If you take an item you'll get other items...but...I'm sure you can't get Brimstone or anything very good anyway. Maybe The Nail if you're lucky (or are DD/item room/etc rooms fixed in challenges?)

Sooo is this an impossible room or what?
All the spikes raise up in a rhythm except for the two you see are raised. They are permanent. I'm Eve with 9 lives with 1 heart, and everytime I touch the spikes it kills me instantly. I have no way to go over the hole in the middle or over the spikes.
The fuck?

I posted a similar room layout not far back in the thread:
This wasn't optional, either. It was a chokepoint room on the way to the level boss. At the time I had the exact same thought as your situation, "what if I only had half a heart?"
Total BS. I hope this sort of "no win" layout is fixed in a patch.

Wouldn't it be possible to dodge them by aggroing the top two to attack then running to the side quick? Not impossible to not take damage but can't say I'm a fan of the room design either.

That one should be removed, if you have a single heart or less it's a guaranteed loss. Just because hearts are provided for the damage you take doesn't make up for it.
Finally did it. Got nothing special either, only extra damage I got was little steven. Ugh, I'm glad I'm done with that shit.
There is no aggroing the top two. There is a pit at the top and bottom of the screen, with only a single square width tile at the doors to walk in and out of. They just sit there waiting for you to walk past them.

Oh my mistake I thought there was two squares of space at the top, then yeah that's just... bad as well.
Yep that room and the 4 gravity wells room needs to be removed. Both can cause impossible win cases.

Coop isn't worth it unless you're both experts.
The game has quite a bit of disturbing imagery. Poop, gore, dead babies, lot of religious content.
I'm getting really annoyed at Nicalis/SCEE for completely neglecting the Vita EU update. Its been out for a week now in NA and it has yet to hit EU. PS4 version is updated, but all this time I cant work on my save on the vita when away from home because of the cross save being broken on the Vita which is fixed in the new update.
Please for the love of fuck, update Vita version already.

Anybody else having sound issues with the Vita version? It only started a couple of days ago for me, but now the game's audio will get all messed up after playing for a while. And it'll only go back to normal after I close the game entirely and then restart.
What happens is, there's no music. And the effects are all weird - for example, when I pick up a coin, it sounds like a poop gets destroyed. Stuff like that.

Yeah happens to me too sometimes. I also had a bug where sprites would get mixed up and a "gambling beggar" would always appear in front of the donation machine.
Yeah same here. I guess that's what you get for buying a NIcalis game in EU. I don't really care who is responsible, this thing just shouldn't happen. I saw Tyrone asking Shahid for help to publish the patch in EU on twitter, so it seems there are some problems.

Yup. Considering NA got it AFAIK at the same time as PS4 I can only imagine that the EU guys entirely forgot that there are 2 versions of the damn game.
Sad thing is the save synching worked just fine before patch for me when the servers were up

It's been removed already in the PC version.
The gap in the middle was replaced by a a red poop, which takes skill to get around.

You're guaranteed to get one on the second floor if you don't take red heart damage on the entire floor and the boss (losing soul hearts is fine). YOu'll hear a sound effect and a door opens in the boss room after you defeated the boss. After that there's a certain chance to get one but the biggest factor is always to not recieve any red heart damage,
Ok cool. That seems pretty hard but I see tons of my PSN buddies unlocking him like crazy. Didn't know if there was a trick to it.
I just did an eve run for ??? and it went okay ish.
Common Cold, Toxic Waste, Poison Touch and a couple of HP up and the Holy shield.
Got Fetus in a Jar, which was a boost, but still pretty weak. Became Guppy right after, which of course, do not work Fetus in a Jar. Got Grampus Head so that helped. Died once on Isaac from some weird thing, but I had the collar that saved me. Got a Joker card that allowed me to get Demon baby for fly generation from my familiar
Came back, killed Isaac. Did the chest and I cleared it. I ended up with Poop Bomb, Incendary Bombs, Poison Bombs, Mega Bomb and Dead Onions that made by bombs go through enemies. ??? was pretty easy I would say.
Not hyper powerful, but for a Fetus run, it was the best I could have hoped.

Wow that seems like incredible bad luck. They spawn for me 60-70% of the time when I beat a boss without taking damage. I love the rooms with double devil deal as well. I unlocked Azazel after just 2 levels.
If I am supposed to be seeing them after I beat a boss its most likely my fault. I just grab items and jump down. Never thought to look for them.
yup you're prompted by a unique chime then they open up in the boss room.
Listen out for sound triggers after you beat each boss as well. If a devil room spawns you should hear an effect. This helps if you're on a floor with darkness.

The numerical unlocks (e.g. beat Mom's Heart X amount of times) stack with every character used. The only character sensitive things are certain item unlocks (i.e. you have to beat basically all of the main bosses with every character at least once).

Solar System should've ended at Mom imo. How is Family man?
I found Demon Baby a few floors in, so it was quite easy for me. I could see it being difficult if you get bad drops though.
Found my first Boss Rush room last night. I beat it! Here's the video:

I still died to Mom's Heart though. My 'win streak' sits at -54.

If you want to record and send on youtube, just use Windows Movie maker. It's simple and work. Far from Good, but for simple stuff like that, it should work perfectly.

96 unlocks! Almost only the boss kill stuff to go. I dread Maggie and some of the challenges the most, not to mention anything to do with (secret character)
Wha--those are super easy compared to half of even the basic, unlocked from the start challenges
Oh goodness.
Hate to tell you but you're no where near as close to "done" as you might think

Just had an insanely strong and fun run that unlocked me Cain, Maggy and Eden.
Two words: Azazel + Ludovico. (and also Gemini, Converter, Sad Bombs, Humbleing Bundle, Contract from Below, Robo-Baby 2.0, etc.)

Don't worry that's fantastic news. The more the merrier.
I'm the first to admit I'm really bad at the game, but I love it.
I've only tried them once so far. I ended up with horrible drops in Head Trauma, and don't like using bombs/the bean. Did you mostly just run through rooms for the Beans challenge?

I'm jealous of people finding crap like this. I was Guppy for the very first time last night and was so hilariously OP and late in the run I didn't even get to see almost any flies spawned (I had the Knife too). I've gotten very few of the crazy combos people mention in here, though I've still had some crazy runs. It's amazing how many crazygood combos there are this time around.
Dr. Fetus SUCKS though, holy crap. It's fun to open doors but it's almost impossible to kill anything past The Womb with the awful damage it deals, not to mention how horrifically unsafe it is if you try to use more than one bomb on screen at a time to stack damage.
Head Trauma is annoying but most bosses aren't too hard with it. The worst part of my run was waiting like a full minute or two in one impossible room for the failsafe to kick in (if you can't kill enemies the doors eventually open). Normal enemies are more annoying to kill than bosses (with a few highly mobile exceptions like Horsemen) due to their predictable patterns and large hitboxes. RIP if you get Gurdy Jr though.
The poop bombs damage all enemies on screen, so Beans is not really that hard. Though in almost all challenges I rush to the boss because there's no item rooms anyway. I didn't bomb doors for the most part, though I'm sure it's a fairly valid strategy. I did always go for secret/supersecret rooms though. I only lost that one because I immediately got a "bombs are key" pill in my first run.
Didn't know that, cool!

Yeah it's a pretty nice effect--it also stuns them, making it easier to place a bomb right next to more annoying/higher health foes. I usually drop one bomb at the start of a room, then use a targeted bomb on any high-HP survivors, then use The Bean to clear up any single stragglers.
I think that one ends at Mom's Foot so it's over before you know it
