YOU DEFEATED
Grants a second chance upon death. A piece of a legendary Gungeoneer's soul. Though they may have failed in their quest, an encouraging aura emanates from the spirit.

Gun Soul is a passive item.

Effects

• Adds a heart container.
• Upon death, the player respawns at the start of the current floor with one heart container and only starting items and guns. The floor layout will remain the same, but all enemies previously killed will respawn. If the player reaches the location where they died, they will return to normal and receive all of their items and guns.
  • If the player dies again after returning to normal, this process is repeated.
  • If the player dies before returning to normal, the run ends.
  • Respawned enemies will not drop .
  • The heart containers returned to the player upon returning to the location they died will be empty.

Notes

• In co-op, if the player holding Gun Soul dies, the surviving player can revive their dead teammate at a chest as per usual. The revived player will spawn with three full heart containers, a blank, and their starting gun, and, upon reaching the location where they died, will return to normal and receive all of their items and guns.
  • This process may be repeated as many times as there are chests or undefeated bosses.

Trivia

• This item is a reference to Dark Souls.
  • This item's effect is a direct reference to the retrieval mechanic from Dark Souls, which allows players to reclaim their progress lost after dying by reaching their place of death once again without dying again.
  • Additionally, the line "YOU DEFEATED" is a reference to a mistranslation in the original Dark Souls, wherein originally after defeating a boss, the game displayed this in bold letters across the screen. It was later patched to "VICTORY ACHIEVED."
