The Priest's Past, & Breaking Down the Wall | Enter the Gungeon Lore

- In this video I go over the lore I could find about the High Priest boss, found in the Hollow, and his potential past. I also break down the Wallmonger into all the enemies found within, discussing some of the things often missed.
This video wouldn't be possible without Thomas the Bullet, who graciously offered to edit for me while my computer's away.
He makes his own silly stuff, so if you'd like to support him you can find his channel here: / @thomasthebullet
At the very least, I reccomend you check out his latest episode of Nutcase. In my opinion, it's the best thing he's ever made: • Nutcase3.mp3 (100 Sub ...
Last but not least, if you'd like to come along and call me weird names, here's a link to my Discord server:

Timestamp to skip to the Wallmonger section: 7:30
the thing you didn't know about was number muncher.
I could skip but why would I?
10:19 I think that the character on the left is a gunjurer
12:50 that thing looks pretty much identical to a Number Muncher from 1990's Number Munchers
I'm still disappointed that they never called the High Priest a WarGlock
If he appears in future games that’s probably a pretty cool name.
Ive got an idea!!! New enemy: WarGlock. it would be a small High Priest. It has a staff that shoots bouncing orbs or summons a circle of bullets that block.... bullets.
Or a Colt-ist
@@couragew6260 crap, I wanted to do the joke
Or a de-gun

Wait that's illegal.

Exit the Gungeon: Am I a joke to you?
Yeah I was also very confused
@@Mattwreys yes you are
Lot of lore for a game where I CAN FIRE A MAILBOX
Don’t make me fire a bullet that shoots guns that fires bullets at you.
Warrren Huang oh don’t make me shoot my *LETTER R*

Screw the High Priest redemption fanfic, I want a story about *FLOOB*.
Floob x Reader
@@Witchita222 Hey! No!
They face that he called floob is from a frogger port
spluer it’s also the guy from number munchers, where you munch numbers to learn math. Figures that A-crash the market with shovel ware-tari would recycle sprites.
With the High Priest it seems to me that it's soul might be stored in it's amulet
This was a nice video but I was getting triggered by the amount of times u got hit
I suck at this game, i'm amazed I ever beat the game to begin with, I highly apologize!
@@ThomasTheBullet Aww, I don't think anyone can stay mad at you. Also my man, can I get the link to that there GMod video, some of those sweps look swell.
@@basketodone No video sad to say, I recorded that just for the last part, but the mod I used was CS:O2 weapons! There was a Japanese version of cs:go, there some pretty wacky weapons and there stupidly fun to use
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=938487773
There 2 more, but should be ez to find from there
Thomas The Bullet I’m sorry did you just say you’re bad at the game you beat a fourth floor boss as The Mistake
12:47 that looks like a number muncher from number munchers
I looked it up, and it looks like you're right. I never would have gotten that reference.
It was a joy editing for ya bro ~
Thomas The Bullet You’re a pretty good editor tbh
@@bundleoffuck2986 Thank you!!! I owe it all too google searches and to much free time!
Oh in that case sorry. You’ll get there one day
@Random Dude Keep it cool brotha!
"now that i have written a 1000 word essay on the high preist-"
let me make this quote better
"now that i have written a 1000 word essay on the *thigh* priest"
Ooh, Ooh, I know what that strange critter is. The one you refer to as "Floob" is actually a reference to this old game called "Number Munchers" that was meant to teach kids math. That sprite looks exactly like the aforementioned Number Muncher that the player controls.
2:07 that really hurts to see
In exit the gungeon there is a boss named Low priest, and he is high priest in the past. The low priest was an old apprentice of Cannon until the Kaliber taken the control of Low priest, making he to become just a gun and ghost. Then with the power of kaliber he summoned a army of confirmeds to become the high priest, he taken over the old followers of old king, they together served the old king. But the bullet king come to gungeon and become to the rival of high priest.
Edit: This goes to lore of bullet king😅
Wow! That is a lot of surprising lore I never knew! Thx for it.
Thx
The high priest could have been a great killithid in his previous life, because it can be infered from the description of the mine flayer that he is not the only great killithid. Also he has blue tentacle like arms similar to the mine flayer.
WHEN YOU'RE ON FIRE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KEEP DODGE ROLLING MAN hhhhhhhhhhh
10:30 the left one looks like the gunsinger.
i am disappointed that you didn't say that after he was defeated the high priest lost his memory and suddenly gained GODLY THIGHS and became the thigh priest
12:46 looks like the playable critter "Muncher" from an old pc game called Word munchers/ Number munchers
I'm positive that's what it is. The sprites are too similar to be a coincidence.
for the second to last thing, perhaps it was a reference to Number Muncher? that's my best guess, at least
My opinion on the high priest bit, is that the gunslingers ashes, contains a ghost of the gunslinger who still has his guns, and can still shoot. The high priest, has blue limbs, just like the ghost of the gunslinger and ser Emanuel, meaning he is most likely a ghost. This also ties into why he dissolves when he dies. But, the gunslingers ashes description saying the high priest “still remembers” makes me feel like someone tested this art of preserving a soul on him, but it didn’t work, preserving his body with the head of a gun.
Then on the topic of blue baby having the blue skin like the priest, blue baby is a form of Isaac who suffocated inside of his treasure chest. He turned blue because of the lack of oxygen. I don’t have a reason for the lich having blue skin, but the difference between the high priest and him are pretty big. The priest has a more blue skin while the lich has a greenish-teal color. As mentioned previously, the blue color from the priest matches more closely to the gunslingers ashes’ bullets and the dead version of blockner and ser Emanuel.

