How does health regeneration work with the placenta? Is it just time based? Like if I stand still in a room for a while will I eventually fill up my hearts?

So is there anything after Mega Satan or is he the very last boss? How do you go about opening his door in the chest? And is there any news on the undiscovered playable character yet or how to unlock him?

Do you still have to pick up every space bar item you see even if you don't want it to take it out of the item pool, or has that been changed from BOI1.

Are the stats bars in the pause menu just approximations? Like, is there a 3.5 damage or something, or is a 3 always the same exact 3?

I hope this game has weird secrets that aren't found for a long long time :allears:

Even if they are just programming fuckups. Those were still being discovered in the first game right up to now.

Do you guys have any weird OCD or rituals in this game? I don't know why but for me ever since I first started playing this game I go down to the next floor by touching the cellar door from its top, every time.

I have a little ritual where whenever I get damaged by something I yell curses at my computer and smash my keyboard around.

What does "tears up/down" actually mean? Is it every tear related stat like range/damage/shot speed in one?

And what does faith up/down do?

honestly i'm kind of sad that you're way less likely to see meat boy or bandage girl this time around. it was a cool series of upgrades.

You're crazy. Getting a meat cube or two or three every single run was boring.

What are the little stationary tentacle things that show up in the womb? Is it even possible for them to damage you?

I can't seem to drop trinkets. It says my drop key is left control but it does nothing, even if I hold it down.

I hate how the ghost boss that starts with 3 little ghosts you have to kill can spawn in the basement. It's way too hard to be a level 1 boss.

Also the "you feel stompy" effect is super cool. I have a lot of fun smashing rocks and stuff.

I'm on a run right now as ??? with Holy Shield, Dark Bum, and the brimstone familiar. It's as if the game wants me to win.

Is there a hack to do/spawn whatever you want yet like the one for the original game? I think it was called Spider-mod.

Guppy's Head is by far the best space bar item. Spawning flies with a 1 room recharge is almost overpowered.


What determines when you shoot a special tear effect? Is it based on luck?

I just did the Pitch Black challenge, got Ipecac early and was breezing through it then accidentally got Tiny Planet. God drat is that a lovely item or what. I would have been so pissed if I didn't have familiars to carry me through the rest of the way and it's a challenge that ends at Mom. I love Ipecac but gently caress that was close.

I scum basement 1 so hard. I don't even bother doing the boss, if my first item room isn't solid then I just restart. It's so much easier than doing dozens of garbage runs and hoping they turn around. If your first item room isn't some kind of "I can kill things better" or strong utility item, just hold R. Makes the game a lot more fun.

Wow look at Mr. Puts-work-into-the-game over here. I just hold R until there is a treasure room attached to the starting room with a good item in it.

Why do people hate Pin? He's so easy and doesn't take long to beat either.

Right? This is the first I'm hearing of people not thinking Pin is the easiest boss in the game. You literally just stand at the bottom and he criss cross jumps at 5 miles per hour while you shoot him.

I've been doing the challenges and it's like the game is making fun of me by giving me a ton of keys when there's no treasure rooms. But of course on regular runs I can't find a key to save my life.

I just had one of those rooms with 2 flying heads that don't die until everything else in the room is killed, and a gap between the right side with one of those mulligan things that run away from you on a 1 width pathway. I couldn't reach him at all because I have tiny planet and after like 10 minutes of trying the game just said gently caress it and the heads popped and opened the doors for no apparent reason :shobon:

I have 200 hours on the original game and 38 on rebirth and still haven't unlocked the polaroid or the negative. Honestly reading this thread makes me think half of you are some sort of binding of isaac savants talking about no-hitting mega satan with the lost.

The wiki page for the goat head says

" Gives the player a half of a heart every 13 grubs stepped on. "

What the hell is a grub?

Also to someone who said something earlier about devil rooms sometimes disappearing after leaving and sometimes not, I think they only stay open after you leave if you have the goat head.

It's powerful, but situational. It doesn't heal you if you've been getting mostly soul hearts and selling away your heart containers, and you'll rarely hurt yourself with explosives unless you have Dr Fetus or Ipecac. It also procs when Mom or Satan stomps on you, but honestly those fights aren't all that hard anyway. Being basically completely immune to Satan's third form is good fun, though.

Getting it when you have 30-99 bombs is cheating. You just heal yourself to full whenever you want, including abusing heart machines/devil beggars.
