Once again I get the combo of Pyromania and Bomber Boy early and spend the rest of the game blowing poo poo up. I found a golden bomb in the first room of the Cathedral and didn't shoot a single tear as I cleared the rest of the map. I also finally built a legit Super Meat Boy without Death being replaced by loving Conquest.

Power of Pecota posted:Okay so here's a loadout of what I have on a Keeper run where I really thought I'd be able to do Hush - for some reason picking up Ipecac on top of Dr. Fetus didn't give me Bob's Rotten Head bombs that detonate on contact like it did the last time I got those two items, and my shots are now just Kamikaze effects? Sounds like they didn't fix that bug. Okay, so here's the thing. There's a bug where Ipecac shots will explode if they hit each other. Which can happen if your tears get too big (or picked up Dr. Fetus) and you picked up the Inner Eye, Mutant Spider, or are playing as Keeper. Yeah, unfortunately you're gonna have to hope that you can pick up those coins in time.

Is there any functional difference between Hush/Greed having armor and just having insane HP? Because god I hate Hush so much.

I should really stop picking up My Reflection. It's never a good idea.

I like you, D100. I really do. But this is now the third time that you've given me Ipecac + Marked + My Reflection + Tractor Beam I don't think we can be together anymore

The armor means they are still killable if you have poo poo damage, where as insane hp would make them still just as ridiculously tanky for good runs, but basically impossible on bad runs.

Hush has both armor and obnoxiously large HP. That fight outstays its welcome so badly.

Just had a Lilith run with the first item being Host Hat and the second one was Epic Fetus. A lot of fun ensued, with Hush, the Lamb and Mega Satan being defeated. Also Curse of the Tower, Bob's Curse and No. 2 helped a great deal.

Had an interesting Eden run. Ran into Cursed Eye, but I didn't get teleported away when I got hit for some reason, so when I later became Guppy with Mutant Spider enemies melted away. Maybe Black Candle nullifies the teleport effect now?

The Keeper is actually a fun challenge on Greed mode. Any strong tears up like Skinny Odd Mushroom makes him shoot super fast, so I was shredding everything. Having Penny Tears made the Ultra Greed fight super tense though since he could heal from the pennies dropping just as I could.

I could swear I got hit during the charge, but memory is fallible and I did have a lot of tear ups. Oh well, was still cool as hell hitting poo poo with 16 bullets followed by 16 flies.

Yeah, I just tested it and Black Candle does remove the teleport penalty of Cursed Eye in Afterbirth. There's also video proof someone made.

The only other Cursed items would be Curse of the Tower, and nullifying the effects of that item would make it completely pointless. And the other 2 are trinkets, Cracked Dice and Cursed Skull, which can be dropped. So I doubt it affects any of those, but I'll try testing that when I have time.

All I pretty much have left is beating Mega Satan with a most of the characters, but god it is such a slog trying to get Angel rooms, or get lucky and find dad's key/get out of jail free card. There is nothing worse than getting one key piece and then never seeing another angel room.

If you get Mom's Knife and Loki's horns, you get three knives pointing at the angles 90, 180, and 270 degrees from the main one which sometimes fire when you fire the main one. If you have a controller, you can spin the stick around really fast to turn yourself into a whirling sawblade of doom that chews through bosses in seconds.

Conversely, all I have left is picking up Mega Blast from a devil room, and I keep bitching about how I get too many angel rooms.  (Seriously though, exit game, continue, angel statue will reappear and you can get both key pieces from the same room.)

Keeper run gives me Swallowed Penny and Stopwatch along with scythes and such so I think I'm pretty much sorted. Turns out that boss drop was Abaddon and not Pentagram so I dropped stone dead when I grabbed it.

(The Devil Room nerfs probably had something to do with that too.  ) Kinda wish you could just go to them from the start or something, because you're more likely to run into something good from a Devil Room, which locks you out of Angel Rooms for the rest of the run.

AbDomen posted:Conversely, all I have left is picking up Mega Blast from a devil room, and I keep bitching about how I get too many angel rooms. Sonuvabitch, does that really work? I never thought to try it. Also are angel rooms even less likely to have an item now? I feel like since they added a few new things that can spawn in there instead, like 8 times out of 10 there is no pedestal item.

You're less likely to find a useful one compared to Logan 5 posted:Sonuvabitch, does that really work? I never thought to try it.  Personally, I've been lucking out. I've seen Sacred Heart, Godhead, and some other good items in there a few times.

Dr. Fetus posted:Oh wow, sorry about that. Yeah, that sucks. Speaking of lovely new AB stuff, is it me or are buttons just really loving useless? At best I get like a bomb or a coin, but they tend to be negative WAY more often and the negative effects tend to be significantly worse. I had a button spawn like 2-3 lil horns at once, and lately I just treat them like sacrifice rooms.

Rorus Raz posted:I'm glad they nerfed Devil Rooms a bit because Angel Rooms were almost worthless except for Mega Satan runs, but I really wished they had revamped how the two rooms worked. Because skipping a Devil Room and having to avoid taking red heart damage a second time, only to get an eternal heart is loving terrible. Or better yet, the new Afterbirth rooms like six pennies or two of the lovely eternal chests. The buttons would be a lot more annoying if you couldn't just press them and leave if you get enemies of some variety, in secret rooms/error rooms at least.
