Let's talk about devil deal chances and how damage affects it. 1) Does soul heart damage count if a character doesn't have any red heart containers? 2) Is Blue Baby different? 3) Does damage from room hazards count (curse rooms, spikes etc)? I think yes. 4) Does damage from self-harm sources (blood banks, IV Bag, Razor? Blood Rights?) count? I think not. 5) Does killing the boss without taking damage increase the chance? I think yes. Is red/soul damage different here?

For a balanced devil deal, picking up Dark Bum should give you three empty heart containers, and take a red heart away from you.

omeg posted:Let's talk about devil deal chances and how damage affects it. Correct for all of the above, as far as I can recall. Your chance to find a devil room is decreased if you take red heart damage during the level. It is decreased further if you take red heart damage during the boss (if you only take red heart damage during the boss then it applies both, not just the boss one). If you lose red hearts through something that takes red hearts preferentially (blood banks, etc) then that's not a problem.

As for 1, definitely not. Play Azazel or ???, you're pretty much guaranteed to see a Devil Room on the second floor. That's at least my experience.

The Devil Room only cares about red heart damage, even if you have no heart containers. So Blue Baby always qualifies that way. The chance to see a Devil/Angel room is quartered if you entered one in the previous level, and halved if you entered one two levels ago. However, I think having the Goat Head trumps the reduction, and having the Book of Belial seems to guarantee a Devil/Angel Room.

IMJack posted:The Devil Room only cares about red heart damage, even if you have no heart containers. So Blue Baby always qualifies that way. So with Angel rooms is it better to just ignore the devil room when it appears to avoid the reduced chance on the next floor or do you actually have to enter and leave the devil room to increase your Angel room odds?

Here is a thing that is linked in the OPquote:*The chance of finding a Devil/God room without any modifiers is a flat 1%.

Brosnan posted:Here is a thing that is linked in the OP Ok that only applies for someone looking for either, though. I'm specifically trying to maximize my odds of finding Angel rooms. It also doesn't mention the various ways the game decides which to give you, one of which is whether you've turned down a devil deal at some point. My question was whether ignoring the devil room counts as doing so, or whether you have to enter then leave.

You get the reduced chance as soon as the room spawns, whether you enter it or not. The angel room chance only cares whether you make a deal with the devil. You can enter the room, pick up some black hearts, get an item from a red chest, etc., as long as you don't actually trade your health away. I'm not sure how this interacts with the credit card.

Brosnan posted:Here is a thing that is linked in the OP That list is how it worked in the original (which I am guilty of quoting myself), The Book of Belial now guarantees a devil room, and the Book of Revelations may have lost it's bonus.

I guess strictly speaking you can even raise it beyond what all the items in the game can give you with the razor blade + infinite health setups (and a few other items), once the size of your tears has gone beyond the size of the screen though there's no way to really gauge your damage, also your tears would be one shotting anything that exists in the game at this point so .

Yeah when I was googling around about this people had all sorts of crazy ideas about angel rooms, saying that stuff like bombing corpses, picking up black hearts, bombing beggars, etc would all hurt your chances of finding them. I guess I've been overcomplicating it for myself. senae posted:There's also now the evil/faith hidden stat which apparently impacts what room you get.

Does anyone know if the edplusdanielle shop is opening back up soon? I was hoping to get something for someone for Xmas off of there. Doesn't seem to be any news on the site itself.

???'s Only Friend is such a great item, because you can use it to cheese fights just like with Ludo, but without giving up your death-hose of tears for when things charge at you.

You can enter the room, pick up some black hearts, get an item from a red chest, etc., as long as you don't actually trade your health away. I've tested with a credit card + goats head and gotten an Angel Room directly after using the credit card on the devil deal. The ONLY thing that gives you sin/disqualifies you from Angel Rooms is actually PAYING Satan. You can take anything he gives you for free, or charge it all on Mom's card and God doesn't care. Also, beating Krampus counts as "turning down the devil" even if you take his item (which you always should unless he drops his head and you have a better spacebar item). So if you see Krampus on the second floor, you're pretty likely to get an Angel Room on floor 3 provided you avoid red heart damage. Alkydere fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Dec 3, 2014 |

This is game where you poop fire tears on Satan and he dies. I don't think anyone cares about central tenets. I figure an expansion would either include lots of alternate bosses, new alternate floors, or yeah, it'd include God or something which you can reach by defeating Mega Satan from either path.

The last expansion was all about the undead versions of previous bosses/enemies and such, it would be neat to have a "holy" version as well.

I'm sorry, I'm just laughing my rear end off at the idea of entering a boss fight, discovering that you're going up against God, and promptly being killed in an empty room by a white beam from heaven.
