Popular Post Wellzis Posted January 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) First of all, I'm not a pro at this game. My 100% came with repetition, patience... and cheating the save button a little bit! So, here are 12 tips that I hope can help you guys:1) Cheat the save button. Use it, enter the elevator (or the entrance to a secret chamber), let the game go back to the title screen and quit. Copy your save file (upload, without automatic upload active, or use a pendrive). Go back and play the game. Did you die? Did you not like the items you got? Didn't kill the boss without taking damage? That damn npc didn't show up? Think you could've got more money and keys? Then quit, use your copied file, and try again... and again, and again...2) Winchester games. They are hard to ace, and you need to do it 3 times (not necessarily on the same playthrough) to get a trophy. As soon as you get an item that lets you fly, cheat the save button. Keep repeating the next chamber until Winchester shows up. 3) Stealing. You need to steal 10 items from vendors (not necessarily on the same playthrough) to get a trophy. When you get an item or weapon that gives you the ability to steal (Aged Bell, Box, Chaff Grenade, Charm Horn, Decoy, Directional Pad, Explosive Decoy, Grappling Hook, Grey Mauser, Smoke Bomb or Ring of Ethereal Form), steal the regular vendor from the chamber you're in, BUT ONLY ONCE. Reason: you're garanteed to steal the first time, but the next one will have a 50% chance to get caught, and then 25%, etc. Those chances don't reset when you change chambers. If you get caught, no more regular vendor dude for the rest of the run. "But how about the random vendors?", you ask. They're fair game! They can show up again on other chambers like you never stole them (100% first try, 50%, 25%, etc). So, next chamber after you got your stealing item you'll cheat the save button. You can either try to steal the regular vendor again (50% chance) or repeat the chamber until a random vendor shows up. If you're REALLY PATIENT, and feeling lucky, you can keep retrying a chamber until you steal the regular vendor for the second time AND a random vendor 1 or 2 times. Your call! 4) Hunting mimics. Use the elevator to the boss rush (you unlock it by unlocking the 5th chamber shortcut). The 10th boss, Door Lord, is a mimic (he can show up on a normal run, but he's rare as balls. I've never found him.) 5) Resource management. Don't get keys on the floor until you go to a shop, that way the vendor will always have a key for sale. And don't rely on the Muncher. Wait to sell weak weapons to the sewer weirdo that sometimes appears at the shop. 6) The Resourceful Rat won't steal health, keys, blanks, and hegemony credits. Anything else will be gone if you let it on the floor.7) Did you find an active item, but don't have room for it? Is the shop close enough? Is the sewer weirdo there? Great! Than keep getting those active items and walking towards the shop. You'll sell the one you don't want. 8) The 2 guaranteed chests on each chamber are always an item chest and a weapon chest. Keep that in mind. 9) Don't open brown chests, unless you're sure they'll give you an item (see tip 8). Why? Because weapons from brown chests are not worth it. They suck huge expanses of ass.10) If you won't open a chest, destroy it. You can trade junk for armor on a Ser Junkan shrine, or even get Ser Junkan himself!11) If you get Ser Junkan to accompany you on the early chambers, he'll be your priority. He's the best item in the game, in my opinion. He starts weak, but powers up with each extra junk you get. You need 7 junks to get maximum power. He'll simply win the game for you. 12) The first secret chamber is always worth visiting. More money, items, possibly keys, etc. Ignore the second secret chamber though. The Old King is the hardest boss in the game (I only killed him once, when I got the Clone item that lets you restart the game without losing items and weapons. So I powered up, got to the fifth chamber, killed myself, started from the first chamber already strong, and only got stronger. That old bastard didn't stand a chance).

KaKrackle Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I didnt realise you could use back up saves since the update. That explains why the platinum rarity has shot up allot since I played it not long after release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashthiscity Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 You are a life saver. I've been only Lead God short of the platinum for over a year. Achieved it last night using tip number one. Thank you immensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aZombieDictator Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Back up saves don't work anymore. Just tried when I was almost done with the Robot's Past and once I downloaded the save it cleared out my run. They programmed in something that can tell if you're using a backup save.

KaKrackle Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Tbh, I never played any of the DLC so I don’t know how well robot handles. One day I might re download it though. Gungeon is a fantastic game, but I always prefered the faster pace of Nuclear Throne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mori Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 So I can expect the 100% to be a challenge now? Glad I have not started the game yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it can detect if you use a backup save. And I can't find any information about it now, but I swear I read something about back ups not working. And I can guarantee you after I downloaded my uploaded save at chamber 4 it started me over at the breach instead. Someday I'll beat the damn robots past...

Eh, sounds kind of weird. I mean, first off, I can't imagine how they'd implement something like that. Second, I don't imagine they'd care enough to implement something like that. Is it by any chance possible that you accidentally uploaded to the cloud instead of downloading your save? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aZombieDictator Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Ok just I just tested it and the save backup worked and put me at floor two after downloading. This makes me really wonder what the hell I read and what the hell happened with my save file I uploaded. I know for a fact I saved at floor 3, then uploaded to be safe, then re downloaded it because I fucked up to be sent back to breach instead of floor 4. I checked time stamps and made sure of what I was doing. I gotta really find out what I read. Make sure if this is a thing or not or just a fluke that somehow messed up my save.

bruin-rocks Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 The new Advanced Gungeons and Draguns update has made this game more accessible for everyone to play, with the addition of synergies you can get some insane bonuses that make this game a walk in the park. You shouldn't need back up saves at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You messed something up somewhere. Backups always worked for me 100% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbaltipie Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Right, quick question slightly on topic. In the Breach in the room at the top right of the stairs where you can select the challenge modifyers for the run, i can see that there are spaces for 5 NPCs, each one giving you a cup/trophy when you complete their challenge. I have a gap in the bottom left hand side - what goes there? I am working my way to 100% the ammonomicon - i must be missing something obvious? the only trophy i am missing is the advanced boss one, i'm working my way onto that at the moment Appreacate it!

I don't know what your method is but I back up my data using Playstation Plus and then download it into my system if I fail to reach a achievement but so far this method has worked every time on any game I've attempted this with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBSTINATIO Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Something everyone who is thinking about starting this game should also know is that the grind for the Frifle's Challenges trophy is extrem. It took me around 25-30 hours to complete everything else, I'm quite experienced with this type of game and I had barley any difficulties, I even unlocked some of the really difficult stuff not required for the platinum. But completing most of the game rather quick is the main reason why I'm stuck now with the Frifle Challenges. Although I tried to complete the challenges along the way, I'm nowhere near finishing all the tasks. I'm really bored since there is nothing left to do, like higher difficulties or anything, and grinding specific stages over and over again is what stops me from finishing this game... I'm talking about 10+ hours just for this gd trophy. Edited November 12, 2020 by OBSTINATIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbaltipie Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I got the plat some Time ago and I got really unlucky with the map guy not spawning on the 5th level for hours. Good thing is the game is so much fun I didn’t really mind but you do need RNG on your side at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefourfoldroot Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Hate games that tempt you be allowing save scumming. The choice is to spend time you don’t need to or do something incredibly tedious. Hope it gets patched out before I get tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlod-wigg Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Throwing this in: when you fight a character's past, you lose everything from your run except the blanks if you have more than 2 left. So if you defeat high dragun and still have 5 blanks left, you will play in the past with 5 blanks. Massive help for the boss fight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
