Trophy list in Dead Cells Dead Cells Guide

Last update: 21 August 2018

On this page you will find a list of all the achievements that can be unlocked in Dead Cells. There are 53 achievements in the PC and the Xbox One versions of the game, and the PS4 version offers 54 trophies (1 platinum, 1 gold, 11 silver and 41 bronze). Each trophy in our guide has a description of the requirements for unlocking it. Some achievements with more complicated procedures are described on separate pages of the guide.

General information concerning the achievements in Dead Cells

  1. Getting a platinum trophy in Dead Cells is very challenging. At least a few of the trophies require great reflexes and skills, especially those awarded for defeating bosses without receiving any damage or finishing the game on higher difficulty levels. Another challenge is that in case of defeat, you will have to restart the game without your current equipment.
  2. You cannot miss any achievement. Death is a normal thing in Dead Cells, but you should obviously try to lose as few blueprints and cells as possible.
  3. Dead Cells doesn't feature a multiplayer mode. All trophies are obtained in a solo campaign.
  4. Obtaining achievements for boss fights is easier if you copy your saves before the fights. This is only possible on PC and PS4 - if you happen to die, you can reload the game and fight again. Use this method only later in the game, when you have more blueprints and permanent upgrades.
  5. It's hard to estimate how much time is required for obtaining all trophies. A lot depends on your performance. If you want the Platinum, however, then we're probably talking a few hundred playthroughs and a few dozen hours with the game.

A Room with a View!

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: Reach the Ramparts.

Notes: It's a simple trophy. The Ramparts, in other words the castle walls, can be reached from the Promenade of the Condemned. You don't have to possess any runes to be able to get there.

Note: A detailed description of how to unlock this trophy can be found in the next section of this walkthrough.

Afraid of the Dark?

Trophy type: bronze - Trophy list in Dead Cells - Trophy Guide - Dead Cells Game Guide

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: Reach the Forgotten Sepulcher.

Notes: Access to this location is initially blocked. There are several different ways leading to it, but the first time you can get to it is when you acquire the Teleportation Rune (see the description of the What Are You Rubbing At Anyway? achievement).

After you get the teleportation rune, start exploring the Stilt Village, where you have to find the Village Key. Once you have it, get to the underground, interact with the sarcophagus ( teleportation rune) and use the key to open the door in the underground (an example of this type of door is shown on the picture above - the layout of corridors is always random). The newly unlocked passage will allow you to reach the entrance to the dungeon of Forgotten Sepulcher.

Note - Do not use the Village Key at the very end of the map, because in that case you will be moved to the Clock Tower instead. There's only 1 key to be found in the whole village, and as a result you can only gain access to one of the two aforementioned locations.

Other ways to get to the Forgotten Sepulcher are by going through a passage in either the Slumbering Sanctuary or the Graveyard. However, both of these locations can only be visited after you have acquired the Spider Rune.

Arriba, Arriba! Andale, Andale!

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: Open your first timed door.

Trophy type: bronze - Trophy list in Dead Cells - Trophy Guide - Dead Cells Game Guide

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: Reach the Throne Room.

Notes: The Throne Room is the final location of Dead Cells, where the duel with the boss The Hand of the King is fought. The throne room is accessible from the High Peak Castle. When exploring the castle, you must have at least two Keys to the Castle and find a place to use them (an example of this type of location is shown on the picture - the layout of corridors and rooms is always random). Each key is in possession of an elite monster/-s and this means you'll have to fight at least two demanding battles.

Blade Master

Trophy type: brown - Trophy list in Dead Cells - Trophy Guide - Dead Cells Game Guide

Trophy type: brown

How to unlock: You have to defeat The Time Keeper boss.

Clock Room

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: Reach the Clock Room.

Notes: It's one of the more accessible locations in Dead Cells and does not require you to possess any runes. By default, you can reach the Clock Room from the Clock Tower. There's a second main boss of the game waiting for the player in the Clock Room - The Time Keeper.

As an alternative way to the Clock Room, you can also reach it from the Forgotten Sepulcher. You have to rely on this option if you've used the key to open the door in the basement (instead of those next to the elevator at the end of the map) in Stilt Village.