to confirm, this was written by me on my alternate account.

12:50 it's a crab!
Alternate title: a genius talks about gungeon lore while getting his face kicked in by bosses
Another banger from NN. keep it up
honestly I just assumed that the material form of the high priest was just agunum's cloak, they look incredibly similar, that it was possessed by a spirit who worked for kaliber, with this ability being given by the pendant.
Mr. Nevernamed, tear down this wall.
the wallmonger could have been related to a wall mimic but alright
I know I'm super late but can I get an explanation for that? Unless I'm misremembering correctly wall mimics are part of a species of mimics. While the Wallmonger is magical defense the gundead created as a defense mechanism.
@@Apotheosister correct mimics are an entire species while wallmonger is made from the corpses put together by powerful gunjuners
The Wallmonger being known as the Demon Wall in the sprite names is possibly a reference to Final Fantasy, where in IV and VII a boss with a similar gimmick of being timed and instakilling you by crushing if you take too long shows up.
Ypu are going real deep in those vids although it is admirable its also a little scary XD. I just admire the sprite work lol.
got this recommended to me and I got reminded of the thigh priest stream
Jumpscared me at the end with country roads....
9:44 the wheels on the shopping cart be like
Rainy day....when this video came out it started raining....coincidence i think yes
I love watching you struggle with the bosses
I'm glad someone got enjoyment out of it :p
I love this lad

The Hight Priest may be a killthid
- he's BLUE
- the killthids are capable of teleporting
When he dies it may be this
Sorry for the english
I'm french 😅
The first dark blob within the Wallmonger seems like a shadowed Gunsinger (or whichever ones cause the buffs or debuffs) that went nuts.
"tentacle-looking"
High Priest is my new waifu
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Hey man! How about the evolution of bullet kin? I bet there’s some lore behind that! Seeing as there’s Such thing as arrowheads and that they have an ammonomicon entry and all
The “gun intact” part of the gunslingers ashes description is because it shoots out ghosts that have their own guns, and ghosts usually don’t have those
Please do a videos on each floor, their roles in the gungeon, and how they might operate when they are not being raided by gungeoneers
Epic video
So what I gathered from the Wallmonger's design: A Terraria Reference. 8:29 The whole "made out of corpses" and how the teeth is a reference to Terraria's "Wall of Flesh". this is further established when the Wallmonger is referred to as "The Demon Wall." Not only is the Wall of Flesh from the underworld, but also it keeps the spirits of light and dark at bay, and the Wall of Flesh is summon with a Guide Voodoo Doll, dropped from Voodoo Demons.
If the Avatar of Kaliber is hostile to us, then why does Kaliber bless us in Exit the Gungeon?
Also, the blue on his arms closely matches the souls that come from the Gunslingers ashes, or Sir Manuel. This could mean that his arms are his soul.
The skeletons look like the first skeleton animated with special affects. The claymation skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts made by Ray Harryhausen
We need a whole vid about *floob* and his backstory
One of those "smears of darkness" looks like the gunmancer (the one that boosts bulletkins) when no bulletkins are left
the fricking lous music at th eend jumpscared me
12:46 this is probably a reference to a old educational game called math muncher, "floob" being the particular math muncher
The wallmonger feels like a reference to a monster in d&d called wall of flesh. I think. If it's from something else that d&d incorporated I'm not aware of it. A wall of flesh is an undead monster that is stationary but absorbs any creature it can absorb. After absorption, the creature will appear on the wall. The creatures will recognize old friends and family but because they are now part of the wall, their goal is to lure new victims into the wall.
With wallmonger, there are both bullets and humans in there. I could be wrong, but this is what I think the wallmonger is.
Maybe the boss cards that show up before right the fight starts a how the gungeoneer sees it at first glance
don't you mean, THIGH PRIEST?!
My headcanon is that after the cultist mastered the gungeon, killed their past, and existentially questioned whether they were a villain, they turn to the cult of the true gun and eventually use the gungeon’s time travel shenanigans to become the high priest themself, sorta like gunslinger killing the lich but the other way around
@Nevernamed i feel i should mention this due to the looks of no one else mentioning it. when the ashes says "preserved with gun in tact" its going off of the "soul" of the gunslinger who's ashes is in there and his ability to shoot with his guns. its talking about the shot itself not the gun. (sidenote) ashes are a form of preservation still. not preserving the body per-say but preserving the individual.
12:47 don't know the name but I call him *Clip*
He looks like a paperclip and could be a reference to ammo clips.
Thus the very creative name *Clip*
Alternatively *Clip.P.*
Sounds more like a little bud than an enemy though
Random clip looked like he was running half life 2 through G-mod
Fun as hecc
Nice mistake gameplay, best gungeongeer.
The lore implications of there being human skeletons in the Wallmonger are pretty crazy. Who were the humans? Were there more than the ones who were put in the Wallmonger? If the remains put into the Wallmonger were remains of Gundead who were killed when the first Gungeoneer surmounted the Hollow, does this mean that the humans were fighting with the Gundead? Why?
why is the shelleton a human skeleton? Genuinely don't know, but maybe these are related?
At 10:27 the shadow on the left looks like the poison blobulon after getting a hit.
That weird thing you called floob is actually the character from an old educational game called Number Munchers, it's likely just an easter egg
4:56 blue baby references to isaac suffocating, and also is a referance to Edmunds old flash series of games, check his newgrounds account
Hold on, that country roads bit could be a bit more bass boosted.
people who touch kaliber gets their head become a gun. the high priests persevered himself guys.
Nevernamed : has thin blue arms
Me : 🤔what about his thickkk legs👢

