Cannon
Ammonomicon Entry
Evil King
Many years ago a charismatic sorcerer came to the Gungeon, promising prosperity and ammunition to all who accepted his master: the mysterious demon, Cannon. Cannon held a deep and burning desire to usurp the power of the Gungeon for himself, to rule it with a sweaty iron hoof. While Cannon reigned the Past was never killed and no Chamber could be reloaded. Though the demon lord was thwarted, Agunim was imprisoned in a cell deep beneath the Gungeon. Some say he still remains, gathering resources to summon the dark lord Cannon once more.

Cannon is the second of the two bosses of The Bullet's past.

Behaviour

Cannon has a few attacks:

• Fires bullets that orbit around him. After a while, the bullets will expand outwards, then retract back in towards him. Afterwards, the bullets turn into bats that fly towards The Bullet.
• Fires two bat bullets that fly in straight lines and leave trails of bullets.
• Fires a bat bullet that orbits around him while slowly flying outwards and leaves a trail of bullets.

The arena has six pits which will open over the course of the fight. Falling into a pit damages The Bullet.

Tips

• Attack Cannon right after it charges to a different place in the room, and then get as far away from it as possible. HAVE PATIENCE. THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE, BUT IT IS MUCH SAFER THEN DOING THE BELOW TIP.
• While Cannon is making the circle of bullets around itself and they have expanded outwards, you can dodge roll into the circle to hit Cannon 1-3 times, and then dodge roll away when the circle is contracting again, and get as far away from Cannon as possible.

Trivia

• Cannon is a reference to Ganon from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. In fact, almost all his attacks are identical to Ganon's.
