Blood Dungeon Hypnomancer

Hypnomancer is the only bunkmate with a published fight door. Temple of Geek and Steam agree: beat the second boss in the Boiler and the kit opens. That fight is also the Steam achievement named Hypnomancer. One clear can be two rewards if the bunkmate is not in your bunkhouse yet. Default weapon is gas — lingering area denial. PC Gamer described the presentation as gas from the rear. The mechanic that matters is the cloud, not the joke.

The game launched 25 August 2026 as single-player only. Nine bunkmates. Hypnomancer is one of the seven kits named in full. Powder Keg and Revivalist remain unpublished on weapons. Roster: Bunkmates. Ranks: Character Tier List (C as situational, not skip). Unlock notes: Unlock Characters.

Why this unlock still matters if you never main gas

Once Hypnomancer is unlocked, gas can enter the shared drop pool. Temple of Geek is explicit: play the kit once and other bunkmates can later find the weapon. That is the practical reason to push Boiler even if you live on Gun Man or Baby. Synergies and Weapons treat Gas Grenade as choke control, weaker in wide pits unless you also hold a bullet line.

Steam trophies that sit near this kit:

• Hypnomancer — second Boiler boss (the door)
• Tombs — first boss in Boiler (arena spine, not this bunkmate)
• Kill Zone — final Boiler boss
• Multiheal — fully explore Boiler

Do not confuse those. The second boss is the character. The first boss is the next-arena trophy. Full list: Achievements. Boss windows: Beat Bosses.

How to play gas

Public copy does not name a unique movement extra. You still cling, climb, and swim on Movement. Gas wants chokes. Corridor and Boiler’s industrial lanes are the published match. Wide Pit floors and open Catacombs rooms want a second slot with a gun. Flood still prefers Leggy webs or Bug flight for water; a cloud helps only if enemies must walk through it.

Plan:

1. Clear the first-boss spine to Boiler: Catacombs → Pit → Corridor → Boiler. Getting Started if Catacombs is still noise.
2. Enter Boiler with two weapon slots and extra hearts from the Dogmancer. Do not first-try the second boss on a naked starter.
3. Survive to the second boss window. Take area cards for adds on phase changes. Loadouts.
4. After the unlock, play one Hypnomancer run so gas can join the pool, then return to your main if you want.
5. Streamer Mode is for Barbarian and Skinja, not this kit’s presentation.

Launch-week letters put Hypnomancer in C because open rooms dilute the cloud. That is “situational,” not “trash.” A later charms roll or a bounce-ball line can still carry a Boiler night. If the client crashed on 25 August, take both 26 August hotfixes and read Troubleshooting.

What this page will not say

It will not invent a Bone price sitting on top of the Boiler fight. It will not invent a gas DPS table. It will not treat Candlemaker or Explosionist as Hypnomancer recipes. Leech is still a Wyrm speed kill. Messhof’s news titles are hotfix and hotfix 2. Compare kits: Character Compare.

Hypnomancer is the choke specialist with the only fully public unlock fight. Take the second Boiler boss, bank the shared pool, then pick the arena that actually wants a cloud.
