As players approach the Master’s Keep inDead Cells’Return to CastlevaniaDLC for the first time, they will get pulled into the Defiled Necropolis. Here, fans will do battle with Death, and they will find that they are no longer engaging with the DLC’s content once that boss has been dispatched. This may leave some players confused about how they are intended to enter the Master’s Keep inDead Cells, and this guide is here to shine some light on this matter.
It is first important to establish that there are two entries points into theReturn to CastlevaniaDLC, and only one of them can be used per run. The first of those entry points is in the Prisoners' Quarters, and it is how players will initiallyaccessDead Cells’Return to CastlevaniaDLC. That said, this entry point puts fans on the path that ultimately ends with the Death battle, and players that want to reach the Master’s Keep and fight Dracula shouldnotuse it.

Instead, these players must set their sights on thesecond entry point, which is accessed by defeating theTime Keeperin theClock Room. Fortunately, reaching that biome is very straightforward, as all standard paths lead to it eventually, and players will encounter Alucard once the boss has been dispatched. After a brief conversation with this iconicCastlevaniacharacter, players should use the nearby door toDracula’s Castleto continue advancing toward the DLC’s final boss.
In this more-difficult version of Dracula’s Castle, players must defeatMedusain order to reach a chest that holds thePetrified Key. This key is used to unlock a door at the end of thisDead Cellslevel, and the path to theMaster’s Keepis just beyond it. Notably, players will encounter Alucard and Richter as they make their way toward Dracula within the Master’s Keep, and it is during that encounter that they will unlock the Alucard Outfit.
On the topic ofDead Cells CastlevaniaDLC Outfits, there are actually two more than can be unlocked within the Master’s Keep. More specifically, the Sypha and Trevor Outfits can be found within a lore room that is hidden near Dracula’s quarters. To access this room, players must climb an invisible staircase, which can be grabbed onto by jumping just left of the right-most candle in the hallway where Alucard and Richter are found.
Dead Cells: Return to Castlevaniais available on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
