Dead Cells now has a Bank biome, and here’s how to find it

destructoid.com:

There’s a generous (read: free!) Dead Cells biome update out this week called Break the Bank, and can you believe it’s the 28th update for the game? And they’re not slowing down either, as the developers at Motion Twin and Evil Empire are planning to release more DLC and updates for “at least another year.” No one’s getting off this wild ride!

Before diving in, you may want to skim the patch notes to see what’s new.

There are new weapons like the Gold Digger, which “gives gold on hits plus critical hits if you’re filthy rich,” and a few shiny foes, like the Golden Kamikaze (aka the exploding bats). There are mutations, too — one of them, Gold Plating, causes you to lose gold instead of health when you’re hurt. And there are balance changes, including a Vampirism rework that “now sacrifices a percentage of your maximum health to gain life leech on your melee attacks (effect doubled for heavy weapons) and a speed boost for 10 seconds.”

Or maybe you just want to barrel toward the new Bank biome. Here’s how to find it.

In theory, the Bank should be easier to find than some of the other routes in Dead Cells, assuming you know what you’re looking for: a chest. This chest. According to the devs, it can appear randomly in the “transition area between biomes (but not before a boss),” and if you ignore the Bank entrance chest, it won’t appear again in your current run.

On the bright side, the Bank chest is “guaranteed to appear once” per run, assuming you’ve gotten to the Hand of the King or The Queen at least once in Dead Cells — that’s the prerequisite. In other words, you don’t need to curse your bad RNG. It’ll show up.

There’s another interesting wrinkle: the Bank replaces (what would be) the next biome on your current path,
