Holy poo poo I just had the most OP Greed run as Isaac ever. First floor magic mushroom, re-rolled the item room into God Head, some random crap, grabbed Pupla Duplex from a shop and then re-rolled the caves devil deal into death's touch and well... yeah.

You didn't even need to move from the middle of the room because the halo reached both sides and was instant clearing everything.

Any tips for Greed mode as the Lost? It's the last thing I have to do with him to get Godhead. Holy Mantle doesn't refresh each wave, it's only if you leave and enter the room again right? Can the Lost press the button without dying?

Yes, the Lost is the only character who can press the button without getting hurt. You might get less money out of it, but it's a very safe way to play as him. If you reach Ultra Greed, you shouldn't have to worry as much. His attacks are fairly forgiving and there's lots of room to dodge.

Launch hosed up everyone's poo poo because the game is a buggy mess held together by glue and dreams.

After the first patch I tried importing again, but it was still broken and by the time another patch came out I did not feel like starting Afterbirth all over again.

Basically, I don't think they're joking when they say they are't game developers :v:

Wow, the Lost is insanely powerful compared to before with the starting Holy Mantle. I just need the mega satan mark, but in three separate runs today I got nothing but devil deals all the way through, and ALL THREE had a Brimstone available to taunt me in one of the devil deal rooms.

(Getting close to 1001%, just need Mega Satan on Lost and Hush/Mega Satan on Keeper, then four items - Censer, Sworn Protecter, Deep Pockets, and Mega Blast once I unlock it)

Yeah much like Rebirth's lost he needs a little more of an edge. But I think the idea is cool enough to build on.

So in order to make angel rooms possible, you have to leave a devil room without buying anything. What if you get snatched by a mom hand before you buy anything? Does that count?

You don't even need to enter the Devil Room.

Angel requirements are just:
* Seen a Devil Room door spawn at least once
* Has not payed for an item with hearts.

Do you guys really give it a try every run? I just hold r until I'm next to an item room that has something good in it. It only takes 2-3 minutes.

Just beat Mega Satan with The Lost and did the same with Ultra Greed and Hush earlier today so that's his post-it completed. He's legitimately fun starting with Holy Mantle, it's weird. I lost a couple of really promising runs leading up to the win but it never really got frustrating. He remains challenging but so much more fair.

Now I only have Keeper and Lilith to finish up.

Cool, the 2 of Hearts will still heal the Keeper despite him not using hearts for health.

You just can't buy anything with hearts. You can enter Devil rooms and open red chests(even take items from them) without any penalty.

You can even bring the credit card into a Devil room, use it and collect the items for free, just as long as you haven't paid for them with hearts.

I had one super stressful Keeper run where I accidentally took health down and managed to somehow make it to the next HP up item, twitching nervously all the way.

On the other hand, I had a great Keeper run due to 9 Lives from a devil deal combined with health up pills (no PHD). Also, health down becomes health up when you only have one heart container, so I think its a good idea to take unidentified pills after a devil deal or when a health upgrade is available on that floor.

Trying to find out what the Golden Horse Shoe atually does and i'm still none the wiser. I went through an entire run to the Chest without it triggering even once.
I just know that it does something with a 15% chance (30% w/ Mom's Box). Which is good to know, i guess, cause i was almost suspecting Ed just included a good old-fashioned superstition trinket that does nothing.

Hmm, did you interact with any slot machines or fortune tellers? Blood banks? Does it stack with the effects of Lucky Foot in the code? The description would lead me to believe that it affects chance based stuff somehow.

What's the easiest way to grab remaining angel room items for my collection page? I have everything unlocked, just missing 2 angel room items for 1001%. Would it be easiest to play greed mode with Isaac, reroll angel room items (including key pieces) with the D6 and try to get an infinite recharge setup?

There was one in the early days of Rebirth but gently caress if I know where it is and it probably doesn't work with Afterbirth.

Just check your secrets/item page against one online.

My favourite thing back in Wrath of the Lamb era isaac was this website that had every single item and what they did in tiny text all around the page, with a blank area in the middle where you put the game window and you had that site all around the game window the entire time you played. This became impossible to do with more editions with more items obviously, but does anyone remember what that site was called?

Edit: Found it. This site was really cool back in the day: http://isaacscheatsheet.pw/

If I could just get an overlay with the different dice room numbers and what they do (I can only ever remember 1, 5, and 6) and what Pandora's Box pays out with for each floor then I'd be fine.

Despite getting two Guppy pieces on floor one, and then never seeing but a single devil room, and then being a righteous IDIOT and taking Monstro's Lung + My Reflection + IPECAC, I somehow managed to win the daily anyways thanks to spiders, succubus, and some orbitals, plus Guppy in Sheol when dead cat got shat out of a box right before Satan.

Double Teratoma in the Dark Room ended my Keeper Epic Fetus/Mom's Knife/Swallowed Penny run. Just couldn't dodge all those spiders in time. :( In hindsight I should've completely neglected Epic Fetus for the room and just let Revenge Fly do its thing while focusing on picking up a coin every time I got hit, trying to do both messed me up. At least I got the Hush and Satan marks; this was the quickest Hush kill I've had for sure.

Almost every boss item in today's daily was a rotten meat which I couldn't reroll, did this happen to everyone or was this just some odd bug I ran into? Still won, but what was more annoying was getting barely any devil deals to use that hp on.

In the Flash game it did. It rigged the item room pool by adding 6 copies of Mr. Mega and Bobby Bomb so you would be more likely to run into them. I don't think it does that in Afterbirth, so you may have just gotten lucky.

It did for 100% sure in the original Isaac, I remember that. Probably does in this one too, so yes.

Mostly sounds like my run, but I skipped Reflection and never rerolled anything into Monstro's lung. Did end up with Tiny Planet though. I did however reroll Guppy in Sheol and ended up with D100. No idea all what I had after that, but it sure was pretty.

Yep, same. Also got some weird trinket duplication effect/bug, many multiplies of a trinket I had were being dropped left and right.

I don't have him unlocked because SOMEONE decided to change unlock methods without telling us, and when I hit 879 it told me he has the Mantle.

Basically if something required any kind of forethought on their part, they didn't take care of it. :v:
