To unlock some items, achievements/trophies and not playing ''easy mode''.
For fun? Also Judas is arguably better over the long run anyway, and Issac is definitely better once you get the D6.

Richard is going for the meat boy and bandage girl achievement and is spamming the monster manual to get it. He has like 75 followers on screen lol.

I prefer analogs with Azazel, I can change the direction without charge up the shot again.

yeah, this. Azazel is pretty OP on the early floors but if you take Isaac/Judas far enough, they'll usually end up being more powerful in the end. On some of those later bosses, you can just dump Azazel's attack on them over and over and barely chip away at their health unless you got some good upgrades.
Okay the 'R U A Wizard' pill is run ending. It's killed three runs for me now. I feel like it's too much. How's everyone doing with it?
Edit:It only lasts one screenI'm an incredible idiot
I honestly have no idea what it even does. I've gotten it several times but couldn't tell if anything happened.

it makes you shoot at 45 degree angles and sucks. also it's time-based, not screen based. I think it lasts for 30-60 seconds

he fucked himself twice with the d100 lol
What? It makes you shoot diagonally, how can you not notice lol
--
Brimstone was not working right for me because I was pressing the buttons to shoot, so he would shoot so infrequently. I didn't know you needed to manually charge him up. Fail

I hate Monstro's Lung. Seems slower than Brimstone while being less effective. And seems to ignore a lot of tear changing upgrades.
That's what it does?! I've gotten it tons of times, I guess mostly on runs where I don't have normal tears.

Same here, I suppose. I did notice shooting diagonal tears for a screen once, but wasn't sure what caused it. Glad it's not permanent at least!

Oh it's only for a room? okay, THAT'S why I haven't noticed it, I never pop unknown pills in a room with enemies.
Apparently trophies are glitched for some. I haven't noticed missing any trophies myself, but I haven't been keeping an eagle eye on them either.
Did we ever get a full changelog for v1.01 on PS4?

I've unlocked all characters and beaten Mom's heart with everyone at least once. What should I be working towards now?

To everyone saying "Goodbye 100%"
Some people have played a perfect Pac-Man game. Playing continuously for 6+ hours, not missing a single peg, not dying once, not missing a single blue ghost, not missing any fruit, you get the picture.
I give it a few months at most before somebody genuinely gets the 100%.

book of bilal is a great item to start with tho. It's just a great item period. There's not much that i'd trade it for.
My only complaint with the game so far (Vanilla issac had this same problem for a while) is that i feel like i'm running into the same suite of items quite consistently. I know unlocking more items involves playing more, putting money in the donation machine, etc but i just feel like i'm seeing all the same things even when i do unlock new stuff.
For example, you have to practically go out of your way NOT to (character spoiler)
become guppy.

I'm pretty sure there are still unlocks for beating Satan and the other "end" bosses with everyone. I think maybe the boss rush? Is that what the star is on the "bosses killed" thingy?
I've played like 20+ hours of this and I've still never been Guppy. Devil Rooms have a limited item pool though. Actually most things have a specific, narrower pool, so it can take a lot of unlocks to uniformly increase item variety.
So... any word about a fix?

There was mention of a patch along with cross save I thought. But it's apparently not v1.01? All I noticed with 1.01 is Dark Bum needs 2 hearts instead of 1
Game is unfortunately glitched when it comes to some trophies.
It's not room based exactly, it's based on time. It lasts for about 30 seconds which is more than enough time to get you killed if you use it in a bad situation

Seems like a non-issue if you always take pills outside of battle, worst case you waste 30 seconds. I always do that anyway so if I get a Bad Trip I can run back to completed rooms for hearts or something.
So glad I never have to play this with keyboard again
Once the patch hits to fix some unobtainable achievements, I think Richard/CobaltStreak will do it within a week.
Yeah i know certain items can only show up in certain places/instances but it still feels like some ore more skewed to showing up compared to others.
I do the same. I never take an unknown pill in a room with enemies or anything. For a long time i didn't even know what that pill did because i'm usually backtraking alot through rooms i've already cleared
Silly question of the day #2, how do you play as
guppy
Azazel: Make three deals with the devil in a single run
Eve: Beat two floors without picking up any hearts
Samson: Beat two floors without getting hit
Cain: Have 55 cents in your wallet
Judas: Kill Satan
Eden: Requires one Eden token every time you want to use her, Tokens are obtained by killing Mom's Heart
Those are the ones I currently have.

Most characters list their unlock condition on the character select. 3 devil deals in one run will get you Azazel. Should be easy enough, play on Normal and don't get hit when killing a boss and a devil deal feels like a >50% chance now(maybe even 75% or more). If you can stand using Maggie, she's got more health for more deals, but Isaac should get enough health items from bosses in one playthrough.
Excellent. I'll give them a go. I did try the Samson one a few times but it never seems to unlock.
I'll give that a go with the devil rooms. Shouldn't be too taxing thanks.
Dr. Fetus is a double-edged sword in this one. I got Dr. Fetus on Azazel first, but I decided to bite. Managed to score my first
clear with it. It has been massively nerfed compared to original BoI, sure, but on the other hand there is a lot more bombable objects to buff you that you can bomb to your heart's desire. I got a ton of buffs from pills from shrooms and two familiars (incl. Dry Baby!) from skulls.
Once you get a grip of the game's mechanics he's great, perfect for fast runs as you can blaze through the first few levels in no time and these levels don't need too much hp to pass.

You have to get
3 guppy items in one run to turn into guppy. Guppy is issac's dead cat and when you get the third item, your character will turn into a cat that flies and generates flies around him everytime he shoots. So if you have tears with a high rate of fire or something that fires constantly (technology 2 for example) you'll pretty much have an endless swarm of flies which makes being guppy pretty OP
To my knowledge there are 6 guppy items that you can potentially get (guppys head, guppy's hairball, guppy's collar and guppy's tail Edit: and guppy's paw and dead cat) Each item on it's own has it's own properties and uses but getting any of those 3 will turn you into guppy

Samson is bugged, it seems you can't get him at the same time as the Basement/etc Boy achievements. I did unlock him after a second (or so) perfect Basement run though. You should get him eventually, especially playing as Azazel, he makes early game very easy.
You forgot possibly the best, the Paw
I did. I guess that glitch isn't in the PC version.
You just need to collect
three guppy items in one playthrough (the items are dead cat, guppy's head, guppy's tail, guppy's paw and guppy's collar (edit: also the hairball)). Guppy gives you flight plus generates a an ally fly on every single succesful attack.

Starting to see why people complain about Nicalis ports
Thanks guys. You're totally right, it probably is the best of the bunch and i completely forgot lol
Jeez, i forgot
dead cat
guppy seeing as how you only need 3
As far as I'm aware it only works with
Guppy's Head, Paw, Tail and Dead Cat. Hairball didn't in the original and that seems to still be the case. Unsure about Collar, it hasn't worked for me unless I've missed something.

Yeah I think it only works with the actual, uh, pieces of Guppy.
Basically just look in curse rooms and try and get daels with the devil as often as you can and you'll be guppy in no time
You might be right about
the hairball but i'm fairly certain guppy's collar works with it but i could be wrong.
