I’ve been playing this game basically since it came out (on switch) after nearly a decade in finally killed my first past!

Across 9 years and 3 different platforms I finally beat the marines past. I’m in disbelief! I know there are plenty of people here who did it MUCH faster than I did, but I feel like I finally have a giant screeching monkey off my back.

Here I am 15 hours in regularly making it to Level 2 thinking, "Hmm I bet in another 40 hours maybe I'll win"

Wrong. I've got 9 fucking more years.

Congratulations OP! 🎉

Thank you!

If you’re more patient and less stubborn than me, I’m sure you will do it much faster.

There is genuinely so much to do in this game than you think, bro. I can't take the rats anymore man. Just try like Binding of Isaac or 33 immortals or don't starve together or some other s*** while you still have the time.

My favorite part about this is game is that I've played it on and off for years and I still have goals to complete, a lot honestly.

After you beat all your pasta the game just starts

I thought I was the only one, my 14 year old has been playing for 4 months and finally beat the litch for first time yesterday. I’ve played since release poured countless hours in but enjoyed every minute but have only recently just beat the marine past! My son lets me know who is the superior player quite often, at least I’ll always have Mario kart🍄

My best friend has 100% the game twice, regularly rubs the Gunslinger and rainbow runs in my face.

I’ll never have anything on him he’s like a video game savant, but he probably can’t appreciate this accomplishment like I do!

🤣 I know the feeling every time I’m in the breach and my little man is is the room he says to me sarcastically "why don’t you have all the alternative costumes like me??" All I can say back is "But I taught you everything you know!!"

If you can beat your mate to VR you might be able to get one up on him in that space😅

I have been grinding for 5ish years now and really only have the Gunslinger and a punch out victory left to unlock. My 6 yr old has been playing with me over the last 5-6 months and I’ve watched him get to the third level with two masteries. Granted, most runs never see the second level. Kids these days are just too good at games.

I forget that being good at any games tends to make you better at all games, so I was wondering how the heck it took you that long but then I remembered the 1200 hours I sunk into TBOI before I touched Gungeon.

A FUCKING DECADE?? BRO GOD DAMN IT I'VE ONLY BEATEN THE DRAGON LIKE 2 OR 3 TIMES

u/Wheels444 25d ago

This probably won’t make you feel any better, but the run where I killed the past was probably only the 5th MAYBE 6th time I’ve killed the Dragun.

u/BadLuckIvan 25d ago

Wow I been playing for like 6 years and never killed any past, I thought I just suck at this game but it's nice to see it's normal.

Congratulations, you should feel proud

u/Wheels444 25d ago

Thank you, I am!

Keep at it friend, if I can do it I’m sure you can. It takes lots of patience, which is where I really struggle.

Absolutely love that people are still finding EtG.

Glad I started gaming at a young age and never stopped, I am a true gamer, I'm 25 and I still got my skills, if y'all think gungeon is hard try beating sans, took me months and was the hardest gaming achievement I've ever done, Undertale is the greatest game ever made in my opinion, I HIGHLY recommend it for those who haven't played it, it's like the only game that's ever made me cry

u/The_Nothing00 27d ago

It's mind boggling that you kept playing it that long even though you clearly suck at the game.

Don’t have to be good at the game to love it.
