Changes: Patches and Mendy

Revision as of 16:52, 7 September 2018

Patches and Mendy are NPCs that can be encountered in a unique room in the Gungeon. They will completely heal the player unless you are playing as The Robot, in which case they will give you either one Junk, the Bottle, or one piece of Armor.

Notes

In order to be healed, the player must speak to the nurse on the right and answer yes to her offer.
Patches and Mendy heal the player character by simply smashing a glass bottle containing a fairy over their head.
They will only perform their function once per encounter; a player cannot be healed once and later return to the same room and be healed again.
The room containing Patches and Mendy is indicated on the map by a red cross within a green square. If the room is not yet discovered, this symbol will be visible at the end of the hallway leading to the room.

Quotes

When at full health

[Patches] "Yes, yes, you seem to be fine. Hm, unfortunate."
[Mendy] "You're perfectly healthy? Are you sure?"

Trivia

The method of healing employed by the nurses is a reference to Legend of Zelda series, in which the player can heal themselves using bottled fairies.
Patches appears to be wearing a clown nose, which may be a reference to the titular character in the movie Patch Adams.
