Dead Cells - Unreachable Blueprint in Spawn Reached!

This is a really quick guide on how to get the blueprint in the spawn.

Homunculus Rune – Found in the Prisoners’ Quarters after defeating the Hand of the King (the final boss) for the first time. Allows you to control your head separately from your body, so that you can reach different areas and get loot easily.

That's how you pop your head off...beat the game once.

Everybody is asking what and where is the head off rune but nobody said congrats to that man. So bravo and congrats for finding it!

That blueprint just came flying to me randomly while I was chillin in the starting room, didn’t even know it was there.

Promenade of the condemned, at the start of the stage keep left and keep spider jumping up to a blueprint. You have to keep holding left and keep jumping until you see the spikes. Its slow but its a blueprint up there.

It's so easy! Just beat the game once to get the rune that lets you pop your head off!

Sure! Get right on that! XD

There's another way for those who are unable to perform the jump. You can stand on the wooden platform on the right at 1:54 (the one after you pick up the money and jump up). You HAVE to stand on the very tip, and this might take a few tries. Standing here will allow enough range for your homunculus head to enter the area and pick up the item. Anyways, you have to move with your homunculus to the left all the way back to the wall. Remember, it will start tugging, so always keep it tight and always keep moving left. Then you jump up the first wooden platform, then the second. After you reach the second platform on the left, use the rubber band tug and flip your movement to the right and do a double jump that should be enough to get you into the area. After that it's the same thing. Your homunculus won't disconnect, because your character is just below and not far away.

It's a bit more mindfucky and feels more like an abuse. But the general idea is the same eh? Reach the blueprint with the homunculus so I think it's aight. If you try to do it from the left it won't work because your character is too far away from the blueprint and it will snap back.

Everyone asking the dumb question of how to pop your head out, no one asking the important question: that blue print gave disengagement. What does disengagement do?

[focabox]

I didn't even knew there was a blueprint there lol thanks, man

[koipond]

Popping off your head is a rune you get for beating the finishing the game the first time.

You don't actually need to do the whole wall run thing, as long as you've beaten the hand of the king once and have the head detachment skill, all you have to do is find the sweet spot on the floor under a bit to the left under the blue print. I say sweet spot because if you detach your head too far it automatically retracts. Anyways, detach your head to your left, roll up the wall, and hop your head across, if you have the distance right, you should be able to navigate the tunnel no problem, then just retract once you get the blueprint!

If anyone is still struggling, here’s what helped me deal stupid damage to the king:

At least 19 Brutality
About 7-8 Tactics.
Didn’t put any points in survival

I used:
Twin daggers
Pyrotechnics

Wolf Trap
Double crossbow turret


I’ve gotten decimated by the king every time before I tried this build. And it worked magnificently.

I hope this helps anyone who is struggling

Alright, you deserve a like. I managed to get to room all by myself without looking any guides, but i was forgot about the head-launching move!

[Professionalyoutubeviewer]

You just showed up in my recommended my dude. Got my sub, good luck man.

[InuyashaWolf]

I like how he doesn't say how to do this "You just do this! and your head pops off!" no explanation on if this is a rune you need or what button to press

[VoidPocket]

Thank you very much for this video and information. I think I was not double-jumping to the right was my issue.

Also, for those that don’t know yet. You need to beat the Hand of the King boss at least once to get the Homunculus Rune or whatever it is called that lets you dislocate your head from your body. You get this ability/rune automatically the first time you beat the The Hand of the King boss, which is located in the Throne Room.

Thanks again for this video, I appreciate it a lot.

I'm baffled every time I see someone playing DC with a keyboard. And be really good too. I couldn't fathom playing any kind of platformer without a controller.

[ishyxwensome]

The fact they have this in the game makes it a 10/10 game

[ryanrahlreviews]

Thanks man. I didnt even think about jumping over. Was goin nuts trying to use homunculus from the ledges. Lol. I always for get about that one.

[roundishwhale]

thanks man, was getting kinda frustratet because I tried to do it in a "speedrun" fashion as I did not realize that I could roll into there... saved me from a lot of grey hair :D

[zariosmation]

*This is a very useful mutation to have on 5BC so I'm very glad I found this video. Thanks man <:)*

[EikkaO]

Thanks a lot. Useful video even in 2023! I couldnt figure out how to jump there myself, and my head couldnt reach the blueprint from anywhere else.
