Learn how to rescue various NPCs scattered throughout the Gungeon in Enter the Gungeon. This guide covers their locations and any specific requirements for their rescue.
This section of the guide focuses on locating and rescuing the various NPCs you may encounter within the Gungeon. Rescuing these characters can often lead to new services, items, or even affect your runs in beneficial ways.
Walkthrough
- 1Find the NPC: NPCs are typically found in specific rooms or sometimes randomly on dungeon floors. Keep an eye out for unique character sprites or dialogue prompts.
- 2Interact with the NPC: Approach the NPC and interact with them. Some may require a specific item, a certain amount of currency, or simply to be freed from a nearby threat.
- 3Fulfill Requirements: If an NPC has a requirement, ensure you meet it. This might involve clearing enemies, paying a fee, or using a specific item.
- 4Escort or Release: Once freed or their condition is met, the NPC will either join you to be escorted to a safe location (like your starting area) or will remain in their spot, now offering their services.
Tips
- Pay attention to the minimap for any unusual room layouts or icons that might indicate an NPC's presence.
- Some NPCs are tied to specific quests or achievements, so rescuing them might be part of a larger goal.
- Always have some currency on hand, as many NPCs require payment for their services or for their rescue.
- If an NPC is in danger, prioritize clearing the enemies around them before attempting to interact.
Rescued NPCs often provide valuable services such as selling items, offering unique weapons, providing passive buffs, or unlocking new game mechanics. The specific reward depends on the NPC rescued.
