Welp,





Thank gently caress for this. 158 hours, a good percentage of which was spent trying to get SMB/SBG.

I really think Edmund needs to make Conquest have a much lower chance of spawning, since I had to spend a good half an hour farming the Monster Manual to get a full one of either. I managed to get The Lost, beat everything on Hard and find Godhead etc way before I managed to get those two, and even then I had to cheese it.

Not true. I have only killed ??? and have yet to face the Lamb but I have fought an angel statue.

Better than a crowbar.
So I just got some sort of item combination that made me heal red hearts at nearly every frame while i was being hit with an earthquake rock type attack. Considering I had 8 red heart tanks in reserve for the first time in forever, this completely trivialized the chest, and actually made me want to encounter the double Adversary rooms.

It was probably Pyromaniac. There's a lot of weird attacks that are actually considered by the game to be explosion damage even though they don't look like it. Mom's Foot and Satan's Foot are usually where people first notice it.

Can confirm that Pyromania procs on the earthquake rock attack thing. It procs it absurdly fast too since you get healed for as long as you're in contact with it.

I've played Rebirth for hundreds of hours and still haven't gotten a Meat Boy/Bandage Girl without doing the D6 + Sharp Plug + Monster Manual method. I've tried for one every time I've started with a Book of Revelations unless I was playing the Lost.

Yeah, the message about "The Angels are waiting" appeared after I beat ???, but I wanted to take out the Lamb before challenging Mega Satan anyway. Which I did last night with Samson.

Also, I managed to assemble Bandage Girl when I played with Eve and the Book of Revelations. I thought I lucked out, but turns out I hadn't unlocked Conquest yet. And now that I have, wish me luck on Meat Boy.

I'm at 400h but I earned meat boy by just spontaneously having an eden run with cube of meat + book of revelations as my starting items. Got 5th level cube of meat because I somehow had death instead of conquest on the womb, not sure how because I otherwise see conquest 100% of the time and death 0% of the time. I even get triachnid on RARE occasions, but a non-chest death bossfight? Never!... except that one time. Cheesed bandage girl with the cancer+sharp plug+pyro+monster manuel, then got it the 'proper' RNG way on a completely random run.

Is it possible to have both a cube of meat and bandage girl item?

I don't think so. Seems like a run will always stick you with one or the other, which is nice for making it a lot less frustrating.

Yeah I don't believe so. Thinking back, I've seen completed meat boy + another cube of meat but not meat + bandages combinations (outside of monster manual cheese of course)

I've definitely done it closer to when the game came out. I'm wondering if one of the patches made it so that you only get one or the other each run.

I have only seen one of them turn up in a run for some time, so either they patched it or I've been getting a whole bunch of false positives and should start playing the lottery. Can't seem to find it in the changelogs though.

It was also possible on PC but it was probably patched, and PS4 is behind the curve with updates.

I just figured it was a neat function, no item does that yet, and it seemed thematically related to the champion belt- force all the challenge rooms (Maybe boss rush too?) to stay open, small +pwr boost, but increase difficulty.

Expansion pack should have a Red Champion Dingle who drops Red Poops and a Green Champion Dingle who's only move is the triple charge, just for the sheer rage potential it would cause.

yeah, ziggurat and nuclear throne are pretty my go-to's other than isaac for games like these. they both have really tight controls.

Question about forget-me-now: if I use it on basement 1, will I still have a greatly decreased deal with the devil chance after I beat the boss again? Or does the regenerated floor count as a second floor with regular devil deal chances? Also, if I had just taken a devil deal on a floor, will forget-me-now give the regenerated floor a decreased devil deal chance (because I had just taken one), or does it consider the regenerated floor as having identical chances for devil deals (damage taken notwithstanding)?

May be a patch issue (still on loving 1.01 in EU) but this is my experience on PS4 also. I've had 3 runs with book of rev on the first floor now and every time I ended up with one lvl3 meatboy/bandage girl and one lvl1 of the other.

Conquest is glitched, he can show up from the beginning even if he hasn't officially been unlocked yet. Unless this got fixed, but I haven't heard anything about that.

I just unintentionally did a really pro move with bob's brain early in a run as Judas. Fighting super gluttony, in the layout where you can't actually get to him or his drops. Bummer. Except, my final hit was him in the corner by bob's brain and it... i guess pooped out the lard drop onto the other side. Free 2 hp woohoo!
