The Steak Justice posted:The best way to get the Dark Boy achievement in rebirth is by sheer accident after it was the last achievement you got in the original. Yeah I somehow got all four _____ Boy achievements before having even unlocked It Lives. Rebirth seems very polarized in terms of items, I never really have runs where I just kind of limp through the game and claw my way to victory, I either get ridiculously good items and stomp my way through everything or I grab loving Soy Milk or something like it and my run immediately comes to a screaming halt.

Want to know what's cool? Mutant Spider on Azazel, letting me practically inhale the boss rush room. Want to know what isn't? Collecting my prize and realizing it's Technology.

People still complaining about Bob's Brain.  Also maybe I'm just crazy or something but in the handful of times I got the dark bum it didn't always spit out soul hearts at a 1:1 ratio. Some times it would eat a heart and not do anything.

Sanctum posted:Did you use your re-roll in the curse room after becoming guppy, and if so did guppy's head re-roll into the goat head for you as well? I don't have the D6 yet- but if I pick up the guppy items then bomb the chest I get the Mask of Infamy. If I blow up the chest before picking up the guppy items I get guppy's head. Weird.

Just saved my Eden with Soy Milk run by getting Guppy. Thank god for that since I had no idea how much longer I could last.

I just realized that I've played the last five games on Hard.  Spoiler: it's a lot harder. I was wondering why no goddamn resources were dropping.

Now that the game is patched, I can finally play for real! (I somehow managed to beat Mom's Heart twice while completely blind) I tried out Azazel and got Dark Bum in the basement, then was able to get to and easily destroy Sheol for the first time.

Bob's Brain has some quirks with it, and once you get used to those it's easier to handle. It actually has a cooldown when you enter a room, where it won't fly off for a few seconds. Then it also has the same cooldown after it respawns. These delays make it less likely that you're going to blow yourself up.

I gotta say, the best way to beat some of these challenges has to be the randomizer rooms, Head trauma was beaten thanks to a completely different loadout.

Hard Mode seems interesting. It's less everything is harder and more attrition strategies will not work. The enemies take longer to kill so you can't hope to DPS race them, and with less hearts dropping its harder to facetank. Of course, there's the bullshit moments when it screws you out of a key. Those are never fun.

Let me tell you about my most hilarious run yet Lazarus + brimstone + homing tear + wiggle waggle + spider bite + 100% chance of poison tears and some other poo poo     It ripped through poo poo faster than my print screen function worked. Brimstone looping everywhere because that's what wiggle waggle + homing does apparently.  And that was without any damage upgrades. r i d i c u l o u s M42 fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Nov 8, 2014 |

Well had my first randomizer room, so long soy milk and hello Ludovico Technique and Gemini baby following me around. It let me keep Guppy which was nice of it and now I spawn a horde of spiders also which is certainly something.

Just had the most broken run I've ever had. First floor as Azazael picked up some item that turned my attack into just a ring of brimstone that I had to move around manually. Then I picked up a health up pill and spent my one heart container on a Pact. Then the next boss dropped a Pentagram. Then the next item room had a Money = Power and I was able to use the drop doubler thing on a room with like 8 cents on the floor already. Boss rush room was piss easy, beat mom's heart in less than 30 seconds. The only hard part was keeping track of my character and my attack both in the XL rooms,

I decided to try my first Eden run for shits and giggles. Decent starting roll, somehow made it to the the Boss Rush with a very middling build (Shield, Dead Onion, I think one more damage up) and got through with my one red heart left, so I'm pretty much hosed for the womb. Until I notice the Boss Rush prize was Dark Bum who turned the 40 hearts littering the floor into soul hearts. They I tried my first Azazel run and the first item room was Ludivico. Second item room was Infestation 2 and I spent the rest of the run with an army of about 50 spiders following me because I was killing things too fast for them to do any damage and despawn. I love this loving game.

drunken officeparty posted:So can someone spoil me on all the different levels/bosses there are. It took me a good while to get to the chest/??? boss fight in the original and it'll just be longer to get to whatever the hell is past that now. Noticed no one answered this yet. Okay, so there's 2 big things that Rebirth added to the endgame. The first is a new floor, called the Dark Room, which is accessed by bringing the negative to Satan and beating him, in much the same way that you'd bring the polaroid to the Isaac fight and then get to enter the chest. The boss on this floor is known as The Lamb; he's not too terrible. That's the first thing. The second is a true final boss. Mega Satan (yes, that's his name,) is a very bullet hell-y fight, probably the most bullet hell-y the game gets. I'm still a bit hazy on how to actually get to him.

I just got Anti-gravity Tears on Lazarus/Brimstone. I actually really like the effect, if only because I can leave a shot behind and then move to safety. Plus, even the vortex while it's forming does damage, so it's actually really good if you can get enemies to jump on it! Also got a new familiar called Mongo Baby. He looks like a frakensteinish mish mash of familiars, but all I could see from him is that he shot faster and harder than the other ones (although that alone makes him way better, especially dealing with spiders and such).

Man, Ringworm is a horrid trinket to use when you don't have any other shot buffs. High speed shots, quad shots, lasers, brimstone, I imagine they work rather well with Ringworm (and I know high speed orbital shots work hilariously well with Ringworm) but it's horrible on the Basement/Cellar if you don't have anything fancy going on.

I'd say Bob's Brain is closer to a run-saver than a run-loser, it's big chunk of additive damage that will make any bossfight at least bearable. It's a little awkward when you're fighting nearby enemies but you can usually just chuck it off to the side to "distract" it.

First try as Judas, and first boss rush! I mean, I guess I didn't need any other items at this point, but really, that's the best you can do? Those napalm tears are amazing by the way, especially when spectral.

How do you unlock the boss rush? I've beaten the game several times now and have unlocked Sheol/Cathedral but never seen the boss rush.Alkydere posted:Man, Ringworm is a horrid trinket to use when you don't have any other shot buffs.

Almost all the worm trinkets just seem like gimmicks to use only when you have some weird item that combos with it. The only one I've found to be worth keeping with standard tears is the pulseworm since it makes your shots bigger without messing with their trajectory.
