So my first run with Bethany, I ended up having my spirits all gain different tear effects and their look changed as well. .

Is this normal or a special interaction with an item I had?

I first noticed it after grabbing Dead Sea Scrolls. Gained spirits that teleported enemies to different parts of the room, lobbed mini ipacec, stunned, etc, all shortly after I got that effect from the scroll. Coupled with a 2 bar charge, that's a hell of a synergy. Only other idea was Rainbow baby causing it?

I've actually noticed this as well. I understand how the charge system works, but I was a bit confused on how I was still getting spirits even after getting a new active item. In my case, I got the Book of Secrets, and the spirits were replaced with little white question marks.

Pretty cool. I wonder if that works with all active items.

Okay, NEW stupid question: does anyone know how to open the door in the depths that appears once you beat Corpse?

Grab the polaroid or the negative and then warp out of Mom's boss room using an item.
If you look around carefully there's a skull with a small x mark on it somewhere on Depths II that will give you a guaranteed The Fool card if you bomb it.

Yeah, the second form seems basically like Hush with a much smaller arena, I had a totally busted load out and just barely scraped through. Gonna make some fun runs once I’m playing the shittier characters.

Another stupid (?) question, is Repentance dependent upon Afterbirth/Afterbirth+? I only get the option to buy all three in a bundle and apparently can't buy Repentance alone?

Yeah, that's apparently how it works--if you're purchasing on a system where you don't have the others, or this is your first time, you've got to buy the bundle.

For anyone on this challenge:

You turn enemies to poop when you touch them, and then said poops turns into more lil' poops, so if you have decent health just run into enemies all the time. Devil deals will be pretty pointless anyway so just load up on red hearts and don't worry about damage

Your bombs do damage to everything in the room.

Use your poop item every chance you can (okay, that's probably obvious)

Be sure to run into flies since they won't harm you and you turn them into more poops

I guess I didn't think it was that bad?

Irony Be My Shield
Jul 29, 2012

Yeah it was absolutely horrible, only saved from being the worst in the game by ending early. The bombs are strong but there are some enemies you can literally never kill without them (eg that new boss who has a "moat" next to him so none of your poops can reach him) so you can't really afford to use them to speed up rooms unless you want to risk a soft game-over.

To be clear it's not really difficult (I did it on my first go), it's just extraordinarily tedious.

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

I'm not sure if the new floors are that much harder or it's just that I don't know what everything is going to do on a subconscious level, but drat they're kicking my rear end.

Anyways, "Children love the Meat Wheel" for thread title. It's a Heathcliff thing.

No, municipal shrimp, I think what that looks like is the shape of 'you need to spend less time online'.

No they're harder for sure. Part of it is also the sheer design spam going on- Downpour has shitloads of watery enemies, waterfalls, rain, water floors, and it makes it a hectic nightmare to keep up on where you can move and what to shoot. Mines is the same but with rocks and fire.

If you go to your save file, then go to Stats, and press Alt + F2, you can sync your save file with your Steam Achievements. It should unlock anything that you have the achievement for.

Some of Ridiculon’s new tracks are easily among the best they’ve made for this game but I still miss some of the Antibirth songs, like the old Mausoleum theme

All of the afterbirth challenges are no longer marked as completed, even after doing the Alt+F2 thing. Is that a problem for anyone else?

Tech 2 is borderline overpowered now, because a ton of tear effects now interact with tech tears. You can spam lil horn or holy shots at enemies and destroy most non-boss armour enemies in seconds.

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

There's some extremely wild unlocks deep in the new content. "A Strange Door" related Variant characters that seem to be bizarre challenge characters, all of them have their own post-it notes. Alt Jacob is just a lone character that starts with a rechargable consumable item, and after a short bit a hell spirit Esau burst out of the floor and starts chasing you around the map, if you kill him or he hits you it turns you into the lost until next floor. I can only wonder what sort of nonsense the others have. Alt Azazel basically just takes away his wings and gives you skinny normal brimstone.
