Nah, you were just unlucky. About every third volley with triple shot and firemind would have an explosion and then crickets body made it everytime there would be a few of them.

The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt.

New synergies would be good, I just had a run where I picked up the reaper scythe (name?) and then re-rolled a devil room to grab brimstone and it overruled the previous :/

In that particular case I think it should give you a much larger brimstone laser. Maybe color it grey or black or something.

It should spew out a stream of scythes like you do with Mom's Knife/Brimstone.

As for brimstone synergies, I just want Brimstone and Ipecac to not overflow damage or whatever it is that makes you do less damage with the two combined.

Also Ipecac and the Fetuses should give you a beam that is made of explosion, kind of like The Cage and The Adversary's shockwaves.

Brimstone Epic should still bring up the target reticle but instead of dropping a missile on that spot it's the Brimstone laser.

Because it's in the chest pool because it's a head-related item as well as the item room pool.

Ah, poo poo, you're right. I feel like there should be more Bob items, that would turn you into Bob, giving you bob's brain as your normal tears (being able to rapid fire them, rather), and a green creep trail.

Mom's Knife plus Death's Touch should turn the knife into a scythe that you swing in an arc in front of you rather than throw.

I disagree. Boomerang scythe. It's stationary in front of you but when you throw it it spins like normal and does the Mom's Knife animation.

I just started playing BoI again after a break. gently caress I love this game. I finally got to the Cathedral for the first time and even beat it first time. Mostly because of Guppy's Head, frankly.

Also I love some of the little item/enemy combinations that can make fights hilariously trivial. Like Lemon Party + Gurdy.

You should be able to turn your computer off between attempts. And be sure to use seeds for the first three runs, you only need to do a random Azazel run.

Also if you think unlocking the Lost is bullshit.

It's been 3 weeks since I finished boss rush with the Lost and I am still mad as hell I accidentally took Poloroid out of habit and hosed up getting the last mark I needed.

That would be an interesting, thematic challenge. ???, Robes, Scythe, Knife. Risky weapon on a character with no permanent HP.

I used the D4 earlier and ended up with extremely high range, Triple Shot, Ipecac, and Cricket's Body. I shot a wall (well, inside a wall, due to the arc) and a wave of explosions rolled both ways, replicating further as they kept forking off inside the walls, moving slightly, and exploding in the walls again, shooting off side-shots from the walls and covering half the room :stare:

Monstro's Lung and Ipecac is also amazing. It would both wipe out groups of monsters (and anything else in their general direction) and bosses. It took me until Isaac before I found a something that could (barely) survive a single volley.

It has a single charge but I dunno if that counts as something you can't use the Battery on, like the stuff that charges automatically, or like Tammy's/Guppy's Head

edit: huh, the White Pony/A Pony and E. Coli work alright together. It seems that you still turn regular enemies that you touch during the dash into poop! I'd have never thought to try that intentionally, but it seems so obvious in hindsight.

And some words about the new boss that was teased a few weeks ago, Little Horn, who looks like an absolute fuckhead to fight.

It looks like you can damage the ludovico tear, which would make the fight easier to a degree. I like that boss. Especially because it seems like an easy devil room item like the Fallen or Dark One, but on Basement 1 or 2.

Just ruined my best Lost run in many moons by accidentally stepping into a path to the Womb before killing Mom. Well before 20 minutes.

Holy Mantle, Nine Lives, Inner Eye, numerous damage ups and tear ups. Guppy's head, PhD.

No negative.

Curious - do seed codes work across platforms? I screenshotted the code for this run, but it's on the Vita.
