Maybe to unlock The Lost, you need to die in a sacrifice room with the Missing Poster? If the puzzle quest is gone, there's no reason for the puzzle pieces to be around anymore, and that could just be the new unlock method.

Do you mean it unlocked him, or that it turned you into him? If it's the latter, it always does that

If you die with it in the sacrifice room you respawn as lost and you get a splash saying you unlocked him.

Huh, so that means the sacrifice room now has exactly one use. This was a good patch!

You know, Edmund agreed with the community that Sacrifice rooms were worthless and said that he would change them. Whatever happened with that? Like Curse Rooms have chances of containing neat items. Sacrifice rooms gets you a chest at best.

nerdbot posted:So it does stack if you get two of the same item with Diplopia? I tried this on two Jesus Juice boxes early on but then I immediately got Ipecac before I could start damaging anything and how much damage I was doing immediately stopped mattering. Don't know if it stacks, but I was doing huge damage. Basic enemies just died from one touch of the Az blast, and Isaac /blue baby died in 3~4 blasts. I'm not very familiar with sacred heart though, so I don't know what kind of damage to expect from it. Seems worth testing. Diplopia could be amazing

I don't even know what the lost is but I guess I'll watch out for that poster. I've only recently started wikiing trinkets though. It's kind of fun having no idea whats going on the first few playthroughs but I've beaten greed and hardmode each with isaac and cain a few times so I guess I should start looking for ways to get new stuff.

Best way to deal with lost is to download a save that has everything from rebirth unlocked and has real platinum god. Then you can just do the fun stuff in afterbirth.

Nevvy Z posted:I don't even know what the lost is but I guess I'll watch out for that poster. The Lost is a super secret super hard challenge mode character that dies in one hit, meant to be hidden for months but got discovered pretty quickly after release. If you get the opportunity you should unlock him because the missing poster is fairly rare, but definitely no need to prioritize him.

ErIog posted:Wooden Nickel is garbage because it can fail. Swallowed Penny is way better, but watch for them to nerf that the same way they nerfed Piggy Bank on Keeper. Playing with Swallowed Penny is actually really fun since you can survive if you can find a way to get back to the coin you dropped without getting hit. It's like if The Lost wasn't bullshit. i found out the hard way that piggy bank was nerfed somehow.... the fact that it was only dropping a coin every 3 gorillion hits kinda made it obvious still works nicely if combined with IV bag, though.

Why not just take out the jamming mechanic if you're gonna be that generous with it? It seems pretty counter intuitive to GREED Mode.

In my quest for Mom's Box to get the Missing Poster I've found a fun infinite damage (to yourself) combo. Curse of the tower, sad bombs, and ipecac with some large tears will keep comboing the curse of the tower effect and destroy you.

I think I'm having my best Greed run yet. By the end of floor 2 I had Guppy, Steam sale, Chaos, Pentagram, PHD, Cricket's Head, Soul of the Night and the Nail. Watch the Greed machine jam at the first coin at the end. EDIT: Jammed after 50 coins. This patch makes it a hell of a lot less grindy.

Holy Water and the Milk are pretty worthless. Even if they worked everytime you got hit instead of once per room they'd be terrible.

Milk actually gives a pretty decent Tears Up for the room when you get hit.

Milk seems to bypass the tear rate limit like the Cancer trinket so it's pretty powerful (unless you're Lost, gently caress on-get-hit items).

Sucks that the Piggy Bank got nerfed, but the Fanny Pack still pays out well. I used up all of my bombs after killing Ultra Greed and managed to get a few nickles.

the Orb of Zot posted:So why did the lost unlock need changing? The Lost unlock method was stupid as gently caress and should have been changed ages ago. This one was a very, very good change. The only real reason to complain is that no one told us so everyone was trying to unlock him the old way still. It's almost like...we could use some patch notes...

The Keeper is worse. Lower speed, no flight and 2 hits with healing vs 2 hits every room means he's much less survivable. Not being able to take devil deals is the icing on the cake.
