Learn how to get the Teleportation Rune in Dead Cells' Toxic Sewers, detailing enemies, rewards, and timed doors.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon entering The Toxic Sewers for the first time, an NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) will appear behind bars, hinting at a new rune to find.
  2. 2
    Navigate the level, avoiding poison pools and dealing with enemies like Zombies, Undead Archers, Scorpions, Disgusting Worms, and Kamikazes.
  3. 3
    Locate and defeat the Elite Slasher, which guards the Teleportation Rune. Use movement-halting items like Ice Grenades or Wolf Traps to your advantage.
  4. 4
    After defeating the Elite Slasher, collect the Teleportation Rune and any cells dropped.
  5. 5
    Collect all Scrolls of Power and Dual-Stat Scrolls within the level.
  6. 6
    Check shops and chests for better equipment.
  7. 7
    Find the level exit to The Ramparts or use the secondary exit.
Tips
  • The Toxic Sewers is generally easier than The Promenade of the Condemned due to the absence of Runners.
  • Climbable vertical pipes are present; look for them to access new areas.
  • Be cautious of green poison pools scattered throughout the level, as they inflict damage over time.
  • Disgusting Worms release small explosive bombs upon death; roll away quickly after defeating them.
  • Scorpions hide underground and attack with melee or a charging poison shot; dodge their shots or use ranged weapons.
  • Kamikaze bats explode on proximity; prioritize killing them quickly, ideally with a single hit.
  • The Elite Slasher can be stunned with Ice Grenades or Wolf Traps, allowing for significant damage. Dodge its powerful attacks.
  • The Teleportation Rune allows you to activate obelisks to travel to other map sections, potentially leading to extra rooms or secondary exits in certain levels.
