Got a good score in the new daily. Was originally beat Mega Satan as The Lost with the Holy Mantle, but found Lazarus's Rags (probably thanks to that Chaos item I got from a shop) and came back after dying to It Lives. The Stopwatch is in the 4th shop, and that made the run very easy, aside from that one mis-step in the Womb.

Highest score is over 46 Million points, someone figured out how to break the thing already.

My 4th floor shop was Greed. :(

This was rough, despite The Lost starting with the Holy Mantle. I got literally no items to increase damage other than the Curved Horn and Jar of Flies right before Mom. I made it all the way to Womb 2 though.

Do you get fewer coins for Greed Mode once you've already won? I used to get 19 coins for a nonstop clear on 8 waves, now I get 17. Or am I just seeing RNG variance?

It's not as readily available as the IV Bag used to be, but I got a Blank Card + 2 of Diamonds in Greed mode today. Use the reset machine until you end up with a battery on the market and it's almost like the good old times.

And praise Big Baby Jesus it was on a Sampson run.

I'm getting Luck Up from picking up coins. Which of my items are causing this?

I'm playing Samson and have Krampus's Head, Counterfeit Penny, Pageant Boy, Pentagram, Toothpicks, Cricket's Head, Ball of Bandages, Cancer, Small Rock.

I thought it might be the Counterfeit Penny proccing, but I tested it and it's not. And my Luck stat is increasing on the character screen.

Putting one cent in the greed box after finishing Greed mode unlocks lucky pennies, which sometimes replace coin drops.

I tried this game and it was like someone took the core concept of BoI, stripped out the fun stuff, ran it through a Hot Topic, and then compiled that into a game.

It has some issues, yeah, but I like that they tried different stuff even if they were taking something else's formula. Definitely not something everyone would like though.

He has two types of stomps. Those you mention are predictable and easily avoided. Other kind is completely random and does damage to you before the leg sprite even appears on the screen.

i lost one of my lives on my best mega satan The Lost run thanks to that, which is entirely unavoidable

So, the Tumor transformation has been fixed and is now a three directional shot, rather than just being a transformation version of The Wiz. Also, while a high rate of fire and shielded tears makes most of he Hush fight a joke the continuum tears are immune to shielded tears.

I think this is the best Samson's been as a playable character, especially if you can get Lusty Blood. He was the first card I fully filled out after Isaac, although that probably wouldn't have been Eden if I didn't burn all my Eden tokens loving around after getting Real Platinum God in Rebirth.

i won as the lost against hush by just standing still when the continuum tears were happening.

Yeah, I've found that standing still with the continuum tears works really well to avoid them. I was just surprised that shielded tears didn't work on them.

So if you get continuum and brimstone, does the brimstone wrap around infinitely until it dissipates?

Am I correct in thinking that the challenge conditions are now non-rerollable? I'm starting the Have a Heart challenge, found MissingNo early, but it's not taking away the Charm of the Vampire nor whatever resets my health every floor. I bought the Book of Belial from Satan and picked up a Sin Heart in the same room; next floor I'm back to a dozen empty heart containers but still had the Book.

I just played with him for the first time in the expansion and cleared the boss rush, hush and ??? in the same run. Got a little C.H.A.D who let me play like a maniac, polyphemus, the book of shadows, and a boatload of tear ups.

Interesting. Since I started a new save file, I don't have any challenges completed (and thus no runes unlocked). I expected the rune bag to do absolutely nothing as per Binding of Isaac tradition of the laziest solution being the chosen one, but actually they thought of that and it drops cards instead.

edit: Also, I was looking at a thread on the binding of isaac reddit and glanced at the sister site list so I could go to the modding site and

I suspect that's because of a different piece of laziness: Runes are considered cards.

Holy loving poo poo, do NOT pick up the red crosshair when you have IPECAC. Congratulations, you now have no way to stop firing your tears as you move a targeting cursor across the level. A red targeting cursor that is really damned easy to lose track of on the Womb.

Had a Charm of the Vampire run I nearly lost despite getting a rainbow plop early on due to hitting myself with my IPECAC shots.

None of them. In afterbirth some pennies are just "lucky pennies". You might have to unlock this somehow, but once you have it it's that way for good.

Tumor is cool, not every transformation has to be Guppy.

Which doesn't excuse the mushroom/syringe transformation :mad:
