So I left a Chaos Card in a completed room in Womb I, and when I came back later it had turned into a Range Down pill? I didn't pick up or activate anything(to my knowledge) that would reroll items, is this normal?

Only two things I can think of that would have caused this. One is the little bag of pills which turns all cards and runes into pills, but you were in Womb I so unless you got a black market and picked that up its unlikely. The other is walking over the floor of one of the dice rooms but that would probably be obviously what caused it.

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.

loving Family Man is such a stupid challenge.

In fact a lot of the odds-and-ends challenges(Family Man, Cat..., Solar System, Head Trauma) are more about overcoming tedium than adding actual difficulty. Cursed at least means you need to plan routes and play safe. Tank requires a certain adapting of playstyle.

But Family Man(which hides the final challenge)? gently caress it. Unless you get good familiar drops from bosses/devil deals - it's just an exercise in frustration.


Also a fair warning about it: You can *seriously* gently caress yourself up if in Family Man(and maybe in general) if you:
1. Have a bunch of familiars.
2. Pick up Isaac's Head
3. Pick up more familiars
4. Drop/Swap Isaac's Head


It causes loss and reshuffling of familiars.

I was really mad when I found out that Mom's Knife did absolutely nothing in the Family Man challenge. I would have guessed it would have at least given me a knife that I could wave around like the sacrificial dagger.

Especially since I picked it up over Dark Bum.

I found a really cool Tammy's Head synergy: Anti-Gravity, Wub Wub, and Lump of Coal. You use Tammy's Head and a stationary Clump of Tears grows larger and larger until you release them or they release themselves and spread out in a huge swath of destruction.

How in the motherfuck are you supposed to beat Family Man?! I barely limped past It Lives, and got to Isaac with two hearts, which were eventually whittled down by random death beams during the second form. It would have been fine if it ended at the heart, but I'm not looking forward to plinking away at Isaac for three minutes again.

Which is hilarious because after ruining one Number One run by picking it up without knowing what it did, I managed to get it to drop six consecutive runs. And one particular run it tried to give it to me twice. It still drops almost every other run. Though I did recently have Common Cold drop, which led to 'OH MOTHEERFUCKER-oh hey that's new :)'.

Gonna assume that Crickets head doesn't stack. If it did though? You'd have all of the damage.

Yeah, my opinion on Bob's Brain has come around. With pyromaniac you have nothing to fear and if you have high enough range then you should never really be getting into a situation where you're exploding yourself.

You are either very lucky or havent abused it too much then. It can make you an unstoppable machine of death or give you the worst possible loadout possible. I tend to get greedy/curious about what my next build will be with it and end up with something horrible that cant kill poo poo or outright kills me, or I run through every item and it resets me to base stats. Last time I had it I had 4 giant Ludovico scythes and I still rerolled like a fool.

Soy milk, as annoying as it is, is actually a boost to your dps so long as you don't have the fastest normal tears stat or a delay of more than 4 seconds (which generally requires stacking really slow attacks like charges and Polyphemus). Notably, it'll nearly triple your dps if you have only one of Polyphemus, Inner Eye, Mutant Spider, Dr. Fetus and Sacred Heart with 3 normal tears up items (including pills). You can't use Eve's Mascara with them for this to work, but it won't hit the sweet spot without something like Death's Scythe lowering your tears slightly, though you'll still double your dps.

Do you know a seed that gives Soy Milk on the first floor (either naturally or through rerolls)?

Yeah, first time I beat Isaac, I was using ??? and I had soy milk. I quite enjoy it. I can't really remember the rest of my load-out but it was nothing too crazy.

what horror the gas

150~ attempts at the Lost and I've yet to go into a curse room and come out with the dead cat. Most of the time it's spiders or a chest surrounded by fire, and occasionally I'll get both the paw and head, but no 9 lives. Holy mantle is nowhere to be found.

My best run so far was with Bob's Brain and the friendly bomb fly, but I still died in caves 2.
