Description

Battle your way through sunken shipwrecks, scale a burning lighthouse and confront your deadliest foe yet. If you manage to make it through all that, maybe you’ll finally get off this god-forsaken island...

This late-game content gives you an alternative to the High Peak Castle, Derelict Distillery and Throne Room biomes.

What’s waiting in these new levels?


Infested Shipwreck: Crawl through the claustrophobic corridors of crumbling wrecks, while seething eldritch abominations hunt you from the shadows.


Lighthouse: Ascend this soaring tower while fending off the relentless attacks of the Servants and outrunning the hungry flames rising from below.


The Crown: Try to get off this cursed island by lighting the beacon at the lighthouse summit. However, your past won’t let you go without a fight...

This DLC also gives you the usual extras:
· 9 new weapons, including a throwable shark, a trident and a pirate hook hand (eyepatch not included).
· A not-so-cute pet.
· Loads of new outfits.
· New enemies to bash.

Toss up between this & Giants for hardest dlc to figure out how to start. This one once started has a lot of sea based levels. Difficulty is high here. The ship is huge and its easy to get lost. Very much a experienced

A great dose of brutal end-game content to cap off this alternate route these dlc packs have built. The shipwreck is a cool biome that is uniquely generated and quite large, and it leads straight into two tough boss

Yeah, in my other review I said it was a really hard choice between Fatal Falls and this DLC for my favorite. That's mainly just because Fractured Shrines is my favorite area, but this is easily the best DLC. The

The Queen and the Sea DLC is probably the first Dead Cells DLC introducing a new ending, which you don't have to fight the Hand of the King boss for. Additionally, with 2 new boss fights following eachother right at the

I currently have an issiue, where the game tells me that the DLC is successfully installed, but doesn`t activate? By that, I mean that the interaction, at the start of the game, misses so that I can´t access its

In my opinion the hardest one of all the DLCs. I have no idea how someone can get the achievments involving that you dont take any damage...its way to hard!
