They can, but if you get unlucky and it opens on one of the side walls instead of the far one, it'll spawn where it normally would in a regular sized room and be inside the wall. :v:

Eh, as far as I can tell the new items aren't anything you can't live without. And if you're just being a completionist, well, I think cheating would kinda defeat the purpose of being a completionist

Forcing a start with Holy Mantle or 9 Lives seems just as completionisty as holding R for an hour until you get one of those. The only things I have left to do with The Lost are Mega Satan and the new boss. Greed mode was easy once I knew how to break it.

Speaking of which (upcoming content spoilers) It's been discovered that the Holy Mantle and Razor Blade are starting items for someone. The Lost has a conspicuous empty slot about the text where it says where he starts with the D4. Maybe Edmund finally caved and lets you unlock the Holy Mantle for him? No idea who the Razor Blade would be for. Maybe one of the new characters that has been discovered.

Razor blade is probably the would-be starting item for Eve since you unlock it by beating mom's heart/it lives Satan with her.

Richard Hammer and CobaltStreak have done all The Lost runs on hard mode though and I haven't seen the game say he starts with anything besides the D4. I guess there could be more to it, but it could just as easily be tied to something else or just to an idea they scrapped maybe? I dunno.

When I was working on a mod for this, I wanted to have him start with God Head since you'd have to unlock it first and it is a really good item.

Also hey, I discovered a somewhat useful bug that's pretty easy to pull off.

In Greed Mode (and presumably in the regular game if you have the restock item and an item shuffle machine) if you bomb the shuffle machine at the same time that you pick up an item, all of the items will shuffle into the type of item you buy.

For example, buying a 15 coin item at the same time that your bomb detonates on the shuffle machine will make each item spawn as a 15 coin item. I didn't get a chance to try this on a sale item to see if that would make them all spawn as 7 coin items. This will then persist until you leave the room and use the shuffle machine again.

Here's a couple of screenshots.





One side effect of doing this is that two items would spawn in one shop slot after you bought something. I was dumb and didn't see if you can just buy both items but I'll check it out later.

E: Just confirmed you don't get both items when they get stacked on top of each other and that sales don't persist when you do this.

Eh, that was more me being an rear end than a serious guess. I could just see Edmund him getting pissy about people scumming for the Holy Mantle and The Lost automatically getting it once he had nothing left to unlock as a sort of gently caress you.

I had a rather awesome run on I Rule, with two Steam Sales and the item that restocks the shop. I didn't pick up a polaroid after killing Mom, thinking I could finish the challenge early... and didn't get credit for completing it after killing Isaac. :confused:

Is there a reason why we're putting Hush in spoiler tags? Like the name itself doesn't really imply much about the boss unlike most of the other end bosses, and pretty much every post doesn't spoiler the context clues that it is a boss.

Christ the butt-hurt from some in this thread is ridiculous.

Those who continually bitch about Edmund being so mad about The Lost that he's specifically scewing over the BOI community are being ridiculously petulant. He has also said all the content is in the game so stop acting like a poor little victim and sack up. You complain that Edmund got upset about people cracking Rebirth secrets so fast yet here you are, days after Afterbirth release and crying because the content hasn't been dropped in your lap.

All the other posts are great and for a newbie I hope I understand half of them someday...

Nobody complained about him flipping out over The Lost. Nobody is complaining because "content hasn't been dropped in your lap". People are complaining because half the game they bought is literally impossible to play until Edmund says so. Even if it's "in the game" it's behind so many layers of convoluted bullshit that the point's moot until he stops being a smug rear end in a top hat.

There's a middle ground between " WHY CAN'T I PRESS BUTTON TO UNLOCK EVERYTHING" and "YOU SOLVED MY PUZZLE TOO QUICKLY, gently caress YOU NOBODY GETS TO PLAY NOW".

Thus the conspiracy about Edmund hiding the content away until he deems it necessary to release. Based off... nothing other than the fact you don't have the content yet. Thus: butt-hurt.
Apparently it's impossible that it's a legitimate secret. No no, it's because Edmund is a "smug rear end in a top hat."

Nevermind the fact he's literally said the content is in the game. Nevermind the fact he is releasing hints at how to reach the content. Nevermind the fact that Reddit appears to be on it's way to solviong the mystery.

Nah. Let's call Edmund names.

Apparently the items might technically be in the game, but you have to assemble the items through the code yourself. At least according to that mod subreddit. But the data miners are actually still plinking away at the code.

It's not really the challenge itself that's bad, it's actually pretty easy. It's that not much thought was put into it. Some enemies are immune to Kamikaze explosions, and in some rooms you can't reach all the enemies because part of the floors are missing. Now normally you can bomb open the doors if the room is impossible to complete, unless it's a boss door. Which can't be bombed open. Unlucky layouts like that are kind of what stops people.

Another absurd Greed run down, kept getting 'One makes you small' pills so ended up about 5px tall with tears half the size of the screen. Ultra Greed only survived the first salvo because there seems to be some sort of cap on initial burst damage, then he instantly died when he stopped spinning.

I hope I get chance to go through all the characters like this in Greed mode before Ed nerfs it to oblivion...
