All NPCs & Merchants Guide

NPCs in Enter the Gungeon come in two groups: some appear inside the Gungeon and only settle in Fenda once rescued or dealt with, while others live in Fenda and handle unlocks, shops and game modes. The same NPC often offers different services on each side, so this guide is split the same way.

The first half covers NPCs inside the Gungeon (shops, special exchanges, secret-room-only, challenges and lore); the second half covers Fenda. Four of them appear on both sides — the Fenda entry is marked in its heading, and the Gungeon entry links straight to it.

Dungeon NPCs

Shops

Comerciante – Bello (main shopkeeper)

Comerciante – Bello runs the main shop on every floor except the Forja, Resourceful Rat's Lair, R&G Dept., and Bullet Hell. His stock includes random Armas, Itens, Apagão, Mapa, and Pedra Guon de Vidro.

• Firing a weapon in his shop earns a warning; a second offense doubles all prices; a third closes the shop permanently
• Every floor's shop always stocks at least one Chave
• Some items trigger special effects when bought from a shop

Comerciante de festins – Old Red

Comerciante de festins – Old Red specialises in Apagão-related items, including Ammolets and the Apagão Ancião. She must be rescued from her cell in Enter the Gungeon before she begins appearing in shops.

Bruxa comerciante – Cursula

Bruxa comerciante – Cursula sells magic items and charming guns at a steep 50% discount — the deepest in the game. The catch is that every purchase raises Curse by 2.5, so weigh the half-price tag against the Curse before buying. She must be rescued before appearing in shops.

Comerciante de líquidos – Professor Goopton

Comerciante de líquidos – Professor Goopton specialises in goop, poison, and fluid-related items at a 20% discount. He must be rescued before appearing in Enter the Gungeon and Fenda. His second shop is covered in Comerciante de líquidos – Professor Goopton (Fenda).

Comerciante de chaves – Flynt

Comerciante de chaves – Flynt accepts Chave instead of Cápsulas. He sells chest- and key-related items. He must be rescued before appearing in shops.

Comerciante de armas – Trorc

Comerciante de armas – Trorc sells military-themed guns and items at a 20% discount. He must be rescued before appearing in Enter the Gungeon and Fenda. His second shop is covered in Comerciante de armas – Trorc (Fenda).

How prices are calculated

A price is the Qualidade's base cost × the floor's price multiplier × the merchant's discount × any item discount. Base costs (Cápsulas) are S qualidade 120, A qualidade 90, B qualidade 65, C qualidade 45, and D qualidade 35 Cápsulas; for pickups it is 30 for Munição and Coração, 25 for Armadura and Chave, 20 for Apagão and Meio coração, and 10 for Pedra Guon de Vidro.

• Merchant discounts: Bruxa comerciante – Cursula ×0.5 (but she adds Curse — see What Is Curse? Effects and How to Lower It); Comerciante de líquidos – Professor Goopton and Comerciante de armas – Trorc ×0.8; every Black Market merchant ×0.5, except Comerciante de chaves – Flynt's Chave-priced goods (see Demon Face)
• Item discounts: Moeda de Ferro ×0.8, Personalidade Irresistível ×0.85, Revólver do Sorriso ×0.85
• Exceptions: Dinheiro de Virada de Mesa always costs 50 Cápsulas; Detonador Primordial (Bullet That Can Kill the Past Guide) and the Chave Roída ignore every discount
• Before they are unlocked, Máscara de Palhaço, Broca, and Bolsa de Espólios are priced at 9999 Cápsulas and can only be obtained by stealing them or forcing the shop to close (How to Steal from Shops)

Special Exchanges & Services

Comprador rastejante

Comprador rastejante buys your guns and items for Cápsulas at approximately 45% of their base price. If the player holds a Bala Mestra, a dedicated Comprador rastejante room appears in the Hollow.

