The best part about that? It gives you Bloody Tears.
When I saw richard hammer do it, the "Breakfast" item would just keep coming up (had like 7 of them in one room). Game started to chug, then he entered the devil room and the game went BOOM soon as he walked in. So stuff gets wonky, think it only crashed cause of the Satan glitch.

Lol I got 99 bombs then got a ??? Pickup, used it and it was Bombs are Key. Now I have 99 keys lol
I always pick it up thinking its Common Cold :/
i started doing this, got it 3 times in a run and i dont even have a d6.
screw the charged shot too, sucks so hard and requires you to hold the button.
Same, I think gemini is the one doing it for me. Heard you have to kill it twice, one time for each part first. Not sure if that's true or I misheard.
Oh fuck no. Great, more Egoraptor random screaming.
and two boss rooms lolI had Ludovico with my second Azazel run. Azazel is already easy enough but that was just hilarious. Was a spinning controllable constant halo of brimstone..

Explosive shot+parasite. Never again.
In some rooms it's like launching a nuke.

I agree with this. If they are bad, they are only going to affect you once. If they are good you will be able to take advantage of them every time you find it.

So... question to the long time players.
I'm new to BoI, but have been playing on my vita since it came out.
I've beaten
and have beaten 15 of the challenges (worst was probably the cat one, though beans and satellite sucked too. the other 5 i haven't unlocked yet, but i did purist.)
Anyway... is there a 'checklist' of things I need to be doing to unlock stuff? Like, do I need to go beat the game with every character? Is there anything I should be focusing on? I've just been playing w/o any real focus on progression, with the exception of beating challenges as I unlock them, but I feel like now I need to start going through and intentionally unlocking things... but I don't know where to start.

I've beaten
Mom a ton of times, and Mom's Heart at least 3 times

Got a f'in army with me this time. Got an item called Challenge that shot me straight to Mom and now I got this thing for a gift and man, think I'm set.
Controlled shot is actually really freakin good. Especially for bosses that like to be stationary.
Further progress entails beating
the heart
There's a checklist sorta on the character selection screen. On the notepad on the left when you have character selected, it'll show symbols. Each symbols is the main objectives you've cleared with that character. They are
Mom/Heart/Dark Room/Chest/Boss rush. If the symbols are black you've done it on normal, if red you've done it on hard.
so uh... what is this room?
it required two keys to get into.
it required two keys to get into.
Finally took down Satan. Haven't unlocked Sheol permanently yet but I had a Devil room after Mom's Heart and I figured Brimstone+Triple Shot+Lil' Brimstone+various DMG and stat upgrades would enough to take him on, plus I had an Emperor tarot card tucked away so I didn't have to bother with the rooms in Sheol. Feels good.
Almost a terrible run with Samson, but ended up beating Sheol anyways.
Ipecac + Rubber Cement, the exploding balls would bounce off of the walls and then explode onto me. I got real defensive with the converter and had 11 hearts by the time I hit Sheol, with all the damage I was doing I ended up two shotting all the bosses.
One of the more frustrating things about this version are the lack of descriptions on the ahcievements. Now there is no way to easily keep track of what bosses I have beaten with what characters. I think I have beaten Sheol with the majority of the characters at this point due to the use of the devil room after Mom's Heart. I think I actually just unlocked Sheol proper after that run.

You sure about that? It's at the character select screen. There's a piece of paper to the upper left of the character select screen. A heart means you've beaten the heart, an upside down cross means you've beaten Shoel and a regular cross means you've beaten Isaac. There are probably more symbols but I haven't unlocked them yet.
Not quite right.
Heart = Heart
Cross = Isaac
St. Peter's Cross = Satan
Star = Boss Rush
Bottom Left = Chest (???)
Bottom Right = Dark Room (The Lamb)
Cross = Isaac
St. Peter's Cross = Satan
Star = Boss Rush
Bottom Left = Chest (???)

Cobalt has a pretty awesome hard mode The Lost run going. Currently at Womb 2.

Ton of defensive items.

for some reason my ps4 stream is still awful when watching it from twitch. super bad quality or just black screen. I just want to know WHY

I unlocked D6 but in the run after that mistakes were made and I died in Sheol. good waste of 40 minutes
it misses the target A LOT and the chances of self-damage are very high. the only time when you could get it is when you have that item that makes you immune to explosions.

how do you play for that challenge? Iirc (just tried it once) you can't shot tears at all, can you still get them with some items or you just hope to get familiars?
yeah, Bob's brain is garbage. I picked it up in my last run but I actually didn't want to, lol.

With controlled shot and all those blue flies circling me that went out in a stream and attacked anyone around I beat Satan in maybe 20 seconds or so. Was so easy
Ended up filling both rows of health with red hearts and getting a Book of Belial that run, so easy peasy. Beat Satan for the first time and unlocked Judas, then took down Satan again on my first try as him. Which unlocked Blue Baby, here we go D6!
Well if you're good with orbitals then it shouldn't be hard. I'm not myself, but lucked upon a dark bum and brimstone baby./
Sure there are multiple ways, but some key items:
Habit is a must. Any battery type items also nice. Bloody penny, piggy banks, and relic to keep you in a steady supply of hearts. That should be enough to do it.

Has Edmund said anything about why they decided to get rid of blue hearts basically stacking infinitely? loved doing that.
Thanks for this post, didn't notice that for some reason, been keeping track of which chars cleared what in my head.
There was a blog post about it long long before rebirth came out.
Cobalts at the chest on hard mode as the lost... holy shit. And he beat it.
Just breaks the game. If you have >12 hearts, you don't really have to worry about losing at that point.
Bob's Brain is garbage.

Anyone else encountered the secret room where you need to fight every boss in the game yet ? I did it quite easily, just lucky my character was way overpowered at the time. I think it was a secret room off Depths II iirc I didnt get it on my original run, but on my seeded run I discovered it

What is D6?
An item you unlock that Isaac starts with. Allows you to reroll items. So if you see a shit item you can reroll it and hope for something better. Unlock it by beating isaac with the blue baby aka ???
The best active item in the game. You get to re-roll any item from the shop/boss/devil and or angel room/treasure room every 3 room clears. Isaac starts with it once you unlock it.
