| 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
- The safest time to attack Cannon is right after he charges to a different part of the room, as there is a short delay before he starts attacking.
- While Cannon is making the circle of bullets around himself 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 to avoid the bats.
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.
