Monstro's Lung and Chocolate Milk carried me to my first successful Sheol run. I got some tears up upgrades which speed up the charge rate on the shot. Think I got only one damage upgrade but this was enough to one shot every boss. Even managed to get to the boss rush before hitting the Womb.

Suicide King turned out ok, got carried by Guppy's Head for a good while and ultimately found Brimstone in a devil room. Goddamn if there's a Cathedral Iron Man achievement, though, because I just took one single hit just before delivering the final blow on Isaac.

Wow, I wanted to say it's a great game and I'm liking it, it really lived up to expectations, except for the bugs. Sometimes my heath bar disappears and occasionally the game screws up and puts me 2 rooms over when walking between screens, anyone else having this problem?

I never got to the end of Sheol and finally managed to reach it with the completely overpowered Azazel + Dark Bum combo. I never fought Satan before. I didn't make it even with 12 lives  e: some really nasty stuff in Sheol for a newbie like me  death screen: lordfrikk fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Nov 7, 2014 |

First time all the items were ?s instead of their icons I thought I ran into some resource loading bug and restarted the game before realizing that those were some well drawn question marks..

If you manage to get a random devil/god room (or force one to appear with the goat head/joker card/a red chest teleport) after Mom's Heart is dead they will also have the portal. Cheers, no idea what Sin or Faith are. I have picked up "Faith/Sin up" items but had no idea what the gently caress they did. Had a beastly run on Azazel, got the item that lets you move shots around with the arrow keys, which on Azazel meant I had a giant circle of remote-control whirling death that would murder things while I stood away in safety

Today I learned not to pick up Laser Tear when you're playing as Azazel. It completely nerfs him, he goes from death machine to wimpy little laser eyes.

You can also force a trap door to Sheol if you use We Need To Go Deeper (the shovel) while on Womb 2. However, this won't give you a Mom's Heart kill unless you use it after you kill her (or at least, it didn't count for me).

Whoever made the challenges forgot the crucial ingredient: fun. I don't mind hard, hard is good, but there is nothing fun whatsoever spending minutes whittling tiny enemies down with farts or orbiting flies. I've only tried a handful of challenges so maybe I just picked the wrong ones, but they've all involved some lovely low damage gimmick. It's dumb.

The "no tears" challenge where you start with 99 bombs is pretty easy with a little luck. Bomb your way out of rooms that'll take you more than one bomb to clear, don't take any risks or explore - it's not too hard to reach Mom with enough bombs in stock to seal the deal.

lordfrikk posted:The Purist is the worst because you don't even start with any items are there no treasure rooms. I haven't tried it yet, but I think The Purist would be easier now because there are more opportunities to get items. Upgrade your shop before the challenge so you have more item choices there, for example. If you get a Goat's Head and get Devil Deals all the time, you have a much easier time.

haveblue posted:What does the other contract item do? The one with the text that says "Wealth, but at what cost..." Nobody knows for sure yet, but the currently accepted speculation is that it increases your item drop chance but also increases the chance of finding bosses in normal rooms/double-wide boss rooms.

Crosspeice posted:Uggggggh, the one thing I dislike about this game is due to its RNG nature, you can end up with a really boring, dull run where you get no familiars, no big damage items, no orbitals and just bang your head against the wall until you run out of health pickups. Pretty Fly is by far the best endgame item because it makes the tough bosses at the end not a damage race. Because if it is, they will win. Not to say that orbitals aren't great, because they very much are. Beasteh posted:http://platinumgod.co.uk/dark-bum is a fairly accurate description of dark bum.

So, I beat the cathedral before ever going to hell thanks to the goat head. Turns out if you turn down a devil deal before you get it-- you get holy rooms each boss instead. Needless to say Maggie was well-buffed.

Haha, I had a pretty strong combo with Isaac (D6+Guppy+a few damage ups), saw a dice room and decided to roll with it. I ended up getting a first-hit invincibility, anti-gravity, bombs that explode into 8 tears, parasite, homing tears, and a whole bunch of other power ups. I beat every room by dropping 1-2 bombs and letting my tears wipe out the room. I one-shot mom's heart and blue baby with a single bomb. I was also immune to explosive damage, it was the most broken combo ever. On a side note, I heard that you can drop trinkets but I don't know if that's true. Is there a keyboard command for that or was it just a rumor?

Einwand posted:So it turns out having a full 3 generic fly orbitals makes you completely immune to bullets due to the size change from the original. Mom's Heart has a pattern that can break through. It's the super fast, directly aimed machine gun burst. It's fast enough to bust through the shield. I wonder if adding the upgrade that increases their size would still do that?
