You should have it unlocked in the Secrets or in Steam Achievements, you just might have never found them in the wild. I know I haven't.

Another thing the gimp mask does is make enemies drop half hearts every now and then. It's also cool to get the Bible and the Chaos Card and go through the last half of the game with ease.

Yup, same with Krampus' Head, literally the only reason I beat the Lamb.

I finally beat it by getting the Piggybank and the Coin Operated Earthshaker which just let me clear rooms with ease. I did end up with orbiting tears which were a pain until they got powerful enough that anything in the room died in seconds, mom was a piece of cake.

It says the Horseman are out now. :ohdear:

If you find The Ludovico Technique as Azazel that's pretty much a win right there.

I think I'm going to take a break from this game until Dead Boy is fixed. My continue save is just outside the end boss with no damage taken on the floor and a build that I feel 100% confident I won't get hit with.

Definitely pumped for the fixes to get out so I can get Platinum god and then just play on normal and have fun, crazy runs all the time with absolutely everything unlocked.

Woohoo! Finally beat Head Trauma! An early Blood Clot, a late Smart Fly, and a decent amount of HP ups really helped make that run not 100% awful like the other times I tried.

I act once more in
imitation of light
I cannot reasonably explain the run I just had with Azazel. Shears in the first item room, guppy mode, dark bum, some suicide spiders that filled entire floors whenever I killed anything, goat's head guaranteeing satan deals. Then in Sheol I got a dice room which turned me into god knows what, the only things I know for sure I had was quad shot and brimstone familiar, my 99 bombs were exploding into huge shielded tears and I continued to poo poo flies everywhere cause Guppy. I think my brimstones might have been magnetic too if it works with that.

Easily got my first Heart, boss rush and Satan kills with that set up. Sometimes the game just decides you're going to win. Wish I'd written down that seed.

v1.02 is live.

Here is a list of major issues fixed by Patch 1.02.

White textures
Players using OpenGL 2.x due to older graphics hardware had an issue where many textures in the game were white. This should be fixed in 90% of the cases now. If you were using the "ogl2" beta, make sure to opt out of the beta so you can upgrade to 1.02. Many thanks to the people who helped us test this over the weekend.

Window disappearing on startup
This happened to players on Windows. The game window would show up for a short amount of time and then disappear, while the music was still playing.
This issue should be fixed now. In case some of you still experience this, there is a trick to make the window re-appear: Press Windows + Left, or Windows + Right (the little key with the Windows logo, and one of the arrow keys).

Crash on startup
This was caused by a broken options.ini, and could be resolved by deleting the file. The game can detect and repair broken ini files now, so this should be fixed, too.

Startup crash on Linux with shader errors in the log
I'm not entirely sure whether this is fixed or not. The shader errors are sorted out now, and I hope this was the cause of the crash. Make sure to write to isaac@nicalis.com if you are on Linux and your game is still crashing on startup.


:toot: :siren:Missing achievements:siren: :toot:
The following achievements were not unlocking properly (SPOILER ALERT!).

We also fixed a problem with the music pitch during the Epilogue cutscene, and some gameplay related issues.

I beat Family man my first try, but this is only because I got incredibly lucky in the basement and got Lil'steven and the goat head, leading me to pick up a ghost baby from the devil deal and guppy's paw from a red chest. In the caves I got a gish boss too, so that added gish. Eventually by necropolis 2 I had grabbed guppy's collar and head, and it turns out your followers shots count (at least in the challenge I presume) in spawning blue flies as guppy. My damage output from there was enough to carry me to a win.
Also didnt hurt that I had just unlocked Fate and found it in a gold chest in one of those chained up rooms.

Really you're just looking to luck out on a run that will offer you loads of followers and/or other non-tears upgrades and damage outputs, like gemini, ball of tar, etc. Apparently you unlock more followers by beating hardmode with different characters but I havent done any of those yet.

They should totally put in a character whose "thing" is that they can choose their items. Not, like, from the entire pool, that'd be insane, but maybe a choice of 3 each item room?
Not that exactly but I'd love a "you get a bunch of money, can use that money to buy whatever items you want(until you run out of course), then survive as long as you can in an arena"-type mode. that'd be a dlc I'd shell out money for

Personally what I do is move slowly horizontally across the low wall shooting backwards as his legs come down, then move diagonally from that lower corner to an upper one once bomb worms come, move horizontally across the upper wall until leeches come, move diagonally back down to lower wall etc. etc.

I miss the old credits music (not the jesus loves me one), it was 90s Beat Em Up Ending Theme as heck.

I guess it wouldn't have fit that well with the new music though considering it's got the old main menu theme in it.

Nah, you unlock more co-op babies. As far as I know there's no actual items.

So how does The Lost + Dead Cat work now? Does it just do nothing, or do you get 9 lives like you're supposed to? I could probably still make it through the game in 9 hits with the right items.
