. Even with the nigh unbeatable combo Delirium is such a poo poo boss. His behavior is so erratic it's hard to tell what's a glitch and what's not.

Yeah pretty much this. The warps around the room and the random bursts of shots sucks. And then to have him careening at you from out of frame as scorpex or whatever is really poo poo.

I had a run earlier with Ludo, Brim and Pause button as my active. I could just put my tear on the enemy and freeze them indefinitely. Ultimate cheese.

I don't find Downpour bad at all and if I have a spare key I'll almost always pop in for the extra loot from doing the mirror map in Downpour 2 even if I'm not doing the Mother path. Also if you're playing as Isaac with D6 you can reroll the first knife piece into something useful. but Mines are definitely harder than Cave and Gehenna is a real liability, I never gently caress with those unless I'm going for Mother.

edit: The big mindblowing thing to me, which I don't think was really newly buffed in Repentance but I just never noticed in Afterbirth+, is how good the sacrifice rooms can be if you have a lot of health sources. Using them increases your angel room chance, has pretty good odds of teleporting you to the Angel Room or or giving you items from it, it can give you a ton of coins, etc etc. If I'm playing a red heart character and I have a bunch of spare hearts laying around the map and a sacrifice room I'm always excited to hit it up. And once again if you're playing Isaac with D6 you can reroll the key pieces that the angel bosses drop into useful items.

edit edit: They're also one of a very small number of ways to give you a chance of encountering an angel room on floor 2
Sacrafice rooms were trash because they counted as a red heart penalty for devil/angel rooms but they chamged that in repentance.

I have the mega satan completion marks with like 10 chars but I don't have apollyon, I guess he isn't retroactively unlocked. Gotta unlock the forgotten as well

Got my first Mother kill, got Psy Fly on the first floor and pretty much recognized it would carry me all the way there.

The jam percentage in greedier is so small its alnost nonexistant but youd have to play greedier mode. Also each character has tgeir own jam percent, rotate chars!!

Brimstone is still really good honestly, it's worth it for the range and coverage, you just can't coast on it without any other source of damage up. It also has a bunch of cool synergies it didn't have before

I'm so mad




At least I finally unlocked Apollyon... but drat I was so close to beating delirium my first time in the void. Really cool area, the boss was a lot more fun than hush. Wish I had clutched it out, and I probably would have had I not taken Abaddon at the gate to Mega Satan but I didn't expect the void portal to show up

Never played Keeper on my last save file, didn't have a single completion mark for him, and beat The Beast first try lol. Protopsis + Mom's Knife was enough damage to bypass and boss armor I guess. Excited to try the tainted version he looks really cool

Giving me Ludovico on the first floor with azazel but having no bombs spawn at all to get the broken shovel was some pretty heinous poo poo...turned that run into my first one to get to Mother instead but I unfortunately got kneecapped by a question mark Almond Milk and wasn't able to kill her.

Sacrifice room now gives you a bomb 100% of the time on your first sacrifice if you've fulfilled the shovel conditions. Not that you'd ever know that lol

hard mode was already imbalanced but now it's even worse lol