K ur opinion
So one thing I wanted to bring up about the high priest, he has long blue skin like the mine flayer and disappears after being defeated like the mine flayer, maybe he’s a member of that species?
At 10:53 did u think about the coaler but with arms? Cause in the game he is simular in shape but not with arms and in another video u where saying how the bullet kin can mutate to get abnormal apendeges (sorry my english is bad) so would that mean that the coaler just mutated?
12:47 from an old edutainment game called math munchers
Low Priest: hello there
tear down the wall, tear down the wall, TEAR DOWN THE WALL, TEAR DOWN THE WALL, TE- oh wait, this isn't pink floyd.
I think the High Priest's body is actually a spirit, projecting from his gun. Similar to how the Gunslinger's ashes shoot out his soul. That would explain why he's blue.
0:38 *EPIK TEE POZE!!!1!!1!11!!*
Out of all curiosity, are you still doing a video on the cut bus/enemy bunker?
The wall monger is a reference to a D&D monster called a living wall.
i saw the little black things with yellow teeth and my mind immediately went to super meat boy and that one hard boss in ...hell? i think? i never played meat boy
please someone tell me im not alone in this
11:00
looks like the blobulord after u kill him
12:48 Kinda reminds me of a number muncher. Idk if that is the case and it's just one of many jokes or references they threw in.
12:50 I think those are supposed to be ETG’s version of vagrants from Dark Souls.
That second to last one looks like an @, which was the character used for the player character in rogue's text-based version.
edit: i've also seen people say number muncher from number muncher and that's a good guess too but i think rogue is more likely since there's a whole genre about it
I wanna see a video on the drunkard in the breach
4:40 The "First of the Order" could simply mean he is the foremost among members of the order, in other words the head of the order/highest rankedd member.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
Dude you’re literally matpat but for etg
Hey guys! Welcome to the fifth edition of my FINAL ETG THEORY!
Vaati would be a more appropriate comparison.
Nice.
*E A S T V I R G I N I A*
Well we now know who he was before he became a puppet of kaliber
"She touched the High Priest" Well well well how the turntables.
That outro tho
Do a video on the blobulonian army you have talked about them but I have no idea what your talking about
Thigh Priest lore vid?
Sir Bar Why would you want my life’s story?
2:08 that hurts
What gungeoneers do you use besides the cultist, I’ve never seen the other ones you use
The skulls make no sense because it was the first gungeoneer to conquer the hollow. Yet, it says that it was made from corpses. Very odd...
Wait, the arms of the priest are the same as the Mine Flayer...
11:34 hold up I just realized that the guy he’s playing as looks like puro
it is truly a shame that i am the few ones to have experienced the leaked audio file of NN poorly singing cotton eyed joe
PRAISE BE TO FLOOB
i think the skulls in the wallmonger are the victims of him crushing them against the wall
can someone pls tell me what gun hes using when he is playing as marine in the r&g department? the one with innifinite ammo
I guess you could say he’s been around the glock
FLOOB is actually the Number Muncher, from Number Muncher.
12:48 That thing kinda reminds me of a frog.
