It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.


Nice start to my Godhead journey. Really regret not picking up the key pieces because I definitely could have whooped Mega Satan and Delirium. I had the Spindown Dice in the Dark Room and was getting a ton of chests thanks to Perfection, and there was probably some insane galaxy brain reroll poo poo I could have pulled off to get an item to open the door but I didn't want to deal with it lol.

I think it's the mod that shows which item is unlocked from which boss, in goferchans case, their Lost unlocks

I started getting back in to this with the Repentance Switch release, but I keep running in to the same problem that Greed mode loving sucks and I hate doing it but also doing the new path without Lost holy mantle is a loving nightmare.


There any good ways to scum up greed donation machine on whatever version Switch is on? I know they hosed over a lot of the old stuff like d20 spam and blank card.

Homebrewed? You can download a save or edit that current save. I'd got most things unlocked on Afterbirth but not everything. When repentance came out I got a completed afterbirth save downloaded so I just had Repentance things to work on.

Sadly no. If I could actively cheat past it I’d have done that a while ago.

I also want to know. I've been playing it with Lilith almost exclusively and I've gotten some good runs, but it's still slow and I hear it nerfs the amount you can donate before jamming if you just play one character? Edmund whyyyy

Whenever you put a coin in the machine, the jam chance increases. This is tracked separately for each character.

greedier mode makes it so the percentage stays locked at like 1 or 2%.

the problem here is that you have to play greedier mode.

the irony of greedier mode is that the extra boss phase is easier than the first Ultra Greed phase since it doesn't actually have boss armor.

It's kinda lame the second form just uses Chorus Mortis still instead of new theme or anything.

Like couldn't they have used Antibirth's ultra greed music? Weren't they already working on Repentence? :iiam:

Isn't the void supposed to be a 100% chance to spawn after beating Hush?

Evil Kit
May 29, 2013

I'm viable ladies.

It doesn't spawn per say, if you go to the upper/upper right there's another door that opens you can go into that has a void portal guaranteed.

But save yourself the trouble if you're playing PC and install the Always Void mod. You can't always make hush with a good build, and Delirium is annoying enough to fight even with a busted build that knowing you can always get to the Void in Chest/Dark Room makes it way less stressful.

Only cavet is that if you have Always Void enabled to force the portal after killing Mega Stan it breaks his unlocks, so turn it off if you plan on fighting him.

Do you remember what bosses you fought in the run? Segmented bosses had a history of causing issues with HP, sometimes purely visual and it's just the health bar that looks that way and it still has 10000 HP. Sometimes not actually visual and you got lucky enough to be stuck with a short fight. Could have been a different boss not playing nicely either.

Any other items or item combos you think might've been responsible?

I think something happened when it turned into Hollow or whatever the Larry Jr variation was, I had the mega short range piercing tears so I think that's what did it in so fast.

Yeah there have always been some weird (but beneficial) interactions with piercing tears and segmented bosses. You also just might have nuked the boss at the right moment, whenever it briefly transforms into "normal" Delirium and isn't in a boss form it doesn't have super armor.

The Job Character mod is even more insane than I thought. After you complete a full Post-It for either version of the character, you unlock a menu with a bunch of achievements in it like "Reach 12 tears stat" or "Beat Satan with no evil or angelic items" and each one has a point value associated with it, and then you can use the points to unlock alternate "tainted" versions of each of the character's unlockables. It's so far beyond the scope of what I would expect a mod to be able to do, and the fact that there aren't any others like it make me think it was kind of a crazy undertaking.

they didn't use any of antibirth's music for whatever reason. a real shame since mudeth's tracks are by far the best ones, but you can use music mods to insert the antibirth music in all of the appropriate places

Are you thinking of the save file images you'd get from having 3,000,000% completed right when repentance dropped?

It'd be cool if there was a menu to pick it all, but I think the musician for the original parted ways.

Edmund liked the tracks, but he thought the tone of the OST wasn't fitting for Isaac, which is why it didn't make it in officially.

you want the "classic music antibirth edition" mod on the workshop if you want danny baranowsky (original isaac) + mudeth as your soundtrack. personally i think it blows the official rebirth/afterbirth/antibirth soundtracks out of the water

Oh it just brings you to the next floor? I guess I won't get boss rush, or any other unlocks without the polaroid
