The Beheaded: Your Protagonist's Journey
The Beheaded's journey in Dead Cells involves navigating various biomes and collecting resources. At the start of Prisoners' Quarters, a bag spawns containing gold from your previous run. The amount of gold is limited by your current Gold Reserves upgrade level; any gold exceeding this limit is lost.
Blueprints are vital for the Beheaded's progression, unlocking new Gear, Mutations, upgrades, and outfits. These can be acquired by defeating enemies, locating secret areas, or overcoming obstacles like keys, rune requirements, puzzles, or timed doors. Some blueprints are tied to Boss Stem Cell difficulty levels, meaning they might not appear on lower difficulties or require specific conditions met at higher BSC counts.
Upon finding a blueprint, the Beheaded must deliver it to the Collector during a biome transition. Cells are then used to unlock the blueprint. Once unlocked, the item can be found in subsequent runs, chosen from the Tailor, or bought from Guillain. Dying before delivering a blueprint results in its loss for that run.
