So which crappy item is it that makes you teleport out of a room if you get hit? Could never finish regular mom because every hit threw me into a random room.

Probably Cursed Eye.

One of the challenges gives you max damage giant polyphemus piercing boomerang shots and I got Tammy head on the second floor and wound up walking into a room, filling it with 360 degrees of piercing hot pointy boomerang death and repeating.

I literally one shot Mom's Heart and it was great.

Also, you can't get achievements when you're using a seed, correct? Or is there some other meaning to the grail in a 'no' sign emblem when you have a seed running?

I loved Bob's Rotten Brain. At least in the PS4 version, there's a delay from it spawning again and you being able to fire it. I never accidentally hurt myself by having it spawn and immediately blow up because I was firing.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
first heart kill! Didn't have anything with crazy effects but I got Money Is Power, 99 bombs, and the trinket (lucky rock?) that makes rocks always drop coins when destroyed. maxed out my money pretty quickly that way and was able to do some serious damage. By the way, the mushrooms and skulls and stuff that appear in some rooms instead of rocks aren't just palette swaps -- bombing the mushrooms seems to have a really high chance of a pill dropping, so keep that in mind if you end up with PHd. I also got a Red Mushroom item from one that gave +1 to all stats. Skulls seem to have a chance of dropping tarot cards the same way mushrooms do pills but I didn't get to bomb enough to confirm it for sure.

Also, I hadn't seen it mentioned yet, but you're limited in how many coins you can donate to the shop in a single run. not sure if it's a hard limit or randomized like slot machines blowing up is, but eventually a coin will get stuck in the slot and the machine will jam, so if you end up in a situation like me where you basically have access to infinite coins you unfortunately can't blow through all the shop upgrades at once

edit: it's been a long time since I played the original, do I have to do something special to get into Hell or will it just start appearing after the heart as I continue to complete runs?

Donation limits appear randomised. I've had it stop accepting things after a very small number of coins, on the first floor.

Hell you either get into by killing Mom's Heart enough times, or getting a devil room after killing Mom's Heart. Or "We Need to go Deeper"/I Am Error I guess.

Picking up two worm trinkets with mom's purse makes your tears do some crazy poo poo. I had rapidly circling tears that spun in a zig-zag pattern and I couldn't hit poo poo and it was just wonderful.

So, it turns out you can get around Azazel's range issues by picking up regular Brimstone.

In related news, Brimstone + homing tears (magician card/spoon bender) owns hard.

here's the thing donovan, I'm always hungry
Alright so I killed mom (and got all the no hit achievements) because I got Ludovico on Azazel on the first floor.

Then there was this massive boss rush thing that I managed to beat but it sapped away enough of my health to be able to get to Mom's heart. I really need to learn which items will kill my run because that broken remote thing is probably the worst trinket in the game. It teleports you every time you use your active item.

Better shops for later games. I think it expands them so they hold more items.

I got broken remote with the empty bottle (for storing hearts) and you can literally just teleport as much as you want. Just cheese the hell out of it and teleport until you hit the item rooms, secret rooms, shops, loot the arenas and bounce when enemies spawn, and then just keep waiting till it plops you in the boss room.

That combo was the sole reason I no-hit the first three floors in one run.

At certain donation levels, I think 20 or 25 for the first level, your shop upgrades and gets better items in the pool. The amount carries over to future runs and you just build off of it. It limits the amount you can donate per run so you can't just get a dollar and power level it.

I think you can bomb it to get coins out in later runs. Like 3-5 at a time.

That is potentially useful if you're trying to get into the I am Error room or if you run out of keys and have an item that recharges quick like the blue candle. Not something you want for every situation though.

Where does the item appear, in the level hat you are on? I can never find it.

What are those checkered flag rooms with the single spike tile in the middle? Why do some items have no effect like the lockpicks? What is the bad gas pill? What is anything. I don't understand this game and it doesn't tell you sh*t and kinda sucks.

Its a useable item like a tarot card or a pill. It drops sometimes from rooms in normal runs I've found, you cant miss it, looks like a rock that grows purple.

When you pick it up it says "Change". Its a one time use reroll of a pedastal item. Took me too long to figure that out :downs:

Found a humble bundling in a shop, hilarious.

Key beggars give you chests at a decent pace. I've mostly seen gold chests, some regular, and the occasional red. I'm sure they'll drop stone chests as well. If you've got a lot of extra keys they are WELL worth it.

So we can spell words, just not with those letters.

There goes the gently caress TITS seed. And pretty much anything involving poo poo or poop, a shame since that's 99% of the game.

I've had more than once skulls that get bombed turn into turrets. If there's still enemies in the room, they count towards the door opening. If not, they don't, and disappear when you go back in, like the poop flies.

And speaking of, I noticed that cupid's arrow (and maybe other armor piercing status?) doesn't pierce turret armor any more. It still works fine on knight armor though.

Cry 'Mayhem!' and let slip the dogs of Wardlow.
Had an interesting glitch where I used the butter bean item to push away one of the fatty enemies and the game slowed down to like half speed, probably slower. Luckily it fixed itself when I restarted the client.

Unfortunately, nothing can fix picking up the Cursed Eye. I hope they change that item around cause I think it would be pretty good if it didn't fuckin' teleport you whenever you get hit.
