Any tips for beating greed mode with the lost? I just barely managed to beat the Hush with the lost on a super lucky run but I can't seem to do anything with it in greed mode.

as always, gnawed leaf/daddy longlegs removes any challenge from the lost

Do I just keep restarting greed mode until I run into gnawed leaf?

What's the general strategy for Greedier mode? I was able to play and beat greed mode back then with all the characters but greedier mode is just kicking my rear end left and right. :(

There's one where you have to: "Defeat The Lamb without taking hearts, coins and bombs"

That seems pretty awful.

I can't seem to find any information on this. What counts as "taking hearts"? Does Abaddon giving you six black hearts count against you? Does taking Skeleton Key count as picking up keys? Or is it literally only the pickups? Because I'm fairly certain I can do this in one broken Isaac run but I don't want to be afraid of taking every single item.

I got it from the gamepedia page here: http://bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.com/Achievements#Afterbirth_.E2.80.A0_Achievements

It may not be the most reliable but that is the site I use for BoI info.

Thank god somebody clarified that you can use mods (after a specific point) and still unlock achievements because this mod that tells me what items actually do is so handy. God bless you, whoever you were. Also, god bless the person who made this mod, because I don't play BoI steady enough to remember what everything does, and the alternative of having the wiki opened is kind of tedious.

Got a link or name of the mod? That sounds handy.

Sorry if this doesn't really belong here but the release date trailer for Legend of Bum-bo just got released!

It's a prequel to BoI and will come out on November 12th.

I've always found the Re-roll enemies ending die to be mostly useless in Binding Of Isaac, but it's a huge lifesaver in Bumb-Bo, especially since it recharges in one room. It can turn a whole room of annoying high HP late floor enemies into flies or regular poops which is the wonderful cannon fodder Bumbo the Weird wants.

Those tears stayed on screen for a good 5-10 seconds.

I'm sure Isaac is somewhere in there.

That's why the Silver Dollar and Rib of Greed trinkets are so invaluable. Too bad finding the specific trinket(s) you need for a particular run is usually so difficult.

I was hoping they would've changed up Mama Gurdy's spike attack a bit to make it easier to see where the spikes would pop up but I'm probably just bad at avoiding that attack.

Even with a 100% clear save file, it feels like there's so much to do and learn. Glad to be playing this again. I killed a new final boss just as they killed me, so that was a waste but was fun to get that close after only a second encounter.

I think J&E can be kind of fun but I have no idea how one is supposed to make to boss rush or hush in time since it feels like you have to play really carefully.

New Keeper can be fun and pretty easy to abuse sacrifice rooms assuming you get lucky with money/wooden nickel and are good at dodging hits.

J&E left a really sour first impression since my first time playing them was in that Seeing Doubles challenge and, thanks to the nerf to 20/20 and increased enemy count, they were just miserable to play.

If you only hit a single target, it takes damage based on your damage modifier, the damage boost is gone after 0.5 seconds and the shadow explosion does normal tear damage.
Every enemy you hit past the first one takes increased damage and gives you increased damage for both the shadow explosion and the duration of the damage boost when exiting shadow form. A single enemy tear is counted as a full enemy, so if you Dark Arts something like monstros puke attack, you can hit dozens of tears before you get to monstro itself and do crazy amounts of damage.
The mom transformation knife does not turn in to shadow, so you can drag that through large enemies in shadow form.

You're also completely invincible in shadow form, so you can walk on spikes, enter curse room doors, pass traps without taking any damage.

Maybe I'm just playing it wrong, then. It just felt very weaksauce even after I'd dark arts multiple enemies/projectiles and the damage boost was nice but drained too quickly. Probably didn't help that my single tainted judas run didn't give any good stats up items.

Well actually some characters don't even have effects added for them with the item, they haven't been implemented yet.

Oh, I didn't realize. Sorry.

Birthright is definitely a top tier item for Tainted Keeper, especially on Greedier mode.



I don't think I've ever seen him die this quickly before.

Tainted Keeper breaks Greed mode and then some. With 4.5 volt and the Sprinkler, it kept recharging itself quicker than I could put another one down.

So I just finished the Beast with a really broken Lost run. The Lost with the perfection trinket, Apple!, Tough Love, Bird's Eye, and Soy Milk along with various tears up and damage up items meant I was firing at a rate of 35 with "only" a damage of 1.50. I was firing nothing but flames that, on top of dealing damage, also blocked any and all enemy shots. Nothing could touch the Lost.
