Ugh I was doing really well during the Guardian(even had The Bible to instantly kill Mom and Mom's heart) and then the Womb completely screwed me over. Is the only criteria Edmund uses for judging challenges "Are they technically completable?" because this is not fun RNG at all.

I must have lucked out on my guardian challenge, because I only needed two or three resets to finish it.

Yeah I don't see how you can get through the Womb without either insane defense items+health or luck.

I dunno, the only problem I had previously with The Guardian was that the punching bag would suicide on spike traps and red poo far too readily, but they definitely added in some aversion to those two things in a patch, as others have noted. Other than that, you just need a couple damage ups to instakill almost everything.

A few things I've noticed that haven't happened to me before, not sure if this is new or not: Lucky pennies seem to have a different look to them. Homing shots works with maw of the void/athame. Greed can spawn from blowing up shopkeepers/secret room bodies. This was in the Chest though.

That's been in before today's patch. Dunno about the rest. For a dev team paying homage to Iwata, Nicalis sure doesn't know how to be direct  EDIT: I think since the new patch, doing daily runs no longer deletes your active save?

Lucky Pennies definitely had the same look as regular pennies before the patch. The only way to tell them apart from regular ones was to get Humbling Bundle, since Lucky Pennies will never be doubled. But I didn't see any Lucky Pennies since the patch, so I can't really say.

Maybe I was imagining it, I thought they had an extra "sparkle" or two around the outside. I'll guess I'll try to pay more attention.

I've legit seen the missing poster zero times since learning of the new lost unlock, and that's with buying mom's box at every available opportunity, and entering shops with 0 coins and only 1 key just in case it's for sale and I can bomb it out. Man I wish I could just do the old unlock method.

Fuccccckkk. Took forever and the stars finally aligned and I had the blank card, a 2 of diamonds and a battery in the store so I could finally get the hourglass and pump the greed machine, and I picked up Little Baggy and there goes my 2 of diamonds.

Do items found in Greed mode count for the item sheet? Might be the only reason to play it again.

Man I wish I could just do the old unlock method. You can actually still do it the old way. I've watched streamers do exactly that. You just can get screwed over by getting the Burning Basement, Flooded Caves or Dank Depths, which is why using seeds for those and then doing an Azazel run is recommended.

A small warning. It may be obvious, but the sacrifice room will still teleport you to the dark room even if you don't pick up the key pieces. In other news, thanks to Ipecac and Swallowed Penny, I beat The Lamb with Keeper before Satan. First floor Flight Eternal also helped.

Other changes: Butter Bean deflects bullets now. The Tick can now be removed by picking up The Matchstick. Cain's Other Eye now scales with your damage. Taurus works in Greed Mode and Boss Rush now.

I was redoing completion marks, since the bug that glitched them out stopped me from getting 1001%. I had two left, Eve to the Chest and The Lost to Dark Room, but after I completed Eve, it gave me the 1001% achievement. The Lost is still missing the Dark Room completion mark, so that's odd. Not that I'm complaining! Now I can start actually playing the game.

It's just godmode and you had it.

The Lost is actually fun. I hadn't touched The Lost, ever, because I didn't care about Godhead and Mind/Body/Soul, but I just Randomed into a Lost run and said "Eh, why not." I never used the D4, I kept the Holy Mantle (it saved my bacon more than once), I ended up with Cricket's Body/Scytches/Incubus/Succubus and was just one Guppy item short of becoming an unstoppable killing machine...but then I picked up Tammy's Head in the Chest.

Lost is just a good example why sometimes that just focusing on making something a challenge isn't what should be done. The Lost was always fun if you could get a run going the problem was that was so hard to do and with the way certain rooms and enemies were taking a hit through a run was more or less inevitable. So now they fixed that and the Lost is as fun as he should be a lot more often, and it's still pretty challenging. There's only a couple instances now where I feel he is unfair. The Keeper needs a similar tweaking to make him more fun and still challenging.

The Keeper needs a similar tweaking to make him more fun and still challenging. The thing about The Lost was that he needed incredibly specific circumstances to win without Holy Mantle/D4/Spec tears. With them, and especially now that they've removed some of the bullshit rooms in the new patch, Lost can go into any seed and have the ability to win. I feel even the best players would tell you there are seeds they've played that you could not reasonably expect to win as The Lost beforehand. The Lost is still a challenge, but one where you can just start up a game and feasibly take on in one solid go if you're good enough. Keeper doesn't need nearly as much help to get through a run as Lost did before Afterbirth, but there are still runs I've had with him that just make me feel like the game wasn't designed for a character who works exactly like this because the game does not reasonably accommodate how you have to play when you're Keeper. I really hope they mess with him soon. Also, Lost and Keeper both still require incredibly circumstances to be expected to fight Hush, but that's less them and more Hush being poorly designed.
