Burning rooms have fire enemies and lots more flames, which makes jumpers a little more dangerous and can kill some other enemies faster. Nice tradeoff in some ways.

Flooded floors made me feel like I was moving slower, but I can't say that for certain. Would be good if that were true.

Still no idea about Dank Depths, though. Just seems like a new version of the Depths to me without any mechanical change.

I'm not sure why the "Brains!" challenge being a tearless bob's brain run surprised me.

It's nice enough to give you 3 brains, but it still sucks. Bob's brain still sucks hard and seems to not want to fire off half the time.

Beat The Guardian and unlocked the Blank Rune. That challenge is an absolute nightmare. Got lucky and found a free Polyphemus in the depths, so I didn't have to take a ton of unavoidable damage from Mom.

Dunno what the item actually does, though, cause I haven't found it yet.

Crazy fun battle, dunno if I just had low attack or he has a shitload of health but the fight was long and intense


By the way, the XXXXXL challenge is really long but pretty interesting. Just don't get amnesia on one of the floors like I did :suicide:
Have no idea what Gold Hearts do. I got one once but lost it without noticing so I have no idea

Seems like they changed the boss rush? I got Monstro II in the first wave, which I'm pretty sure isn't right. Died immediately so I couldn't see what else was different

So what do the new slots on the card represent? I'm guessing Ultra Greed and Hush are two, but I haven't seen thing about a third. Did they finally make Mega Satan count, or are there just more secrets to be found?

Gold Hearts make it so that when you lose a heart, you get money. Something I'm noticing is that money is much easier to get now. Maybe too easy.

Yeah, Boss Rush has a random order now, and includes all the bosses from Rebirth. If you haven't gotten that post it note marked off, it's gonna be a lot harder now.

Also it feels like Azazel is a lot harder to use now. His short range seems to be a lot more crippling than it was in Rebirth.

I hit a nasty bug. Started up Afterbirth for the first time, say yes when it prompts me to import my data, game crashes.
Start it back up again, try to open file 1 (the only file that actually had a save) and the game crashes.
Disable Afterbirth, start the game, try to open file 1, game crashes.

I think Afterbirth corrupted my save :smith:


It's no huge loss, I guess. I only had like half the challenges finished and maybe 75% of the pickups, and I haven't played in awhile so it's probably better going in fresh.


That being said, Greed mode is fun as hell.

It's funny because the only character that actually has a reason to use it is The Lost. And turns out he's the only character that doesn't take any damage from pressing it. (Azazel still gets hurt.) At least he has an advantage there.

what horror the gas

I streamed some today and recorded a bonkers lilith run with missingno, what's a simple way to trim down a flv to upload?

Also, the burning basement + curse of darkness makes it almost impossible to see anything at all. The darkness filter and the smoke filter layer on top of each other and it's awful.

Considering there's a Refresh item that makes every shop infinitely respawning like in Greed mode..wow that's abusable. Also I got that new food item that causes every tear to have a random effect, apparently one of the effects causes your enemies to shrink. Wonder if that's an actual tear item, it'd be interesting(if incredibly bad for you)

I've also seen a refresh box in a treasure room, so it's nice to see them being a bit more dynamic.

You idiot.
In this world it's pet or BE pet.

So if anyone was wondering, the super bosses are still totally vulnerable to the mighty CHAOS CARD.
Well, Ultra Greed is at minimum.
Also I can completely confirm that the donation machine at the end of greed mode has unlocks tied to it. Putting in 70¢ makes it so Cain starts with the paperclip.

Man, the Chaos item is hilarious. It's the weird red symbol thing in the shop. It appears to scramble the item pools, so things can get ludicrous pretty quickly.

Welp. Built a Meat Boy on my fourth run for my new save thanks to a first floor Book of Rev.

Also the new Boss Rush seems way easier and it seems like it's somewhat randomized with a limit of how many bosses you can get so not every boss is in every rush.

Welp, found an item combo (besides brimstone) that makes Anti Gravity tears good. Antigrav + Tractor Beam means laser accurate tear shotgun.

I've played the game for hundreds of hours, and I think about 50% of the times I've gotten Steven have been after Afterbirth launched. It's ridiculous.

What increases the counter? I only got it in Greed Mode, so things were too hectic for me to pay attention to it.
