She doesn't have the friend box. I guess they went back on that decision because she doesn't start with any items at all.

edit: Or maybe you have to unlock it so that she starts with it, I dunno.

She did for the daily challenge, at least. Hopefully its an unlock because otherwise she just seems kind of like Slightly Different Isaac.

Holy christ, Ultra Greed is a nightmare if you don't have high damage. Didn't even get him down to half his health before he stomped me.

I think he has too much health to be honest. I did a run as Azazel and got Ludo, Guppy, Proptosis, Cricket's Head and a couple other damage ups and it still took a couple minutes to beat.

Also, becoming Guppy on your first real run through Afterbirth is like walking through a haunted house with the lights on. I don't get to see what the new enemies do sometimes. :(

Holy poo poo, 20/20 Mom's Knife with Pact, Abbadon, Steven, the Mark...

Let's just say I reached and wrecked the Chest very quickly. Even had Dad's Key on one of the Chest's chests. Saw some very interesting bosses that seem like a pain and a half.

Brimstone and Mom's Knife really helped in that fight, but yeah. It was interesting. Felt like Mega-Satan Lite.

I BEAT MEAT
So I just found a new floor and a boss.

Beat Mom's Heart at 29 minutes and it opened a room like with boss rush, only there was a trapdoor inside. Took me to a floor called ??? which had a boss called Hush. An absolute bullet sponge and a total bullet hell fight. Had a bunch of damage ups and guppy mode and it still took me probably 3 times as long as Mega Satan with that setup. Don't know how I only took 3 damage, but managed to kill it with 1 red heart left.

several are, but this expansion is pretty masochistic and so even if you already had everything previously unlocked, there is still gonna be a lot of stuff to die and learn from.

Went down to Sheol already (haven't imported my saves), and killed satan in a real cool way, I was at the hooves on my last life and I had picked up a new collectible the room before (help from above.

I was kind of wary about using it but since I was on my last life I thought what the hell and mom's hands grabbed one of the hooves to death :black101:

Speaking of "gently caress you, Ed" moments, I got double trouble Rag Man on the first floor. They spawned 8+ spiders that each took about 10 hits to kill, so they kept spawning them and I literally had no way of winning. At least the run ended quick :smith:

Screw Rag Man and his high-health spiders. It's like the Haunt all over again.

Went in with Azazel, a ton of damage (killed every other boss in 1-3 hits), Rotten Baby, Jar of Flies (I don't actually know what this really does but it occasionally let me spawn a million flies at once), Multidimensional Baby (cloned my beam when I hit it), Gemini, Smart Fly, BFF, and one heart plus a black heart plus the Monkey's Paw. Took me down to my last half heart before I finally managed to kill it. Crazy as hell.

Any idea what those weird boss doors along the side of the room do? If they did anything during the fight, I didn't see it.

Also, does anyone know what Cambion Conception (Lilith's other starting item) is or does?

That is a terrifying fight. I was with Azazel, a full shield of Pretty Fly/Meat Cube, and a decent number of powerups. When it started spewing tons of guys and flies and the little blood clot things that shoot bullets at the same time I was just ground out of all my health.

I found the most wonderful bug :allears:

The bomberman item (Bomber Boy?) spawns a bunch of explosions at the same time, meaning if you get a soul heart drop from a blue fire you will now get.. way more than you can carry. I did it in a curse room and it literally filled the room with soul hearts. This is a bug that has been in the game since it came out, but never before has it been easier to exploit!

One of his coin based attacks spawns coins with keys on them, if they stay around long enough they open the side doors and spawn a flood of really flimsy mini greeds that run at you.

Well I just got my donation count to around 40~ on that machine and got an unlock called wooden penny, so it probably just has more unlocks tied to it like the shop machine.

I agree the new boss has too much HP; I made it through with Judas due to Godhead + lots of tears up and it still took forever. Beating him unlocked all the secrets for the new challenges (plus their respective achievements) in one go as well, which is weird since they were actually already unlocked from the start, but I guess that's just a benefit of playing Afterbirth on a RPG save file. I wonder what you have to do to unlock them otherwise. Or else it's a bug?

Anyone want to start a tally of how many times this question is going to be asked in the next ~12 hours or so it takes everyone to get home from work/school and play it? It's up to you whether you want to grind out all the original challenges and achievements and stuff again.

Looks like lots of people are geting the completion mark bug when you import your save, I'm scared to play now in case its not just a cosmetic bug and fucks something up.

I got the "directed Tears" item like three times (forgot the name, it looks like a red cross in a red circle). Any idea what it does, I cant seem to figure it out?
First time I got it was as Azazel so I thought it was Azazel weirdness, but it doesnt seem to do anything for Lilith either.
