I'm skeptical, but I'll try it. I think I might just be on tilt with him. The read tears from the tiny little haunt guys always seem to get me while I'm dodging. I'll try your wall method since it's not like my method is working.

That's because the red tears track your speed and aims for where you will be going - but they have a finite range so if you're backpedaling they just fall off without hitting you. At least that's what I think is happening.

At least that's what I think is happening. The smaller haunts also move in the direction you are going, so you can slightly manipulate them into flying away from you. It's not 100% consistent, but I've found it useful a handful of times.

We'd both read somewhere that BoR removes the chance for Conquest to show up so we carried it all the way to the Womb for the hell of it. Conquest can still show up even with the Book. And the Headless Horseman, both of which will ruin your runs for Meat Boy or Bandage Girl. Book of Revelations also can't do anything about Double Trouble bosses or Mr. Fred due to the room sizes. Not being able to buy the Book from the shop anymore really made those achievements more frustrating to get.

I don't grow thick facial hair, but the wife likes my stubble and tries to stop me from shaving. I could never be a true hipster (I don't want to be, just so we're clear). Disgusting Coward posted:

Finally had the fun of Libra + Soy Milk. Got Libra early, along with the Bottle of Pills. Basically took the time to farm as many pills as I could out of each floor, so my stat ups were going through the roof. Wasn't until a Key Beggar in the Dark Room dropped Soy Milk for me that my already great damage when completely nuts, does make a huge difference to take Soy Milk. The Lamb didn't even get the chance to damage me, it went down so fast. And no, wasn't even Guppy either, just silly amounts of stat ups.

I'd also completely forgotten you could buy it in the store in the original. Guess that partially explains why I had a level 4 meatboy following me around so often in that one. Kind of odd you can't buy it anymore since it's lost most of its oomph, what with the heart cap and Habit being nerfed from the original.

I always assumed you had to pick up soy milk and then libra would balance it later.

Libra doesn't just balance on pickup, but balances all throughout the game as well. Its part of why its controversial, since it can make a string of bad stat-ups workable or a string of good stat-ups much worse.

Libra is not a one time effect- it's persistent. It applies to all item and stats before and after you pick it up. e:f,b

Might seem counter-intuitive in some cases, but I believe it doesn't matter what order you pick up items that synergise, as long as you know what the ultimate outcome will be it ends up the same way.

I just kicked Satan's rear end with a combination of Guppy, Cancer, and a bunch of attack and fire rate boosts. Now I'm a little disappointed to go back in and risk getting, I dunno, Soy Milk+ My Reflection. And maybe I'll change my mind about this if I ever get Libra, but I'm bitter as poo poo at Soy Milk for ending a run when it made my shots too weak to take out Globins before they reformed.

So I didn't get plat god, but whoever suggested grinding out 40~ deaths with the lost to unlock the scissors had a point, so I did that. I got to the chest without guppy or the relic shield and died to a double adversary room. Either one of those and I definitely would've won. Also, I almost no hit the whole game, which is pretty cool I guess.

By the time I was on The Chest I had: Sharp Plug, Wafer, Blank Card, with the following cards: The Sun, Wheel of Fortune, Justice. So, infinite health to use sharp plug, infinite slot machines to blow up (producing one item each), infinite bombs to blow them up with. ...until I picked up Isaac's Heart. drat it!

So I managed to beat Isaac in the Cathedral, then I decided to see if I could beat It Lives on Hard with Isaac. Well, I got Curse of the Blind on Caves/Catacombs I, went into a Curse Room, and got that loving Dead Cat. I only made any progress because the next floor gave me Guppy's Paw. But no other Guppy Items so I couldn't turn into him. I did at least manage to kill It Lives and unlock Isaac's Head, but apparently the items you get for beating It Lives on Hard are useless in single player. Aside from Whore of Babylon, does anyone have any suggestions on what the Dead Cat is good for? EDIT: And The Lost.

Getting rid of excess red heart containers because spirit and black hearts are given out like candy. Using it with items like Suicide King. It's a much stronger pickup in this game than it was in flash Isaac.

I finally found a use for My Reflection! Rubber Cement and boomerang tears is an oddly great combination, it seems. Especially when you add the 3 Dollar Bill to it. I made it to Isaac with Samson and Isaac just melted in about 15 seconds flat.

I'm at 307/343 items on my file 2 collection page and have stll not picked up - Monstro's Tooth - Telepathy for Dummies - Leo - Bogo Bombs - Portable Slot Machine I understand not ever wanting to buy the latter two, but I wouldn't pass up Leo unless I had flight and wouldn't pass up the first two unless I had a better spacebar item. What the heck.

Real cool how taking that trapdoor teleports you to the same blackmarket ladder room with no way of getting out unless you take the next floor out. If you try to exit back to the level, it just teleports back to where you started.  I mean it's cool that this game is all about experimentation (altho it's a bug) but it blocked me from picking up the negative on this level and I couldnt go past Satan to the Dark Room which was the whole point of the run. Luckily Samson is easy to break the game as if you get any sort of self-damage item like portable blood bank.

It's freaking driving me nuts, i'm useless controlling the hairball... -The Hairball gets larger and more damaging as it hurts/kills enemies, and loses half its size when you go down a floor. It's worth skipping using Guppy's Head for a room or two to bulk it up to max size quickly. -ABC- Always Be Circling. Some enemies you can get away with just going back and forth to whip the hairball, but most of the time you'll want to spin around to hit them. Unless they're globins or other chasers, in which case you can just run away at their speed and let them hug the hairball. -Guppy's head is basically your worst attack item. If you get a chance, swap it out for Cricket's Head, the eight-way shot still works and clears out rooms much better. Also, buy batteries if you can, turning the head from once-per-room to autocharge will save your life. -Damage ups and BFF are both great. Anything that boosts your flies is key. -Orbitals and familiars let you turn the challenge into and easier Family Man/Solar System. It's still tedious but it's easier than playing the 'right' way. -If all else fails, pray for a Brimstone/Mom's Knife/Epic Fetus/possibly Dr. Fetus. They all ignore the blindfold and work normally.

Not sure about the others though. Just checked and the wiki confirms it, saying "It [the blindfold] also prevents attacks from other sources, such as Mom's Knife."

Bloody penny is probably cooler cause you'll be hovering around max money after a floor or two either way, with bloody penny you'll get almost infinite hearts. throw in d6 + sharp plug and you're real good to go.

I just had the weirdest thing happen. I'm trying to get a win streak where I play as all the characters (except The Lost) in a row. I started with Isaac, and became Guppy with homing Brimstone and every damage up. When I beat Blue Baby in about two seconds, let the ending cutscene load and exited out of the game by clicking the X up top (windowed mode). Later on, I sat down to play as Maggy, but I had the option to continue. It was weird, but it started me as Isaac on the Chest. This time I didn't even bother opening everything since I was powerful enough anyway, and continued through to Blue Baby and beat him again. When I hit escape and went to play as Maggy, I saw that my win streak was at two. It counted both times I beat Blue Baby as a win.

The only logic they programmed into the win streak is as follows: If your win streak is 0, beating the boss at the end of a path and touching the chest adds 1, dying subtracts 1. If your win streak is above 1, beating the boss adds 1, dying sets it back to 0. If it's 0 or below, dying subtracts 1. So I guess you accidentally cheesed it by beating the boss but not ending the game by going back to the main menu.