Deft Extraction

Additional note: If you want to make it easier, copy your save files before fighting the boss. Should you make a mistake, turn the game off and use you copied save files. This way, you do not have to complete the long journey to get to the boss' lair.

The new difficulty level features stronger enemies. Moreover, you cannot renew your health vials as often as when playing with the first Stem Cell active.

Notes: Access to this location is initially blocked - it's one of the better hidden locations in the game. The main character must first acquire the Ram Rune (see the description of the La Brute achievement).

After you have found the Ram Rune, wait for the game to start again, because you have to go through several locations (beginning with the starting location) in a strictly defined order. The order is as follows:

  1. Prisoners' Quarters - find the passage to Toxic Sewers (you'll need to have the Vine Rune)
  2. Toxic Sewers - find the passage to Ancient Sewers (you'll need to have the Ram Rune)
  3. Ancient Sewers - find the passage to Insufferable Crypt (you'll need to reach the elevator)

Here Comes a New Challenger!

Trophy type: bronze - Trophy list in Dead Cells - Trophy Guide - Dead Cells Game Guide

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: Acquire the Challenger's Rune.

Notes: It's a unique rune, as it doesn't make it easier to travel across the maps, but unlocks access to daily challenges, which allows you to acquire unique treasures. Fortunately, it is not difficult to obtain it. The only requirement to get the Challenger's Rune is to defeat the first "main" boss of the game - The Concierge. As a reminder, the monster can be found on the Black Bridge, which can be reached from either the Ramparts or the Ossuary.

Having defeated the boss (consult the Bosses section of our guide if necessary), find the Unknown Artifact on the bridge, which turns out to be exactly the Challenger's Rune you are looking for.

I Like to Live Dangerously...

Trophy type: silver - Trophy list in Dead Cells - Trophy Guide - Dead Cells Game Guide

Trophy type: silver

How to unlock: Beat the game with the Cursed Sword in your inventory.

Note: This is one of the most difficult achievements in the game. By default, The Cursed Sword is unavailable. You have to acquire its blueprint (in our case it dropped from the defeated boss - Conjunctivius). Remember that the blueprints you find are random. After acquiring the blueprint you can unlock the weapon after spending an additional 50 cells.

The Cursed Sword works in the same way as curses - a single hit or falling into an environmental trap ends the game immediately. Try to acquire this sword (best to purchase it from a vendor) in the penultimate location - High Peak Castle or unlock it using cells upon getting to the last safe zone. With it, go to the Throne Room (the final location) and try defeating the final boss - The Hand of the King without sustaining any damage.

Additional note - If you want to make it easier, copy your save files before fighting the boss. Should you make a mistake, turn the game off, use you copied save files and try again. Creating a copy of the save files is possible only on PC (by copying save files into another folder) and PS4 (by copying save files onto a USB drive).

Trophy type: silver

How to unlock: Beat the game without using the Ygdar Orus Li Ox mutation.

Note: the Ygdar Orus Li Ox mutation can be selected from a list while being at a safe zone. It has to be the first unlocked mutation, as during the later stages of the game you will be unable to add it. This mutation can save your character from dying once per one playthrough. After the main protagonist loses all health points, the mutation is activated and your hero gets another chance. In order to unlock this achievement, you can never lose all health points, so that the mutation does not activate and does not disappear from the list of selected mutations. The first difficulty of this achievement is the fact that the Ygdar Orus Li Ox mutation "occupies a slot" in your inventory and you will be able to use only two other mutations throughout the game. Attempt to unlock this trophy after you come up with a solid character build that will increase your chances of beating the game without the risk of your hero's death.

  1. Having a bow or a shield in one of the inventory slots does not render these items useless, however, they will prove useful mostly in the initial locations occupied by less challenging opponents.
  2. It is a good idea to purchase permanent upgrades shown in the screenshot above - Random Starter Bow / Shield / Melee Weapon. They allow you to get a bit better starting items at random.
  3. When completing the game, you have to find a more generic weapon with useful modifiers (e.g. a sword that can burn the enemies).
