Tailor

Tailor the Tinker is an NPC who appears in Enter the Gungeon and Exit the Gungeon. He is only referred to as The Tinker in Enter the Gungeon, with the name Tailor being made canon in Exit the Gungeon.

Function

Enter the Gungeon ^ETG

Tailor can be met in the elevator entrance room of the Gungeon Proper after a boss in the Keep of the Lead Lord has been killed without taking damage for the first time, Gungeon Proper has been previously entered at least 5 times, and Ox and Cadence have been rescued from a cell. Speaking to him here will cause him to offer to team up with the player in order to fix the various bullet elevators throughout the Gungeon in order to create shortcuts. Accepting these dialogue choices will cause Tailor to appear in the lower right side of the Breach the next time the player returns.

Once spoken to in the Breach, Tailor will appear in the Elevator Maintenance Room of the Gungeon Proper, and will request certain resources from the player in order to repair the elevator mechanism. Providing these resources to Tailor will unlock the Gungeon Proper shortcut, as well as an additional item once Tailor is spoken to in the Breach again.
Once spoken to in the Breach, Tailor will then appear in the Black Powder Mine Elevator Maintenance Room, and repeat the previous process, but requesting more resources. This will repeat for both the Hollow and Forge Elevators, until all four shortcuts have been unlocked.

If an elevator has been repaired, Tailor will appear in the newly unboarded Elevator Room of the Breach.
