dis astranagant posted:Why do runners go out of their way to not pick up soul hearts til the end of the floor? It also lets you have a buffer if you go into heart debt on a devil deal. If you go for a two heart deal when you only have one heart you can pick those up afterwards so you won't die instantly if you get hit.

Gus Hobbleton posted:Sin hearts explode and do damage to the entire room when they are expended. At least I think those are sin hearts. The black ones. Yeah, I can confirm this the black hearts hurt all enemies when they take their last hit. Just got a mom kill. If you get enough fly items you get an achievement called Lord of the Flies and it gives you flight. It's either 4 flies total or three special flies. I'm not sure which. Also, the revenge fly item owns. If you take damage the fly continuously attacks all of the enemies in the room until they're all dead. Some of the new pill effects I found were one called Lemon Party which is like a full room Lemon Mishap, and one called "I'm a wizard" or something that made me shoot two diagonal shots instead of my regular straight ahead shots for a few rooms. buddychrist10 fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Nov 4, 2014 |

The brimstone wall spiders in the Womb are perhaps the worst new enemy in the game.

Loot posted:I kept having my shield from that one rune activate just so I can take on a room full of them. They're pretty nasty. It would also help if they had something that made them stand out a lot more from the other spiders because their attack comes out so fast and it can be hard to tell what spider type they are at a first glance.

There is some kinda nonsense going on in Ognos's stream over on twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/ognos He had an Eve run where he picked up a knife and then went into one of those item reshuffle super secret rooms. He know has these semi homing fire shots that just go everywhere.

PostNouveau posted:Hahaha, I just picked up a gimp mask. What the gently caress I'm not sure, but I think that might have a chance to drop soul hearts when you take damage. I got one on my last run and something was definitely dropping soul hearts. I was doing the Soy Milk/Small Planet challenge and I just don't know about the Soy Milk. It just seems so weak. I got guppy mode going and it was hilarious to see a solid line of flies attacking bosses, but even the flies did so little damage. I tried the boss rush room and that run and I think I almost got to the end but I died, and the second set of horseman. Fortunately, I had 9 lives so I was still able to complete the challenge. Also, that demon looking boss with the curving brimstone lasers is a huge pain in the rear end.

Loot posted:Yeah the hearts you can get in Boss Rush are something else, that's for sure. Slow roller is an amazing challenge. I got brimstone on the first devil deal and a guppy's head not too long after. One Brimstone shot could clear out the whole room and one shot every boss I encountered, and the flies could each take out like 3 enemies before dieing. Then on my first Azazael run I got the Ludivico technique on the first treasure room, and the Demon baby on the first devil deal. That run was almost as broken.

Currently playing through this absolutely insane seed with judas Q469 KQ02 Starts off pretty fun with rubber cement and strong damage. Then on the depths I got a devil deal for the scythe up grade. There's also a small planet which you can take or leave a bit later. Then I got to the boss rush room and saw that one of the items was Polyphemus.  The small planet makes it unwieldy at times but then in the Womb there's a chest that gives Tammy's Head which just creates this huge black mass of scythes that instantly annihilates anything it touches that stays on screen long enough for you to move and cut through the larger rooms before they go away.I think you can get guppy mode as well, but I skipped a Tail deal early on. buddychrist10 fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Nov 7, 2014 |

Had a great Maggie run this morning. First item was Money=Power and I got an arcade on the second floor. Soon after I got that item that makes your tears powerful but really short ranged and the pony boss and that was able to carry me for a while. Then it started to get pretty insane as I got Toothpicks, Mutant Spider, and 3 guppy items and really started to shred things (the left hand is pretty nice.) Boss rush item was infestation 2 so I had this sea of flies and spiders that would jump out and melt bosses health. I think I ended the run with about 90 coins so the damage was completely nuts.

Internet Kraken posted:What the hell does this even do? It doesn't have any effect I can see. Assuming it works the same as the original game (which is in line with what I've seen so far) it has a chance to swap a pick up with a chest or gold chest. Since Cain has maxed luck he gets more from chests and is more likely to get keys to take advantage of the increased gold chest drops.

kalonZombie posted:Just did the boss rush. Playing as Azazel and had Mom's Knife. Went in with almost two full rows of explosive hearts. Came out with one and my single heart container. It seems like Mom's Knife doesn't have too many things it synergizes with. I had a brimstone/mom's knife run, and the flurry of knives didn't do that much damage. It feels like most of the damage from the knife comes from when you manage to hit it at the edge of its range so it hits multiple times. With Brim/Knife, each knife travels so fast that it's only going to hit once and do minimal damage.

gamingCaffeinator posted:Is it just a full heart when you're playing as Eve? I picked it up on Isaac during a run and it only triggered at half a heart on him. Although, speaking of Samson, if you get the holy mantle, do the blocked hits increased Samson's Bloody Lust damage boost? I got that on a recent run, but I also had Brimstone and some other damage upgrades, so it was hard to tell. Also I love how Tammy's Head has gone from being one of the most mediocre items to one of the best with the rebirth changes.

Just beat the Darkness Falls challenge. The run was looking pretty doomed when I entered the Womb until a 2 key room in the Womb 2 gave me Guppy's Paw and Dead Cat. This was all I needed for Guppy mode, and then the game decided to make the run obscene by dropping Cancer and giving me Cricket Head from a gold chest. Satan was destroyed in about 30 seconds.

One advantage of doing that God awful beans challenge is that I learned that while the Haunt is normally a huge main in the rear end, bombs take him out really easily. You can just lay them along the upper wall and duck down before he charges.

