Seriously? I'm grinding my head into the ground doing hard runs with him and that doesn't even sound feasible. Perhaps I should just try for that, and hopefully get lucky rushing.
I just had another great run obliterated. First pickup was the D6! Halo in the secret room! Battery on sale in the store, bought that, triggered the D6 and bought steam sale too. And this was just the first floor! And then the boss room was a double monstro, and their very first big jumps got me with a crossfire blood spray (I was also being chased by initial spawn grunts). Argh. Who dies to Monstro? I haven't in ages... until an epic hard
run in the making, of course.
And they want me to
this? Whoever thought of
should be gently beaten with a stick.
No. But if your explosive diarrhea blows one of the other bombs straight at you... normally very avoidable. Until you're having a great run with him, in which case the game will find stupid ways to kill you.
Well. Not only did I just get to Mom for the first time, but I also died to her 9 times in a row.
Fuck you 9 Lives. Fuck you Dead Cat.
Never. Ever pick up the Dead Cat.
Thankfully, not that it mattered, I had an item that also made me gain a Soul Heart when I got hit the first time so I ended up having 2 hearts for each run. But I just wasn't powerful enough I guess. I had a shitload of stuff though. All kinds of things. Before I got that Dead Cat I had 5 hearts, 2 Soul Hearts and half a Devil Heart. I also had the 99 bombs item. The mask that decreases damage, A Goat Head, Guppy's head and Holy Water. Unfortunately all my excess hearts didn't last long before I actually got to the room.
Sucks that boss health regenerates when you leave the room. That's stupid and it shouldn't be that way. But whatever. At least the rocks in the room don't come back when you blow them up.
Also thankfully I didn't get Gurdy this run. That motherfucker is a run ender for me.
Dead cat is awesome with plenty of setups. By itself, debatable. With any source of soul/black hearts, it's fantastic. If bosses didn't regain their health it would be beyond ridiculously exploitable on normal.
Not when boss health resets upon death and you only get 1 heart per life. I'd rather have kept my 7 1/2 hearts I had.
Now I'll know for next time. Especially if I'm on the last level. Just once would I like to kill Mom.... then 9 more times after that. Just 10 times please. Plus more.
In a day or two, mom will feel like a cakewalk. Then the real BoI begins.
Nah I like the gamble when picking up stuff. It can be devastating but most of the time it's fine.
Curse of the Maze is way worse. It just makes navigating the map tedious.
Curse of the Maze is awesome. If you've got two rooms facing a locked door (store or treasure room, for example) you can keep going in and out of the other two rooms and it'll eventually jump you in the store w/o a key.
Since I mostly play on hard, where keys are rare, I prefer curse of the maze over no curse because of that. Now, darkness sucks. Can barely see my screen.
