Dead Cells Ramparts Guide: Enemies, Layout, and Secrets

AntMag.NET

The Ramparts are a relatively easy area in Dead Cells, consisting of interconnected towers separated by gaps. Players can explore by climbing towers or proceeding forward. Underground areas often contain shops and items. The primary exit leads to The Black Bridge, though a secondary exit to The Insufferable Crypts is also possible.

Falling between towers results in a small health loss and teleportation back to the starting point, rather than instant death.

Enemy Types:

Zombie
Undead Archer
Shieldbearer
Inquisitor: White enemies with red horns that can attack through walls. Dodge their magic attacks and defeat them quickly, especially when grouped with other enemies.
Buzzcutter: Small, fast, red flying bugs that attack with a brief pause. They tend to appear in large groups and can be difficult to hit with standard attacks. Area-of-effect weapons, bombs, or freezing/slowing attacks are effective.

Higher Difficulty Enemy Types:

1 Cell: Slasher
4 Cells: Cannibals (replace Slashers), no Zombies or Undead Archers.

Collectibles and Features:

Scrolls: 3 Scrolls of Power and 2 Dual-Stat Scrolls.
Timed Doors: 8 minutes for 1 Scroll of Power and 21 cells.
Cell Doors: 2 Cells (Food Shop), 3 Cells (Exit to Insufferable Crypts), 4 Cells (Cursed Chest).

Hidden Blueprints:

Nerves of Steel: Requires a specific level layout where the exit is not on the far right. Go to the far right, jump off the edge into the abyss to land on an invisible platform, then enter the tower to the right and descend to find the blueprint. This occurs roughly one in three runs.
Stun Grenade: Also requires a specific layout where the exit is not on the far right. Go to the far right edge and slide down the wall. In certain layouts, a hidden room will be accessible down this wall, containing the blueprint. The Homunculus Rune can be used to scout ahead.

Exits:
