All NPCs & Merchants Guide

NPCs in Enter the Gungeon come in two groups: some appear inside the Gungeon and only settle in Брешь once rescued or dealt with, while others live in Брешь 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 Брешь. Four of them appear on both sides — the Брешь entry is marked in its heading, and the Gungeon entry links straight to it.

Dungeon NPCs

Shops

Торговец – Белло (main shopkeeper)

Торговец – Белло runs the main shop on every floor except the Кузня, Resourceful Rat's Lair, R&G Dept., and Bullet Hell. His stock includes random Оружие, Предметы, Пустышка, Карта, and Стеклянный камень Гуона.

• 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 Ключ
• Some items trigger special effects when bought from a shop

Торговец холостыми – Старый Красный

Торговец холостыми – Старый Красный specialises in Пустышка-related items, including Ammolets and the Старейшая пустышка. She must be rescued from her cell in Enter the Gungeon before she begins appearing in shops.

Ведьма-торговка – Курсула

Ведьма-торговка – Курсула 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.

Торговец жидкостями – Профессор Гуптон

Торговец жидкостями – Профессор Гуптон specialises in goop, poison, and fluid-related items at a 20% discount. He must be rescued before appearing in Enter the Gungeon and Брешь. His second shop is covered in Торговец жидкостями – Профессор Гуптон (Брешь).

Торговец ключами – Флинт

Торговец ключами – Флинт accepts Ключ instead of Гильзы. He sells chest- and key-related items. He must be rescued before appearing in shops.

Торговец оружием – Трорк

Торговец оружием – Трорк sells military-themed guns and items at a 20% discount. He must be rescued before appearing in Enter the Gungeon and Брешь. His second shop is covered in Торговец оружием – Трорк (Брешь).

How prices are calculated

A price is the Качество's base cost × the floor's price multiplier × the merchant's discount × any item discount. Base costs (Гильзы) are S качество 120, A качество 90, B качество 65, C качество 45, and D качество 35 Гильзы; for pickups it is 30 for Боеприпасы and Сердце, 25 for Доспехи and Ключ, 20 for Пустышка and Половина сердца, and 10 for Стеклянный камень Гуона.

• Merchant discounts: Ведьма-торговка – Курсула ×0.5 (but she adds Curse — see What Is Curse? Effects and How to Lower It); Торговец жидкостями – Профессор Гуптон and Торговец оружием – Трорк ×0.8; every Black Market merchant ×0.5, except Торговец ключами – Флинт's Ключ-priced goods (see Demon Face)
• Item discounts: Железная монета ×0.8, Обезоруживающая личность ×0.85, Револьвер Весельчака ×0.85
• Exceptions: Столотехника денег always costs 50 Гильзы; Исходный Капсюль (Bullet That Can Kill the Past Guide) and the Обглоданный ключ ignore every discount
• Before they are unlocked, Маска клоуна, Бур, and Сумка для трофеев are priced at 9999 Гильзы and can only be obtained by stealing them or forcing the shop to close (How to Steal from Shops)

Special Exchanges & Services

Скупщик

Скупщик buys your guns and items for Гильзы at approximately 45% of their base price. If the player holds a Патрон Мастера, a dedicated Скупщик room appears in the Hollow.

• S-quality items yield ~54 Гильзы; Хлам yields ~3 Гильзы
• Cannot sell: Губка, Кольцо защиты скупости, Сгоревший телевизор, or Надежные отмычки

Вампирша

After being rescued, Вампирша occasionally appears beside Торговец – Белло's shop or in her own cross-shaped room. She exchanges Половина сердца for Гильзы at a rate of 20 × the floor's price multiplier.

• Selling a Полное сердце yields more Гильзы than buying one from the shop costs — highly profitable
• Trading with Вампирша does not count as taking damage and will not break Стеклянный камень Гуона or reset Полярис/Метроном streaks
• The Робот cannot trade with Вампирша
• Trading with Вампирша three times unlocks Деревянная балка

Кузнец

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

Her main role is collecting the four components needed to forge the Пуля, убивающая прошлое: Исходный Капсюль, Сокровенный порох, Планарный свинец, and Обсидиановая гильза.

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 Сгоревший телевизор to unlock The Робот character
• Bring Рубиновый браслет to have her upgrade an item
• Торговец в Бреши – Окс's replacement arm is found in the Кузня, but must be returned to Торговец в Бреши – Окс in the Брешь (not given to the Кузнец) — see his entry

Медсёстры – Пэтчес и Мэнди

Медсёстры – Пэтчес и Мэнди 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.

Торговка синергиями – Синергрейс

Торговка синергиями – Синергрейс 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 Ремень мачо

Secret Room NPCs

Ведьмы, меняющие оружие

The three Ведьмы, меняющие оружие — 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 Качество 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

Старик

The Старик appears in secret rooms in Enter the Gungeon (generated separately, like the Ведьмы, меняющие оружие). He gives the player a free random gun or item, no strings attached.

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

Искатель истины – Брат Альберн

Искатель истины – Брат Альберн 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

Хозяин тира – Винчестер

Хозяин тира – Винчестер runs a shooting minigame in Enter the Gungeon. Targets hit determine the Качество of the reward chest. See the Winchester Minigame Guide for full rules and tips.

