Why did it offer me a 33% discount and no discount as soon as I took it to the checkout :(

Because the game just came out, and that was a preorder bonus.

Well first time pre-orderers and loaders, chillax. It always takes a bit for it to actually register and go live properly on Steam.

I found a giant rear end die symbol room that gave me shitload of free items, just by unlocking three locks on it.


Like run 2 and I kill mom with Guppy Mode, Monstro's Lung, with homing, flaming, exploding, piercing tears and an endless steam of flies. :stare:

Real broken rear end seed for Azazel specifically:

code:
ZBNN 3ZYP


I'm not going to spoil what's in it, but this is a seed where you have to try to lose. So much insanity going on if you're smart with resources and get every item room. It'd be real easy no damage achievements if it was possible.

At least spoil what's in it with spoiler tags. Not everyone enjoys surprises and wants to take the time to try out other peoples seeds just to find out if they're as good as they're made out to be.

Well it is. Bite me. :colbert:

It lets you test out one item combos shown in Edmund's blog previews. That's all you're getting.

I like that Samson isn't dogshit anymore. Bloody Lust seems to ramp up damage per floor now, not room, and it's based on damage taken. I turned in to a terrible murdermachine of death thanks to a Dark Bum feeding me with hearts that fuelled my rage. :black101:

Ugh, I had a guaranteed win for one of the challenges, with 12 faith hearts, Brimstone and well enough damage upgrades to take down the Heart.

Then in my infinite wisdom I decided to gamble on a D6 room with 1, and I got Ipecac, My Reflection, Chocolate Milk and Little Planet. Suddenly the only thing I can hit is me.

I think I've used a sacrifice room maybe twice ever in like 200+ hours combined of the first game and rebirth.

I was kinda disappointed that Rebirth didn't revamp them in some way. Curse rooms are a much better risk-reward mechanic already.

What challenges would you guys recommend I try to clear first, from a usefulness of the item unlocks standpoint?

Just do everything that actually lets you shoot somewhat normally first. They generally aren't that hard, as long as you know how to get devil deals, etc. The blindfold challenges can be real sons of bitches, and I wouldn't do any of them before the others.

There should also be a Bob transformation. Not sure what it would do though... maybe ipecac?

Head disconnects from body, which turns in to one of those headless enemies that lobs Ipecacs would be neat.

So far the only Antibirth enemy I have an issue with are the burning flies that circle you, and shoot too. Completely kills some alt shooting builds.

drat, this DLC really replicates that Antibirth feeling of having a god tier run, only to realise that you forgot all knife pieces, because you were too busy winning

I've been working on unlocking the alt characters, and I keep forgetting to leave trinkets behind, or I swap the cracked red key with a tarot card or something.

Tainteed Isaac is so absurd. This was basically a 10 button press kill on Delirium, as long as I did my best to time the shots while it was in vulnerable form.

Can cracked keys drop in the wild outside of the trinket method on the Beast path? Never ever seen one. And the one time I got a red key on Basement 1 I got really excited and killed myself immediately lol.

They can, but it seems like they're about as rare as magic cards and such.

The game would just be much nicer overall if the default starting damage would be more like 4.5 instead of 3.5, and heavy damage characters adjusted upwards accordingly. I just don't want to groan every time I get a start with two 2x2 rooms adjacent to the starting.

Yeah Eve was one I was scared of but after messing with it I started enjoying it. Same with Blue Baby who seems to be one of the most unpopular ones.

My first few floors had me very unsure about her, but once the items started rolling in, it was pretty obvious how good she could be.

I've had a weird time adjusting to the new devil/angel room changes in value, but I've kinda gotten to the point where I don't even enter the first offered devil room unless I am desperate for better stuff. There's just so much useless chaff in the devil pool now.

Going back to tasks of incredible suffering, I'm trying to unlock the Forgotten. Thought I had the perfect run with Gnawed Leaf to just afk it but then Flooded Caves happened and I ate 4+ hearts of damage from poo poo just spawning in my face the moment I stepped into a room and not having time to go invincible.

I actually managed to do it yesterday. I just rerolled Azazel starts until I got something spicy enough (Proptosis) and ran that. I had other good luck during the run too, but at the end of the day, overwhelming damage + flight is what I needed.

Modding out the ascent voice clips was one of the first mods I got, followed by one that let's you skip the mines knife piece sequence. Both were really cool on the first few runs, but get kinda repetitive on subsequent runs.

Also thank god for the item description mod. I have to do way less alt tabbing to refresh my memory on items.

Boy, I just had an eden run start with the spindown die, and that item is extremely good. There are some extremely powerful items next to mundane stuff.

Also really happy to see that the item description mod has actually been updated to show the next few items it'll roll stuff in to, so you need to look up things less.

I just decided to cheat all the challenges that I had left. I just did the ones that seemed like fun, while mercilessly auto-winning all the rest.

Now I'm quietly hoping for mods that let me do the same with Jacob and Esau unlocks too.

I hate them so much that back when Antibirth was just a mod, I practically uninstalled it because of them. Thankfully Repentance seems to use them pretty sparingly, and usually in rooms with flames you can torch with them.

Goddamn I wish there was a way to unlock the Forgotten via mod

Just install some mod that lets you cheat enough. I did a lot of horsehit unlocks with a mod that spawns like 20 item pedestals in every starting room of a floor, and steamrolling through the game that way.
