Beat the Hand of the King - Now What?

[fractal9091]

I just came back to the game after a year or two away. After defeating the Hand of the King on 0 boss cells, I saw there was a new room at the right-hand edge of the screen, and explored that. However, there was nothing there except a few things to look at (and a 5 boss cell door I can't open).

What do I do now? There's a the broken throne (can't interact with that), a fountain (can't interact with that), and the room (already looked at everything). Other than that, I guess there are some spikes I could kill myself on? Shouldn't there be some way either to progress or to return to the beginning in triumph? Is it actually necessary to jump into the spikes repeatedly?

Find the button to throw your head out and leave through the fountain, just like how you left through it in the first place. Check your controls in the menu. If you are playing on a controller, the default button is normally pressing on the right analog.

After that when you spawn in the prisoner's quarters, check the big tube at the beginning and cycle through it to the next highest difficulty boss cell. Now do the whole game again, rinse and repeat.

Thanks! I was thinking when I started playing that I should be able to throw my head, but couldn't figure out how to do it and forgot about it.

Yeah, I've got three boss cells from when I played before, but after starting on a higher difficulty and having trouble I figured I'd better go back to 0 boss cells and remind myself how to play. Zero boss cells is really easy once I stopped opening every cursed chest I found, so maybe I can go back up again to two boss cells or something now. I want to experience some of the new content. I understand there are a bunch of new areas and bosses since the last time I played.

If you've been gone for a year or two, just know that the game was rebalanced. 0BC is now super, super easy. It took me like 60 hours to beat 0BC the first time in Early Access, and it'll take people a few hours, maybe, to do it now

Most people end up hitting a wall on 1BC, then 2 or 3, then 4. LOL. So there's plenty of time to keep practicing and learning the enemies better.

There are likely a couple new bosses at least: 2 in the Giant DLC, 1 extra in the Bad Seed (if you bought it). And, of course, new weapons. There's a whole lot to play with. :)
