How to unlock every secret character.

Are you tired of only playing one of the four standard characters in EtG? In this guide I will show you how to unlock every of the four secret characters.

General Information

In this guide I will show you how to unlock each of the four secret characters and give you some informations about their abbilities.

The Bullet

Features:
The bullet is my favourite character in etg. I mean, it's a bullet kin. That's just hilarious. Its main weapon called "blasphemy" is a sword, which destroys all nearby bullets in front of you and fires a rainbowy bullet while being on full health. In addition the Bullet comes with the passive item "live ammo" which provides immunity to contact damage and increases your dodge roll damage.

How to unlock:
To unlock the Bullet you must beat the past of at least one of the standard characters. After that, bullet kins which won't attack you can spawn randomly in any room (but they're more likely to appear on lower floors). Just ignore them and they will disappear after a few seconds. After doing this five times (doesn't need to be done in one run), the Bullet will automaticly be unlocked.

The Robot

Features:
The robot comes with a pretty decent starter weapon, the passive item "battery bullets" which makes your bullets electric and the active item "water bottle" which splashes water on the ground. If you shoot over the water then, the electric bullets will make it electrify, and enemies stepping on it will be hurt. However, what makes the Robot really unique is, that he only has armor, no health. This means that you can't use heartcontainers and you'll just get one piece of armor when collecting a chamber.

How to unlock:
When jumping into the elevator pit of the first floor you'll get to a special room. There you find the active item "busted television" (Please notice: The item can only be found after the mechanic left, therefore the second elevator must already be repaired). Just bring it to the blacksmith and the robot will be unlocked. However, it's not that easy, because every time you dodge roll the busted television will get unequipped.

The Paradox

Features:
The paradox is a pretty unique character. Instead of having a special starting gun or an item he starts with one random gun, one starter weapon and one random passive or active item so you never know what to expect. Of course you could use a mod for this instead but with the paradox you have a sort of randomized round without the need of downloading mtg.

How to unlock:
To unlock the paradox you have to go on one of these spirally, universe looking things in the ground that appear once you have beaten at least one past. I don't know how to describe them but they look the same as the ones you can find on the ground next to the blacksmith (pls note that it is not possible to use the ones next to the blacksmith, however). Just interact with one of them and you will turn into this color as well. Then finish the run like you would normally do (However, it is necessary to beat the lich or the past!) an vouila! Paradox is unlocked.

The Gunslinger

Features:
In my opinion the Gunslinger is by far the strongest secret character because of his "OP" passive item. With the so called "Lich's Eye Bullets" you get every synergy available for a specific wapon. His main weapon isn't to bad as well, after shooting all bullets the gunslinger will throw his gun on the enemy, dealing some extra damgage.

How to unlock:
To unlock the Gunslinger you have to beat the Lich with the paradox. This will automaticly trigger a new run as the Gunslinger. Then you have to get to the Gunslingers past, which will teleport you to the bullet hell. But instead of fighting against the normal Lich you'll have to beat two of them at the same time. Luckily you must only beat their first phase.


And that's it. I hope I could help you with this guide ;)

Thanks, did some research online, seems like i need to do multiple run and collect the items to craft that bullet. i already reached the end where you get "that gun" and the game just ends.

[admiral.]

I don't want to spoil to much, but basically the past is a secret boss at the end of a standard run that can be done after fighting the high dragun, but only once you crafted the gun that can kill the past. It's different for every playable character and basically depicts each characters lore (=> their past). In a way the whole goal of an enter the gungeon run is to kill the past, so I assume you could say that it is the true final boss, even though there is still more content afterwards.
If you aren't that far into the game yet however, there is really no need to think about all that stuff yet

[Solstar]

wtf you mean by "beating THE PAST"? is it a level? a condition? a stage?

I have never actually tried this before but you could be right. I feel like the rainbow runs are generally easier than normal runs as you often get access to very powerful equipment due to the many choices you have. Combined with the synergies you get through the gunslinger and if you have a bit of a feeling for which weapons offer good ones i can very well see how this would make things easier

[Daddy_Hawaii]

I will say that unlocking the Gunslinger is one of the most challenging things I have done in this game aside from doing challenge run (I have accomplished both, I am very close to 100% on the achievements). It's really a matter of luck & endurance. And I dunno if this is a general thing, but I found getting the Gunslinger to be way easier by doing a Rainbow run. Not sure if that is just a preference thing or not though

[Osakanator]

Thats a great idea! I think ill do that, thank you!

[admiral.]

feels bad but yeah... Happened to me a few times as well. If you struggle getting there in the first place defeating a boss whose attack patterns you have never experienced before is near impossible. Maybe try looking up the patterns beforehand and already make up a strategy. Obviously that will include spoilers for bosses you haven't seen yet so I don't know if that's soemthing for you...
Anyways, with enough practice you will do it eventually

finally made it to my first past... died immediately...