• S-quality items yield ~54 Cápsulas; Lixo yields ~3 Cápsulas
• Cannot sell: Esponja, Anel da Proteção Avarenta, Televisão Avariada, or Chaves Improvisadas Confiáveis

Vampira

After being rescued, Vampira occasionally appears beside Comerciante – Bello's shop or in her own cross-shaped room. She exchanges Meio coração for Cápsulas at a rate of 20 × the floor's price multiplier.

• Selling a Coração cheio yields more Cápsulas than buying one from the shop costs — highly profitable
• Trading with Vampira does not count as taking damage and will not break Pedra Guon de Vidro or reset Polaris/Metrônomo streaks
• The Robô cannot trade with Vampira
• Trading with Vampira three times unlocks Tábua

Ferreira

Ferreira is found in the Forja's shop, where she also sells three items and three pickups.

Her main role is collecting the four components needed to forge the Bala que Pode Matar o Passado: Detonador Primordial, Pólvora Arcana, Chumbo Planar, and Cápsula de Obsidiana.

Each time you pass through with a component, she takes it and records the progress. Once all four are collected, the completed bullet can be carried into the next run to challenge the final boss.

• Bring the Televisão Avariada to unlock The Robô character
• Bring Bracelete de Rubi to have her upgrade an item
• Comerciante da Fenda – Ox's replacement arm is found in the Forja, but must be returned to Comerciante da Fenda – Ox in the Fenda (not given to the Ferreira) — see his entry

Enfermeiras – Patches and Mendy

Enfermeiras – Patches and Mendy appear in hidden rooms in Enter the Gungeon. They repair sawed-off or otherwise damaged guns — bring a broken weapon to them and they will restore it for free.

Comerciante de sinergias – Synergrace

Comerciante de sinergias – Synergrace occasionally appears in Enter the Gungeon after being rescued. She sells a Synergy Chest — an unlocked chest that may contain an item able to synergise with your current loadout.

• She refuses to sell if you have no weapons or items capable of triggering a synergy
• The synergy chest is not guaranteed to produce a synergy-related item
• Synergy Chest can be Glitch Chest
• In Rainbow Mode, synergy chests yield nothing
• Purchasing from her 3 times unlocks Pokebala

Secret Room NPCs

Bruxas da troca de armas

The three Bruxas da troca de armas — Squintie, Beakie, and Hunchie — appear in secret rooms in Enter the Gungeon (generated separately from normal secret rooms, so they don't replace them). Trade any gun and gain 2 Curse to receive a gun of equal or higher Qualidade in return. The exchange can only be made once per encounter.

• The replacement gun is always equal to or one tier higher than the traded gun
• Adds 2 Curse — factor this into Curse-sensitive runs
• Works normally in Rainbow Mode

Ancião

The Ancião appears in secret rooms in Enter the Gungeon (generated separately, like the Bruxas da troca de armas). He gives the player a free random gun or item, no strings attached.

• In co-op, the Ancião refuses to give anything

Buscador da verdade – Brother Albern

Buscador da verdade – Brother Albern appears in secret rooms in Enter the Gungeon. He poses a question to the player and rewards them with a pickup, item, or gun depending on their answer.

Challenges & Minigames

Responsável pelo tiro ao alvo – Winchester

Responsável pelo tiro ao alvo – Winchester runs a shooting minigame in Enter the Gungeon. Targets hit determine the Qualidade of the reward chest. See the Winchester Minigame Guide for full rules and tips.

Rei dos Atiradores & Criado do rei

Rei dos Atiradores offers wager challenges in Enter the Gungeon. Bet 18–22 Cápsulas, then complete the next room under a specific condition to win your bet back plus a gun or item reward. He must be rescued before appearing.

Challenge types: clear the room without taking damage; without dodge rolling; using only a provided gun (Klobbe, Lança-Ervilhas, Derringer, Pistola de Grampo, or Casey); or in Challenge Mode (requires Dado de desafios – Daisuke to have returned to Fenda).

