does it always start at level1?

[Boogie]

it's kinda frustrating..

[Inky]

yes, unless you get a shortcut.

[Inky]

if you use one it is really hard tho

It's a roguelite: you die, you start from the first floor.

It's one of the staple of the roguelike genre, I think.

You can start at different floors once you complete the tasks. When you enter a new floor and see the elevator drop through the floor, fall down the hole. Talk to the guy and he'll tell you what he needs. Finish all of his tasks, then when you're in The Breach, head to the door on the right side. You'll find the dude in the room with an elevator shaft where you can pick which floor you start on.

Yes it's a shortcut, but it also means you'll jump straight to that floor with only a starter, instead of starting Floor 1 and getting the extra money and weapons.

Also, it needs to be done in order. You have to finish all of his tasks on Floor 2 before you can start on the Floor 3 shortcut, and so on.

ok! thanks for the tips!
wow that's a hard game.. xD

Its a rogue-like.
They are all hard.

In this kind of game you look for the next unlock (Npc, Item, Weapon etc) and start everytime anew.

theres an elevator guy that can repair the elevator for you so you can skip some levels, although getting the things to fix those is even more frustrating

In this game I aim to have fun and get better, I understand the need for the community to be diverse but if fun isn't your top priority or self improvement how can you possibly enjoy the gungeon? At the very least aim high for something in this game (collection/npc's etc).

you are right, without the desire for self improvement or fun there is very lttle enter the gungeon can offer but that is the point of roguelikes and to a bigger extent hard games, like enter the gungeon, dark souls etc.

''smashing your head against a wall, feeling it crack with every time you attempt to charge through it until it crumbles below your feet and you're dead'' is a common line i've heard that discribes challengeing games. if somebody doesn't get that vibe from games like EtG, then challenge based games just are not the type of game these people should be playing, they will just waste their own time.
