Echoing the sentiment of 'when the game wants you to win, it -really- wants you to win.'

I just had a Cain run where I got triple shot, Polyphemus, rubber cement, and enough damage and tears bonuses that I was just a machine gun of rubber death bullets killing almost all bosses in less than a second or two.

Then boss rush gives me infestation shot 2, and to top it off I got guppy on the first womb floor.

Coincidentally, this was also the first run I managed to kill Mega Satan :v:

One lucky reroll in an angel room (after killing the statue) netted me The Soul and Godhead simultaneously. Now all I lack is Sacred Heart for RPG. It's going to drive me crazy I bet.

That was a fun run. I'm sure you can get even more ridiculous damage with the D6. Too bad Undefined didn't loop me through the Chest.

I used to get Missing Page 2 and Contract from Below mixed up, personally. The Pact was a carryover from the original so I never had any trouble with it.

I can recognize the Contract From Below because it has "ISAAC" written on it. And I want to blame the Contract From Below for mixing up the other two, because I'm a blame-shifting coward but also because I forget Missing Page 2 even exists. So when I see Satan offering a scrap of paper that doesn't have "ISAAC" written on it, I think "Well, it's not the Contract From Below, so it must be the Pact! Oh, poo poo..."

My god, it's full of cat!


After two or three times of picking up Missing Page 2 thinking it's Contract From Below I have learned to recognise it when it pops up.

Also I hate myself and started playing with The Lost. After about 100 runs (which included a pretty decent dead cat+infestation 2+cat mode run where I managed to get through It Lives and died in Sheol to a Cage encounter) I found the stopwatch in basement 2, firerate odd mushroom and then brimstone in a devil deal I managed to get through the boss rush, found the dead cat in the womb I devil deal and killed Isaac and ???. I have to say, it's not as bad as I expected it to be, quickly going through various basements and cellars is pretty cool and I like having near-guaranteed devil deals after the first floor.

The Pact is also a different color.

Now all I need to do for Real Platinum God is make a level four Meat Boy/Bandage Girl and pick up the Super Bandage. The Lost was more fun that this poo poo. At least that was skill based instead of complete luck. Maybe it'd be better if the first cube/ball you found locked the rest of the Horsemen drops into that specific one, or if setting up infinite rerolls was more likely to occur.

...But it does? If one horseman drops Cube of Meat, you shouldn't get Ball of Bandages later.

Here's an interesting thing about Midas Touch. Its damage actually scales with the amount of money you have. 1 coin is equal to 1 point of damage.

I think they patched it to force only getting the same item recently. If you are on the ps4 or vita versions you may still have the problem.

Tiny Planet + My Reflection is possibly the worst interaction I've ever seen. If you're not moving, the tears circle around behind Isaac and just stop in the air.

Luckily I just have to survive two rooms with this crap to recharge the D4.

It can be amazing/amusing with proper setup (mostly piercing/homing shots).

Does Midas Touch work with orbitals? I think giving orbitals the ability to have some of the effects tears have, but they at least should get the upon-touch effects.

I can't even get Isaac to die to a Mulliboom to even begin unlocking the Lost.

They're so rare and either die as soon you enter a room or corner you almost immediately.

I've done it like twice, but died as Judas and I'm like at -50 just trying to unlock the character. Goddamnit.

It's amazing with coal, especially with piercing shots. You shoot a bit and let a few giant shots build up behind you then swing them around you and destroy everything. They control a little bit like guppys's hairball but with much bigger range and damage.

And make sure you slam directly into Satan as Azazel, just to be safe. You're supposed to be able to die to his sphere shots (but not his Brimstone beam), but for some reason that didn't work for both myself and somebody else here.

I just had the best/worst Eden run ever. I started with Quad shot and the D6. First floor had tooth shot and cricket's head. Next floor had Monstro's lung. It took forever to charge any shots, but would only take 2-3 charges to wipe a room. Devil room had Krampus for coal. Next floor had Eve's Mascara in the item room, and I got Godhead and Sacred Heart in next two Angel rooms. However, it took 15 seconds to charge my shot. I counted. I could one shot any boss, but if the room had multiple spiders in opposite ends of the room, it would take at least 30 seconds to clear. I eventually found Sad bombs and kept my shot charged, but just used bombs to clear rooms. There was not a single tears up the entire game, outside of the Halo. It was one of the most powerful, but most annoying run ever.
