Looking forward to the new soundtrack. Mudeth hasn't played Repentance so he could do a blind playthrough after he finished the AB+ era soundtrack and will work on that later. So the Repentance content will still be using the Ridiculon tracks with the mod once that's up.

That’s ok there’s no Mudeth for Repentance content. If I give Ridiculon anything, it’s that they beat Mudeth and Danny both with Living In The Light.

Jesus chrysler, Tainted Eden. I was having an extremely solid run, decided "What the hell" and went after Hush. I managed to get him to less than half his health when a stray bullet hit me: I had Shard of Glass.
GG, see you soon.

I liked the glitch challenge myself. I mean, yeah, it's totally random and mostly about finding broken active items, but lots of funny stuff can happen. My winning run I had an infinite use eraser, so eventually enemies just stopped showing up.


Also enjoying coop a lot, but hope it gets a patch or a mod to clean up some of the coop issues. A player dying right before the ascent feels real bad, because there's no bosses from that point on so you never get any coop revivals. Dogma doesn't res the other player before The Beast, either. Not to mention the coop ghosts not being able to fly for that part and making constant pain noises in the lava. There's a bunch of situations where where you'll only get one boss item too, like if you pick up an active and drop your current one (or tainted cain nukes one) then there aren't any more boss items to pass out. And good luck getting controllers bound to all the players again if you have to save/continue a run due to a crash or something.

In this world it's pet or BE pet.

While I don't really like most of Ridiculon's earlier Isaac tracks, especially when they didn't even try to be music like womb/depths, I have to admit most of the Repentance stuff is great. I'm still looking forward to smashing a finished Mudeth OST overtop most of it.

I have almost no unlocks on keeper, so I was just trying to do a regular run to the chest. Finally got a really good run going.

I walked into a room and instantly get pinched by a couple of those slidy spike blocks. I'm not sure if they were the ones who just follow walls, or the ones who move semi-randomly towards you, but within a second of walking in the room, 2 of them had me trapped in a corner and I couldn't push out and died. This game is so frustrating sometimes.

Rubber Cement

YEP! There we go!



It's Lachryphagy + Rubber Cement. When you attack an enemy, any lachryphagy rubber cement tears that are onscreen all apply their damage at once to an enemy. Despite normally not having walls, the Mega Satan Room does have them apply if you use Rubber Cement. And rubber cement tears can create a big feedback loop where they feed lacryphagy tears, that creates a lot of tears on screen that technically slam the enemy with damage.

It's not even just in the Mega Stan Room, this interaction works anywhere in the game. But it's a lot harder to pull off in 2x2 rooms due to the bigger spaces there, but you can still basically instagib enemies or just slam a lot of damage with it. I think it's an error with how Lachrypahgy is calculating damage. Instead of only counting the damage of fed tears, it's counting the damage of all tears on screen. By itself the item's damage calculations seem to work properly, but certain interactions end up causing all tears onscreen to be applied.

I'm never going to have an Azazel run like that again. With enough damage-ups, even Dogma and the Ultra Harbingers melt.

I'm sad the Beelzebub transformation doesn't turn U-Famine and U-Pestilence's flies against them, and that the super-pooters I brought into the fight with me spent the entire battle bathing in the lake of blood.

Also TIL if you went through the alt chapter 1 or 2 on your way down, they add a new layer to the Ascent music that's not there normally. That's pretty cool.

A future where we can have both Gehenna and Tandava blasting out within the same game is a good one----I want to say there was at least one (new from that update?) track from Bumbo that would've been a fine fit for Isaac but it escapes me.

I just had a very fun run with Tainted Forgotten. First treasure room gave me Akeldama, so every time I threw the skeleton it also left behind a jump rope of death. Sadly, I mistimed my throws while fighting Mom's heart and got destroyed by an eye laser.

Shaped like a friend

Honest question but do people just not know that Tainted Blue Baby has status effects on demand or is it just a choice not to take advantage of it when possible?

