How to Beat Enter the Gungeon - A Guide With Tips and Advice 

The fact that you 100%'d this game is insane. Great vid

A little bit more advanced tip I would give to a new player who wants to unlock the gunslinger is to beat the Resourceful Rat in the run and do well in the 3d phase, the Punch out fight (when playing as the gunslinger, but feel free to do this as Paradox). Yes, I know it sounds absolutely ridiculous, since everyone who tried to beat the rat for the first couple of times knows that he is very brutal when you're not familiar with his attacks, and the 3d phase is no joke, and even getting to RR is a long road, but trust me, it's worth it to learn to be able to kick rat's ass every run successfully. The items and weapons you receive can make everything easier (it's a bit RNG reliant though, either you get incredibly good stuff or not that good stuff), but the main focus is the rat chests: the things contained in them are ludicrously overpowered, especially the elementalier, which will *cheese* (don't worry, my execution is scheduled for tomorrow already) all the regular rooms effortlessly. Full RR set is almost a guaranteed win for the run. Since there are already many videos with tips on how to beat RR, I won't talk about them, except for one thing which I don't think I've ever seen being mentioned anywhere: after getting through the maze, if you have a leftover heart, push it into the rat's boss room by walking into it (may take a few seconds to get used to it). Once you start the fight, it may look like the heart disappeared (if you pushed 2 hearts in, then one will vanish for real), but it actually stays there, just invisible now. If you find yourself injured after the 1st phase, you can go back to the boss door and pick it up, and believe me, 2 additional hits can be a difference between life and death (a word of advice, don't push the heart too deep into the room, because it can be launched with a blank effect, and if you used any, or got hit with an armor during the battle, it can get problematic to look for an invisible object in a big ass room. Just leave it near the door). Another tip I'll give is don't feel obligated to go into oubliette every single run. It can be a very unforgiving place for an early game, and frankly, the more I went into it, the more I disliked it, which isn't cool since it's a pretty neat floor actually, just a bit annoying. You have no idea how many runs you can save by listening to this, lmao.

15:28 quick tip: you can see what weapons you have (not the item tho) just by opening the ammonicon in the breach so you can save some time by not constantly loading and leaving first floor

I have 161 hours in EtG and I had no idea there was an invisible path to the Planar Lead. I got it on a run with the jetpack.

You can also do what I did to unlock the gunslinger. Miraculously survive as the paradox. Go into the gunslinger run. Get the blackhole gun in floor 2 and let the synergies do all the busy work. That run was something man.

I came here after beating my past for the first time with the pilot.. I felt so strong until I realized that I had barely done 10% of the game 😭 Love this game so much though, it's so rewarding to beat a boss ! 💪🏼

It took me 6 months to finish this incredible game and I've never had that experience in any game I've played for my 15 years of console gaming. It usually takes me a week or so to get every bit of content in a game, but here the long process is part of it. Without that process I never wouldve been so good at bullet dodging, defeating bosses, taking huge ass risks or even battling the damn lich and rat with just one heart. This game has definitely taught me how to "git gud" and is truly a masterpiece of rouge likes. I literally cannot tell you how amazing this game is, to truly understand how much of a masterpiece this game is, is to *Enter The Gungeon.*

9:12 you can actually roll over this trail of bullets without walking around, your roll distance is enough to do this

Ok first off, how long did this take you? 5 years? Second, what's all the characters in the game? Third, I heard there was lots of references from other games in this. If so, which ones? P.s have you played or beat nuclear throne?

i think a deep dive into the completionist extras would be cool! you could also include secret weapons like the mimic gun or high dragonfire, secret gungeoneers like the cormorant or the resourceful rat, or even lesser known secrets like the black market or super tonic the sledge dog! :D

7:01 In the Past boss fights you keep all your blanks, so you can hoard blanks trough the run to use them in a past boss if you're having problema! The only exception is the Pilot past, where you will have your normal two blanks. Hope this is useful to someone new to the game!

