I did exactly this. Also picked up the triple-shot item which meant that not only did I have a shot that took forever to charge, it was also usually pointed at an enemy that had moved on to somewhere else by the time it fired. Still managed to beat
Satan
Do you have a time stamp to this?
And I suppose their marathon is over, since they unlocked everything?

Fun begins around 46:00 and lasts a bit as he quickly becomes OP as hell.
The marathon is over but they're going back to regular hours, so between the 2 it's still a good 12 hours of isaac/whatever a day. Cobalt during the day and richard comes on usually when cobalt is signing off. Richard sounds like he'll be at cobalt's a bit longer too, so probably see races or coop stuff too.

36 runs and I've only beaten MH once. I am terrible at this. I'm really bad at dodging projectiles.
I am still a bit bewildered by most of what you go are talking about.
What's a D6 run?

D6 is an item you later unlock that's given to isaac as a starting use item. Allows you to reroll items. So if you go into an item room and hate that item you can use your D6 to change it randomly to something else.

If you keep your distance from mom's heart most of its patterns are really easy to dodge. Not sure if that's what you're stuck on though

When you say mom do you mean mom or moms heart?

Ok that actually seems doable then.

Was doing a chalenge and went for guppy when i encounterd this room.
My run is now ruined since i canot pass this room without taking damage. The middle spikes are fixed and this room is the only way to the boss
Weird, I never encountered this room. Maybe you can send a twit to spider asking him if it's a bug.
Thanks. So they are back on their regular schedule. Guessed so, but wasn't sure.
It must have been reallly exhausting for them to play in 12 hour shifts. I tried to watch every day and the struggle was real on some days.

It's a twist on some earlier """puzzle""" rooms, one where you have an actual, standable gap in the middle (pretty common), one that gives you hearts and you HAVE to take damage (only seen it once) and apparently this one which is super mean and I haven't seen before.
I hate these sort of rooms. They usually give you the items you need to get past them, but even then they're not really a challenge or interesting. Just predefined "gotta use a bomb/heart here, stupid" rooms.
ON that note, I DO like the optional "oh if you bomb these rocks in this pattern, you can get this chest/item without flying!" things, those are fun.

Oh, then that is the second room type I saw. But it's still pretty mean--the hearts are useless for Blue Baby and potentially useless for Azazel (or even normal characters with guppy's paw or other circumstances) or anyone with 1 heart container. It's on a whole other level from the "here's two bombs, use one to get to the other side" rooms.
Best part is that if you don't have a speed upgrade you take damage twice. I actually had a soul heart on my first atempt and got damaged in the middle the first time and then the second time on the last tile of spikes before the safe spot. You actually need to be fast enough to run 9+ tiles before the spikes pop back up again, since they are in snyc.

the only solution here is to bomb yourself and use invincibility frame to cross the room! But yeah, never had this room yet!
Bah, I blew such a good run. I got careless on
since I was very op and I had Curse of the Unknown so I thought I have way more than enough life to easily beat him and still have enough
. Wasn't the case sadly and I borked what should have been an easy
clear.

I don't even know how to tackle that one. Died once the first time before I even realised what was going on.
That challenge seems crazy.

Do you get a couple of frames of invincibility for using a card? Could try that. Otherwise you're screwed. I've seen this exact room happen to someone else too who was complaining about it.

Yes, Stomps count as explosions damage-wise (which is why they break rocks, deal a full heart of damage and open walls)

Oh god this game can be so damn annoying sometimes. When such a long run goes wrong it feels like such a waste of time. At least with Spelunky an average run is pretty short so it doesn't feel as soul crushing when you fail on the final boss.

Though IMO it's a lot better than it would be because you can add a lot to completion even without beating the "final" boss. I'd argue FTL is far more frustrating in that regard. The Flagship completely and utterly ruins everything I enjoy about that game

Seems like the latest patch changes this room.
Had a great run beating Satan last night. Had only one heart left, it was intense.
I had quad shot + soy milk + piercing + spider pet and some other stuff... was a great combo of abilities. Only crappy thing was my attack power was really high before soy milk, too bad I didn't get them in reverse order.

I learned this the hard way as well yesterday. It was fun for like 2 rooms and then it just became annoying trying to hit enemies that move
It is pretty shitty when a long, usually powerful, run shits the bed (i.e. (item spoiler)
I used the bible on Satan. You instantly die. Ruined my whole run in a second. Pretty sure when i did this in vanilla issac it didn't kill me instead just nothing happened

I'm certain the Bible did that in BoI. Might have been added in one of the patches/Wrath for all I know though, I got BoI late. Also, if you use The Bible too early it just doesn't hit the boss at all, I found that out with Mom once.
Yeah i dunno if it was just a matter of using too soon or what but i remember using it in vanilla thinking it would be funny if
you used this on satan and you die and i remember being disappointed that i didn't die. Then a few pages back i saw someone mention something about using the bible on satan so i thought maybe something cool happened
Speaking of which, i have a new found appreciation for dead cat. I could have swore that at some point in vanilla issac, that picking up dead cat instantly
dropped you down to one heart and 9 lives
Ah ok. I thought so. That makes sense, I've only been playing as azazel for the past few days to get some easy unlocks and everytime i've picked up dead cat i still had all my dark hearts (and soul hearts i believe) so i thought they nerfed it

The thing with ipecac+the mirror is that there are only 2 instances where a shot can hit: either at the beginning of its arc or at it's end.
The challenge is that you have to position yourself in a way that makes sure you are both close enough to hit the enemy (which is hard, because the hitbox is counter-intuitive) and at the same time be far enough so that the explosion doesn't hit you.
If you miss, you have to move to dodge your bullet AND the enemy you missed. It's especially hard against mom's heart and Isaac.
To complete the challenge, having something to replenish your hp regularly+a bunch of damage ups is crucial. In that run I also found krampus' head, but it doesn't really instakill the main bosses.
I guess Pyromaniac is the run winner in that challenge, but i don't know if you can get it outside of treasure rooms.

PS4-Vita synching is fixed. Apparently filters do not work on Vita version of the game.
Still waiting for the patch to hit EU. PS4 patch arrived some days ago so I hope it's soon.
What item combos is he using to fully recharge the Dice over and over like that?

Only thing I noticed in 1.01 on PS4 is they nerfed Dark Bum (2 hearts per soul heart, not 2 anymore) and seem to have fixed the "skipped endings" issue where they wouldn't register in the endings list if you killed mom's Heart AND a further final boss. Also the manual up/download of cross save files.
Shit what a grind. I got there once with the shovel. But that doesn't unlock shit haha
SerTapTap
Member
Eh it's not really much of a grind, you should easily unlock it while shooting for other boss kill unlocks on all your currently available characters. Worst case play Azazel and it takes like a half hour. You should be getting Devil Rooms like half the time or more, I almost never have to stop at the heart. Mom's heart seems to have a far higher chance of spawning a god/devil room.

Give me dat God/Jesus last boss.
I got a god room at one point and left to pick something else back up.
Lesson learned haha
