Well, here's the screenshot of my Brimstone+Tammy's Head run as Azazel. I believe I also had AntiGravity Tears and the one that slows enemies on hit. Sorry I was later than I said, though I doubt anyone even cares about that haha.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth |OT| Pixel Heart Mother
- Thread starter NotLiquid
- Start date
15/20 challenges completed. Not sure how to unlock #4, 7, 9, 11, or 19, but I'm sure I'll get them as I go, now that I'm back to the game proper.
It'll be nice to see item rooms again.

And I figured out another one of the runes. On use, it duplicates every item on the ground in the room.

And two new card types I unlocked along the way: "Card Against Humanity", which floods every ground tile in the room with poop (even works on 2x2 rooms!), and the Credit Card, which on use in a shop removes the prices.
Amazing how Isaac: rebirth is doing. If you count in the amount of people playing on PS4/Vita it is quite staggering
What do thirty thousand people do in an average day playing Skyrim at this point? I don't even think I want to know how people are still pulling playtime out of that game.

Because Knack is a pile... it has so many flaws you couldnt pay me to play it again.
Perfect example: dodge-lock, you are locked into dodge animation unable to move until a few seconds after the animation fully ends resulting in cheap and numerous deaths... the worst combat gameplay ever.
evidenced here:

i dont fully understand the love of isaac... but id rather have that over Knack.
Keep playing on Normal to unlock subsequent bosses and areas. Hard mode sounds like it is very difficulty, save that for later.

Don't get me wrong, I like the new music. It's different but it's good, makes the game a bit freakier. Love the new track in Sheol, boss tracks are great too.

The Sheol track sets the best atmosphere.

Ah, yeah it's definitely more consistently moody and dreary. But I would/do listen to the original just as actual music, I wouldn't with most of what I've heard of Rebirth, but maybe it'll grow on me.
Haven't gotten to Sheol (I've only been to it twice in the original actually and hadn't permanently unlocked it)

Can someone tell me which item it is that causes you to teleport on being hit some percentage of the time, because it's fucking up my life and I never want it again.

What is the exact requirements for triggering the
. I managed to trigger it when I was on a particularly good run on the game and cleared it on my first attempt (though it was insanely hectic!). I then went on and destroyed
I'm still very much getting used to the game, when I have a good run I do really well (the final boss was a pushover this time) but if I don't get some decent weapon enhancements early on I tend to struggle badly. Bar experimenting with everything to see what works are there any things I should be doing on each playthrough? I've been ignoring cursed rooms due to the damage you take entering/exiting the room plus I was never that won over by the rewards you got (most of the time I got noting worth while...
Boss Rush?

I dont see why anything should be nerfed in BoI. As items are random, it should be awesome if you get lucky and pick it up
Nerfing items defeats the purpose imo

I have a weird bug I think. On the Mac version.
When an enemy stomps down like Monstro when he lands, the screen goes black for a split second. As if the game is trying to render a shader effect and for some reason it's not working on my system, which is the top of the line MBP you can get with a pretty powerful GPU. So I'm hoping it's just a bug.
Does anyone else have this happen? I don't remember seeing it happen on BRex's stream which I am watching right now.

Nope, it's not that. I should have ruled out trinkets as I had the Liberty Cap for most of the run. Whatever I had teleported me on hit sometimes, not only when I had half a heart left, and it teleported me to all kinds of places, sometimes good ones. But when you have to start the boss over because you got hit once it's a real kick in the dick.
It couldn't have been a pill, could it?

It's hilarious though, you just know they made it because it would run like shit in Flash
Uh there's Telepills but they only work when you take them, not a random passive effect. Sounds like a new item.
I bet the development of Rebirth was so much fun for Edmund for that reason. He was so constrained for the original.

Does anybody knows what it means when ennemies have little hearts flying around their head ? It's most probably a kind of poison/slow modifier on my tears due to some items I picked but I didn't really understand how monsters were affected.
MichaelFassbender

Yeah, get it early enough in the run, and you'll never run out of full hearts after a bit.
Charmed them.

CHEATER!!!

Lol. I really wish I copied down the seed. Too bad it's not saved anywhere. Like a text file or something.
SerTapTap
Member
It should really show seed upon death too not just the pause menu, or keep recent seeds in a history.
SentryDown

That's the difficult part of the game, understanding and remembering what every item does. Personally, I always used the wiki but for now it needs to be updated with new mechanics from Rebirth.

There's a log file where your saved games are, but I'm not sure if it contains the seed in a format that you can put back into the game.

That's the idea. It was made that was intentionally so that players have to discover what the items do. You can wiki the items if you want to ignore that part of the game, but be careful! If you even have the desire to play this game as the developer wanted and explore all the discovery mechanics in the game, you cant unring the bell! I ruined that experience with the original Isaac, and Im just happy I have another opportunity.
I picked up the wiggle worm on that challenge just to see what it looked like.
In short: Chaos. Tears just appeared in random places on the screen and it looked like TV static.

:lol true
It's definitely one of the funnier challenges to start with and try out different synergies.
Still fucked as a gameplay challenge, though.

The whip worm ended up being great. I stopped playing because it was way too late and I needed sleep, but with whip worm on the tears moved fast enough to pretty much create a shield around Isaac. None of the weaker enemies could make it through, some of the stronger enemies got stuck between two layers of tears and bounced back and forth until they died.
Needed a ton of damage upgrades to even hope to have a chance later though, and I didn't want to bother with it instead of sleep. Can you continue challenge runs or will I have to start over?
I took ring worm with tiny planet, now that was nuts.
What ultimately sealed my success on that one was lucking into a Guppy set, thereby drowning the world in a swarm of ravenous locusts.
They get worse.
I think the cursed eye, or whatever it is that gives you the charged multi-tear shot, also adds the teleport on hit effect.
Pretty sure you can, yeah. Never actually done it, but on the handful of occasions where I quit a challenge outright, the Continue option was available on the menu.

Platinumgod is updating with rebirth items, but with 500+ items it may take them a while

Let alone the fact that we don't know how much of this is fact or if the items have complete descriptions. They haven't cracked the game open and looked at the equations like someone did with the original. We may never know, for sure, what every item does.