Great vid! I've heard ETG was a good game but never paid much attention to it. I think this is the little push I needed to try it out. Also I hope you make more long form videos like this. The quality of this video made me think you had at least 10k subs. You have a real talent for content creating

i did literally everything in this game but i watched this guide just because i felt nostalgic for it . I can't believe how people dismissed this game when it's in my humble opinion the best evolution of nuclear throne X the binding of isaac . not only the game is well made that even broken runs are not guarantee to win if you can't dodge bullets etc.. the game got seriously ton of awesome QoL as also an actual progression that not half baked like other game like it . Edit: i never felt happy more than when we got the last update and the "unfinished gun" got it finished version . were in it description it says "thank you for playing" . what a sincere message by the devs to us the player .

It's nice to see that, even 5 years later, the community is still active

Dude what a fantastic video. You are underrated in subscriber count. Gungeon is the one rougelike I keep coming back too because its so good, I wish more people made content on it.

Amazing video!! Well done this was great to watch!

I know that this video was created a 1 year ago but I started to play enter the gungeon now and when I watched your video I was stunned by the amount of things to do in this game to full beat it. Today on my birthday i managed to unlock gunslinger on first try because of black hole gun that is way too op and also i unlocked all skins for characters, unlocked boss rush and defeated advanxe Dragun on ny first try! The only thing that will be like a achievement for completing 100% of the game is to beat rat in punchout. Great video by the way and keep up the good work bro!

I don't know if many will know the grind you put into this but thank you

wow this video was amazing and helpful. great job, keep up the good work!!!!!

This might be the first underrated youtuber i have ever seen that deserves more subs Actually keep on the work, amazing video

Such a well made video this should have way more views!

unlocking the gunslinger is a pain in the ass

Really I had no idea i just had to give the blacksmith the items for the gun to kill the past once. That helps so much thank you!!!💖💖💖

Bro… I didn’t know there was an invisible path to get the planar lead, I thought I had to get the Jetpack or wax wings to get over there. 😭

The one gun i recommend over anything as the gunslinger is the blackhole gun. It makes you safe 99% of the time outside certain attacks, it also has 3 tendrils that attack any and all enemies as long as the blackhole exists. It can kill bosses in as little as 5 shots and clear rooms instantly if needed. Another item i recommend if you ever find it is the clone, which is essentially a free win because youll keep any and all items if you die and get sent back to the first chamber.

ive beeten this game countless times but i still clicked on this video immediately after seeing it on my home page

This is going to take me 20 years to fully complete

this is my first time seeing your channel, and the bits you do with the pronunciation of some words is fun.

Hey man, love this video! I just killed my first past and I'm surely going for them all and the Lich. Keep up the good work 10/10!!

This was really helfull, I enjoy this game much more now that I knda know what to do. This video deserves more apreciation.👍

I appreciate your videos. Finally beat the dragun for the first time after nearly 50 hours 😭 This was my first bullet hell and although I am trash, it’s still a super fun game!

i jus recently got into gungeon and have been tryna figure out wtf to do after beatin it the first time, This videos the shit 💯💯

I reserved my like and comment until you checked your pronunciation of "oubliette" within the video. It was fun that you corrected your mistake before releasing, but still allowed us to see it being made.

This video is absolute gold

What actually happend is the paradox shot the lich with the bullet that could kill the past which sent the lich into the past where he was the gunslinger, so the bullet cannot kill the future, but only the past.

this was a great video, please keep making content

This is such a goddamn good video for a guy with 296 subscribers. Very nice, thank you very much for this.

You need more subscribers, this is a good quality video. Well done

Got this game 2 months ago and just came back to playing it you put a lot of effort into this vid and you have my respect I can’t even past chamber 3 man😭

Been experiencing this game for about 7 years, im ready to find out.

