Alright, so you're looking to find those sneaky secret rooms in Enter the Gungeon? Smart move! They can be packed with goodies, so let's get you in on the secret. What are Secret Rooms? Basically, they're hidden rooms. Most chambers will have one, but sometimes you'll get lucky and find more, or sometimes, well, none. Don't get discouraged! How to Open Them: Your best friend here is a blank. Using a blank will pop open the entrance to a secret room. Any item that triggers a blank effect, like Armor, will also do the trick. Certain explosives work too, like the Bomb, Lil' Bomber, or even the explosion from a fused chest. Spotting the Entrance: Once you shoot a wall with a weapon that uses ammo, it'll visibly crack, showing you there's something behind it. You can also spot these entrances with: * Brick of Cash * Map * Gungeon Blueprint * The Insight synergy Heads up: If you're at full health, you might be able to push hearts into an unopened secret room. It's a bit of a gamble, but worth a shot! What's Inside? Oh, the good stuff! Secret rooms can hold: * Hearts * Keys * Armor * Blanks * Ammo * Glass Guon Stones * Chests * Shrines * A Mirror * NPCs like Old Red, Cursula, Professor Goopton, Flynt, Trorc, Winchester, The Lost Adventurer, Ser Manuel, Witches, Old Man, and Brother Albern. * Even rare items like High Dragunfire! * And sometimes, Evil Munchers. Keep in mind, rooms with NPCs or special objects often generate separately, meaning they can add extra rooms to a chamber. Messages from Beyond: You'll often find notes in these rooms. They can be from the Blobulonian Army (like notes from Quartermaster Blorp or Adjutant Osgoo) or other unfortunate adventurers. Some are funny, some are sad, and some are just plain cryptic. Pro-Tips for Finding Them: * You can sometimes find secret room entrances without wasting ammo. Try walking in a straight line into walls you suspect might hide a passage. If your character does their walking animation, there might be a secret door there. This can also reveal the shortcut to the Oubliette, but remember, you still need to put out the bonfire to open that one. * Don't worry about the Resourceful Rat stealing your loot in secret rooms. He won't touch pickups there! However, he *will* take items you drop yourself within the room. Happy hunting, and may your secret room finds be bountiful!
