I beat the Family Man challenge by picking up the battery that reduces charge time, and then Guppy's head. Had a constant swarm of flies at my disposal on cooldown so long as an enemy was still alive. It will also start charging again if you get an enemy fly on the slot machine, which was weird but whatever.

Grapplejack posted:D4 does this too, which is loving lame. Well, because of the way the game works, that's pretty much how they have to do it. The reason the D4 (and similar items) eventually runs out of stuff to reroll your items into is because when they are removed from your 'inventory' they don't get put back in the item pool. When you pick up an item it is removed from the item pool and cannot appear again under any circumstances, because having more than one of the same item (not stuff like HP ups but stat altering/multiplying items) can cause some buckwild bug poo poo to happen.

If I designed a game like this I'd go the Capcom or bullet hell route in that if you get hit it's your fault. Panniculus Rift posted:Yeah, if you don't have enough damage to take him out very quickly, the adversary is pretty much guaranteed to hurt you. His homing brimstone attack is one of the few boss attacks that I have found no good way of predicting/dodging. If you keep circling around, you can avoid some of those shots, but it's pretty much the fuckiest boss in the game imo. When he squishes his body up he's doing an attack, move 90 degrees from where you are (eg. if you're on his left, go above or below him). It's not always brimstone, but you won't get hit when it is.

Power of Pecota posted:So, if you cycle through all the items in the game in an infinite reroll setup, do you get repeats at some point or will the game just crash? I'm probably going to find out, but if the answer's that the game crashes I'd rather not waste my time. You can see this happening in this insane vid from Richard Hammer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-ulHEdPqHk

I've seen multiple dead cats in a single run, and multiple yum hearts. I'm not sure about the yum hearts, but I can guarantee I've picked up 2 dead cats because I had 18 lives+ guppy's collar at one point. Sadly, the second dead cat did not fulfill my 'third guppy item' requirement, but it also means dead cat isn't necessarily removed from the item pool on pick up. Edit; also really thinking about save scumming The Lost with the esc+alt+F4 method. Anyone know how that method interacts with dead cat?

IMJack posted:Would a collectible that let you carry an extra usable item between floors be too OP? Say, a toy box or something that you can always find in the starting room. Touching it while you have a usable item and it's empty will deposit your item. Maybe a section of the shop room could have a locker that you could pay to access, and then be able to deposit a usable item in it, and retrieve that item from a shop locker on a different floor, maybe by using a key?

Waffleopolis posted:Currently in a Lost run, and I am in a lucky position with both Epic Fetus and a Dead Cat. I am in a tresure room with Monstro's Lung in it. I am terrified yet coruious on what it'll do. Can someone tell me what it does so I can decide if I should take it or leave it? Sounds like my Lost run last night. Had Dead Cat + Guppy's Collar + 3rd Guppy item + Epic Fetus. Pretty much a guaranteed win, or so you'd think. Too bad Epic Fetus takes so long to attack, so I lost my last life in a room with several small spiders. I had a Chaos Card saved up for the Lamb too. I swear, after I unlock God Head I'm never touching The Lost again. Crosspeice posted:Geez, if I wanna get Dead Boy, I'm facing the Lamb. No matter how many times I face ???, he just teleports right on me even though I'm moving so fast. I had a problem with this as well, so I tried standing still whenever he teleported and I didn't get hit once. It was only one fight and ~5 teleports though so I can't say it works for certain. Can someone verify this?

I can't properly verify this but I have provided the same advice in this thread and have a larger sample size of probably about 50+ teleports dodged so long as I stop moving, the only times it didn't work being due to human error on my part (forgot to stop moving).

With Epic Fetus + Wafer + Sharp Plug + a 1up I had literally 2 items left in the pool before rolling Pyromaniac (Celtic Cross, Soy Milk, 2 other things I was like "HOLY poo poo I GOT IT THANK gently caress" and didn't register). I had the Monster Manual stashed in the secret room to grab after maxing out rerolls + had a D100 stashed in another room, rerolling to get a full Breakfast build  Now just one A Bandage drop from Plat god~

Got to Satan last night for the first time and beat him. It was really lucky run. I had loads of red hearts and then picked up Guppy's Paw, so I had a crazy amount of health on tap. I guess I should start doing runs with characters other than Isaac now?

You should definitely do some runs with ??? before you go back to Isaac. One of his unlocks gives Isaac a new starting item that makes him into one of the best characters in the game. You should also do some runs with characters other than ???, since they're generally easier to play with than base Isaac and not horribly controller-throwingly frustrating like ???.

That was not bad, even good -- contrary to what I expected, it allowed me to rapid fire at a much quicker rate provided I was willing to tap the button. Then I got Coal from Krampus: it was even great, shots stayed in the air for a long time and got substantial damage boost. Perhaps you could explain what happens?

Blank card + Algiz (resistance) rune is sooo good! I don't know excactly how long the invincibility from algiz lasts, but it seems to be something like 30 seconds, which should be enough to murder most bosses, even on a mediocre run.

I think my favorite item vs its version in old Isaac is Chocolate Milk. It was an objectively good item in the old one but I still HATED using it. In this one it just feels a lot better. I can charge up a shot and instantly pepper in some really fast tears right following it. It's a lot of fun.

The new chocolate milk feels really nice to use, and it synergizes so well with everything. I wish it would show up as often as it did in WotL, because I seemed to get it every run. In general, there are fewer items that are completely worthless in this game. Some are only good in certain situations, and there are a lot of mediocre spacebar items, but unlike in WotL there are hardly any items (execpt the cursed pearl or whatever it's called) that I'm guaranteed to never pick up.

Is there any news about a patch coming out for the PS4 version? Not getting trophies is annoying, but even more annoying are secrets that aren't showing up (like Dead Boy). I really want my save file to have a buff-as-poo poo Isaac. Would be neat if in the future they could let you choose which save file picture you want (minus the polaroid/negative ones).

I got the poop hat but red flies spat out by Mulligans remained hostile. Is this normal? Also Beans! done. Early Humbling Bundle + Sacrificial Dagger, then lucked the Krampus Head. It's really strange that the head is only 3 charges for arguably one of the absolute top-tier use items. That's all challenges!
