The Throne Room Approach — Dead Cells Walkthrough

As you approach the Throne Room, managing your health and resources becomes critical. Food items are essential for recovery, but their effects can vary based on difficulty and infection status. Understanding how food works and where to find clean sources is key to a successful run.

  • Food Types: There are two functional types of food: minor and major. Each has 7 different appearances based on your selected diet (Carnivore by default).
  • Malaise on Hell Difficulty: On Hell difficulty, infected food can add Malaise. Minor food adds 50 points (1 bar), while major food adds 150 points (3 bars).
  • Guaranteed Clean Food: Each biome will always have one clean piece of food dropped from an enemy. Another guaranteed clean piece of food can be found in a wall rune.
  • Infected Food on 5 BSC: On 5 Boss Stem Cells (BSC) difficulty, all food drops from lore rooms and other sources (excluding the guaranteed clean drops) will be infected with Malaise.
