How to Beat The Black Bridge

The Black Bridge is a biome where players will face the boss, The Concierge. Bosses in Dead Cells have a set order of blueprint drops, often starting with outfits obtainable at 1+ Boss Stem Cells (BSC), then 2+ BSC, 3+ BSC, and finally 4+ BSC. Defeating a boss at a higher difficulty than specifically required for its next blueprint drop will still only yield one blueprint—the next in sequence—provided the minimum BSC level for that blueprint is met.

Blueprints are used to unlock new Gear, Mutations, upgrades, and outfits. They can be acquired by defeating enemies, or by finding them in secret areas that may be hidden, blocked by keys, require runes, involve puzzles, or are behind timed doors. Some blueprints are restricted by Boss Stem Cells, meaning they might not drop at lower difficulty levels, or the necessary items, enemies, or pathways are only available at specific Boss Stem Cell difficulties. Additionally, 42 blueprints are not dropped by enemies or bosses; these are found in secret areas, at the end of puzzles, inside timed doors, in rune-exclusive areas, locked doors, or as rewards for completing a certain number of Daily Runs.
