The references include new weapons, new monsters, new bosses, and new characters for players to interact with. No matter what platform you choose to play the new Dead Cells DLC on, players should strive to free Maria Renard in the game. Here, we are going to go over the steps you need to take to free Maria Renard in Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania DLC.

The Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania DLC has a lot of content that is hidden or locked away for players to discover. One of the missions that players will strive to complete is unlocking the door that has Maria Renard trapped. Unlocking it is actually pretty simple when you know what to look for.

Players will want to head to the Castle Outskirts, which is the first new area for the DLC. Players will then need to be on the look for Maria's Cat, which is a white cat that will suddenly appear in front of you. Players will then need to catch the cat, and it will drop the Ribboned Key. Take the key to Maria Renard's door and use it to unlock the door to free her. Her door will be hidden somewhere in the Castle Outskirts level.

There are actually a couple of rewards that the player will get for freeing Maria Renard. The first is that after talking to her, players will unlock the Maria Renard Outfit. Players will have to pay around 100 Cells to unlock the outfit for them to change into. But this is not the only reward players will get.

The second reward is done after you pet Maria's Cat after you free Maria Renard. The cat will suddenly jump into your pockets, and you can now use the Maria's Cat item as a weapon. In the following runs, Maria's Cat will become a random item you will find to help you during your runs in Dead Cells.
