A Boney would be a really good enemy for that, if their AI doesn't get touched in Afterbirth.

If you can't capture a boss after weakening them there's no point.

The new character actually has literally no health, so you always die on the starting screen.IronicDongz posted:I'm sure some people actually think that. They're free to go back to Flash Isaac. Is that developer for the flash game still working on his silly update?

I do wonder how the new items will have any affect on The Lost. They could either make the character a lot easier or a lot worse, it just depends on what they end up doing since The Lost already has problems with the item pool having too many items that are useless for it. But hey, I'm done with The Lost so I can just be excited for new content without reservation.

You won't be done with the Lost when Afterbirth adds more stuff that you need to kill with every character.

Just started playing this and managed to unlock Azazel (who makes the runs trivial since he can just fly over everything, and getting that item that turns his attack into a ring of death that can be moved around the screen with the right stick makes it even more trivial), but what's all this talk about Mega Satan and stuff? Every run I do sends me straight to Mom and ending credits.

Are there any in-game prompts/clues, or am I going to have to look up an FAQ/walkthrough to discover them, or will they pop up as I unlock other characters?

Most everything comes from just playing more. You unlock more end bosses and later floors by beating the bosses more, and you unlock characters through various gameplay methods. Just beat Mom more, then start beating the boss after that, then start beating the bosses after that, etc etc.

I really disagree that the Lost isn't fun at all, the problem is that there's just so many useless items for him that getting anything going is such a pain in the rear end. But when I was able to get one going I found it to be possibly the most fun I had in the game. Every room was so intense even if you were powered up cause one wrong move and you're dead. And I'm the type of player who makes lots of dumb errors. But a lot of it is just trying in vain to get items that are actually useful and to me that's the unfun part of the lost.

Is there any point to seeds other than just loving around? Did a few runs with "C0CK FGHT" for the hell of it just to watch everything going nuts killing each other (which was pretty funny in any boss fight rooms with multiple bodies) but don't really see much point to the seeds beyond that. Also, what is the point of the donation box? Got "Store Upgraded to level 1" but haven't seen any real benefits yet.

You can play the same seed with a friend to see what you both do differently with the same scenario. The store gets bigger and gets more items as you donate more.

You have to get to 999 coins donated to unlock a load of items. Also it upgrades the shop every now and then which expands the amount/quality of items you can buy. Just be sure to bomb the machine immediately after it gets to 999 because if you donate your 1000th coin, it rolls over to 0 and you have nothing left

Just put money as you play, if you do something like 5 coins per run or if you dedicate yourself to donating your wallet down to 10 coins per floor you'll get there in no time.

If you're like me and don't play on PC, you'll want this Android app to help you out. I hate using my laptop to check items but this has been a huge help. Additionally, getting Tammy's Head as the first item on an Azazel run makes the whole thing go super quick. Still died to Mega Satan though...

The Lost would be fun if there weren't so many items useless to him and the game was fair. Daddy Longlegs, I'm looking at you. His loving randomstomp hurts you before the sprite is even visible on the screen.

His loving randomstomp hurts you before the sprite is even visible on the screen. I think he'd be way better if he started stronger. Everything takes forever to kill and you have to play extremely conservatively because you aren't allowed to get hit. You'd also not need as much to get started, so the load of health items that he can't use wouldn't be such a drag. Does he have the Goat's Head effect by default? I honestly don't remember. If he doesn't, he should.

I'd be okay with keeping the entire item pool if he got some benefit out of items he couldn't use. Blue Baby can't get health containers but he still benefits. Maybe allow every permanent health up you get to give you one unreplenishable hit, like a mini Holy Mantle or something.

The Lost would be better if he was removed from the game. Binding of Issac is not a game where "die in one hit" works as a gimmick.

That way early levels are still pretty much one hit deaths, but if you play well enough you can build up a few heart buffer for the later levels.

Savior Mod is a thing. It adds/replaces a lot of stuff; new characters, new rooms, mini-shops, new places to take devil deals, boss rooms have hazards. It's a little rough around the edges, but it's pretty fun until the real expansion drops. The redesigned boss in the Dark Room is now a double room with The Lamb, Mom, and Mom's Heart Edit: New characters own, they feel like Challenge runs but with item rooms, and the replacement for The Lost is amazing. He starts with Lord of the Pit, Holy Mantle, Dad's Key, and Stigmata i.e. actual compensation for the whole 0 HP thing. Soho Joe fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Apr 9, 2015 |
