Do you think I've got the goods Bubblegum? Cuz I am INTO this stuff!

Made my last run of BoI tonight and uninstalled in preparation for Rebirth. Didn't get any God achievements, but I did beat the Chest properly once. Hopefully, I'll do better in Rebirth since I'm getting in at launch instead of a year later.

I picked up the game after a long time away (hadn't played since Rebirth came out) and have been playing off-and-on when I get the urge. I think Repentance is great, but I have hit a wall with progression. I'm stuck in trying to get to / beat Mother right now. I do okay with other boss paths (???/Lamb with every character I have, Mega Satan with most of them, Hush with a few, Delirium with one so far, and Ultra Greed with a few), but I usually die on my way to Mother when I attempt that path.

I don't know if I need to be better at knowing pickups, if I'm missing out on an ideal path to follow (e.g. should I not go to Downpour until Basement 2), or if I just need to be better at video games. Any tips on improvements I could make?

Thanks all for the tips. I think it was just a case of getting a good loadout + learning the floors better. Beat Mother for the first time with Isaac tonight (using a Chaos Card, so kinda cheap, but I'll take it!). The Mines suck, and the chase sequence is annoying.

If you are on PC, I would just mod it out.

I am. I didn't even think to look for a mod to remove that chase. Doing so immediately.

Yeah. The first few times, I was twitchy and nervous about it and died. But once I saw that she won't hit you during the slow walkup and dodging is dead simple, it became more tedious and not actually fun.
