holy hell azazel is op

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Orbiting tears... so bad. I'm sure with some combination it could be good but damn.

Got the trophy for clearing womb without damage yay. That only leaves the caves for no damage run for now.

Seems some people got stuck with not able to unlock an ending. Any tips how to avoid it? I got endings 1-6 no problem for now.

Spoiler

After killing the heart the devil room that spawned had a ladder down but I was too scared to go there if that messes up something. Are all 15 endings just killing the last boss without any hoops?

The ending that some people seem to have missed is ending 4. So I don't think you will have any problems.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

well shit.
Because I died right when I killed moms heart, I don't have ending 5 and because I went to Sheol after beating moms heart, I don't have Ending 6.

So fuck.

 

[Ferrio]

On the subject of Cain:


About Brimstone:

Spoiler

Brimstone feels even MORE overpowered now: You nearly shoot at twice as fast as the vanilla BoI and the both times I had it, I nearly won. Actually, I think I beat Mom for the first time using Brimstone.

Brimstone got powered up, but brimsnapping was removed, so it's kinda evens out.

 

[BigAT]

Is the unlock for Samson buggy? I have the Basement Boy achievement for no damage but still no Samson unlock.

 

[Leezard]

I have 3 of those achievements and unlocked him only when I finished caves with no damage once more after the achievement. It appears to be weird.

 

[Willkiller]

So I beat moms heart

Spoiler

10 times, how do I get the game to progress further now?

 

[David___]

lol. Just got Polyphemus and Magic Mushroom on the first floor of a Blue Baby run.

 

[GhostRidah]

How does eden work exactly? I unlocked her last night, played and lost, woke up this morning and was going to try her again and now I need some sort of token? How do you get them?

Take on Sheol and the Cathedral. Play as all characters. Unlock extra chapters.

You need Eden tokens to play as her and you get one every time you beat Mom. Eden has completely randomized builds and start off with random items as well. The reason for the tokens is to prevent the player from trying to cheat the system by constantly restarting to get an advantageous build.

Man, the second Azazel picks up Tammy's Head, it is game over.

You get tokens for beating Mom.
Eden works by allocating random stats and 2 items at the start of a new game.

Ah ok, thanks.

 

[SerTapTap]

I just picked up a

Spoiler

gold key with a skull on it

that played an extremely ominous tune and doesn't show up as an item. What the hell was THAT? It's not on plat god. No item name or description popped up when I grabbed it.

 

[Mutley]

Just defeated Mom's heart. I absolutely love this game. It's like if crack and heroin made a baby in the form of this game.

The gold key is an unlimited key for one floor only. You can open every door and every gold chest without consuming your key stock. There will be a temporary icon displayed over your keys in the stats bar, by your bombs and coins.

It does not work for key beggar.

It's an old BoI "consumable", not really a spoiler.

You get infinite keys on that floor when you pick it up.

 

[sackninja]

Just fought mama gurdy for the first time, such a good boss in my opinion.

Beat moms heart like 4 or 5 times now. Going okay, not played a huge amount. Got platinum god in original isaac.

 

[Cbajd5]

The ending that some people seem to have missed is ending 4. So I don't think you will have any problems.

I just got 4,but didn't get 2 or 3 yet. Is it maybe because the past two times I beat

Spoiler

Mom's Heart

I went to

Spoiler

Sheol

? I think this was the 4th time I beat it.

 

[d00d3n]

how do you unlock Judas in this version?

Spoiler

I don't know, but I got him after beating Satan. So maybe after completing Sheol?

 

[CassSept]

Is the unlock for Samson buggy? I have the Basement Boy achievement for no damage but still no Samson unlock.

No damage achievements are bugged apparently, don't know if that was fixed in 1.0.1. You only need(/ed) to take no damage on the second part of the floor to get the achievement, the first part didn't factor in. On the flip side, this does not affect Samson unlock.

So you probably took some damage on Basement I and took no damage on Basement II, this way you got Basement Boy, but not Samson.

Spoiler

I don't know, but I got him after beating Satan. So maybe after completing Sheol?

That's right.

 

[Yaari]

I doubt I'll ever be good at this game haha. I hate this poo boss that swiftly moves towards you. He always hits me at least 2-3 times. Very annoying.

 

[kenta]

If my trophies aren't unlocking on PS4, do I just need to wait for the 1.0.1 patch? Or is there something else I can do to get them working?

I did a quick search and saw other people with this problem but no solutions

 

[Hyunkel6]

Got to my first Mom boss battle after 4 runs. I could have beat her if I did not go explore and lose 1/2 of my total hearts. I cried Isaac tears.

I had 3 friends with me, including Gemini and Maggy.