My winning run took a HUGE amount of luck and time, but I eventually beat the game just yesterday. My bosses were: Bullet King, Beholster, Cannonbalrog, High Priestess, and of course, the Dragun. Basically my entire run came down to finding the Vulcan minigun on Floor 1, and the C0m4nd0 multi rocket launcher on Floor 2, because apparently you can dual wield both of them at the same time, absolutely SHREDDING through boss healthbars

You can also fly across if you have wax wings, I was able to cheese my way through the 'bullet that can kill the past' quest by lucking out and equipping wax wings that allowed me to fly across safely

Love gungeon. Lost count of how long ive played over xbox, switch and pc

I know they gave the final update to gungeon but they should atleast implement a feature that allows you to buy a single item or gun before any run because after the you completed all the unlocks and challenges you are stuck with a crap ton of credits that you can barely use

The only thing I haven't done is getting all the keys in one go by doing a perfect rat boss punch out

Great video! Just one small thing that I noticed. The pilot's starting gun actually doesn't drop shellings so you can't use it to reveal the path to the Planar Lead in the Hollow. Atleast it should be that way unless they've changed it at some point.

I only recently got the gunslinger. Just getting him took me more than double the time it did to go from just starting the game to beating bullet hell. I hold zero regrets

Damn I forgot I did al of this, it’s quite a lot when you sum it up like this. After your done with this though you still have to collect some items if you want to clear the whole game.

very helpful thank you

Also for the Gunslinger run, I think trying rainbow run with going through secret floors 1&2, that gives you at least 8 really good items to fight the lich with, but if you happen to pick up something like clone, as high as 16, with a possibility at 10 extra hearts. The best part about this though is the fact you can get guns with synergies like the AKey which gives you unlimited ammo and can allow you to pick up passives till you get to the lich. Passives like explosive bullets and hungry bullets help a lot because you just bypass dodging and weaving with a high fire rate weapon like the AKey. I did this and beat the lich with 5 whole hearts to spare.

Amazing guide thx.

The fact you went to check oubliette's spelling is golden ;)

Great video

Your video helped me win finally now i wanna unlock the bullet and robot and everyone anyone you recommend i should unlock first!

99th run Holy shit its MUCH deeper then i thought... WISH ME LUCKKKKK!!!!!

Me watching the entire video not knowing the game

great video

An item or gun that allows flight can also get you to the 2nd and 3rd components for the bullet that can kill the past. Of course, that's also RNG dependent.

ok, i have good and bad thinsg whit this vedeo, first of the good: great explanatsion of what to do and how evrything works, ive 100%ed the game myself but i can see a new player finding this verry usefull to try and see how far they want to go, the bad: some lore parts are a bit wrong but for the rest its completly acurate, also the arcade gunpouder part, theres an extra minecart that rides you directly to the begining so no need to teleport outa there, the ugly: i just wanted to make a joke about a relly old movie but in all serioaness this is a great video

Just learned that boss loot pedestals can be mimics. That's how you put the fear of god in someone

This is WAY more complicated than I thought it would be

15:6 didn't knew that gods die too

I got recommended this vid more ppl will see ur channel and you will grow

I think the best option when going to bullet hell is getting Gunther (because he has infinite ammo) and rainbow mode + maybe clone so you can stock up on health items and bullet upgrades. But I only got to the second phase of the boss as of now ;-;

I love this game it has so much replayability I still haven't finished it

OMG I JUST BEAT THE GAME!!!!! Blank Bullet, Relodstone and a fast shooting gun like Gungine combo is op for the final Lich.

I absolutely suck at this game but like it a lot, any tips for bosses? (having a hard time dodging bullethellish movesets q.q) Really well executed video, entertaining and informative, gonna watch more

14:38 in my headcanon kaliber summoned another version of the lich because kaliber likes the liches gunplay, and didnt want to see them defeated.

Funny, Isaac and Atomicrops had me hooked instantly, but EtG meh... doesn't help that I'm terrible at it (while beating the other two);o) But your editing is impeccable, the dry humour get's me, well structured, great video! Blazing Beaks? Cult of the Lamb? RAD? Rogue Book?

Yoo you should put the rat room in and do a video on the whole side quest I’ve completed the whole game. I really like that you made a video when I first started playing this game. It was back is 2015 when I found it and nobody had made videos for this game!! So I learned everything about the game on my own. You should definitely make a side quest video. Incase I missed something but I don’t think I have.

