The Vorpan can only be obtained after playing Dead Cells for a few runs. Once it becomes available, a special interaction with the shop merchant will trigger on any given level until it is properly unlocked by the player.
Synergies
Combining with Grappling Hook as an easy high damage crit enabler as it stuns and brings front-facing enemies closer to get hit more easily.
Similarly, the same problem occurs with the Assassin's Dagger, as these enemies don't have a backside either.
Because of its short range, it is crucial to managing crowds to not get swarmed by enemies, as this weapon struggles against fights with many targets.
Trivia
This weapon is a reference to the animated release trailer, where the Beheaded fights off enemies using a frying pan by hitting them in the face with it. It was the last weapon provided to him.
The flavor text is a reference to the title of the trailer, "Kill. Die. Learn. Repeat.".
The weapon's name is likely a portmanteau of the words "vorpal" and "pan".
Walking into a shop while equipping the Vorpan and the Tentacle will trigger a special interaction with the shop merchant.
This interaction is a reference to the animated launch trailer, where at the end of the video the Beheaded and a merchant use the Vorpan to cook a tentacle.
