Notes[ | ]

  • There is always a room containing a Fireplace in the Keep of the Lead Lord, which can be extinguished with any non-oil Goop and then interacted with to reveal the room containing the hatch to the Oubliette.
    • One (or two) water barrels can almost always be found randomly in a separate room on the same floor.
      • This water barrel can rarely spawn inside of the Oubliette entrance room, which can make the sewers inaccessible.
    • After extinguishing the fireplace and activating it, the chance for a water barrel to spawn within the same room as the Fireplace increases dramatically for the save file.
      • The spawn chance for this water barrel appears to be independent from water barrel spawns outside of the fireplace room.
    • The hatch to the Oubliette will always be locked and require two Keys to open. These locks work identically to wall locks.
    • The fireplace room will usually be located on a dead end.
  • If the player character's past has been killed, they can interact with the Hero Shrine at the starting room to increase their curse to 9.
  • Chests on this floor have a small chance to spawn Glitched Chests, which teleports the Gungeoneer to a glitched version of the next floor upon being opened.
  • Although normally seen in the Abbey & Hollow, a single cardinal may be seen in the first floor, within a small cemetery filled with gravestones. He is the only enemy in that room.
  • The Keep of the Lead Lord is the only one of the five main floors to not contain an Elevator room, due to not having any shortcuts.

Trivia[ | ]

  • During the Alpha, the Keep of the Lead Lord acted as the game's tutorial, with signs telling the player what to do as opposed to the Hall of Knowledge with Ser Manuel.
    • In addition, the music that used to play in this chamber were the tracks now used in the Abbey of the True Gun. A version of the Abbey's song occasionally replaces the Keep's music for the entire level.
  • Keep of the Lead Lord is the only chamber that doesn't have a teleporter in the start room.
  • In Exit the Gungeon, there is a painting depicting the Bullet plunging Blasphemy into Ganon's head.

Bugs[ | ]

  • A particular room that appears in the Keep of the Lead Lord where two Chain Gunners spawn will sometimes consider the room cleared if the first Gunner is defeated before the second starts appearing, opening its doors and allowing the player to warp. The player can leave the room at any time, even with the second enemy still alive.
    • If the player returns to the room while the enemy is still alive, the doors close again until it is defeated.
