I'm not a fan of the new enemies. Curse was a fun mechanic imo due to it being a risk you can choose to take in order to get stronger. Risk reward. Having monsters just randomly give you curse just isn't appealing. There's no reward just risk. Imagine having one of them pop up right in the end of a biome before a boss. Just sounds like feels bad rage fuel.

​@@Pseychie_DCI figured this out a while ago. Thank god it exists.

Almost all of this sounds awful apart from indulgence and cursed flask. Personally I would never take cursed flask but it could have its uses. I'd include damned vigor if it worked with curses. I had assumed it would since they're adding it alongside all this curse stuff so it's crazy to me that it doesn't. Neither of those weapons seem worth setting your health to 1, even if it's more temporary than the cursed sword while you're in biomes. The enemies are a horrible addition that removes the control you have over curse in the current game. Aside from removing the choice to take a curse or not it also means you have no time to prepare for it. I'm not amazing at the game so I like to pause and prepare myself before I take on a curse. If I get a curse from one of these enemies while I'm fighting something else I'm just screwed. I haven't played Dead Cells in months and this is really not encouraging me to get back into it, which is a shame because I love the game.

Love this style of video. Just an overall nice change of pace from the usual runs and especially the essays

Haven't played the alpha yet, but I really don't like those enemies. What makes the curse mechanic so cool is that you willingly choose to engage with it, a high risk initiated by yourself. Throwing enemies that can now also do it at you just seems like ragebait that makes the game unnecessrily harder in a not very fun way. I hope they really reconsider this, using weapons and mutations to expand on curses seems like a much better idea than that. Don't exactly have an opinion on how those things work out yet either, but the idea of a weapon cursing you is at least your choice and clearly communicated, so I have no issue with that in concept whatsoever.

I feel like the curse mechanic itself would need to be rebalanced for these changes to make sense. Instead of curses killing you when you get hit, maybe you gain curse stacks and when you hit a threshold you die? I dont know, but the constant threat of being one shot is kind of worrisome. In 5bc you damn near get one shot regardless but i cant imagine the frustration of getting cursed and hit by a crystal machine gun from an elite sore loser.

At that point we might as well just bring the old malaise back

Wow, more things to kill me in the second biome of 4BC? How generous pog for heads tho

Misericorde is a weapon that deals no damage to "healthy" enemies and punishes you for using it. So you need another weapon to deal with first half of HP. So why wouldn't you use the same weapon to deal with the second half? Light ray is either 1 critical hit for 10s cooldown, or more non-critical hits that hopefully cure you from curses IF they kill someone. Anathema is a throwing axe(already mediocre) with huge "reload", almost no damage AND it punishes you for using it.

Looks awesome, some nice changes!

Misericorde might work well with Alienation? If you keep Misericorde in your backpack and take it out to heal with alienation it might be quite useful. I think the usefulness of the new items kind of depends on how they play out with alienation or other mutations.

I can wait to try this. It has been a while since we got new mutations

That could be fun to play with. The only thing I'd suggest is an option to ban the new monsters from spawning through custom mode, for those not wanting them to appear. Otherwise very interesting.

Damned vigor does work with curse damage, you just have to kill an enemy within 2 seconds of being hit without being hit again. It was probably a bug in the training room that killed you.

I'm hyped for this update entirely for the new heads

Cant wait for the update to hit

I’m exited for this update although it feels kinda out of order. The one thing I think about is the combo between the hammer’n spike and alienation

3:23 "Misericorde" is pronounciated "Misery cord" (at least in frenc)

8:53 very much needed. Im 3BC and if i standed on top of him i would get around half of my hp deleted, and good luck parrying that.

Misericorde is a very powerful blood dagger from Elden Ring

If spite sword some how wasn't already broken enough then it certainly is now. I can just imagine the new runs involving that.

i think they should make curses do a percentage decrease of health based on the stacks, because playing without taking like any damage ever sounds really annoying and doesn’t really change curses in any way it just adds more ways to get them

This could make Acceptance (i think that's the mutation) more useful

Now i'm kind of wishing there was a "Skill Backpack" or such, cause i'd love to roll past an attack only for the gods to smite my attacker with a ray of light.

The new curse deletes your save file. Thats the only thing scarier than instant death.

I think the Misericorde giving curses if you can't 1 or 2 shot the enemies is rather too challenging. It will also limit your biome choice because let's be honest here, going to the Cavern or Infested Shipwreck with it can be a death wish unless it can 2 hit the birds and the crystal bear things. Coupled the fact that the Mimic can be anywhere, forgetting to change your loadout before buying is probably disastrous. A suggestion is to curse the player if one can't finish it off after first hitting it in a period of time.

Misericorde is a weapon than needs another viable weapon to not get cursed. So why not use only that weapon instead and get something to support it in the second slot? Idulgence does almost nothing if you have no curse and even less than that if you have low amounts of curse. Cursed blade is THE best sword in the game with THE worst downside. Those two weapons aren't even good to start with. But also have the exact same downside if you use them as your main source of damage.

Actually refunded the Castlevania DLC on release because it was so restrictive and turned me off from the game. Glad they made this change, will pick it up once patch is live.

Pseychie shines as an outstanding Dead Cells content creator, seamlessly blending skillful gameplay with insightful commentary. His dedication to the game is evident in each video, providing an engaging experience for viewers. As a devoted fan, I'm excited to suggest a unique tactics build crafted for Pseychie's channel. The build revolves around a tactical approach. The Boy's Axe takes the spotlight, rooting enemies in place, setting the stage for devastating ranged attacks. The Boomerang becomes a powerhouse with the addition of Ammo, doubling its projectiles and amplifying the potency of both the Boomerang and The Boy's Axe, each with a single ammo count. To intensify the onslaught, Fireblast in the Backpack adds an element of chaos, offering an area-of-effect option to control crowds. The Great Owl of War and Tesla Coil serve as formidable skills, unleashing powerful ranged assaults, creating a mesmerizing symphony of destruction on the screen. For mutations, Ammo is crucial, ensuring a constant stream of projectiles to maintain the build's momentum. Acrobatipack enhances mobility, allowing for quick repositioning and evasive maneuvers. Point Blank maximizes damage at close range, encouraging a dynamic playstyle that keeps the action intense. This tactical build not only highlights Dead Cells' customization but also promises a visually stunning and strategically engaging experience. Pseychie's expertise and charismatic commentary are sure to elevate the showcase of this build, offering his audience a fresh perspective on the game. I eagerly anticipate witnessing Pseychie masterfully navigate this tactics-focused build, providing his viewers with thrilling moments and strategic insights.
