I think I'm getting progressively worse at the game as I play it, paradoxically. I also had a run yesterday night wherein I found a black chest on floor one... in a secret room after I'd already cleared the rest of the floor (minus the boss), had no keys left, and not enough casings to get a key from the shop.  Thought perhaps the boss would drop a key, but I didn't live long enough to find out.

I find it helpful to wait with opening chests until you've cleared out the floor already. Peronally I've gotten to the level where I can get to the Hollow consistently and to the Forge on about one third of my runs. Still working on the Bullet, though.

It's especially helpful to forego opening chests before the boss, at least for the first two floors or so, because it guarantees a gun drop from the boss. And outside of the Ammoconda, all the bosses on the first two floors are pretty much as easy as you're going to get on your journey down. So it's best to use that time to stock up on weapons early. VVVV Yeah, Ammoconda is a pain to deal with. He's constantly shooting, his bullet patterns are weird, and while he has the least amount of health than the other two second floor bosses, his egg eating gimmick makes the fight draw on for too long. discworld is all I read fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Jan 30, 2017 |

Probably just bad luck that every time I made it to a 2nd floor boss it's been ammoconda.

Okay, I'm not saying the people who said that secret walls are colored differently earlier were hoaxing, and those pictures were convincing. But: Man, I'm just not seeing it.

Man, I must be the weird guy here because I find Ammoconda to be the easiest of the second floor bosses. Since he is so long it's pretty easy to just keep an eye on your character and shoot in his general direction and you'll hit more often than not.

My first ever Master Round was on the Ammoconda despite him being the hardest boss for me currently (for the same reason that his eggs have a ton of health.) The secret to victory is a Potion of Gun Friendship and a RUB-ADYNE gun

 Just finished this run (had to get the picture before the actual end of the run because I was going to kill a past) This is the most poo poo I've ever had in a single run by a large amount. Just crazy amounts of stuff.

Was this a clone run or did you just get a crazy amount of chest drops at the end of rooms or something? Hell, you were one piece away from transforming into Cormorant which I've never managed to do in over 120 hours of play.

Clone run combined with ring of chest friendship + mimic teeth necklace. So I was spawning a chest every few rooms that I could always open since mimics are never locked. The overall quality of items was relatively garbage, I didn't get anything better than a green chest all run, but drat is that alot of stuff. E: also with no need to buy keys and a fair amount of coolness I was buying out the shops on every level just for the hell of it. EE: and man my next run starts with a floor 1 seven leaf clover. It's a beautiful day to be a gungeon. And a mimic tooth necklace on the next floor.... unlimited black/red chests if I'm willing to fight super mimics... sure I'm game. EEE: This was my very first winning (the entire gungeon) run. Turns out 100 golden bullets and a doodad to stop time makes it pretty easy. That last boss though, wow.

Don't feel bad, I've had it about 2-3 months and I just got to the fourth floor for the first time on Friday.

I never seem to have a strong weapon whenever I meet him, which makes breaking the segments in time a challenge. By comparison, the Gorgun's a piece of cake. I always end up eating a hit or two whenever I fight the Bullet King on the first floor as well.

After around 90 deaths, I made it to the Dragun for the first time, and dropped off the gunpowder to the smith. It was my second time in the forge... the first time, I found the Crown of Guns and Remote Bullets and facerolled my way there until something set me on fire. Also, sometimes the RNG trolls the hell out of you. Like my first time clearing floor 1 without losing hearts. (I ate an armour on the boss, so no Master Round that time)

By the by, you missed your water barrel in the first combat room you came into. You didn't break it, it's around a couple minutes in.

99% sure I remember the blue secret walls being removed in like, one of the first patches. I think it happened in 1.1.0 beta 3 "Fixed a lighting issue which caused secret doors to be very obvious", but I feel like it was way earlier than that? Like around the same time as "Starter guns can no longer be used to reveal secret doors" Nalesh fucked around with this message at 08:17 on Feb 1, 2017 |

Eye of Beholster carried me through most of my successful runs, not sure why you don't like it. ---- Also having fortune's favor + potion of lead skin is pretty funny -- just remember to use them (scruffy!) and you are pretty much invulnerable.

Scruffy picks up a gun: "Yeah, it's an okay gun. Not one of my favourites, but there's certainly a lot worse weapons to pick up." Ten minutes later: "I am the right hand of Death, the hour of reckoning is now. All shall fall by my guns."

Yeah I dunno, I disagree with scruffy on a lot of gun good/gun bad, and it also bugs me that he will have 6 or 7 gats and still insist on conserving ammo for all of them when you need one or two fully loaded guns at most for most bosses. But then he's also way more successful than I am on the reg so what do I know.

Glacier's actually automatic believe it or not, for a C rank and 45 casings base price it's really quite nice especially if you find it on the first floor. I don't know if you'd have gotten the Wallmonger on the ammo you had for it at the time but it deals 8 damage base + 6 for the explosion which is actually 5 more points of damage than the Void Marshal. It's 5x slower to shoot, sure, but you might not have taken that hit thanks to bullet destruction.

Oh yeah, one thing you didn't show off is stealing from the shop with the grapple hook. It ruins the main shop for the rest of the run, but if you're already near the last floor anyway, might as well snag something extra right? Alternatively there's other items you can use to steal from the shop that don't have a guaranteed chance of resulting in you getting caught and the shopkeeper removing all his wares from future floors.

Older than those, it's Demon's Souls. There were tentacle-headed guards wandering around the cells in the Tower of Latria, and you could tell if one was nearby by the clanking of the bell he carried. That's a neat reference, well-done Dev team.
