Cant get Boss Stem Cell?
Ok i know im probably doing nothing wrong but i tried to read wikis and guides and i cant figure it out :/
I killed the hand of the kind 3 times now and for some reason i didnt get a single Boss Stem Cell.

If you look at the sides of the tube you will see keys or buttons to change how many cells you want in the tube (left and right d-pad for gamepads, A and D for keyboard by default).

You get your first boss cell when you beat the hand of the king for the first time (along with the omunculus rune for the head detach power), you need to activate it in the starting zone (interract with the long horizontal tube-looking thing under the flasks that show what you unlocked).
After you set the game to 1 cell difficulty through this, beating the hand of the king will drop your second cell, then when you defeat it on 2 cells you get your third and so on.

For anyone coming to this section with the same problem I was facing (beaten the hand of the king and then...nothing). I found that I was walking passed the long horizontal glass tube in the prisoner's quarters at the beginning and there was nothing in there, and there was no prompt to interact with the tube either.

I just stumbled upon trying to "Restart" in the pause menu. After restarting, suddenly there was a prompt available at the glass tube and I was able to select the harder difficulty at that point.

This question is asked pretty much every week. I don't fault the people for asking it, since it really hasn't been made clear in-game. But that lack of clarity really needs to be changed. Geez.

I believe there is nothing about the game informing about BSC? The only things about it, is the tube at the beginning (gone in the custom mode sic!), but you won't see any information that just obtained boss cell can be put at the beginning of the normal mode, or choosed in the custom mode setting...

Some extra dialogue with the tutorial girl starting new game would be enough I guess... Instead you have basic controls to learn.

The weirdest thing about the tube option and its overall lack of intuitiveness is that the arrows to switch difficulty are easier to see on keyboard... like, the hint that you can change that screen is EASIER to see on a "non-recommended" playstyle.

As it stands, the tube is there, you can interact with it, and it says "No boss cells."

Change that to 0 (zero) boss cells, and put some pictures of arrows on the side of the menu. Easy.
