Enter the Gungeon Tips & Advice from Abe Clancy 

New tip: Don't bring the crest into the Boss fight

Very nice video :) definitely some useful info and some things I did not know. Especially those invis frames from flipping table, blew my mind.

8:10 One more thing to add, Some hallways are actually rooms, so be careful while traversing hallways. If on tbe minimap, the hallway isnt a thin blue line, but a thicker light blue line, that hallway is considered another room. Going to the next room after this fake hallway will let the rat grab your ammo, since the game considers you as 2 rooms away instead of one.

Additional tip on red mages. NEVER use weapons with bees or homing bullets. They retain their effects when fired back.

You put out a guide that will probably be outdated ONE DAY before the update that's supposed to make it outdated....

Great high quality video. I like how your show examples for everything you talk about. Subbed!

Literally the day after I watched your video I beat the dragun for the first time. I never even reached the forge before. Thank you so very much for making this video.

25:09 You can dodge roll this? I thought you just had to look away to avoid that.

One of the best tips n' tricks videos about ETG in RU-vid Sadly this only came after I finished and stopped playing :v

One of the hardest lessons in life is shooting a scrambler at a gunjurer (red mage).

If you dodge roll to the stairs in front of Bullet King as soon as the fight starts, he won't move during his attacks, and he'll be close enough to the wall behind him that his big ball attack becomes nullified by the wall. Standing in front of him, he'll never use his 3x2 side spread, and he can't hit you with the aoe bullet lines at all. If he raises both of his hands, you have to back off a little and dodge towards him through the wave to maintain position and prevent him from potentially moving away from the wall. When he readies to throw the chalice, move dramatically up and to one side of the boss and return in front of him as soon as he throws it; he'll throw it where you were headed at first, which is away from his center, keeping that space clear for you. When he spins you have to back off and weave through the bullets, however you can use this attack to adjust his position if it isn't close enough to the back wall. There is a path through the spread you can weave through up and to either side of the boss, so if you dodge the wave into the corners up there, he will subsequently move towards you and up slightly, and then you dodge diagonally down to just in front of the boss through the 3x2 spread that he will 100% launch at you.

Another tip, don't save health pickups for another time in Bullet Hell (floor 6) as there is no place in the lvl for you to retrieve them. Instead just leave them on the ground in the rooms they drop in and then come back for them if you need to heal up.

one of the most well spend 55 minutes of my life. im serious with this. it was worth it.

thanks for the help i put it to good use especially that table invincibility thing which i dub TABLE TECH INVINCIBILITY

Simply have patience, i have 200 hours in this game and i just beat the Lich, i was gonna say i'm still trash but after beating the game i guess i would sound stupid. But have patience, it's gonna take you a lot of time to get good at, unless you've played games like Binding of Isaac, or, turns out, Osu!, because i got my friend to start playing it and he got to Chamber 4 in less than a week.

51:41 The Old King has the highest health in a single phase in the entire game, having about 100 HP more than Dragun phase 1

Good Gawd this is probably the most thorough n helpful presentation I’ve seen on RU-vid! Thanks so much for everything you showed n taught us here my friend!!

Very good guide, I have to say, I learned some from it too. I wanted to add that you can dodge Gorgun's gaze by simply looking away - no risk of dodging into a bullet and you can start firing again a lot quicker.

Such as good Guide! Cudos to you my friend! But Dodgeroll confirmed on Reddit that AGND would be coming on the 19th. So TOMMOROW. this guide will still be very affective to use, just it's funny how AGND is ONE DAY away.

You can now slide over tables! How neat!

Just a tiny note but you can also use the mega douser to get rid of the fire of the Wallmonger and make that attack a lot easier to dodge. It’s also possible to dodge Gorgun’s stone wave by looking away from her, just like the Medusa.

This video was so well made I actually watched the whole thing through

Additional tip: You can spare the chancellor and he will come back for a second fight in the next boss room Thats how i 1 shot the eye of the be-holster.

There is a room that always exists in the 4th floor what's the purpose of it ?

fossilized gun is the best room clearer in the game (for being a D rank gun). When I get ahold of that weapon I just spray the entire room with oil and the fire it up, and so, almost all enemies die withing seconds.

The tip with casey on the bullet king works on the old king too.

Got to the Lich for the first time just now. Beat him first try thanks to you!!!

hey Abeclancy, I just found out about the game that no one knows yet, when you beat the Lich the clock thing that you use to kill him in the past it starts in the present but every hour that it passes means how many days since you first started the game.

Flawless'd the dragon on my second time ever even reaching it by finding this vid after my first attempt! Great tips, thank you!

