|
Note that Single-State Scrolls () come with items themselves, as a ++ rank item contains one of them, and an S rank item contains two of these scrolls.
Cells[editedit source]
Cells are one of two currencies in Dead Cells, together with gold. Surviving to the end of a level lets the player spend any cells he has collected, but dying in a biome will lose them all cells.
Cells can drop from slain enemies and looted chests. Capsules of cells may also spawn within certain biomes.
Cells can be spent either at The Collector's in each transition biome, on upgrades or blueprints; or at The Blacksmith's Legendary Forge after each boss biome, to upgrade the chance of finding better quality items. These upgrades are permanent and persist through all playthroughs for that save file.
Specials[editedit source]
Dead Man’s Bag[editedit source]
A bag that spawns at the start of Prisoners' Quarters. It contains some of the gold from your last run. The value depends on your current level of Gold Reserves.
Residual Cells[editedit source]
A bag that spawns next to the Dead Man's Bag if you defeated the Hand of the King with some leftover cells. It contains those leftover cells from the previous run for you to use on the next one. If you don't pick up this bag, the cells in it will be lost.
Scroll Fragments[editedit source]
They can be picked up from Scroll Fragments Altars, which are generated in most non-boss biomes in 3BC and above. A number of scroll fragments are also dropped by killing bosses (3BC and above). Collecting four of them allows you to upgrade one of your three stats.
Liposuction[editedit source]
A rare pickup that produces one extra cell on every kill for 45 seconds, even if the enemy doesn't normally drop cells. It randomly drops from enemies, but the exact chance is unknown.
Cough Syrup[editedit source]
Reduces Malaise infection levels by 30%. Can be bought at food shops.
Bonus Point Stars[editedit source]
These blue stars are found in Daily Run courses. They give a 5-point bonus for each enemy killed while the blue star effect is active (15 seconds). Finding and using these stars properly to kill as many enemies as possible while the bonus is active is key to getting high scores in daily runs.
Secret Potion of ???[editedit source]
Dropped from The Collector (Boss). During the 3rd time he drinks the Panacea, if attacked by player he will be interrupted and drop the bottle. It replaces the health flask temporarily if picked up. Drinking it grants player a significant boost on attack and defense.
Keys[editedit source]
Unlike most pickups, keys are not used when they are picked up. Instead, they are added to the player's inventory, so they can be used later to open their respective doors. Keys remain in the player's inventory for the rest of the run if not used on the appropriate door. Unused keys disappear upon death or at the end of a successful run.

Reaching all four of these locations in a single run requires having 3 active BSC and passing through the 3-cell door leading from the Ramparts to the Insufferable Crypt.