My gunslinger run was so good, did it in rainbow mode. Killed ouch as paradox with a Yari launcher, pretty normal run, then as the gunslinger I found some spice and a clone, got to 6th chamber died in bullet hell. Then I found another clone, had tons of spice active, many master rounds in my inventory and a dream. I also had the raiden coil and because of all my spice it literally cleared rooms in average of 4-10 seconds. Lunch fight was easy after that lol

please make a deeper dive! love the vod because no one makes guneon content (that im aware of).

you can roll into the wall for s while staying in one place for the impossible bullets in question 16:59

Just unlock the platinum bullets and you win. After just 1 or 2 floors even your starter weapon will shred everything.

damn...... what a vid man.I finished etg 100% like 2 years ago but your video gives me so much memory about all my advancements in the game (which turned out to be very long and hard)it’s too sad that you didn’t talk about the robot and the bullet because their story is interesting but honestly why ask for more than this video which is already incredible. Keep it up mate +1 there

i 0ne shot every form of the lich with a god tier ranbow run

Holy hot damn that’s way more then I bargained for.

I feel called out when he put the bullet parts in and showed the runs amount

Here’s a fun lil’ fact: wax wings make assembling the bullet pieces much easier.

When i finally beat the gun lich on my first time ever actually making it to him and going in with only half health, I was done. :P

Welp, I'm 41 hours in and I FINALLY beat the Dragun glad its only 2 minutes of the process

the percentage of people who managed to finish the game must be under 0,1% or less of people who bought the game.

just tried following this to unlock the gunslinger and forgot to pick up the bullet to kill the past on the second run 😭 had a great load out too

I just beat killed the dragon after 139 hours of playing this game. Also I had no idea that you had to destroy the head so now I have to kill it again so I can give it’s part to the blacksmith 😢

My progress 20 hours: Killed the Dragun 30 hours: Killed the four main pasts 40 hours: Killed Lich 80 hours: Unlocked Gunslinger, all the alternate starting guns and beat the Rat I think the only thing left is the achievements, fortunately none of them seem absurd or too much time consuming. Then I’ll finally start Exit. Awesome video btw, it’s very well put together and helped me a ton.

It's easy once you get the rainbow run and the Gunther. Restart until you get the Gunther in the first chest, always use it, improve your bullets every floor and beat the game every time with any character.

🤦🏽‍♂️I walked right pass that purple stuff never knowing I could interact with it😂😂

i just 100'd the game and got finished gun, and i still want to play more!

294 deaths and I got the cheesiest gear I could gave asked for... black hole gun with helix and the backup gun, evolver fully evolved, plus both vials for slowing enemies and bullets. Omg I've been waiting for this day to top it off I got master round and immediately took it to the tinker.

Make some more videos. Or record and post your fun gungeon runs. Lol your content is good bro don't stop :)

dawg, I can't even make it to chamber 5 WITH the 2nd floor elevator fixed, and I'm not good enough to get the tinkerer 3 armor to fix the next elevator.

Well that sounds fun and I havnt even gotten past floor 3

in theory you aren't killing the future, it is still the past of the lych where the gunman is able to reach the end of the gungeon

whats the song at the 19:30? i cant remember what its called , but it goes so hard, I tried to look for it on spotify but i cant find it. Also great video, i wish i saw this before i got 100% nvm i just remembered it pilots pasts theme, odd that not a single one of the past themes are on spotify, not even atleast exit the gungeons playlist

I got into Etg about a week ago and just beat dragun for the first time and am 3/4 items on the bullet.. super fun game, time goes by fast. The journey ahead seems daunting, lich is scary, the final double run seems crazy, even tho gunslinger seems op. Great video, thank you.

The prime primer is easily the hardest one to get threw normal play

…okay, I have all things for blacksmith except for the shell from 5th floor. First thing I got was the amulet.

It took me 1-2 years of on and off playing. I just beat all 3 of Lich in billet hell!!!

Nearly 30 hours and +70 attempts, but finally reached The Gun that Killed the Past with Pilot for my first time.

"The first option, which should be available to every gungeoneer to reveal the invisible path..." Pilot: "Am I a joke to you?"
