All 216 Occult Scrolls and How to Get Them in Gunfire Reborn

In Gunfire Reborn, Occult Scrolls are passive effects that last for the rest of your run, from the first stage until it ends. You never activate them yourself. Once you pick one up, it works on its own, and many only kick in when something specific happens. They come in Normal, Rare, Legendary, and Cursed tiers, and you find them in vaults, from merchants called Peddlers, in chests, and from elite enemies and bosses.

How Occult Scrolls Work in Gunfire Reborn

Each Occult Scroll changes one part of how your hero fights or survives. It might raise your damage, change how reloading works, add shield, change how ammo behaves, or boost your skills. Many only kick in under a certain condition, like right after a dash, when your shield breaks, or while you stand still. The trigger matters because it decides how often a bonus actually helps, so a scroll that matches how you move and fight will pay off more often.

The tier, Normal, Rare, or Legendary, is a rough guide to how hard a scroll is to find. Rare and Legendary scrolls are harder to come by, so it's worth a close look at any one that shows up. Cursed is a separate red tier with rules of its own.

Cursed Occult Scrolls and How to Handle Them

Cursed scrolls sit in a red tier of their own, and each one is built around a downside. Elemental Curse stops you from inflicting elemental effects at all. Cateye Sight cuts your weapon accuracy in half, so more of your shots miss. Burden of Solitude is the one to watch if you like playing alone, because it keeps damaging you whenever no teammate is nearby, though the hit won't knock you down.

Cursed scrolls normally can't be discarded, so you can't simply throw one away. The regular Evil-Banishing Talisman gives you immunity to all cursed scrolls, and its enhanced version also makes your cursed scrolls discardable. Curse Away is a Rare scroll that lets you pick two cursed scrolls to stop working, or three when enhanced, and it's destroyed once you discard it.

Some scrolls actually reward you for carrying curses. Evil-Devouring Sword adds weapon and skill damage for each cursed scroll you own, and Good and Evil gives a Lucky Shot bonus if you have none, plus extra max shield for each one you do own. Pain for Gain hands you three cursed scrolls right away and may swap one out for a random scroll as you finish stages. If you're going to carry curses anyway, these help turn them into something useful.

Enhanced Occult Scrolls on Reincarnation

On Reincarnation difficulty, Occult Scrolls can appear in an Enhanced form. Enhanced versions are built to be better, with a stronger effect, a smaller downside, or both. Take It All shows how that works. In its regular form it stops you from discarding any Occult Scroll, but the enhanced version lifts that ban on your other scrolls and never destroys itself.

A few things make Enhanced scrolls more likely to show up. With Occult Booster, scrolls the Peddler sells have a chance to come Enhanced. Mystic Token makes the scroll a boss drops Enhanced once you defeat or help defeat that boss. The enhanced form of Effective Split can also give you an Enhanced scroll.

How to Get Occult Scrolls

Vaults are one of the main places to find scrolls. Green vault chests let you choose from a set of options, while blue vault chests usually give you one random scroll. Peculiar Chests can also hand out scrolls, and some scrolls come from first-time unlocks.

Enemies are another way to get them. Elite enemies and bosses can drop scrolls when they fall, and challenge events on the harder Reincarnation levels can drop them as well. Only one challenge event per act can drop a scroll, though, and the rest only give out a healing bun.

Peddlers normally stock weapons and supplies, not scrolls. The Big Box talent changes that, so a Peddler can sometimes offer a scroll in place of one of its weapons. Stable Supply, a Normal scroll, makes sure the Peddler always has one on offer, and Lucky Find raises the odds of Rare and Legendary scrolls showing up there, though it also makes them more expensive.

How to Unlock Occult Scrolls

Not every scroll is open to you right away. Some are available from the start, but many need you to meet a condition first. Most of those conditions ask you to defeat a certain enemy a set number of times, sometimes in a specific stage, sometimes on elite or higher difficulty, and sometimes with a critical hit or a certain type of damage. Elemental Cube, for example, asks you to defeat Lightning Grenadiers 50 times with Elemental damage.

Some ask for a Talent level instead, as Long Shot and Spirit Feline do.

If there's a scroll you want, read its unlock condition before a run. Knowing what it takes lets you aim your runs at the right enemies from the start.

How to Discard and Share Occult Scrolls

Discarding gets rid of a scroll you no longer want, and most scrolls can be thrown away. Some can't be discarded at all, including Reforge, Energy Storage, and the scrolls you take with Greedy Choice. A few scrolls trigger an effect when you discard them, so it's worth checking what a scroll does before you let it go.

In co-op, you can drop scrolls for teammates or ping them, so a scroll that suits a friend's build can go to them. Some effects shut that down. Stubborn Stance, for example, blocks you from picking up shared scrolls and from sharing your own.

Some scrolls care about the team. Mutual Respect adds weapon damage and damage reduction for each copy your team owns, but it only works in multiplayer. Generosity and Field Support only drop in team games, and Shared Adversity can give you the same cursed scroll when a teammate picks one up.

The Occult Scrolls That Matter Most

Plenty of scrolls are useful, but only a few change a run enough to plan around. The ones worth knowing have big effects you notice right away, and they split neatly into survival and damage.

Lifesaver is built for staying alive. When your HP would hit zero, it holds you at 1 HP for a few seconds, and any enemy you kill in that window restores a big chunk of your HP and shield. The regular version is destroyed after it triggers once. Lightless Shield works differently, building up stacks over time that each block one attack.

Spirit Bible is built for skill-focused runs, giving a large boost to skill damage, and its enhanced version adds more for each Occult Scroll you own. Final Judgment suits a weapon-focused run, since your weapon attacks instantly finish off normal enemies and bosses once their HP drops low enough.

FAQ

What is Curiosity Box in Gunfire Reborn?

Curiosity Box is a Normal scroll that gives you one to three random Occult Scrolls when you pick it up. Its enhanced form gives you Enhanced scrolls instead, and either version has an extremely small chance of handing you a cursed scroll. Fortune Challenge goes further by making scroll drops, Peddler shops, and mysterious chests offer only Curiosity Box.

How much do Occult Scrolls cost at the Peddler?

Prices rise with each stage and with rarity, so a Legendary scroll late in a run costs far more than a Normal one in the first stage. Prices are slightly randomized, and Haggle or Special Offer can bring them down. The Peddler only has one scroll for sale at a time, counting any you've already bought, or two when Dazzling Treasures is at its second level.

How do I buy an Enhanced Occult Scroll?

The Phantom Peddler is the place to buy one directly. It only appears on Reincarnation difficulty, in random stages other than starting and boss stages, and it offers three enhanced weapons and one enhanced scroll, paid for with soul essence. Haggle doesn't lower its prices, and New Look doesn't refresh its offers.

Can I hold a regular and an Enhanced version of the same scroll?

No. If you pick up an Enhanced version while holding the regular one, the regular version is dropped automatically. If the regular version can't be discarded, it gets destroyed instead.

What do Wondrous Chest and Exquisite Chest do when discarded?

Both scrolls are destroyed when you discard them, and both let you pick from a random group of scrolls. Wondrous Chest, a Legendary scroll, lets you choose two, while Exquisite Chest, a Rare one, lets you choose one. Their enhanced versions offer bigger groups to pick from.