Well made video that's probably outdated but still amazing to a n00b like me who got the game two days ago

Been kickin ass in this game for almost half a year now & never knew about the invis with tables... I know nothingg!

This is the best tips and tricks video i saw in my life, like I aint jokin', this is the best one, now to remember all of those

Pro tips for this game. DONT UNLOCK ANYTHING YOU DONT HAVE TOO! This especially applies to any of the purchasable unlocks in the lobby. It literally only takes 1 or 2 of the right drop to make the rest of the run a cakewalk, most of which are available from the start of the game. Most of the unlocks are strait crap and the more things you unlock it only serves to the lessen the likelihood you will get the good ones popping up in your runs. Also when you able to, try to run in rainbow mode, as you will practically never see many of the top tier guns/items otherwise. Of particular note the Composite Gun and the Dark Matter both of which fire blanks and make bosses almost trivial. Especially if you get dark matter and the antibody passive item, and you can just fire not stop stream of blanks to the point its likely to give you seizures.

just beat the Lich for the first time Character - Pilot A.I - air strike P.I - Stout bullets, super space turtle(MVP) weapons - black hole gun(MVP), Jolter, Science cannon, Heroine.

>get mod the dungeon >give yourself Casey >W I N

Canonballrog is hard for me i cant even see him when hes rolling 😂

the table flipping damn that is really impressive

Yo just wanted to say this was SUUUPER helpful. I’m pretty alright at this game but I couldn’t never really take it to that next level. But this opened my eyes to what I haven’t been doing. I’ve been dodging waaaaay too much. I dodge when weaving is the best option and that’s typically what ends in my downfall. I also use room clearing weapons in every situation when boss killers would be better to use as well. I also learned to to dodge those pesky attacks that I always have trouble with. This guide rocks, and it helps out a lot. Thank you so much!!

30:40 fighting a cannon ball with a cannon, now i've seen everything

This is why Hunter’s crossbow is a great example of one-killing or weakening other types of Bullet Kin. It’s SUPER EFFECTIVE, especially if you want to clear the first floor quickly. And yeah, table i-frames are a life saver tbh, that’s saved a lot of time. A awesome video that I can still reference from TODAY!

I love gungeon, but I absolutely HATE the boss damage cap. In the Binding of Isaac, if you get a good combination of items, you can absolutely destroy bosses. In Gungeon...Yari Launcher. I want to be able to melt bosses with a really powerful weapon! I want to use the sky laser gun (forgot the name) and kill them in five seconds or whatever! It's so satisfying to be able to melt bosses, but Gungeon just gives you a massive middle finger if you try.

Good video even for people who didn't play. Also funny how this is obviously totally inspired by the mobile game soul knight and is a refference to it or smth idk how these jokes work

One hint: if ever you acquire a Makeshift Cannon and some duct tape, tape the cannon onto whichever weapon you have that has the biggest ammo reserve. Reason being, it DOESN'T BREAK if it's fired as an auxillary weapon like this, which makes clearing rooms and pummeling bosses a snap.

"Use status effects and beams when necessary." Me: Did somebody say "S T I N G E R ?"

came here because I can't clear the first floor

15.4k subs and 912k views. That's 2018 for you

*Really late but maybe useful tip:* you can look away instead of dodgerolling to not get frozen by Gorgun's freeze screech. This is important to know when you just dodgerolled and are surprised by it. Just flick your mouse the opposite side of where you're aiming to maximize your dps. (He didn't talk about this freeze-thing so yeah).

Anyone willing to put out such an in depth guide and help further the community of any game deserves my sub.

One thing I think you forgot to mention about the gattling gull is that during his continuous burstfire he fires one tracking bullet ever second or 2. This one bullet is what used to hit me but if you pay attention to it you can anticipate it. The entire stream can be bypassed simply by circling except for that bullet and if you can anticipate it you can stand still for a moment while he fires it before you continue circling. This isn't very easy to describe in words but I think you already know what I'm talking about.

Ammoconda and High Priest are easily the worst boss fights for me. I dont mind the others so much.

You have the kind of insight and expression of that insight I treasure in people. There's maybe 1 in every 10 with this capacity. Even more rare they happen to be on RU-vid and play a game like this, so I consider myself quite lucky indeed to have found you.

I would probably be a lot better at this game *if I didn't get the mine flayer every time*

One of the best tips videos i've seen! The difficulty spike after chamber 3 is absolutely crazy. I have over 50 hours played and i have only ever beat chamber 4 once so far.

Heckin' heck... and I can't even finish level 1 of this game... I must be getting old. XD

20:03

It's truly a testament to how great these tips are that I keep coming back to this video despite internalizing all of the advice and seldom losing a run anymore.

