Ipecac + donation machine money + Pay2Win is absurdly broken. Walk into a room, hit space. Go to next room, hit space. Boss room, hit space maybe three times, next floor.

I don't agree with the nerf, but that's why.

I got the scapular+sharp plug in an angel room and ran into the blue fire to reduce my hp to half a heart but the scapular didn't activate. I had to go to womb I with 1 heart and died. What went wrong?

You needed to leave the room first to activate scapular maybe?

Oh my God, did this game always run like complete poo poo? It's really jarring to play again. First game though, first chest victory with Cain. They did change the health bar so you can see up to like 50 hearts, which is nice. Basement 1 ipecac certainly helped.

Achievements are hosed apparently, the steam forums have a temporary fix. I'm pretty certain I got well over 7 hearts from eternal hearts, but I guess it doesn't count if you Guppy's Paw them away.

Note for the eternal achievements - beating Satan does not count as beating the game, you have to go through the chest. And instead of needing 7 heart containers from eternal hearts it's more like 12 to get that achievement (but it does give you flight when you unlock it.)

So I guess we just wait for the mod that keeps the eternal enemies (at lower health for certain bosses), the new AI, but removes all the other bullshit changes? Because that might actually be fun.

It's great that two steam sales now means free shop items for ever. If you get the restock item, you're basically guaranteed to destroy the game, as Chaos is bound to show up in the shop if you just keep removing items from the pool. Then you can basically get any item in the game.

And then you pick up Missing No by accident and ruin everything. In two different runs. :(

The 5 win streak with 5 different characters one looks annoying too, though you only need to beat Isaac or Satan.

In case it's not clear, you need 5 wins total, not 25. It's 5 total wins in a row with each win being with a different character.

Sacred Heart was in the Angel room, which you're guaranteed to get with Eucharist.

Oh I get it, you guys used the dice room to reroll didn't you?

I'm reading the thread on reddit and it looks like people are talking about two different things. I'd say it was people doing the afterbirth daily instead of the afterbirth+ daily, but since you got eucharist that can't be it. I didn't get a dice room at all and explored everywhere. Apparently to get the sacred heart you have to sacrifice room yourself into the angel room before you kill the boss, otherwise it's just soul hearts behind locks.

There's an item that makes portals that hurts the Shop pool because it sucks.

The ventricle razor? I used to agree with you, but it's actually awesome. You have invincibility frames coming out of a portal, so you can use it (even as the lost) to donate to blood machines. Have a greed fight? As long as greed summons an enemy, kill greed, gather the coins or steam sale he drops and portal out. Then repeat forever because if you portal out of an active fight, the fight restarts. Portal in and out of a devil deal as much as you want to manage your heart containers. It's got lots of uses.

With the knife! And I just learned if you open the door, then take a devil deal, when you get back out the door closes and you have no knife anymore. And I'm on a challenge so the portal down doesn't open either and I'm softlocked. Thanks Ed!

Alabaster Box is no longer charged when created with Tainted Cain. I know because I was in the middle of a run when I had to save and exit, had the patch applied, and then found out personally.

Good thing I was already God and only had to craft a couple more R Keys to get every single unlock except a Beast kill. Got planetariums finally as well!


Edit: Tainted Jacob exploit still works (kill Esau and exit to menu before he explodes).

[*]It's a good idea to keep breaking apart items until you get a bone heart solely for making Rock Bottom, ensuring you'll never accidentally reduce your stats. Sadly there is no item that makes bone hearts, so you need to rely on the rare chance you'll break one out of an item.

Pop a charged Alabaster Box in a secret room, the items will create bone hearts there.

I'm using Tainted Cain to clear everyone's Greedier mode right now, so I'll try the monsto's lung method. The best path I found was rock bottom - polyphemus - sacred heart - godhead - soy milk - tractor beam - kidney stone. Kidney stone is actually the key, as that plus soy milk skyrockets your tear rate. Tainted Isaac keeps showing up more often than you'd want which ends/crashes your run, but there are other fun things to watch out for. I was able to win with Tainted Azazel and Forgotten, despite them not being able to shoot tears and move, respectively.

Yeah, the reason the Monstro's Lung route is great is because all the items involved are low quality items, so they're a lot easier to craft, and they end up making you a harbinger of death with a lot less effort compared to trying to make stuff like Polyphemus or Sacred Heart. It gives you a lot more freedom on what to craft too since your power level is super high after that, so there's less need to hunt down more power, and you can focus on crafting utility items instead.

I'd highly recommend flat stone to go with Monstro's Lung using this route since it's the easiest way to fix the horrible range you end up with.
