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..."

The Black Bridge is the first boss biome encountered in Dead Cells. It is a long bridge at the entrance of Stilt Village, where the Concierge stands to guard the path.

This bridge separates from the prison complex and leads back to the village. Darkness has now set, and the full moon has risen 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 soon. The prison warden still remains valent, even if he's not quite the same.