Король-стрелок & Слуга короля

Король-стрелок offers wager challenges in Enter the Gungeon. Bet 18–22 Гильзы, 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 (Клоббе, Горохострел, Дерринджер, Гвоздевой пистолет, or Кейси); or in Challenge Mode (requires Кубик испытаний – Дайсукэ to have returned to Брешь).

• 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 Брешь unlocks the Сова
• No reward is given in Rainbow Mode — a note is left instead

Потерянный искатель приключений

Потерянный искатель приключений 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 Брешь after being rescued. His entry after being rescued is Потерянный искатель приключений (Брешь).

Lore & Information

Блокнер

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

Брешь NPCs

Lore & Dialogue

Пьяница

The Пьяница sits in the lower left of Брешь 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

Торговец в Бреши – Окс & Торговец в Бреши – Каденс

Торговец в Бреши – Окс and Торговец в Бреши – Каденс share a single cell (in the Цитадель Свинцового Властелина or Собственно Оружелье) and open a shop in Брешь once rescued. The shop trades in Кредит Гегемонииs 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 Брешь reloads; buying everything costs 682 Credits in total.

• Торговец в Бреши – Окс's side quest: after defeating the Ружезмей, his replacement arm can be found in the Кузня; carry it all the way back to Брешь to unlock Клон

Инопланетный торговец – Даг

Инопланетный торговец – Даг is imprisoned in a cell in the Собственно Оружелье, Аббатство Истинной Пушки, or Черная Пороховая Шахта.

Once rescued he occasionally appears in the lower center of Брешь; the chance depends on the last chamber reached in the previous run (Цитадель Свинцового Властелина 20%, Собственно Оружелье 40%, Черная Пороховая Шахта 60%, Hollow 80%, Кузня 100%).

He sells unlocks for Кредит Гегемонииs, stocking only 2 items at a time and restocking once both are bought. Buying everything costs 852 Credits and additionally unlocks Золоченые пули.

Торговец жидкостями – Профессор Гуптон (Брешь)

After you buy something from Торговец жидкостями – Профессор Гуптон's shop in Enter the Gungeon, he sets up a second store in the upper right of Брешь, selling goop-themed gun and item unlocks (added to Enter the Gungeon's loot pool) for Кредит Гегемонииs. Buying everything costs 146 Credits.

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

Торговец оружием – Трорк (Брешь)

After you buy something from Торговец оружием – Трорк's shop in Enter the Gungeon, he sets up a second store in the lower left of Брешь, selling military-themed gun and item unlocks (added to Enter the Gungeon's loot pool) for Кредит Гегемонииs. Buying everything costs 124 Credits.

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

Game Modes

Пёс турборежима – Тоник

Пёс турборежима – Тоник is a blue St. Bernard and an homage to Sonic the Hedgehog. His cell only appears after the Ружезмей has been defeated; once freed he settles in the upper right of Брешь. 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.

Колдунья благословений

Колдунья благословений can only be rescued from Enter the Gungeon after defeating the Ружезмей; she then settles in the upper right of Брешь. For 6 Кредит Гегемонииs 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 Гюнтер
• During a blessed run, bosses drop no Кредит Гегемонииs, shops sell no guns, and shortcut elevators are unavailable

Мастер

Мастер is Брешь's elevator engineer, in charge of building shortcut elevators that let you start a run on a later floor. After speaking to him in Брешь, 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 Кредит Гегемонииs) and the elevator room in Брешь 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 Находчивый Крыс, wearing a crude mask to impersonate Торговец – Белло, in that floor's elevator entrance room.

He lays out three free guns of the same Качество and lets you take some to make up for the loot you skipped: Собственно Оружелье — D качество, pick 1; Черная Пороховая Шахта — C качество, pick 1; Hollow — B качество, pick 2; Кузня — B качество, take all 3. The selection stays the same until you defeat that floor's boss.

Дуэт охотников – Фрайфл и Серый Маузер

Once rescued, Дуэт охотников – Фрайфл и Серый Маузер station themselves in the lower right of Брешь 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 Кредит Гегемонииs 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 Кредит Гегемонииs)

Радужный торговец – Боулер

Радужный торговец – Боулер's cell only appears after the Ружезмей 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 Радужный торговец – Боулер. See the Special Game Modes Guide (Turbo, Rainbow, Blessed & More) for a full mode overview.

Кубик испытаний – Дайсукэ

Кубик испытаний – Дайсукэ's cell only appears after defeating the Ружезмей once, or after using the dice shrine 3 times. Once rescued he settles in the upper right of Брешь; 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, Король-стрелок's wager challenges gain a Challenge Mode option

Lore & Information

Потерянный искатель приключений (Брешь)

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

Сэр Мануэль

Сэр Мануэль needs no rescue — he is the tutorial instructor in the Зал 0. After you avenge him by defeating Блокнер in the Черная Пороховая Шахта, he appears in the lower left of Брешь.

Блокнер (Брешь)

After Блокнер is defeated in the Черная Пороховая Шахта, his ghost appears in Брешь, and he may later reappear in Enter the Gungeon as a miniboss. Defeating him unlocks Щит Предателя and Жетон.

Гоблин на уступе

The Гоблин на уступе sits on a ledge in the lower right of Брешь 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 Взрывной шлем is unlocked.
