Boss Rush is an alternate mode in the action platformer Dead Cells where you can fight different bosses, one after another. This is supposed to be a very challenging game mode, but some people have found ways to make it a lot easier than intended.
So, developer Motion Twin rectifies that by removing some mutations from Boss Rush in the recently released Everyone is Here Vol. 2 Update. The mutations in question are Gastronomy, Alienation, Get Rich Quick, Midas’ Blood, and Acceptance.
The removal of Gastronomy from Boss Rush is significant because it gives you two unique advantages. First, it increases the healing effects of consumed food. And second, you’re given a damage buff when you decide to recycle food instead of eating it.
This patch brings some bug fixes as well. The crash that happens when you enter the first door of Boss Rush is now resolved. Moreover, the issue where item pedestals in Boss Rush can sometimes have the incorrect color or gear level has been fixed.
