If the seeds don't have mulliboom, you probably don't have the cellar unlocked yet.
And the most likely culprit for that is you have never killed Gemini small-head first.
EDIT: To check, the Cellar is secret #86.

Alternatively, did you try to switch between Hard and Normal when using the seeds?
Some seeds only work in one or the other.

Oh yeah, http://edmundm.com/ updated with a TON (several pages) of fan art, tons of great stuff. A lot of it is surprisingly cute.

I was on a Maggie boss rush run and ended up with boomerang tears, chocolate milk, toxic tears, psyths, and a hefty damage stat. A fully charged shot fills up about 2/3 of of a regular room and then returns usually hitting the rest of the room. Seeing a ginormous psyth clear a room in about one second is why I'm still enjoying the hell out of this game.
Tell me about it. I imagine we won't see the current patch at all and will have to wait for the next one, whenever that may be.

Afterbirth is the best name they could have picked. Changes sound good.

You can do it! What's getting you killed, any common mistakes? Isaac is a constant learning process, but sometimes you need to look up stuff on plat god/a wiki to understand what you're not getting

The only enemies I hate now are the walking Host enemies, I never know what will trigger them to show themselves.

Just stop shooting them, hitting them generally resets their attack timer (which is still random). Just hover close to them without letting them touch you and they'll eventually fire. They do seem a lot less predictable than normal Hosts which is annoying.
To my best knowledge it has to do with two factors: can they shoot you and are you shooting at them.
Wait, you can use Jera in the shop to get shop items for free? I never knew that. Not that it's the most useful way to use the rune, but still.
I've pretty much stayed out of this thread to avoid spoilers, but I had to pop in to voice something that's very much on my mind after a recent failed run:
Fuck Mega Fatty.
Am I just slow, or is his jump attack pretty much impossible to avoid? Sometimes there's a decent pause between when he leaps and lands, but sometimes he lands a split second after leaving the screen, leaving me zero time to actually dodge. It almost feels like a bug, since there aren't really any other enemies that have attacks that are as difficult to avoid.
Otherwise, though, I think I'm coming towards the point where I'm feeling like I'm coming close to "finishing" the game. I've also been staying off the wiki to avoid spoilers, but I'm assuming that there's nothing more to do beyond beating
with all the characters on Hard, correct? I've already done it on Easy, and beaten
with a few characters, but it doesn't seem like the game keeps track of who you beat him with.
According to the item screen, there's still a few items that I've yet to see, and there's still a few secrets that have yet to unlock, so I guess I'll see what happens once I'm done with Hard.

The easiest way to avoid it is to just keep moving during the entire encounter.

Some of his hops are extremely short, but like almost all jump attacks, his target is wherever you are the moment he starts the jump, so just keep moving.
And no, you're pretty much done, there are a few random unlocks you might have missed, you need to beat Mom's Heart in hard with everything, then beat everything on hard with Super Awful Secret Character that I'm not entirely sure you're aware of. I think avoiding spoilers is futile for that one, it's a bullshit "secret" that was never possible to discover on your own anyway. Also it's terrible game design beyond that but, we've covered that before.
Aside from the secret character, you get nothing for beating hard mode past the Heart. I'd just look up the unlocks honestly. The ones I missed were mostly stupid crap.
Well, according to the character select screen, I've unlocked everybody, unless there's something else that I'm missing. I figure that once I've completed all of hard mode with everybody, I'll see what I'm missing and come back to see if anybody feels like giving me sublte hints as to what to do next.
You only have to beat Mom's Heart on Hard to unlock stuff, though? That's weird, considering that the other things unlocked stuff on Easy. I have noticed that I've been unlocking items by doing that, but I don't think I've found a single one yet

I had a dream last night that i had blank card, chaos card, 9volt and sharp plug.
all those poor bosses...
also, this dlc sounds amazing. i can't wait. i've just about beating everything with everyone on hard, aside from the lost who i have done nothing with. once i do that i suppose i'll grind it out and bang my head against some lost runs.
ps. anyone know what the current version of rebirth is? i'm just curious because it's hard to tell when my vita updates. i'm on v1.3 right now.

On European PS4 we're still on v1.1 last I checked.

1.3 is Best Version. That's the current US Playstation version, and it still includes the Seed Exploit, a fair amount of the fixes, but still has broken hard mode. If you want to cheese out The Lost (hint: you do) I'd do it now.
PC is on a higher version and they're apparently going to bring some new version to PS soon. Nicalis confirmed this when asked about the EU patch

This sounds hilarious
1.05, apparently, but the PlayStation 4 port is still stuck on earlier versions (1.03 and 1.01, depending on which PSN store you're using).

Finally, they realized item pools being depleted is a problem! And yeah, sounds great, I wanted something like that--an option to have a non-depleting Missing No as a seed

edit: 5. High Rule: start with moms knife + trinity shield + boomerang
clever
There should also totally be a mom transformation, with the amount of mom items in the game. (wig, eye, contacts, key, knife, perfume, lipstick, coin purse, underwear, bra, toenail...) I mean they made the Guppy transformation by getting 3 out of 6. Surely there's something they can do with all the mom items.

Missingno runs are still the most fun way to play the game, so that will be awesome.

Enter a seed, exit out to the save select, go back to the game and start a run like normal. You'll be using the seed you put in but it'll act like a normal random run. Was disabled post 1.3, but basically use a Holy Mantle seed for The Lost and everything's peachy.
...by everything's peach I mean still extremely hard, but it's doable and random bullshit won't kill you, your own incompetence might though. Also, you can use curse rooms!
You can also do it to get item completion...I strongly recommend doing that, as randomly getting all the items is a huge pain in the ass and requires no skill, all patience.

Yeah but the problem is that that will fix the seed glitch meaning meat boy will still be a bitch to get.

If you just want to say "fuck The Lost" use this seed.

Holy Mantle first item room, 20/20, both Cricket items, Guppy, several damage ups. It's basically impossible to die.

Wow. The seed I had was pretty good, but still a solid challenge. I posted it somewhere in this thread, it has good but not super OP items, daddy's love, high damage normal-ish tears, enough to get you to the end but nothing super crazy. Died maybe 20 or so times in it while getting all unlocks. I just wish I could play proper random floors with The Lost and Holy Mantle, might actually be interesting then. The only problem with my seed fun-wise is eventually you know what's coming, so it's a bit boring but eh, better than trying 40000 times

oh that sounds great, it'll save me the trouble of canceling out of bad seeds till i found mantle anyways. thanks for the tip.

... they're gonna make me complete the game with the extra content with the Lost again, aren't they?
Thanks, I'll try this one later tonight. I have everything done except bosh rush with The Lost.
Yeah playing with a seed more than a couple times pretty much kills all the enjoyment for me, that's why when I did the Lost stuff I collected a bunch of good seeds from here and reddit without looking at what they entailed, and did a round robin of them a few times and got most of the stuff done while still enjoying the randomness. The most annoying part was having to enter in the seeds again after checking curse rooms on the first floor.
