Even if it was tackled legitimately, the community would've solved it pretty fast. They already figured out the puzzle, all that was left was to put it together. As another example, Valve made an ARG for TF2 that they thought would take a few weeks to solve. The community solved it in 12 hours.

I tried finishing up the original game and go for the no damage achievements. I managed to get Dark Boy, but I missed out on Spelunker and Mama's Boy thanks to Greed.  . Any tips for clearing those?

Any tips on Spelunker Boy? This is in Wrath of the Lamb Isaac, not Rebirth so I can't just cheese it with Azazel and some crazy item loadout. It feels like I'm doing well, and then the game decides to throw a room at me where I can't avoid taking any damage or a really awful boss is thrown at me. I had a much easier time with the other no damage achievements, but I have no idea why this one is giving me so much trouble.

The rooms with red poop surrounding the entrances should be removed because while they're not too much of an issue for normal tears, you can't avoid taking damage if you have Dr. Fetus or Ipecac.

Instant Grat posted:So I guess in Rebirth, if you have 12 heart containers, you can't pick up any soul- or black hearts? It was supposed to be that way in the original BOI, but a glitch caused Soul Hearts to go off the screen. Edmund liked the glitch enough to let it stay in WOTL Isaac, but he decided to get rid of it in Rebirth. Araxxor fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Nov 29, 2014 |

So why do people hate the Haunt? I haven't had too much trouble with it. Aside from his spread shot having no tell, the two ghosts that it sends after me gave me more trouble than the actual boss.

Internet Kraken posted:Dark bum is pretty much a run winner all on its own even after the nerf. The fact that it only costs 1 red heart is pretty absurd. Its less good on hard since heart drops aren't as common but still worth it in 99% of games. Seriously. I had one of the worst Samson runs going, and all I had left was 2 hearts and Brimstone by the time I got to the womb. Then that thing showed up in a devil room. I became completely unkillable after that. There's no reason to keep any red heart containers after finding it.

Okay, so how are people getting through the game with The Lost? The farthest I've managed to get with him is the first floor of the Caves. It really doesn't help that there's just some rooms where it's near impossible to avoid taking damage.

As soon as I complained about it, the game dumped a bunch of damage up items on me on my next try.  So I guess Dr. Fetus can be a good item, you just can't pick it up early. What a shame, it was my favorite item in the original. Does Dr. Fetus not rig the item pool anymore?I would be kind of fine with The Lost if the "gently caress you, here's some free damage" rooms didn't exist. Oh, and if bosses didn't have nearly untelegraphed attacks, like Mega Fatty's stomp and the Haunt. I see why everyone hates that thing now. Also, gently caress spiders. Especially those hopping ones. Also, what am I supposed to do in rooms where it's crowded and there's a bunch of Mullibooms and spiders?

I think the real secret to a successful Lost run isn't necessarily getting the Holy Mantle or Dead Cat, but to get so disgustingly powerful that nothing can touch you. Got Brimstone, Spoon Bender, several damage ups, and turned into Guppy. Nothing lasted for more than 3 seconds. Of course Holy Mantle and Dead Cat can help with covering up mistakes. Now I just have to get the other 4. Would've gotten into the boss rush room if it weren't for Curse of the Lost wasting my time.

Stokes posted:How are people avoiding unlocking the Cellar? It's one of the first things I unlocked, but if I can start completely over and intentionally avoid unlocking the reason I end 50% of my total runs via annoyance, then I would totally do that. Are you just severing runs if you run into Gemini? Gemini has two ways to kill it. Either kill the big guy or the baby last. Not killing the big guy last is easier.

Manatee Cannon posted:Yes he is. It being possible to be worse doesn't stop it from being garbage as is. That's the entire point of the character. Yeah, The Lost isn't gonna be rebalanced. Aside from maybe nerfing the Holy Mantle, it's pretty clear that the devs are happy with The Lost as is. The unlocks are pretty neat at least. I wonder if the unlock condition is gonna be changed. Since the ARG is over, it's just kind of out of place. Getting all the no damage achievements or something would be a more sensible unlock condition.

Azazel is pretty strong. He's pretty much easy mode. But if you don't find something like Brimstone, Tammy's Head, or something to deal with his short range, it becomes really annoying to deal with on the later floors. Aside from that he's pretty strong. Free flight is one of the strongest things about him.

There's no way The Lost is being buffed. He's like what the Blue Baby was supposed to be in the original, a bad character with some very specific advantages. If anything, he's more likely to get nerfed so that the Holy Mantle isn't as good on him.

Can't believe I managed to pull that off. I was getting tired of trying for a Holy Mantle or Dead Cat on the first floor so I decided to just try to make do with whatever I get. IPECAC was my first item.  It felt so good to utterly demolish The Haunt with it. Right before the Mom fight I got Technology 2 and Spoon Bender. And the boss rush offered Infestation 2. The boss rush was demolished in 1 minute. I think this is the most powerful run I had. At that point the IPECAC shots were more of a threat than anything else. I had way too many close calls with those. Not even a double Adversary room stood a chance. It was ridiculous. Probably could've taken down Mega Satan easily, but I didn't want to risk it. You don't have to fight it as The Lost, right? I don't think I'll tackle the chest with him just yet, but at least the fun unlocks are in the pool now.

Dark Bum still "pays out" afterr 1.5 red hearts. But it now has a chance of giving you nothing, or throwing spiders in your face.

Dark Bum can also give out friendly spiders as well as enemy spiders. So he's more like a beggar instead of a straight heart to soul heart converter. He still only costs one red heart, but the Mitre is a more reliable way of getting Soul Hearts now. As for the Halo of Flies thing, I don't know what that's referring to. It's not referring to the blue flies at all. I tested it out, and I had way more than 10 of those things when I tried out Guppy. The only thing I can think of is that the Pretty Fly limit got increased from 3 to 10, but I'm not too sure on that.

This didn't get mentioned in the PC notes, but the PS4 version mentions the telefragging being fixed. RIP Dark Bum. For the record, it's still a great item, just slightly less run winning now.

About that, seed exploits still exist. They missed getting rid of one. Type in the seed on the character select screen, back out to the file select screen, go back to the character select screen and choose whoever. Your run will still be seeded, but the no unlockables and achievements restrictions no longer apply. Doesn't work for challenges anymore.

Holy Mantle in the Treasure Room, Stop Watch in the 2nd or 3rd shop. The Alt + F4 exploit didn't get patched out either for some reason.

Just a little warning for anyone that cares about achievements. Mods can still unlock the secrets, but that locks you out of the achievement. So if you got Platinum God or Real Platinum God on a modded game, you can't get the achievement unless you start a whole new save file. (Just use SAM.)

wocobob posted:Does the no-achievements thing in challenges extend to items showing up? I haven't seen Black Lotus yet, and it seems like the easiest way to look for it would be to play Demo Man and bomb open the first secret room over and over. Unfortunately it does. Best bet is probably Isaac with the D6 and hope an item shows up in the secret room.

Beans is such a terrible challenge. It's so boring, and you'll burn through your bomb supply fast if you want to get through it fast and keep running into damage sponge bosses. The Bean couldn't had a faster recharge time? Or you could've had the Battery to help with that? Or not be blindfolded?

Ghost Head posted:I mostly like the changes that have happened lately except for the inability to bomb into treasure rooms from adjacent rooms. that is loving idiotic. also, for fucks sake, put the seed on the death screen It's a bug and it'll be fixed. Just a warning, careful when using teleport items or a Moon card. If the secret room spawns next to unbombable rooms, you'll be trapped with no way out and will be forced to restart.