I had a run where Little Chad ended up really helping. I was playing as Samson and didn't havy really specatcular items aside from the powerful short range tear item (popo whatever its called). Fortunately I had a bunch of health pick ups, one of the items that makes it so you only take half a heart in the womb onwards and overall solid stats. I would just face tank everything to get good damage and then rely on health pickups to maintain everything. It wasn't as overpowering a synergy as some of the other item combos, but it was still very nice. I don't think Little Chad is one of the worst items in the game anymore since it really helps Samson and Devil Bum set ups. buddychrist10 fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Nov 15, 2014 |

I was working on finishing the dark room with Maggy. I got really mad when I found out that Judas's shadow changes who get credit for beating the dark room, but on the next Maggy run I got Proptosis, Magic Mushroon, the skinny Odd Mushroom along with some damage ups. In the Dark Room, I got Polyphemus and from there was able to easily get my revenge.

Which patch was it that makes it so that you auto fire your Brimstone whenever you enter a room before enemies can be damaged? It's such a stupid change that serves no purpose aside from being a pain in the rear end.

I think he also has the 7 characters to the chest run which is about 1:55 or so. Although, I guess it kind of makes since that the Dark Room runs would be shorter because there are a lot of ways to skip Womb 2 that don't work for Chest runs.

Codiekitty posted:So in my quest to unlock the Polaroid, I thought I'd beat Isaac with five different characters. So far I've beaten him with Isaac, Samson, Eden, and Cain. But either I'm having terrible luck with Eve or I just suck with her (or "him", if you want to get technical). I got to the Cathedral with her once, didn't last long. Then I had a run get ruined by the Ludovico. My first win with the lost actually got started with a Cursed Eye. I think one of the patches changed it from 4 shots when charged to 6 because it's a pretty good damage buff. I got 20/20 on the next floor and those two items cleaned house for the next few floors,

Beat the boss rush with the Lost on hard today. I got teleported to a Knife/Mom's Knife devil deal on the first floor and then got Spoon Bender from one of those item pedestals that requires flight to reach. Pentagram and Abaddon from the floor 2 devil deal and eventually got Brimstone on the later floors. Still need to beat the Chest/Dark Room on hard. After the boss rush I started playing like garbage and lost a couple lives because the knife curved in a way I wasn't prepared for a couple times. The two earlier deaths I got from stupidly running into blood donation machines didn't help either.

Codiekitty posted:gently caress, I wish I'd known that last knight. I was playing as Azazal and bought the knife, which caused Azazel to stop firing mini-Brimstones. Then I was offered classic Brimstone, but passed it up because I thought it wouldn't do anything. I actually like regular Brimstone a lot more than Brim+Knives. The extra knives travel too fast to deal that much damage. Unfortunately, the last couple times I've found Brimstone where after I had already picked up the knife. Do shot speed downs affect the speed of the knife? If so it would be really helpful to make the knife hover over the enemy and do more damage.

something posted:I'm not sure if this is a bug or a glorious synergy, but triple shot + fetus in a jar + ipecac = a triple explosion that gets set off immediately around me like kamikaze, and it isn't hurting me even though I don't have pyromaniac. Ipecac works extremely well with anything that multiplies your damage. Dr. Fetus just happens to shoot bombs that do triple your damage so each bomb is doing at least 120 damage a pop.

First item room was holy mantle and then I got a knife on the second floor devil deal after what was a surprisingly stressful red double monstro fight. Dead Cat in Womb one basically ensured that I was going to make it to the end, and a Resistance Rune in the Cathedral made Blue Baby a non factor.

One change I wish they would make to the lost would be to take all of the items that are worthless to him out of his pool.It makes you realize how many items there are that require you to take damage to activate when you're resetting to get a good start for the lost.

Manatee Cannon posted:Been a long time since I played this game (The Lost really killed my enthusiasm), start playing again and right out the gate I get an unwinnable situation. You can get out of that room with the dead cat you just have to be a bit careful of how you do it. The trick is to make sure that it's the spikes inside the curse room that kill you that way you can spawn outside of it. If you rush through you'll leave the curse room and spawn back in it once the outside spikes kill you. Just slowly nudge up against them until you get hit.

Gibbo posted:As a first floor item it gives you a significant damage boost and a limited form of piercing that combos well will pretty much anything that follows. Don't see how anyone would consider that an item not good for speed. I can see where he's coming from. It's a bit more difficult to use than regular tears and while it's a damage up against most things, there are some instances where it can slow you down like against splitting enemies, enemies who can become invincible, or big rooms with lots of enemies that are either split up or aren't one shot by the piercing effect. Although to be honest, I'm a bit more surprised at how willing Problems is to pass up flight.

Goodness I just beat Blue Baby after the most intense fight with him I've ever had. I was playing through with Samson and picked up MissingNo fairly early on. Most of the set ups weren't too bad until I got to the chest (my favorite being what seemed to be a Polyphemus+Eve's eyeshadow build that would have been terrible but it had Infestation 2 and Rotten baby so it was amazing instead). In the chest I discover that I have Tiny Planet + Spoonbender and would later discover that I had Cursed Eye. Fortunately, one of the items in the chest was Techology 2 which was a huge pickup since otherwise the build would have been completely unusable. I tried to make progress but kept getting tapped and warped, eventually managing to get warped right by the boss room with 2 hearts left. I took a really stupid hit from a 2 chub room because I had bad speed so I had one heart going into the fight. Somehow I managed to slowly whittle blue baby down while dodging his shots with my bad speed and not confusing his homing ones with my purple homing ones. I think one of the items might have been the Soul and I also had the Big Fan orbital and those two items probably saved me multiple times over in that fight,
