Black Bridge

In the old days, the bridge linked the village to the prison and was only used on special occasions. In the old days...

Getting past the prison walls was a major achievement. Crossing the bridge was nothing short of a miracle.

They say the prison warden was personally involved in guarding the bridge. So they say...

There are stories that curious fisherman used the river to avoid the bridge and get closer to the prison. Most presumed they drowned.

The Black Bridge is the first boss biome in Dead Cells. It is a long bridge before the entrance to Stilt Village, where the Concierge guards the way.

The bridge separates the prison complex and the village. Darkness has set, and the full moon rises into the starry sky. A prisoner from the village would be excited to be so close to home… Yet so far. One cannot expect to be safe this soon. The prison warden remains valiant, even if he's not quite the same.
