The Breach

The Breach is the starting point of any adventurer's travel down The Gungeon.

It serves as the main hub of the game, where the player can select player characters, buy items, and interact with various NPCs.

Hall of Knowledge
The Hall of Knowledge is the tutorial area of the game. Ser Manuel guides the player through the basic controls and mechanics of the game. The entrance to the Hall of Knowledge is located in the bottom left sector of The Breach. Above its doorway, there is an image of an opened book and illuminated light bulb.

Elevator Room
The elevator room allows the player to enter the Gungeon from a previously unlocked shortcut. The number inside of the elevator indicates which chamber the player will start on. The entrance to the Elevator Room is located in the bottom right sector of The Breach. Above its doorway there is an image of a gun's chamber.

NPCs
Over the course of the game, various characters can be saved from the Gungeon Proper. Many of them will move up to The Breach and offer various services.

Drunkard


The Drunkard sits next to the entry for the Hall of Knowledge. Once in a while, after players finish a run, he will tell them stories about the bosses players defeated or about the NPCs of The Breach.

Ox and Cadence


Ox & Cadence will set up and run a shop in The Breach that allows players to spend Hegemony Credits to unlock new items and guns that will spawn in the Gungeon below. They are located left next to the entrance of the Gungeon.

Professor Goopton


Professor Goopton runs a shop in The Breach that allows players to spend Hegemony Credits to unlock new liquid-themed items and guns.

Trorc

Doug


Doug occasionally shows up in The Breach and runs a shop that allows players to spend Hegemony Credits to unlock new items and guns.

Tinker


The Tinker can first be met after a flawless victory against one of the bosses of the Keep of the Lead Lord. He'll settle in the lower right of the Breach and once a shortcut has been unlocked, he'll move inside the elevator room. Whenever he's spoken to after a new shortcut has been finished, he'll reward adventurers with a new unlock.

See Shortcuts for more information.

Sorceress


For 6, the Sorceress will bless the player's next run.

The Lost Adventurer

Winchester


Winchester stands in a corner and comments on the player's persistence. Winning his trickshot challenges will increase his sympathy for the gungeoneers.

Ledge Goblin


The Ledge Goblin sits on a ledge next to her helmet. If the player interacts with the helmet, it will fall off the edge and the Ledge Goblin will re-enter the Gungeon to retrieve it. After kicking the helmet and saving the Ledge Goblin three times, the player will be rewarded with a new unlock, the Blast Helmet.