• You must talk to him and place the wager before entering; the room is accessible either way, but walking in first simply forfeits that wager opportunity
• The provided gun cannot be dropped
• Completing 10 challenges and speaking to him in Fenda unlocks the Coruja
• No reward is given in Rainbow Mode — a note is left instead

Aventureiro perdido

Aventureiro perdido appears in hidden rooms that have a map on the wall. Speaking to him reveals the full room layout of the current floor. He returns to Fenda after being rescued. His entry after being rescued is Aventureiro perdido (Fenda).

Lore & Information

Blockner

Blockner appears in an optional duel room in Enter the Gungeon. Defeating him yields an item reward and is connected to Ser Manuel's side quest. He appears in Fenda after certain conditions are met. His later entry is Blockner (Fenda).

Fenda NPCs

Lore & Dialogue

Bêbado

The Bêbado sits in the lower left of Fenda from the very beginning — no rescue needed, and he sells nothing. Talk to him after defeating a boss or rescuing a new NPC and he will tell stories and offer wry commentary about that event.

Shops

Comerciante da Fenda – Ox & Comerciante da Fenda – Cadence

Comerciante da Fenda – Ox and Comerciante da Fenda – Cadence share a single cell (in the Castelo do Senhor de Chumbo or Balabirinto - Interior) and open a shop in Fenda once rescued. The shop trades in Crédito da Hegemonias and sells unlocks — paying adds the gun or item to Enter the Gungeon's loot pool rather than handing it to you directly. When a row of stock sells out, new wares appear the next time Fenda reloads; buying everything costs 682 Credits in total.

• Comerciante da Fenda – Ox's side quest: after defeating the Dragarma, his replacement arm can be found in the Forja; carry it all the way back to Fenda to unlock Clone

Comerciante alienígena – Doug

Comerciante alienígena – Doug is imprisoned in a cell in the Balabirinto - Interior, Abadia da Vera Arma, or Mina de Pólvora.

Once rescued he occasionally appears in the lower center of Fenda; the chance depends on the last chamber reached in the previous run (Castelo do Senhor de Chumbo 20%, Balabirinto - Interior 40%, Mina de Pólvora 60%, Hollow 80%, Forja 100%).

He sells unlocks for Crédito da Hegemonias, stocking only 2 items at a time and restocking once both are bought. Buying everything costs 852 Credits and additionally unlocks Balas Ornadas.

Comerciante de líquidos – Professor Goopton (Fenda)

After you buy something from Comerciante de líquidos – Professor Goopton's shop in Enter the Gungeon, he sets up a second store in the upper right of Fenda, selling goop-themed gun and item unlocks (added to Enter the Gungeon's loot pool) for Crédito da Hegemonias. Buying everything costs 146 Credits.

For his in-Gungeon inventory, see his Dungeon NPC entry.

Comerciante de armas – Trorc (Fenda)

After you buy something from Comerciante de armas – Trorc's shop in Enter the Gungeon, he sets up a second store in the lower left of Fenda, selling military-themed gun and item unlocks (added to Enter the Gungeon's loot pool) for Crédito da Hegemonias. Buying everything costs 124 Credits.

For his in-Gungeon inventory, see his Dungeon NPC entry.

Game Modes

Cão do modo turbo – Tonic the Sledge-Dog

Cão do modo turbo – Tonic the Sledge-Dog is a blue St. Bernard and an homage to Sonic the Hedgehog. His cell only appears after the Dragarma has been defeated; once freed he settles in the upper right of Fenda. Talking to him toggles Turbo Mode on and off for free, dramatically speeding up the whole game. See the Special Game Modes Guide (Turbo, Rainbow, Blessed & More) for a full mode overview.