If you leave a trail of creep it boosts your damage and fire rate, but if you drop a special poop on the creep the entire trail gets mega buffed.
Holy Ground = Free Sacred Heart shots
Poison = Poison shots
Fire = Fire Mind shots

If the poop gets destroyed then the creep loses it's status effect, unless you throw stone onto it. Stone maintains the status(s) even if the holy ground or whatever gets smashed.

Wait what the poo poo? :catstare: Holy poo poo that makes the creep poop even better! And I didn't realize how powerful the stone poop was.

Wow that puts the Birthright effect into more context. Way more opportunities to fish for good poop combos like milling a deck of cards, instead of just hunting for specific poops to hurl.

Greetings Earthling! Do you have any Zoom Boots?
Just had an impressive run - I picked up a bunch of stuff but the key items seemed to be brimstone (picked it up by accident), then kidney stone and then mom's knife.

Kidney stone + brim didn't seem to do much. When I added mom's knife though, every time I attacked, I would shoot the main knife out, and about 20 other knives would shoot out right afterward.

This happened every time.

Anyway, delerium died in less than 30 seconds. Boss armour or not, it seemed that the mom knife onslaught demolished it.

Found out something interesting regarding the Pause item (that green clicker); the time stop effect ends if you press a fire button... but not if you attack with anything else. Meaning, if you have any direct attack familiars like Meat Boy or Distant Admiration then you can just park it on whatever you want and let the boss die without any chance to attack you. Granted, time will resume after 30 seconds regardless but that's more than enough to waste a lot of bosses. Managed to beat Boss Rush and the Chest path using The Lost the other day with the trick. Craziest thing is that this has been around since AB+ - you'd think they would have fixed it by now considering other Repentance nerfs, but nope. Of course, now that I've mentioned it, expect it to be patched within the next few days.

Pretty sure that's just Brim and Mom's Knife, Kidney Stone has nothing to do with it. "Brimknife" has been around since Afterbirth IIRC?

Brimknife used to not include the main knife. It would just do the stream of knives. Which is powerful but they move very fast so it wasn't super op. I could see adding the regular knife to that really upping the power

It did get nerfed, it used to last forever against non-bosses. It’s basically an insta win in challenges like Cat Got Your Tongue or Solar System if you can get it.

It only comes out in cardinal directions and will switch to another direction once you pass the diagonal halfway point. So to dodge it you want to get some diagonal distance from him when you hear the attack starting and then 'wiggle' back and forth across that diagonal as the brimstone is firing to keep it toggling back and forth

That explanation is probably real confusing. It's easier to just watch someone play against the boss who knows how to dodge it and copy what they do. It's pretty easy once you know the pattern

The real world will, again tomorrow, function and run without me.

yeah it’s an attack that’s hard to explain how to dodge but it’s rather simple to actually do. the “trick” is to slowly walk until it changes position and then changing direction, rinse repeat

Once you've got down the attack, the hardest part to dodge becomes the initial hit since it can be a bit hard to judge just where the beam will come out.

Anyone else notice that phase 2 dogma typically just spams the same attack, either the 3 part ray of light attack or the repeated charge attack. There's also one where he just shoots some feathers without charging but it seems super rare. Most of the time for me at least he just picks one of the two to spam repeatedly. I mean, I know that each of those patterns repeats the same attack several times, but after that he just repeats the same pattern.

The nameless TMTRAINER challenge is a pain in the rear end. I don't think any of the randomly generated items give simple stat boosts, and you miss those when you don't have them.

Different topic, Needles would be less of a pain in the rear end if you got a brief period to do damage to them when they retreat underground, like every other goddamn burrowing enemy in this poo poo of piece game.

On the other hand, you could be me, and the first item you get while doing the challenge was some combination of Sharp Straw and something that made enemies explode into coins with NO recharge time. Easy spam space to victory run :V

In space no one can hear your dope beats.

Just had a bug happen in my greedier samson run, at the beginning of the fight with ultra greed he did the charge move but wedged the cube baby between the wall. This caused ultra greed to just continuously run at the wall for the entirety of phase 1. he would move left and right slightly depending on the side I was shooting but I tried to keep the cube baby centered. Trivialized the fight, but would've probably been fine regardless.

E: sacred heart in two greed mode runs in a row is a good Sunday.
