Placenta + Leach + Gnawed Leaf. I AM INVINCIBLE! A really, really boring wolverine. On the more exciting side of the run, I got Polyphemous + Coal + Money is Power + The Pact + The Mark. Not yet to "tears the size of the room" (actually still only about as big as Isaac's head) but they hit pretty hard.

Power of Pecota posted:I hope you rerolled the rest of the chests down to your last half heart, a Pyromaniac there (provided you don't roll the Manual first and can't deposit it in another Chest room where a spacebar item drops) puts you right in the promised land. I had already found the manual and had the tail so I had already managed to put it in another room, and was down to my last two hearts when the scapular popped up. Oh thank god, I thought. And that is when I suddenly realized that my dumb rear end had gotten all 12 heart containers so that I couldnt even use it.  Its ok though, my next run took pity and gave me pyromaniac and pyro for my first two treasure rooms, and I later obtained the humling bundle so I had 99 bombs still going into the chest. The run itself wasnt a slog either since I got the pentgram, scythes, poison tears, tears up pills, and the cancer trinket. Rerolled and healed until I saw ipecac, found the manual and got the Super girl/boy after a few minutes. All that's left is Beans!, Suicide King, and to actually find the Godhead, then I can be part of the cool kids platinum club

I am sad to report that Dr. Fetus + Tear Bombs do NOT create an infinite-recursion bombpocalypse, as I had hoped. Oh well! With the items in the chest and some rerolling abuse I was able to make a droppable bomb that was so powerful it one-shot ???, so at least there is that.

I really dislike Monstro's Lung. The charge time is just way too long compared to Brimstone, although it's miles better than Cursed Eye. What am I doing wrong? Everyone else seems to enjoy it.

My second ??? kill was during a run with Cursed Eye. Well that or hope you don't re-roll and end up with soy-milk, cursed eye and minimum range. That was an instant run-killer  I agree that Monstro's Lung should not have a longer default charge than Brimstone though since Brimstone lets you attack comparatively rapidly from far away while with Lung you have to get almost within touching distance.

With the items in the chest and some rerolling abuse I was able to make a droppable bomb that was so powerful it one-shot ???, so at least there is that. Dr./Epic Fetus are based on your tear effect and damage, not your bomb mods sadly. The unfortunate side effect of this is that Dr. Fetus really sucks without some damage ups and other modifications, like spoon bender, 20/20, triple shot, mutant spider, etc. Epic Fetus on the other hand is always awesome. Some damage ups, Ipecac, and then Mutant Spider rains down so much death that your first green missle will one shot nearly anything before the other 3 hit. In fact the only thing I couldnt one shot in the chest with that was the last form of Mega Satan, which took 2 out of the 4 missles to die. Strange though how 20/20 works with dr. but not epic though, I would've thought it would since triple and mutant spider do.

The item room in Basement I has Book of Revelations. Same floor, I fight Famine and get a Cube of Meat. Caves I, Pestilence. A second Cube of Meat Depths I, War. The third Cube of Meat Womb I, Conquest. A White Pony.

Its a good thing if you never had a white pony before I suppose, but that combined with the ball of bandages makes getting a meatboy rather tricky.

Behold! the shittiest offer in the history of boss rushes! I'm not even that powerful but I need the achievement Edit: Holy gently caress I did it. My motley crew of leech, bob's brain, red candle and mom's toenail managed to pull it off. Luckily I had knockback tears so I was able to basically stop the fast enemies like War and Mask and push them back into the leech. That was one of my favourite battles ever in isaac.

I had a run last night that was supposed to be a coin-farming Azazel run, but that I followed through to the end because the build was so awesome.  I died before reaching ???, but I had Lord of the Flies mode on so for once the change to Laz-2 didn't cost me flying. I needed a Chest win with Lazarus anyway.

I don't really know if I would have been able to take the lamb with what I had on the lost run I finished just now, just a super sloth in the room directly before the boss dropped a chaos card, and I wasn't in any hurry to try and fight him legitimately (though I was guppy with hive mind and a few extra lives left from dead cat). So all I've got left is the boss rush now, I've gotten there a few times, but I always foul it up on a red poop or brimstone laser.

 It was the silliest loving run I've ever had in either Isaac game. So I got basically every Speed Down there was. I was literally as slow as you can go. I couldn't outrun Isaac's Crack the Sky beams. I had to sit top-center and guess which way they'd come from. Thanks to Guppy's Collar, I had one retry and made it count. I skipped Mom due to a lucky Passage rune appearing. Also lucked out in finally getting some Damage Ups in the Womb stages after getting gently caress-all the rest of the game. I've never been more tense playing this game, and I've never been so happy to beat Isaac. I nearly died to It Lives, as I'd lost my one-hit from Holy Mantle, and my slow speed meant I had to get in super close to outrun the lasers, but god drat it I won. Since I skipped Mom, I didn't get the Polaroid and couldn't advance to the Chest, but you know what? It's a start.

Ugh, just had an amazing Lung + Chocolate Milk + Scythe + Max's Body + Parasite run die because I quit out to double check which boss I needed and it crashes on load every time. The scythes would hit everything in a 2x2 room then all the splits would make sure no globins or the like survived.

If you still have that bug you can't unlock Godhead and a couple other secrets due to another bug fixed in the same patch.

Godhead was broken in the same patch where the dead cat exploit works, so you're stuck waiting for the new patch at which point Godhead should pop soon after starting again. Did for me at any rate.

Tears up pills aren't even that good anymore since it really only takes maybe 3 tears up items to max you out (and there's tons of them, including at least 2 that max you on their own). Luck ups are better than they used to be but you still need a lot of them to max out tear effects that check luck.

My addiction to reset-scumming makes me jealous of people who stream or put out YouTube videos who are incentivized to continue every run no matter what dogshit items they get, because people will rage at them if they don't. I need consequences for my bad behavior, dammit. On the plus side, I burnt through 25+ Eden tokens trying to get a powerful start, and now I'll have to be more careful with each Eden run.

I'm a pretty compulsive pill popper and usually it turns out for the better. You can get tons of pills in Caves if you make sure to bomb large mushroom formations, on top of being able to find all the mushroom related items under them.

In the previous game I'd pop every pill I saw because there were an about even number of good and bad effects, but in Rebirth I never ever use pills unless I have something like PHD because there are way more useless/bad effects you can get. The ratio of good to bad is actually about the same depending on where Pheromones lies for you, but it's just not worth it to take the chance anymore.

Pheromones is actually pretty awesome in large rooms. It charms everything, not just poo poo hit by the pink stink cloud, so in a 2x2 room hitting it can effectively kill 3/4ths of the enemies before you even see them.

Charming items and pills in general are pretty good, even if theres only one enemy in the room. It prioritizes making the lone enemies run towards you rather than shoot. Handy on certain things with rear end in a top hat shot effects or patterns.
