Guppy's head + brimstone is amazingly unfair to use. Go into a room, hit space, everything dies.



Everything did not die here right away because of the enemy type, but still. One shot every boss.

Oh god made it the way through 3 victory laps and had no health icons at all but could pick more soul hearts up (???) and died in one hit

Spraying teeth everywhere due to soy milk and some other stuff. If I entered a room firing everything died. Including me when explosive enemies were nearby

I think I'm gonna shelve this until mod support gets added again, I'm just not good enough at this game. I really enjoy runs where you get super powerful but have too many that end up scraping by and getting pasted too early.

Yeah I spend far too much time reading what items do on the wiki. Even then it can be kinda hard to figure out what the names are to locate stuff to figure out items.

This is why I usually check https://platinumgod.co.uk/ instead, since you can just look for the icon if you don't know the item name. You can also use the search filter if you know the name or just part of the name for the item. You can search for words in the item description too, so you could search for "flies" if the item generates attack flies, for example.

Oh that's really helpful, thanks!

My usual advice:

This is not as bad as it first looks. You need experience under your belt doing greed mode first. After 5 or so wins, you should get a feel for how powerful you need to be to get through Sheol/The Shop and beat Greed. Once you know that level, and you've learned Greed's patterns, you can get to a point where you can stop buying items at about The Womb and start banking money to donate. Once you start going into the Greed fight with 60-99 coins, unlocking the Keeper becomes pretty simple.

Always do the Devil Deal/Angel Room fight.

Try to step up to Greedier too. The second phase leaves coins all over the floor, you can donate more than 99 in a run that way.

Oh yeah I've been playing this on and off since the flash version so I've got a good grasp on the game. Have nearly 200 hours in it. Mostly it's because the donation machine always seems to jam whenever I actually have a good run where I can amass coins, such a stupid mechanic. I get trying to have people play different characters but man my luck is garbage and I just want to get this over with.

E2: turns out you need damage items to help you

I've not played around with the tainted characters too much but even T. Isaac's gimmick feels incredibly unfun to me. The fun of the game is piling on a billion different items and seeing where you end up. Having like 8 slots for passive items just doesn't feel like a terribly fun trade off to me, even with the extra options.

Maybe I'll take to it more now that I caved and installed the item descriptions mod. Its nice to finally know what the hell all these trinkets do at least. I hope if there ever is something like an Issac 2 they put decent item descriptions in the actual game, theres way too much content for anyone to learn and memorize this crap anymore.

You don't quite have 8, for what it's worth. If you grab an item that gives you hearts you keep them even after getting rid of it. The character is a really good way to find synergies, imo.
