Does it re-lock all the store upgrades when it does?

I'm pretty sure I bombed money out of a donation machine to go under 150 for a few games and still got a Black Candle appearance - I think the reset would just take you back to an empty donation machine and no other effects.

I wish there was a colorblind mode or something. Red poop looks almost identical to normal ones. And evil heart and red heart drops are almost as bad. I've turned up the gamma to compensate but it doesn't do enough.

Couldn't hurt to try sending Nicalis an e-mail or something. People seem to be a lot better about including that sort of thing these days, maybe they'll try adding it in.

Sorry if this is a redundant topic, but I scanned the last couple pages and didn't see it mentioned:

I was in the Womb I last night when my screen flickered and the game seemed to slow down noticeably, playing very similar to old school BoI with its performance issues. It stayed that way through almost the entire level, then 2/3rds of the way through the boss fight, the screen glitched again and everything sped up - considerably more than normal speed. I couldn't adjust fast enough and died soon after.

So my question is - was that one of those random level handicaps, or is my system in need some TLC?

Were you streaming or recording?

Man, Guppy's Collar plus Nine Lives saved my live in Sheol, what a batshit insane run, Anti-Gravity was actually super useful here:

I gathered my Polyphemus spectral tears before the Fallen appeared to one shot him, repeat for the smaller ones.

Did the same against the first form, while dodging his first tears

Cheesed it for the second forms, the army of flies created by the dead cat killed him while I tried to avoid getting stomped.

I couldn't even use Krampus head anymore since I had cleared out all the rooms.

All of that after betting my last life in a devil room.

Why are you all hating on the cellar? It's not like it's a super difficult area that will wreck your poo poo. Unless I'm some kind of godlike Isaac player and the only one who can handle it. Which is something I greatly doubt.

It's not that it wrecks you, but getting Devil/Angel rooms is key to getting a run going that will take you all the way to the endgame. Losing red hearts on the floor or in the boss fights prevent that. The Cellar doesn't outright destroy you, but you're a lot more likely to lose red hearts on the floor or get your soul heart reserve drained by the floor and have none left to protect you from the boss.

Most of the runs where I get to Womb 2 and realize my build is too weak to do poo poo on the next floors, I haven't gotten many Devil/Angel deals.

The Negative unlocks the Dark Room, which follows after Satan and Sheol. You need to finish the Cathedral five times to unlock the Polaroid, which unlocks the Chest. Once you beat either one of those areas you will have unlocked the final, completely optional boss.

After killing Satan if you're holding the negative you can touch the chest to proceed to the next level, there is another branch that is unlocked later on.

I would like to confirm for the thread that credit card + devil room = free devil deals:



I probably should have taken a before, but I didn't know if it would work.

Spoonbender on the first floor. Three guppy items in the first devil room. Brimstone on the very next floor. Holy mantle the floor after.

I've never had a win literally thrown at me before but Jesus game some subtlety would be nice.

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:
Oh man, I just had a run where Eden started (or at least quickly got) Card Mimic, a Judgement card and Piggy Bank. Nun's Habit on an early floor. Infinite money, infinite beggars, infinite life (once I got a sun card). Feels like vanilla Isaac all over again. I'd post the seed but I don't think Eden's stuff is seeded (?) and it wouldn't be much fun without the card mimic. I had almost every item in the game before I got bored and one-shot the boss.

Another super fun one, though, was J20N-X0DY. You get Ipecac and Chocolate Milk pretty early, and if you've never seen that combination... it's pretty funny. You can launch explosions rapid fire, or charge up for a massive explosion. Double shot drops later on, and the chest has Tiny Planet if you're an insane person.

I was just watching Netflix in the other screen, but I do that all the time without having goofy issues.

Today's runs have been great, two heart kills in a row and my first Satan kill (the devil room/passage to Sheol didn't show up the on the second heart kill unfortunately.) No weird performance issues.

You get Dr. Fetus, and a Forget-me-now which if used on the floor you get it on will give you Pyromania. Those alone make you unkillable. But then you get the sharp plug from a shop on one of the curse of the unknown floors and :psyduck:

And to top it all off, there are at least two chaos cards in this.

Eve is great if you can get a Soul/Sin heart barrier and remove your red hearts via devil deals.

Goddamn, Dried Baby is the most amazing thing when fighting It Lives/Isaac/???. Just sit it between you and the boss and watch it not only block each and every incoming shot but regularly Necro-nuke the room.

I've literally never gotten hit in one of those rooms. Stand still until they appear then run behind them. They don't do any contact damage, so you can run right through them.

I'm not hugely into this game so I have no idea what I just did, but I killed Mom and went into a broken room above her. There were 4 items, I picked one and then a loving boss rush happened. I was fighting 2 at a time and managed to get past about 6 waves before Gish and something else that jumps around and slams killed me. Is that room supposed to just be wave after wave? Cos if so holy poo poo how are you supposed to even beat it?

That's Boss Rush, and yes. It's almost every boss. If you have good items and some flies or buddies for support, you can do it.

Have one of the overpowered item combos that lets you mop up bosses in about five seconds each.
