To unlock the Recycling Tubes in Dead Cells, you need to follow a series of steps that involve defeating a specific boss and utilizing in-game currency. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

1. Defeat the Hand of the King: The first and most crucial step is to defeat the Hand of the King boss. Ensure that you are playing at a difficulty of at least 1 Boss Cell (1BC). The Recycling Tubes blueprint is dropped by the Hand of the King when you defeat her under these conditions.

2. Blueprint Unlock Notification: After successfully defeating the boss and exiting, the blueprint for the Recycling Tubes will unlock automatically. You will receive an on-screen message confirming the unlock when you approach the fountain at the start of a new run.

3. Collect Cells to Unlock: While obtaining the blueprint is a significant step, it’s important to note that collecting the blueprint does not grant you immediate access to the Recycling Tubes. You will need to gather 150 Cells, the game’s currency, and spend them with the Collector to unlock the Recycling Tubes for use in your runs.

4. Utilizing the Recycling Tubes: Once you have spent the necessary Cells, the Recycling Tubes will be officially unlocked. You can then visit the Corrupted Prison area, which is accessible via the Toxic Sewers, to start taking advantage of the gameplay opportunities that the Recycling Tubes provide.

Summary of Key Steps

– Defeat the Hand of the King at 1 Boss Cell or higher.
– Receive the blueprint unlock notification after exiting.
– Spend 150 Cells with the Collector to officially unlock the Recycling Tubes.
– Explore the Corrupted Prison area with the newly available Recycling Tubes.

By following these steps, you will be able to utilize the Recycling Tubes in your gameplay, enhancing your experience in Dead Cells.
