Thats the seed for the game I was able to best. Got items pretty quickly. Have a go!
Every area (up to a point) has a gold room with an item. The rest is just going into special rooms like arenas. It's the risk/reward of exploring vs going to the boss right away.
There are also hidden rooms that can have items. There are two per area, you need to bomb a wall to find them. The first usually has three rooms surround it and the other only has one. You need to guess but it becomes easier to predict.

Haha, I told you! I would not cheat in this game, and if I didn't I wouldn't hide it. Not like it really matters in the first place. Just thought that combo was insane enough to share!
Thank you!
I believe that you can get the combo, I just didnt believe the gif was legit (which it isnt)
Well of course since it is from Edmunds site.

Yeah it was my mistake, I should have mentioned that when I posted originally. I didn't think people would scrutinize it much!
Yeah, I can already tell this isn't going to be good for my sleep schedule. Luckily I have this nice cup of black tea to
I beat mom for the first time, I had super strong tears but also 9 lives of one heart. The first 4 times I got halfway but never managed to dodge all projectiles/mom. The following attempt I went to the lower right corner of the room and for some reason no projectiles were coming my way / mom's foot didn't appear. Was a bit lame.
That happened to me twice now. In normal game mode. I had to Close the game.
Luckily the Continue option brought me back to the same floor.
I still love how flying items in this game heavily swing victory in your favor but still don't necessarily feel OP. Got lord of the pit in a deal with the devil in caves 2 and it was pretty much smooth sailing from there.
Does anyone know how (character spoiler)
is different from Issac? It seems both their start attributes are the same.

Had a pretty good run. Unlocked Cain, Lazarus and Azael. Had some cool items, too. But I was screwed when I came to Mom.
Through the deals with the devils I had only the blue hearts. Had the cat which gives you 9 lives but I always started with one heart when Mom beat me. Walked in took her down to half health then evaded one of the spawning enemies and then she grabbed me with her fat hand.
Will try again later. And I'm surprised that I don't play with the sticks. Now I don't know why I dismissed the original because of the keyboard controls.

I put 20+ coins into that little machine you see sometimes that you deposite coins into and it keeps. Now it looks like the machine is broken.
Not sure what I did, or what that does. Anyone know?

You're only able to deposit a set amount of coins each playthrough and the amount you've donated carries over across the playthroughs. You unlock new items and upgrade the store the higher stretches you reach.
Seems like you can put a number of coin in those until they get stuck. The total amount of money seems to stack across runs and unlocks new stuff as you donate.
I was too slow once again.

are you talking about the slot machine or the donation box? the slot machine usually gives me an item when it breaks.
Adding coins will upgrade the store., it's
10 coins
100 coins
Edit: Triple beaten. Does anyone else want to explain this? Also, I can't tell whether my new avatar is creeping me out or not.

Ah ok cool. It was the Donation box btw that is present inside the shops. I put 10 in and it gave me something, forget what though, and then put it another 10 and it broke the machine. I'll have to check today when I get home from work if the machine is still broke in my next playthroughs.
Yeah, I ninja edited my post just after I posted it, looks like I did it just before you quoted me.
I think that's how it's supposed to be, i didn't unlock Sheol and Cathedral but i've beaten both.
edit: finalow, you need to get an angel room (cathedral) or a devil room (Sheol) during that fight to continue after that. After beating
Mom's Heart
I never played wrath of the lamb (well I installed it on steam a few days before rebirth to scratch my itch waiting for it) so a lot is still new to me... but how should one go about challenges? I did a couple and they were fun and they seem to unlock stuff, but at the same time I want to keep playing the normal game to progress further... are challenges worth doing before normal runs?
also I beat
and had got ending #2 I think? unlocked
but a devil room appeared with a trap door... what would happen if I went in there?
thanks
also I beat
mom's heart
rubber cement
I assume that's how you go to sheol, if so how does that work with unlocking the item getting ending X?
thanks
My second run i got down to the depths and had 79 cents i couldn't do anything with and that's even with bum friend picking up the stuff i didn't want (i bled the slot machine and blood machine in the arcade dry a few levels earlier) so i'm like alright cool i'll dump all this in the donation box.
Fuckin box jams after 2 coins.
It won't/shouldn't be
I've played a couple of challenges as a sort of palette cleanser between runs, they're fun to play but you can get quite OP from the start in a couple so bear that in mind if you want to have a more natural build up of items.
I really don't like the achievement system for rebirth compared to the original...
there's 178 achievements and it seems like 80% of them are hidden, but that's not what I don't like.. the descriptions are basically "you unlocked an item." yeah but how did I do that? the descriptions for the original I remember being more informative..
are there still unlocks tied to beating the game with certain characters?
oh I know how they work I am just wondering if the items you unlock by completing them are handy for main runs or if they are detrimental (by being bad and adding to the item pool)
edit: how do you unlock alternative floors, I've unlocked them but have no idea how

So I had my first crash...on Sheol >< Idk how it happened, I paused, went away a few mins and the error screen was there.

Woof. Just did the boss rush room and defeated mom's heart!
I agree, the achievements should have a description like they did in the original.
I believe some items are unlocked depending on the character you use to beat
Sheol

I agree, I really liked that thing. There's quite a few things I unlocked without knowing how.
Each character unlocks a different item when beating the game (and extra levels), I think you can keep track by symbols on the character selection page. I agree it'd be nicer to know how you unlocked the different items, even if it's just for the hidden ones. I guess the reason for not being more descriptive is to keep the way of unlocking stuff a secret for longer. It'll all end up on wikis eventually though. I think you unlock floors by beating all the regular bosses from a particular area, though I might be wrong.

Oh weird, I had a headache yesterday because of it too. Never get that from video games. Hmm

Is there a guide to copying the music from the original game over to this one?

What exactly do the store upgrades do?
The first game had achievement descriptions for how you unlocked the various characters or items. Nicalis didn't add that for this version for whatever reason.
Looks like more items in the shop.
Yep
If you're a fairly competent at Vanilla issac, It shouldn't be a problem on normal.
I beat
mom, mom's heart and sheol
Happening to me too, the depths are so dark on the vita that is really strains my eyes, I get a headache if I play for an extended period of time so I've been juggling it and other games or youtube videos.
I actually have a hard time seeing 1 tile sized holes because of it and some rooms I take damage I shouldn't be. It's really rough.
