I passed by a shop because I didn't have enough coins to justify using a key to open it (as is usually the case in Basement). In the very next room I found a The Hermit card and when I used it I was teleported back to the room adjacent to the shop instead of the shop itself. Is this a thing now? Does curse of the maze interfere with teleports or something?

What the hell? The shop keep just came to life and I had to do a greed battle! I have put an ABSURD amount of time into this game and have never had that happen before.

It's incredibly rare, but it can happen. I've seen it happen maybe 3 times in the hundreds of hours I've sunk into this game.

I've got 1001% and its happened to me exactly once. I think I blew up the shopkeeper and Greed was inside him, but I couldnt swear to that.

There's a tiny chance that the new coin-eyes shopkeepers can spawn a Greed boss if they are destroyed. In some rooms with shopkeepers, there's (troll)bomb spawns, but I guess one could break randomly. Like the rocks in certain rooms sometimes break for no reason when you enter.

I finally got all my red marks, so I went to do some of the leftover challenges. After 3, I haven't beaten one the 'proper' way.

Blue Bomber - Got Lazarus Rags and revived as Lazarus. A couple of HP ups later and I'm invincible.

Pong - got Rotten Baby, Guppy's Head, The Battery, Car Battery and Locust of Pestilence. Still almost hosed myself over - I went into Hush for laughs, and it turns his damage resistance really is the business - if his floor hadn't given me The Finger, Habit and Charged Baby despite Curse Of The Blind I would probably have been screwed.

Waka Waka - got Brimstone in a Devil Room. The Bloody Wormhole comes highly recommended.

Don't doubt yourself. I literally just beat it, finally. Took a Chaos Card across several floors, threw it at Mega Satan... and missed. Thankfully I muddled my way through the fight - only had 4.50 damage, but Holy Light, Lil' Brimstone and Revenge Fly made up for it.

I just remembered that Antibirth exists, but it looks like it hasn't updated since it came out? Has there been any news?

No activity from antibirth.com but i've heard rumors that they're working on backporting Afterbirth features into it. Although if there was active development going on I'd hope we at least get a bugfix update...

Kilburn burnt out on the project really hard since he's the only programmer and honestly he probably set his sights too high for this one patch, unfortunately.

I wish they'd just do a tiny update to fix some unreachable doors, fix the three un-unlockable items, and tone down the beep in The Mines' music.

E: Oh hey new tracks were added to the OST on Bandcamp, though: https://mudeth.bandcamp.com/releases

I have a computer that can properly run Antibirth now and it's really good.
I didn't figure out the puzzle in the Mines tho until after I'd already messed it up

It's good.

Only real downside is that it hasn't gotten the additional boosters packs like PC has (apparently it's supposed to get them at some point).

Time for some thrilling heroics.
I have it for PC PS4 and Switch. I prefer to play it on the switch because of the portability but I get significant slowdown pretty often. God forbid I get multishot of any sort with blood laser.

It's good though I just want the loving update.

I thought I'd seen that too, but I cant find it with a cursory search of the games news site I usually read, so maybe I'm wrong. Wasnt going to buy a physical edition anyway, I just want them to release ab+ on the PS4 already. There was an update a couple of weeks ago that added the afterbirth+ trophies, but the actual DLC still doesnt have a confirmed date that I've seen.

I'm struggling to find it anywhere, webstore or on console, New Games or New Add-Ons. Got a link?

E: Apparently the US blog only specified a physical release even though every other region has the digital? I can't say I'm surprised this happened.

I'm playing the PC version and I've got my second save slot finished except for apparently Once More with Feeling and Rerun, both of which I've met the criteria for but haven't unlocked. I remember having this problem before but I don't remember how I got around it on my first save.

Anyone know if there's any way (with either CE or mods or whatever) to trigger these?

I spent ages trying to get a missing poster, and suddenly just got one right next to a sacrifice room. Kind of feel like I didn't unlock the lost, I have no idea how i'm going to manage. I can play carefully as well as I can, but wtf can I do if I got into one of those tiny rooms with Krampus waiting for me :(.

Fuuuuck those rooms.

I guess the only advice I can give is that if one of those rooms comes early into the run then it's done with... If it comes late then hopefully you have enough DPS to kill him first.

Teleporting is extremely valuable as The Lost. If you've got Telepills or a Fool card or Broken Remote, etc. you can escape situations like that. Invincibility is also good, so keep an eye out for stuff like the Gamekid. Also don't be afraid to hold "r" until you get a good item right away. Still, sometimes you'll get in a bad situation and just die. That's just something you have to accept as The Lost.

Are the Greed Mode Greed Machine and the Greedier Mode Greed Machine the same machine; If I already unlocked everything in Greed Mode in Afterbirth, is there any point pumping coins into the machine when I beat Greedier mode in AB+?

Yeah, plus I forgot you can skip rooms if you have a bomb...But what do you mean when you say 'hold r'? I'm on a ps4, but does that mean you can have a better shot at a better item, or..?
