I just found out you can break the cells door.

I'm sure practically everyone already knew this, but I had no idea. There's nothing in the game that shows any hint that you should be able to.

Sure, you can break doors. You can even break golden doors. Although this has the graphic hint of it being so damaged. But there's also doors you can't break.
I figured the cells door was one of them. There was literally no reason for me to be thinking otherwise. It says it won't open until you spend all your cells, so that's what I did. Until at one point I just... tried.

The stupid thing is that the little amount of cells you get after a boss has been my main complaint, it makes this game an absolute grindfest.

Stupid me I guess? Or badly designed?

You are either gonna attack them on your own eventually or be stuck in there once you upgrade all your gear and mash it open being your only option left. I still got no clue why you can't interact with those doors normally like any other door in the game to open them.

I'm sure, it's made deilberatly. Some players figure it fast, some have "I was fooled by a game" moment, lots of games later.
If games are to entertain, not all exitement comes from positive emitions.
If games are to teach (thinking out of box, in this inctance), lessons are best memorized after failure.

Personally, I figured door can be bashed after 5-h or 10-h time, it didn't feel like a big deal.
Now, gardener's key, I chouldn't fugure out, withuot a hint.

From what I understand, the Collector wants all your cells and by breaking the door you're going against the system.

Funny, I figured out the Gardener's keys before I had the necessary runes to get them.
Because it's actually a simple puzzle. 3 doors, 3 keys, one level. Hide and seek. It's just a shame it's a one-time thing.

It's the same with the boss cell doors. I was curious so I had to look it up. If there was simply a "A powerful force is needed to open this." message, then, yeah, okay, I'll stop wasting my time on them. It's not like the game is against written messages, but for some reason it doesn't bother with those doors. Instead I was thinking that I'd need to knock on the doors in sequence, or that there's some hidden code to get them to open.

Well I'd give him the cells if he'd take them. I got no use for them XD

I didn't realize this either. It's probably a rookie guidance system. It's like how in Dark souls one, you can either finish an area with a huge amount of souls, or make the safe choice of backtracking and cashing in what you have. It's safer to cash in immediately, so the devs make that the base option in order to lead beginners into a forgiving experience.
I do think that the system kind of falls apart once seasoned players still don't realize they can break the door, but it's banking on people figuring it out before too long.

Some time ago i killed cell door with a broadsword backfire and got struck by zombie at the same time.

My most dumb and funny death.
