Except even then, Basement 2 is one of the cases where, even if you get that 99% boost, it gets halved because it hasn't been two floors since your last Devil/God room. Ideally, you'd want to test it on Caves 1.

So if you get to Caves 1 with ??? without having seen a devil/god room, don't explore the entire level, kill the boss and the devil room doesn't open, that's a 99% chance that beating the floor doesn't mean just killing the boss. If anyone's going to try, you might want to not take unidentified pills either, as taking a Health Up pill counts as taking damage on non-??? characters at least (presumably because the heart container you gain is empty).

CJacobs posted:Holy poo poo picking up Brimstone while already having the triple shot was an awful idea. The charge up was so long it was ridiculous. Still did pretty well in the end, though! I had the same thing happen with Triple Shot and Dr. Fetus. You'd think Poly would have the same effect, but I haven't heard anybody report that.

I just had something happen that I didn't think was possible. A beggar dropped a treasure map, even though I had already seen one in the shop.

The Purist challenge is probably the most difficulty I've had with the game so far. It took a really early cat mode for me to get through it after a good twenty attempts. Beating the Chest with Eve is the only thing that has come close to it in difficulty for me. So far the main WOTL boss to give me trouble is the black version of Widow, mostly because I just never feel prepared enough for all that spider dodging and crowd control when I run into him immediately on the first floor.

I have 164 hours logged on this dumb loving game and I'm only missing Plat God and The Left Hand. In those 164 hours I have seen Ultra Pride precisely zero times. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or does the RNG just really, really hate me? Next run, Catacombs one. Half heart. Killed me with a sliver left. God. drat it.

My adventures with ??? continue. I got to Womb 2 with a charged Bible. I was down to my last heart, but the last room before the boss turned out to just have Guts plus a big one in it. Then I found that on Womb 2, Guts can survive a dozen Rock-powered shots plus several seconds of Meat Boy damage plus Lil' Chubby hitting them in the face. This came as a big surprise to me, as I'd already killed one of them standing in exactly the same place before it was anywhere near me. gently caress this loving game.

So i beat the chest with judas-turned guppy, and got the horn for the cathedral, but cain's eye? Is that because of guppy? Or what? Does it just randomly pick an un-achieved drop for guppy? Also since WOTL, i haven't gotten a single challenge update, i just have to quit and reload to get the steam achievements/unlocks, and when i go to look at them it's not there. Is this a common bug/change for some reason?

So listening to you guys, it sounded like getting the Guppy form was easy peasy. But I struggled with it every time, only ever seeing one cat item or only two and never finding a third. I started making concentrated efforts to find three of them, even if it meant death by a Satan pact because I just wanted to unlock the stupid hairball. After several failed runs with that as my mission, I decide to take a stab at some Purist runs instead. Oh, there's Guppy's Head. Oh, now there's the tail in Satan's room. Why not. Then I open a red chest...and there stares at me a dead cat. Which picking up on a Purist run (one where I found the Sacred Heart!!) was indeed a prolonged death sentence. I debated, I paced, and ultimately decided to pick it up. I made it all the way to Isaac where he mowed down my remaining three cat lives. It was a crummy way to go, but at least for a short time  I was beautiful  and I had friends.

Why was my first run with Epic Fetus the stupid "Dark Was The Night" challenge? I could have finally unlocked the drat knife if the challenge hadn't ended right after Mom.

drat crashes for no good reason. I was doing a purist run, had just killed Mom and had 8 full hearts, and 10+ soul hearts as I had a safety cap and after taking a Luck Up pill found both a few Balls of Steel and Health Up pills. My tear firepower wasn't great but I had a candle which I'm pretty handy at abusing so I was confident. Kill mum, go down the trapdoor and the screen just stays black for 10-20 seconds before it closes to desktop. So annoying.

I just lost my best run I've ever had to a crash just now. When I crashed at necropolis 1, I had at least 20 soul hearts , 11 regular hearts, the habit, the 9-volt, the battery, the crystal ball, the pentagram, blood of the martyr, growth hormones, ouija board, and a couple of other things that I forget. So loving disheartening.

I managed to fail to beat the game as Eve with Book of Revelations, the Habit, and the Wafer (and dr fetus for good measure). It was all the tick's fault.

I just noticed that the endings I have unlocked on my laptop are completely different from the ones on my desktop, which is probably why I haven't unlocked some things I totally should have. I think both times I beat it lives were on my laptop which has fewer endings.

The game doesn't actually save anything to the cloud. If you want to play on two computers, you'll have to transfer the saves manually.

If you wait long enough, it'll pop a little window saying that Flash has poo poo itself and it wants to kill the script. Tell it no and wait another ten seconds or so and you get a neat inverted colour loading screen and the game rights itself. Also, Gurdy Jr. is the easiest boss. Just stand at the middle left wall and fire at him, moving up or down when she charges. As long as you reposition yourself dead centre, you'll never get hit by the charge and it's always controllable.

Had great fun yesterday. Been playing with shittier characters (???/Eve, arguably Samson) to unlock stuff so felt like treating myself to an Isaac run. D6 + Battery + X-Ray Specs + The Habit. Shooting super fast super powerful Ouija Board Mutant Spider shots is fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqE6gwZqkbw From the same guy who did that Super Meat Boy medley.

That's the only type of crash I've had. The screen goes black for a while, probably trying to load the next level, and then after a while the software just closes.

I had yet to beat the Chest with Maggie, though I tried so many times. I picked up both the poly and sacred tears early on. Those two, along with some other power ups, made for some comically huge tears. However, no speed power ups meant these tears shot every 1.5 to 2 seconds. I didn't have any speed power ups either, and Maggie is already slow as hell. In the womb I took my chances with an unknown pill (stupid) and what was it? A speed down! poo poo! Slow shots and even slower speed meant I had to enter every room with fingers crossed, hoping to clear in just a few shots. Luckily those shots were about the half the size of the Duke of Flies. I slowly made my way to ??? and finished him with half a red heart left. I love happy endings

So I thought it would be fun to stream me horribly failing with Blue Baby since I've yet to kill It Lives over the past two weeks and I wanted others to enjoy my terrible luck at this game.. First treasure room: Ipecac Shortly thereafter I get a buttload of coins and I get the Battery, Book of Revelations, Mitre, Thorns, The Relic, and a ton of other stuff and absolutely destroy the game. I unlocked The Bandage, D6 and Forget Me Now in that run.

Just had the most amazing Judas run. Got almost every single possible damage up (small rock, the contract, the mark, polyphemus, plus a couple more I'm forgetting), and then quad shot. I beat It Lives in about three shots. The Chest was a breeze, even with two Bloat rooms in a row.

Mwahaha, at last the D6 is mine. Lucked out and got quad shot, Sad Onion, Lump of Coal and the Mark at varying points, along with the Mitre and Bible. Nearly beat Isaac at the first attempt, too - I went in with 1.5 hearts and got him down to the last 5% or so before an unlucky hit got through my meat shields. Then I did an Isaac-D6 run and got totally hammered, of course, but that's not the point.
