What does the paper in the top left of the character select screen mean?



For one of my characters it's this, but for everyone else it's blank.

Couple of pages back, but the star is from beating the boss rush room.

I've also got a heart and an upside down cross with Isaac. I beat Mom's Heart and Satan respectively to get them.

Actually, serious question: How do you display the "FULL" load-out? My little post-in note in the pause screen is full, but not displaying all items.

Just a head-up I don't know if it's been mentioned but Monstro's lung is bugged to hell and certain item combinations will basically end your game by making it impossible or near impossible to shoot. I had to re-start because I picked up an item somewhere and it took over 10+ seconds for my shot to charge. I would avoid it if possible for the time being.

Yep. I had a six second charge time.

I know that the second Zodiac sign you have (the Balance one) seems to reorder your stats and items. Usually I end up with a buncha keys and bombs and tear rate but lose out on attack power because of it.

Ugh kinda mad. Whatever item that is a proc to teleport to a random when you take damage just screwed me out of my first mom's heart kill. Only need a few more tears to kill her and I got teleported out from taking damage. What item was that, anyone know?

What's the Guillotine?

Also, I found a couple types of secret rooms that run:

One that appeared under a rock, and went down a ladder (side-scroller style for an interim screen), then had something between a shop and a devil room

Another secret room in the womb had red dots on the floor, and a bunch of items, but when I got a few of the items, the whole floor reset.


Whatever, weird as gently caress but I killed the heart and I think maybe I was indestructible somehow - If I got hit, my red hearts turned to grey then... back again? And I was guppy, too. Insane. Love this game.

Also, first Guppy run! :toot:

Still just as good. Now for the other transformations, whatever they are.

I got guppy on my 4th run, although I'm not sure what the 3rd item was cause it def wasnt dead cat or the tail and I had picked up the head and paw. Guppy's swinging tail was so :3:

Anyone know how to unlock Judas this time around? Just completed the Womb and he didn't unlock so I have no idea. Also, has anyone unlocked the new secret character yet?

EDIT: The extra damage from Bob's Brain is nice but I wish I could see the cooldown timer on it so I don't keep accidentally using it on close enemies.

Guppy's head is REALLY powerful on Azazel.

Also, on my first game I got a mom kill. On my second, I didn't, but I did get a chest kill.

Jeez. You're kind of a bitch.
Azazel + Tammy's Head is an amazing combo. In fact, Azazel is pretty good overall. Flight + Mini Brimstone + 3 black hearts + can get red heart containers. He's overall, a much better ???.

Azazel is really strong but balanced by how loving ANNOYING the sound for his laser is. I'm playing him for the first time right now and I'm just taking my headset off because I can't take that noise anymore.

Does each link in the chain connecting them count as an enemy or something?

Speaking of the D10, I want to see someone do it against Teratoma/Envy.

Against my expectations my first attempt at Hard mode turned out to be a success as well, although I did actually die twice but was saved by being Lazarus and Guppy. :v: Hard mode seems a lot more interesting than normal, although the real late game might be pretty brutal. Didn't get any crazy combos or anything, just a cat man doing cat things and shooting max power tears while flying around.



I call him Catarus.

E: Oh right, Sheol is already available from there. Guess it's not over yet.

This game feels a lot easier than the old one, I think it's mostly due to how powerful some of the new items are. I haven't reached the cathedral or chest yet though, and there's also hard mode.

Seems to be more/harder enemies at least. And yeah, there are hardmode-exclusive unlocks afaik.

Just one more thing!
When you get Guppy you unlock a challenge where you start with Guppy and Guppy's hairball, but you can't shoot because you have a blindfold on. So you have to beat things to death with Guppy's hairball, but you do start with plenty of health (3 of each heart type). I managed to get through that one on the first try. Fortunately, I found a Bible so once I got to Mom I got a free win.

Spent a good bit of time playing it today and my stats so far are 3 mom kills, 3 deaths and a streak of 3. I've killed Satan twice as well but that didn't count into the Mom kill total.

I never thought I'd say this, but the Magician Card was just incredibly helpful for me. It plus brimstone made the post-mom boss rush trivial.
Also, brimstone+ the brimstone follower is lovely.

I am definitely pleased with the amount of new poo poo they added to the game. I guess knowing the old game inside out does help some though, because I killed mom on my first run and the cathedral boss on my second.
