I went to my friend's tonight and we played Isaac together. And I found a GLITCH!!!! I can tell ya'll how to win challenge #8, the guppy's hairball one, real easy. But only read this if you want to do it. And yeah I'm sure others have found this but it was fun to find it by chance. So ONLY READ THIS IF you want to cheat.

basically when the second player comes in for whatever reason their familiar spawns with like 5 spirit/evil hearts. But it only takes one from you. When they leave, you get them all back!!!! So you can always be at full health. So we played that challenge together. I did as much of it as I could legit but since I found that I just decided to go through with it. And I beat suicide king later which is my favorite challenge so don't yell at me

whelp im probably doing this..

I used the keyboard exclusively in the original and platinum'd it. But in Rebirth charge items seem very bugged, they fire randomly without me releasing the button. So I took the plunge and tried a controller. Didn't take long at all to get used to it and it feels much smoother. Only thing that seems worse is I can't change my firing direction as easily (and with brimstone, preserve the charge in the process). That will come with practice I guess.

Got Tammy's Head on Azazel that run and it was as glorious as expected.

What the hell is the unlock for the cellar? I'd been through the basement like 100 times without getting it, and then I randomly got it in the middle of the boss rush.

I had thought it was killing all the basement bosses but I didn't think the boss rush bosses counted for things like that, plus it was the third or fourth time I'd done the rush so there is no way I didn't kill whatever, plus I really don't think I could've missed any bosses after that many times.

I unlocked Necropolis by killing the Cage in Sheoul, because the only Depths boss I ever get is Loki.

The boss rush doesn't have every single boss, especially some of the newer ones, but I don't remember what.

The Boss Rush only consists of the old Isaac bosses. I've heard that the cellar unlock is bugged in that you have to kill Gemini in two different ways to unlock it. Once by killing the floating baby first, and once by killing the walking guy first. Maybe that's what happened?

It's number of basement bosses killed I think, I've seen people unlock the cellar in the chest too so it totally counts outside the basement floors. I was wrong

How is an 8 character seeds enough to be able to do every single possible game permutation? With random generation you would think there is an almost infinite number of games.

Also, the seeds don't give you every possible permutation of items etc - just the ones the random number generator could conceivably spit out.

The way they stroll up to you is one of the most unnerving parts of game. Just something sinister about it.

Also getting Ludovico Technique as Azazel just isn't fair to the game.

Well that was one of the hardest runs that I've managed to beat Mom's Heart with so far, played as Eve and got two dmg ups during the entire run. Luckily, got Ludovico Technique on Necropolis 1, and it carried me pretty hard. My defenses were good with two flies and a meat cube, all of them giant sized thanks to the last shop giving that "big friends"-thing, whatever it was. Never had a problem with consumables at least, thanks to a huge amount of Luck up pills I got during the run.

I'm trying this, but I'm wondering how different seeds can be based on what items you have unlocked compared to the person that did it? I mean, I started with Lazarus because I have the D6 with Isaac and wanted to give it a fair shot and it dropped the D6 for me on the 2nd floor. I'll keep going to see what happens but I'm curious to know if you have the D6 yet?

My guess is it's a X% chance every Y seconds. It feels really inconsistent when it triggers.

Or it's just a personal perspective of the flow of time while playing video game that makes it feel inconsistent.

Anyone know which item creates a wormhole which then discharges the attack? I got it with Brimstone and the bosses just melted because you can keep moving and create several of them and it will always attack for the full duration.

Differing unlocks can cause seeds to differ in outcome.