Feiticeira das bênçãos

Feiticeira das bênçãos can only be rescued from Enter the Gungeon after defeating the Dragarma; she then settles in the upper right of Fenda. For 6 Crédito da Hegemonias she blesses your next run: you carry a single gun that keeps transforming at random (it changes after enough damage dealt, kills, ammo depletion, or time in combat) and cannot pick up other guns. See the Special Game Modes Guide (Turbo, Rainbow, Blessed & More) for a full mode overview.

• Completing a blessed run unlocks Gunther
• During a blessed run, bosses drop no Crédito da Hegemonias, shops sell no guns, and shortcut elevators are unavailable

Consertador

Consertador is Fenda's elevator engineer, in charge of building shortcut elevators that let you start a run on a later floor. After speaking to him in Fenda, he appears in elevator shafts: wait in a floor's first room until the elevator rises away, then drop down the shaft to find him.

Deliver the materials listed below (they can be accumulated over multiple runs, or paid off directly with Crédito da Hegemonias) and the elevator room in Fenda will grant direct access to the corresponding floor. Each completed shortcut also rewards a gun or item.

Taking a shortcut straight to a deeper floor spawns Rato engenhoso, wearing a crude mask to impersonate Comerciante – Bello, in that floor's elevator entrance room.

He lays out three free guns of the same Qualidade and lets you take some to make up for the loot you skipped: Balabirinto - Interior — D qualidade, pick 1; Mina de Pólvora — C qualidade, pick 1; Hollow — B qualidade, pick 2; Forja — B qualidade, take all 3. The selection stays the same until you defeat that floor's boss.

Dupla de caçadores – Frifle and the Grey Mauser

Once rescued, Dupla de caçadores – Frifle and the Grey Mauser station themselves in the lower right of Fenda and hand out hunting contracts. You hold one contract at a time and complete it by killing the required number of target enemies in Enter the Gungeon; progress carries over between runs and is never lost to death or restarts. Each completed contract awards 5 Crédito da Hegemonias and unlocks the corresponding gun or item.

• Once all set contracts are done, they switch to repeatable random contracts (kill 20 of a given enemy for 5 Crédito da Hegemonias)

Comerciante arco-íris – Bowler

Comerciante arco-íris – Bowler's cell only appears after the Dragarma has been defeated. Once freed, talking to him toggles Rainbow Mode on and off for free: a Rainbow Chest spawns at the start of each chamber but you may take only one item from it, while all other chests and boss drops are replaced with notes from Comerciante arco-íris – Bowler. See the Special Game Modes Guide (Turbo, Rainbow, Blessed & More) for a full mode overview.

Dado de desafios – Daisuke

Dado de desafios – Daisuke's cell only appears after defeating the Dragarma once, or after using the dice shrine 3 times. Once rescued he settles in the upper right of Fenda; talking to him enables Challenge Mode for the next run, applying random modifiers to every room and raising the difficulty considerably. After beating Challenge Mode once, you can instead enable the even harder Double Challenge Mode. See the Special Game Modes Guide (Turbo, Rainbow, Blessed & More) for a full mode overview.

• After his rescue, Rei dos Atiradores's wager challenges gain a Challenge Mode option

Lore & Information

Aventureiro perdido (Fenda)

After being rescued, he appears in Fenda; talking to him yields hints about the secret chambers.

Ser Manuel

Ser Manuel needs no rescue — he is the tutorial instructor in the Câmara 0. After you avenge him by defeating Blockner in the Mina de Pólvora, he appears in the lower left of Fenda.

Blockner (Fenda)

After Blockner is defeated in the Mina de Pólvora, his ghost appears in Fenda, and he may later reappear in Enter the Gungeon as a miniboss. Defeating him unlocks Escudo do Traidor and Distintivo.

Goblin da beirada

The Goblin da beirada sits on a ledge in the lower right of Fenda with her helmet beside her. Kick the helmet off the ledge and she will head into Enter the Gungeon to retrieve it — you must then rescue her again from a cell on a deeper floor. After rescuing her 4 times, she chains the helmet down for good and Elmo de Explosões is unlocked.
