Dead Cells Wiki

Corpse Flies and Sewer Flies are a smaller, faster flying versions of Buzzcutters, which are only spawned by other enemies.

Behavior[]

  • The Sewer Flies are spawned in groups of 3 or 5 by the Hammer or from a fake chest.
  • The Corpse Flies are spawned in groups of 5 by the Swarm Zombie.
  • Both variants can perform a melee bite attack, similar to the Buzzcutter.
    • However, Corpse Flies will only do so if the Swarm Zombie that spawned them is killed. Otherwise, they will only use their electric fence.

Moveset[]

Electric fence

  • Description: When summoned by a Swarm Zombie, they surround it and link together with electric rays, creating a barrier that does damage on contact.
  • The flies can still be damaged, causing the fence to change dynamically as their numbers deplete.
  • If the Swarm Zombie dies or if there are less than 2 flies, the fence is disengaged.

Bite

  • Description: A delayed bite attack that hits at melee range.
  • Can be blocked, parried, and dodge rolled.
  • Briefly stuns the player on hit.

Strategy[]

  • They can be easily killed with AoE damage.
  • The electrical fence can only be dodge rolled. Try to kill the Swarm Zombie before it activates or roll away and use AoE attacks.
  • Its melee attack can be easily neutralized by rolling or parrying.

Notes[]

  • The Flies are all spawned enemies, and they will thus not count toward curse counters or perfect doors when killed.

Trivia[]

  • Corpse Flies used to spawn when a Swarm Zombie died.
  • In a previous version of Dead Cells, Sewer Flies and Corpse Flies both shared the name Corpse Fly.

History[]

  • 0.0: Hammer Fly introduced.
