The Moon Monster posted:I think Tainted Forgotten would be a lot more fun if he just started with the birthright ability. Or if you find birthright, I guess. For me he's fun like 90% of the time, but those 10% of the times that his schtick just does not work is so aggravating. I can't even imagine fighting Delirium as that thing.. And yeah birthright is huge for it. Maybe should be guaranteed to show up at some point on your run or something if it can.

You could go a long way towards making Void more fun by allowing the item slurp activation to work when not fully charged, only using the charge for the absorbed active items. Maybe even have it start off containing a random active item! The biggest problem with the item is that it incentivises slurping up every passive that’s worse than a tears/damage up, though, which means you don’t get all the weird synergies that are half the fun of Isaac. I was playing some Apollyon today, and while he’s not a difficult character in the way that the Lost or Jacob and Esau are difficult, he’s a lot less fun.

What's the item that makes you fart out of your butt when you run around? I got it for the first time today off of an Eden reroll and didn't recognize it. EDIT: Oh it's jupiter, planetarium item. I see.

friend just got the synergy bethany + Curse of the Tower + remote detonator if you have the latter two items the troll bombs don't explode until you hit the detonator edit: "and Book of Virtues + Remote Detonator mean that you only have a limit of 6 wisps and you can't spawn them from item use, but you spawn a wisp from each bomb, and you can detonate those wisp's bombs like a more controllable ipecac"

I just had a pretty amazing run that got through boss rush and Mega Satan, died on Delirium with him right around 50% though. It totally sucked, I recommend a gnawed leaf run or something.

Challenge #45 just gave me an active item that was Blood Rights, but without the self-damage, still on instant recharge, in Basement 1. Kinda feel bad about how not-zany that clear was, there was just no reason to pick up any other items.

It feels like censer makes it much easier to get to whatever final boss you’re trying to beat and then it kills you.

I'm having a really hard time avoiding the TV monster boss's repeated charge attack where he shoots out a ton of feathers. It seems like I just can't get to the side of it before it hits me. Any tips?

If you have high enough speed you can just kind of run between opposite corners and the feathers will be pretty slow and spread out by the time they reach you. If you're at base speed (or worse!) that attack is pretty nasty though.

That feather attack annihilated me on my tainted unlock runs to the point where I only won on 3/17 of them. But yeah go from like top to bottom or corner to corner or whatever and it's easier like others said. I still hate the attack though because if it spams it you can't really hit it at the same time so it can drag out that fight. My maybe unpopular opinion is that Lilith is much much harder to dodge with than Jacob and Esau. My god I just can't play that character. It is SO frustrating how what I'm firing from and what I'm dodging/moving with isn't the same. It's the same reason why Isaac's Heart and Guillotine(for me) are so difficult to use. At least J&E you are still centered. My only hope with her is that I get good upgrades and that Cambion Conception spawns another incubus on its first activation.

Lilith takes a bit of getting used to but I can't imagine her being anywhere near as bad as J+E. I think I'd prefer her even if her Incubus could take damage. Also she does more damage and it actually scales properly.

If you're at base speed (or worse!) that attack is pretty nasty though. Spend the whole time on the move. Run to the adjacent corner when it's coming for you. You still have to weave between the feathers, so this isn't perfect, but you won't get hit by dogma and the feathers will be pretty spread out when you have to weave through them.

Yeah your best bet is to try and anticipate the angle Dogma will be coming towards you at and move perpendicular to it. It takes a bit to get the hang of it but it's consistent in its timing so you'll eventually get the hang of it

That attack was the bane of my existence for a while but it is reliably dodgeable as long as you have the speed to move around the room. I really wish it was a first-phase attack though - as others have said, it’s just boring to watch him whizzing around without any way to damage him. Dogma is a fight all about that pre-Beast chip damage anyway so I wish they’d let him do it once then cut him off.

Has anyone else thought about the fact that their x0.5 Speed Up modifer means that J+E are usually the slowest character in the game by the time you reach the end bosses? Dogma spin and Beast suck (the strength of the suck depends on how far away your character is from The Beast so it separates them) are already really nasty for them and their speed penalty compounds that. Tough fight even with 15 effective health on one character and a Wafer effect on the other.

After mashing my head against J+E and Bethany for a while it's such a relief to know that Tainted Bethany exists. Got a Car Battery on Basement 2, got an Angel Room on Caves 1, slammed all 42 stored hearts into multiple godheads and sacred tears. What an absolute, hilarious mess.

I finally beat the beast with Isaac. I had a pretty good run going with Dr fetus + poison creep bombs that got me all the way to the mosuleum. Then I accidentally stepped on a 1 die room because I thought that only rerolled items on the floor. Luckily all my stuff got rerolled into an even better build that had 3 or 4 familiars, fruit cake, max tears, and around 10 damage a shot. Still needed a full heal to get through the entire final fight though.

Familiars seem really good now. Conjoined being so common is a huge boost, especially if you find a magician card for your tough fights.

The kinda bad ones like Bobby, Maggie, and Mongo got buffed and the really bad ones like Abel.... well... they tried? I think the only familiar who got worse overall is Bumbo and that's more due to the fact he's harder to feed with recharge abuse strats being more difficult then before.

I recently picked up Repentance after not playing for a long time. Three thoughts: I feel like a ton of items got damage increases added to them or otherwise buffed, and that's a great thing - part of the reason that I stopped playing is because my item pool got so diluted with items that were cool, but not necessarily useful, and it made getting good runs kind of a pain in the rear end. Living In The Light absolutely whips. I wish it wasn't such a pain in the rear end to unlock Tainted characters.

There is some kind of minimum speed boost when going up against the Beast. I had a Maggie run where I kept getting bad luck speed downs and eventually went for them intentionally just to see how slow I could get. Managed to scrape through Dogma with 0.24 speed, but was noticeably much faster afterwards. I don't recommend anybody try it. Speaking of, I was attempting to screenshot my hilariously bad speed just before going into the Dogma fight, but every screenshot I took had the pause overlay. Does that happen to anyone else? How do you get around it? e: Thank you SkeletonHero fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Apr 26, 2021 |

Screenshots of fullscreen isaac usually shows the main menu, pause screen or a black screen for some reason.

You actually receive an item when you beat Dogma: https://bindingofisaacrebirth.fandom.com/wiki/Dogma_(Item) It gives 0.1 speed, 2 damage, and enough soul hearts to get you to 6 total hearts if you're below 6
