This blessed bullet speaks with the voice of Kaliber herself.
His aim is infallible, at least when firing from the pulpit. |
The Bullet Bishop is an unused boss in Enter the Gungeon. They appear to be a large version of the Cardinal possessing a scepter and censer.
Behaviour
- Drifts slowly towards the player, periodically releasing a sparse ring of bullets.
- This is the default boss behaviour, as demonstrated by the Boss Template, and as such means that the Bullet Bishop's attacks were never started, let alone finished.
Notes
- The Bullet Bishop may have been intended to be a boss for the Abbey of the True Gun.
- Upon death, the Bullet Bishop does not correctly become a corpse, instead simply becoming enraged and shaking back and forth. This may be a remnant of a more complicated death sequence that was never finished.
- The dead Bishop no longer deals contact damage, but does not have it's hitbox disabled either, meaning the player cannot walk through it, rendering it an impassable barrier.
- If the dead Bishop has not yet triggered it's boss introduction, entering a room with the dead Bishop will still cause the boss splash screen to appear.
- The Bullet Bishop is one of the few unused enemies with an Ammonomicon entry.
- The Bullet Bishop's boss intro card uses the bosscard of the HM Absolution as a placeholder.
- The Bishop does not have animations for walking. In fact, sprites of him walking are not even present in the files. This suggests that the Bishop was intended to be a stationary boss, and that it's behaviour of drifting towards the player is merely a consequence of being built off the Template Boss.
- The Bishop does however have an unused animation for teleporting in a cloud of incense. While the Bishop likely was not intended to walk, teleporting may have been his main method of navigating his boss room.
- The Bishop also has an unused animation called 'summon'. It is unknown what he would have summoned.
- He most likely would have summoned cardinals as he is accompanied by 2 of them as seen on the steam page
Trivia
- The Bullet Bishop's healthbar reads "Your own slow reflexes" which is the default text when a boss entity has no proper name set.
- The Bullet Bishop makes an appearance in Exit the Gungeon as a possible piece of background decoration in the Hollow Elevators. This is his first canon appearance.
- The Bullet Bishop's sprites are named 'Bullet Pope' instead.
