I played a little of the original Isaac but was never that into it but I got gifted Rebirth for Christmas and I've been having a blast. I've been watching some Rebirth lp's and noticed no one ever uses those rooms with spikes in the middle that give you items. Any particular reason why? Also is there some trick to unlocking Cain? I've got 3 mom heart kills but the most pennies I've ever had at once is 48.

Does taking Limp of Coal/ Krampus's Head count as taking a Devil Room deal or do I have to leave them if I want to get Angel Rooms in the future?

I just had an amazingly broken run tonight. brimstone. Anti grav, homing shots, abadon, the pact, small rock, chemical peel and crickets head. All I had to do was drop a single anti grav homing brimstone shot and every thing just melted. I beat Mega Satan without takin a single hit, just hung out towards the bottom and nonchalantly dropped concentrated death. Killed his final form in 2 shots. I was really surprised you don't unlock anything for beating Mega Satan.

There should be an official "SPEEDRUN" seed full of nothing but speed down items and those skulls that you can only shoot when they pop up and fire at you and Skrollex boss fights.

BoI Rebirth will be released for XBone on July 23

Also this is a new store item


It forces double treasure rooms, but without it there's still a small chance to get a double treasure room.


Are those a new addition or have there always been double treasure rooms? I've never seen one in all my hours of playing .

The Void/Delerium is the new hidden path. Though apparently the gate to the Void is only a random chance to appear after any major boss post-Mom, including Mega-Satan but excluding Hush, who always makes it appear.

I was watching some Northern Lion streams and he keeps getting these boss doors that take 2 keys, 2 bombs, 2 spirit hearts etc. How you do you access those?

So I finally got a decent run together with the Lost to fill out his Post It. All I had left was Mega Satan. Not a single Angel Room gave me any damage upgrades, just soul hearts and white hearts. I get to the Chest with Curse of the Unknown. Hoping to get at least one damage upgrade I blindly grab all 4 items. Dunce Cap, Soy Milk, Guppy's Paw and Lunch. I hate this game sometimes.

that ivy guy posted:

You can adjust item pools yourself with the "IsaacItemPoolEditor" in the "tools" folder, removing or adding things to pools, assigning higher weights to good items, etc. By default I think everything is weighted 1 except Mega which is 0.2 (5 times rarer).
To use it you extract the game resources (also available the tools folder) and open itempools.xml in the pool editor app.

Thanks, I had no idea this even existed!

gotta say, not a fan of azazel in greed mode. it gets tiresome clearing hordes with his chargeup mechanic, his flying is less advantageous cause there are no hazards on the floor or pits, or really much collectibles to get behind rocks. the lack of rocks to bust means you dont get as many spirit hearts. he's still decent, but if i focus on buying health stuff I end up with not enough damage to take down ultra greed before i die, and if I focus on damage i just die fast.

Azazel was the hardest for me in Greed Mode until I got Placebo and a range up pill on the first floor, so after awhile I basically had a free Brimstone. Trying to kill Ultra Greed with Azazel's lovely rear end range was infuriating.

attention: i unlocked godhead

now when do I get to use it

I've only ever seen it when I pick up chaos. Angel Rooms in general just suck, I only seem to get like 2 eternal hearts or something useless like the void.

Just had one of the most insane damage runs I've ever had. I started as Eve, got IV Bag on the first floor, then Bloody Lust, Money Is Power, Steven, Cricket's Head and Dead Eye and finally Lusty Blood. By the time I got to Hush my damage stat was sitting at 45 before I even started using IV Bag, Dead Eye or Lusty Blood. I melted that giant blue piece of poo poo in under a minute, it was glorious.

Dear Isaac thread,

I never thought it would happen to me, but it did. Barely a few pages back I complained about GodHead literally never showing, even though I've been to hudreds of Angel Rooms. Well there I was on Depths 1 with a Diplo I had been carrying for 2 floors , after getting nothing but lovely Devil Rooms ( 3 red chests full of spiders and one with Brother Bobby) I beat Mega Rag Man and an Angel Room with God Head! So I use my Diplo and get a double God Head head. The next floor I get Trinket Smelter and Cancer, which knocks my tears down to 3. I also had Spilt Milk so any time I got hit my tears went down to 1. I cleared out boss rush in under 2 minutes. It was insane .

The forgotten is my favorite character now, but I hate using the soul unless I'm picking up spike/tile blocked items or I'm almost dead. Little melee bone dude is just so much more fun.

Also super hyped for this Antibirth/whatever it's called expansion. Was ready to tackle one of the other 30 unplayed games in my Steam library but oh well lol

I love walking into a lovely basement boss like Rag Man or The Haunt and just bashing the poo poo out of the with the club. It's so cathartic after having try and take them out with base damage and tear speed.

Been trying for the last several nights to get a full bandage girl. What is the best strategy for that? I never seem to get a bandage ball with Lilith and with Isaac I double popped monster manual at least 25 times in a room in the womb and only got the third stage of bandage girl. That's the closest I've gotten.

This might have been patched out but I got it when I had a level 3 bandage girl and then used Lillith's familiar item.

Had something really odd happen last night. I got the Basement 2, and just as the level loaded my Devil Room percentage went immediately from 100% to 0%. I hadn't even moved yet, let alone taken damage. It was impossible for me to even take damage since I was in an empty room. It happened again when I loaded into Depths 2, my percentage went from 36.6% to a straight 0%. Again, I took no damage and hadn't even moved yet.

I don't think it was the items I had, on the first floor all I got was Lunch Meat and Camo Pants. has this happened to anyone else?

If they keep level curses in Isaac 2 I hope they change them up a bit. As they are now curses only serve to mildly annoy to outright infuriate you. It would be great if you got a curse there was a higher chance of a devil room or curse rooms having items. Maybe add floor blessings to even things up, like all pills are identified for one floor or having all the secret rooms be open. I also think there should be a Krampus type enemy for Angel Rooms. Like Santa should have a percentage of replacing Angel Rooms but you don’t fight him, he just gives you like 3 free items.

What’s the consensus on Soy Milk? Lots of people hate it but I think it has some of the best synergies in the game. I had a Soy Milk and Dead Eye run the other night that just absolutely shredded Hush. After the first three tears hit the damage modifier went bonkers.After firing for 2 seconds I was doing about 4.7 damage per hit with a tear rate of one. Common Cold was is amazing too, it’s great seeing 200 tears sticking to a boss all doing DOT damage.

If you're having trouble (like I was) filling out the Angel Room items for your postcard a good trick I found was doing Greed Mode and refusing any devil room items so you can get an automatic Angel Room. Took me about 7 runs but I finally got my post card all filled out!