 

[mnz]

Is there a reason why there's apparently not a single review of BoIR out there?

 

[Finalow]

Is the unlock for Samson buggy? I have the Basement Boy achievement for no damage but still no Samson unlock.

yeah it is, took me quite some time to unlock him even if I did some runs with no damage taken.

 

[Lazyslob]

id say im "decent" at this game but that damn poop boss hits me everytime

 

[IAmRandom31]

Just got an item called eternal life. Now my health bar has a 1x? Next to it.

Id say I'm set for this run lol

 

[hillsighed]

My wife LOVES watching me play this game lol

 

[bronk]

I got an item that made me teleport to a random room everytime I got hit. I couldnt finish the game because everytime I got hit in boss room I got teleported out. :'(

 

[electroflame]

I got an item that made me teleport to a random room everytime I got hit. I couldnt finish the game because everytime I got hit in boss room I got teleported out. :'(

Solution: don't get hit!

Spoiler

Also, yeah, that's pretty hard unless you end up with a super OP build.

yeah i forgot what the items name is but its a crystal eye that charges shots and shoots like 4 in a row. that item is a total run killer

 

[bronk]

My build was horrible with a charge shot that made it more difficult. :'( and yea dont get hit doesnt apply to lame ol me haha

 

[SerTapTap]

Just had these amazing tears and almost no hearts. Sadly I lost to red champion mom. The game's enemy RNG hates me tonight but the item RNG loves me.

Ohhh, guess I've never gotten it before.

 

[Ferrio]

Dingle is by far the most annoying new boss.

 

[Finalow]

edit/I find the Haunt harder than Dingle. Dingle is actually quite easy, watch his face and when he slides towards you just run around him.

I got much better at this game now, I wasn't even able to finish Mom's heart in the original one. might be that I'm liking this one much more and that I'm also playing it a lot more, or might be that the original lacked Azazel. in any case, I think that someday I'll go back to play the first game and finish it properly.

 

[Astral]

Ok I get the game now. It clicked and it's awesome. I just realized I could've unlocked Azazel. Fuck.

 

[Ferrio]

You guys will forget Azreal once you unlock the D6. Isaac OP.


Glad the dark bum was nerfed, sad at the same too. He was the insta carry.

 

[CassSept]

Aaand when I complain that I can't get Ludovico technique I get Ludovico technique. With pretty sizable shielded tears and 12 normal hearts. I almost got Dark Boy but got an impossible room with my build, I was very slow and I came across a room with blue spikes, bah.

Also had a champion boss rush, that was pretty fun and hectic. I love the addition of boss rush, I really do, it's insane.

Just had these amazing tears and almost no hearts. Sadly I lost to red champion mom. The game's enemy RNG hates me tonight but the item RNG loves me.

Unless it was changed, KEEP MOVING left-right and shoot tears in the other direction, red champion mom is the one that only keeps on stomping very fast right>?

edit/I find the Haunt harder than Dingle. Dingle is actually quite easy, watch his face and when he slides towards you just run around him.

I actually agree, I found Dingle very frustrating at first but once I got his pattern (KEEP MOVING when he smiles, wait for three slides, spam tears) he got pretty easy quickly.

 

[MUnited83]

Asking again: how do you drop trinkets on the Vita?




Edit: Damn. I was having a wonderful run with Isaac that seems that it's now completely broken. When trying to enter the boss room the game crashes(the boss room is also one area before where the supposed boss area is listed on the map.

 

[SerTapTap]

You guys. The Boss Rush. That was insane. I never even fought half of those bosses before. Thank god I was playing Azazel. That was super intense.

 

[JJD]

You guys will forget Azreal once you unlock the D6. Isaac OP.

He was nerfed??? How?

That sucks...

Quad Scythe shot

Edit: lol I'm one shoting enemies in the Womb

 

[SerTapTap]

I'm 95% sure Samson is bugged on PS4

Unless it was changed, KEEP MOVING left-right and shoot tears in the other direction, red champion mom is the one that only keeps on stomping very fast right>?

I think she used to, but this one only MOSTLY stomped, it still did other stuff.

 

[Kaybe]

Asking again: how do you drop trinkets on the Vita?

Seconding this. Select does nothing.

I also encountered this:

Literally the spinning barrel from Sonic 3. I thought I had to restart, couldn't get out until I tried pressing up and down.

 

[Ferrio]

Just had Spoon Bender + Rubber Cement, fun combo.

He was nerfed??? How?

That sucks...

Doesn't always drop a soul heart. Seems to be like every 2 hearts.

 

[David___]

Pretty sure you need to hold select down to drop stuff.

Probably "Just one more run and I'll write that review..."
