Bullet Hell is the secret 6th chamber of The Gungeon. Like all Secret Chambers, it only appears in Enter the Gungeon. It is an infernal cavern, somewhere deep beneath the Gungeon, or perhaps in another plane entirely. It is full of fiery candles, chains and shackles hanging from the walls, and burning skeletons affixted to the walls providing meager light.

Pits in this chamber contain a writhing purple substance, out of which phantom visages of tortured bullet kin can be seen rising and dissipating.

After killing the pasts of all four main Gungeoneers, an entrance to Bullet Hell will open in the Aimless Void area of the Forge. On the first visit after the entry requirements are met, entering Bullet Hell is involuntary, as the colossal skeleton hand of the Lich will drag the player down to Hell no matter what they do. On repeat visits to the Aimless Void after this, a large shimmering rift will be open, and the player will be able to choose to enter it, or walk around.

Using the Gun That Can Kill The Past on The Gunslinger while holding the Bullet That Can Kill The Past does not take the player to the past, but rather to a version of Bullet Hell. This version of Bullet Hell is mostly identical, however the Lich bossfight is altered into the Glitched Lich.

Layout

Bullet Hell is the largest chamber in Enter the Gungeon, consisting almost entirely of combat rooms. There is no Shop, and no other NPCs or Shrines can generate as part of random level generation. There are no chest rooms, although chests can still drop from room clear.

The Secret Room of this chamber is exceedingly difficult to find due to the floors excessive size, and always has the same layout, containing a single Evil Muncher.

Bullet Hell is unique in that, while being randomly generated, it only has a single dungeon flow which governs its general layout. This means that the way rooms are attatched together, and strings of rooms loop around are the same each time.

• The starting room has three paths. Two of the paths will merge and lead to the second junction, while one of the paths will consist of a single dead end room.
• The second junction has three more paths. Two of the paths will form a loop, while one of the paths will lead to the third junction.
• The third junction has three more paths. Two of the paths will reach dead ends, while one of the paths will lead to the Lich.

Enemies

In some room layouts in Bullet Hell some enemies are guaranteed to always spawn jammed, regardless of the players current curse level. The only other chamber that does this is the Abbey of the True Gun.

Notes

• The name Bullet Hell is a reference to the Bullet Hell video game subgenre, characterised by enemy attacks consisting of a large number of projectiles the player must avoid. Enter the Gungeon can be considered a Bullet Hell game.
• The shadowy purple Bullet Kin apparitions that can be seen periodically rising out of pits in Bullet Hell are referred to as Wailing Bullet Kin in the assets of Enter the Gungeon.