After watching this I flawlessed my first boss (I’m very bad

In the latest version, there’s actually a set of passives that add special effects to flipping tables, from generating money to stunning enemies

How to unlock those challenges he was talking at 8:50

I've unlocked everything, beat everything, etc. but I still got something from this video. It was really well done and thorough. Great job.

Ah.. enter the gungeon, where you can be a bullet carrying a bullet that shoots guns which the guns also shoot bullets.

The very first time I fought Kill Pillars I barely survived because I didn't expect the circle bullet patterns so I barely survived but also I killed all 4 at once. :D

Many very usefull tips, thank you very much! :-)

I got it with Advanced Dunguns and Draguns on Switch, well worth the money

To be honest the easiest 2nd chamber boss for me is the ammoconda

“Wtf” Wa- s my first reaction getting the Bullet -“shoots guns”-

1:39: (exists) Me: (Smiles smugly in the future flipping tables in the beholder boss room)

Wow, that was one of the most satisfying guides I've ever seen. Articulate. Quality tactics. Bell-subbed. I'm pumped to go back into the Gungeon armed with your strategy. I'd love to see some kind of interesting synergy top ten video from you. You're awesome.

27:00 when I got to the ammoconda for the first time, i only had 2 health, and lost one right away, but I ended scraping by no hit. One of the most intense things I’ve done and it felt great.

I wish I knew the kill pillars one I had so much op items

Ammoconda is easier than the gorgun for me, I've never lost to the ammoconda or beholster. always that god damned witch!

This is still helpful in a farewell to arms

Abe this guide is incredible. Thank you so much for making this. (of course, I still have to reliably clear chamber 2, but details).

49:55 and adorable.

I'll keep this introduction short 54 minutes later

How do people have SO many hearts and shields and money so quickly? I feel like i'm missing something. Or new updates up until now have made the game much more difficult

I have over 600 hours in this game and I still found ou new stuff from this video! Great work dude!!

You the guy that made rainbow six siege damn

I just wish that the rest of the music was as good as the intro

The ammoconda: hardest second floor boss Me with the sniper and piercing every segment of his body: (That was the only time I ever made it to the third floor btw)

HOLY FUCK THIS VIDEO IS NEARLY AN HOUR LONG! im 49 minutes in and didnt even noticed xD

That's a hell of a video Great content Hope you gain more attention with the update

damn bro i just beeat dragun 2/5 tries and i love this game instantly fuckin liked after the table flip trick. such good info

19:53 a little tip to avoid the big bullet ball..just fight him near the top wall so everytime he launch the ball it will hit the wall..LOL

best advice ever: hug to win i am happy to know that hugs are not great, but also life and run saving as well

When you watch the guild and find out that you already now very thing........rip

Been playing [off and on] for a while and I found this really helpful. Thank you

I’m ready for this game now from the free ps games

One massive tip from my experience is to avoid blue chests, but not brown ones. Brown ones can contain two items, like reimbursement items as in hearts and keys. There's also the chance of getting the insanely powerful casey if you think you're lucky enough. Blue chests aren't really good enough to open, but they aren't bad enough to potentially give you something else. Only open them if you're in absolute dire need for items, or if you can open just about any chest you find. Any other circumstance they're better off broken. A small tip to add onto that is to make sure to buy keys before heading into the next chamber, just to save money

Fun fact: if you kill the bullet King without pissing the counselor he will cry at his loss. (Wow everyone knows that) BUT if you wont kill him And instantly got to the next floor he will help the other Boss kill you.

FYI "daisuke" is pronounced "dais-kei" (similar to how the two words DICE and GAY would be pronounced") - its a japanese name.

Ok I'ma watch this video before going to sleep Me 1 hour later: OH GOD OH FUCK I NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW

I'm totally using the D-Pad chest cheese... That's genius and high risk, high reward which I think is exactly what a BulletHell game is all about!

Abe: how to counter all the main bosses Me: black hole gun + abyssal tentacle

I have no idea why but High Dragun is a cakewalk for me. Those blasted killpilars though are the bane of my existence...

lol I almost learned nothing from this, but good to know my play style matches these tips and advice lol. yet to beat the game though, even though I have over 130 hours into the game so far *nervous laugh*

Any advice on how to not avoid the fourth floor boss with full health and four armor slots, because you just can't resist trying to clear the floor? Happened to me today.

Is it wrong that I love this game but also love one shotting everything in a room with BSG instead of a actually PLAYING the game

The easiest 2nd boss to me is the beholster because the problem with the gorgun is that everytime I fight her and she does her screaming fire I'm never close to the gap which gets me killed everytime.

"HUG THE WALL" *is in the middle of the stadium*
