bol??ta exiles (usual exit).

Swamps of Exiles

The fastest way to get there is to use the normal exit from the Ruined Arboretum. If you did not find it on one side of the map, then check the opposite from the starting door. An additional standard exit door leads to the Core of the prison. The bowels of the prison are connected to the Swamps of Exiles and the Crematorium. To get to the new location of the add-on, simply use the additional door at the exit. It does not require a special key or rune. From the Swamps of Exiles you can get to the Bastion and the Core of the prison.

Nest

Associated with the Swamps of Exiles. This is the only exit located at the far end. You will see him after three mini-boss battles and a strange altar. The Nest contains the main boss of the Bad Seed expansion. Defeating him will open the way to the Cemetery and the Village on Stilts. If you win, you will get another Boss Stem Cell.

How to beat the new boss (Mama Tick)

A battle with a massive enemy awaits you. He is much harder than the early bosses, but definitely weaker than the Giant or any of the later stages of the game. When an enemy appears, does it immediately attack you using its claws that appear from underground??. Just move around the area to avoid them. At first, the claws appear slowly. Your target is the eye. Maneuver to attack him.

Once you deal enough damage, the real boss will appear. The giant creature will spew out waves of explosive projectiles that can be dodged. Roll forward to avoid being hit. He will also use a forward lunge. It is enough to make a simple jump to evade this technique. If you need to stay in the air, use an attack.

Traps and ranged attacks will be extremely useful. When the enemy reappears, throw traps. Any one available will work. Any abilities that allow you to deal additional damage and critical hits will come in handy. Between spawns, the enemy will drop spikes. They are much more dangerous than they seem at first glance. Stand in a corner and wait for an exclamation mark warning to appear below you. If he doesn't appear below you, then just stand still and avoid the damage.
