Yeah...don't do that. I don't know what the exact logic is because sometimes the door stays open, but definitely never go into a devil/god room before you're ready to use it. I missed out on Mom's Knife once because I went into the devil's room before picking up the HP up item the boss dropped.
She doesn't kill him. He hides himself in his chest and she's legitimately out looking for him under the assumption he ran away. Whether or not she's actually even murderous is up for debate. The ending for clearing the chest hints at the real story, and is some of the only hard truth we're given compared to almost everything else being a product of Isaac's imagination. Once you've cleared the chest, there's a writeup here that does a good job of explaining the game's overall metaphor.
Unlock the Polaroid by killing Isaac a bunch.
Unlock the D6 by killing Isaac with ???.

Enemies are considered to be pretty tall, independently of what size their actual sprite is. As long as you fire straight on, my experience was that the actual collision point of the shot arc didn't matter.
200, IIRC.

Eh, not in my experience, if I am just a bit too far away the shot would just go over the enemy's head. Bosses being the only possible exceptions.

Ok, I have to stop picking up Bob's brain.
I damage myself more than the enemies with that thing.

If you got Pyromaniac it's really great tho.
It's basically a death sentence for vanilla azazel with no upgrades. Unfortunately both poison shot and bob's brain look very similar.
Thanks.
Anyone know what the (item spoiler)
satanic bible does? I brought it down to sheol to use against satan thinking it would be an instant kill but that didn't happen although i'm not sure what it did exactly
I had the Dr Fetus + Bob's Brain combo. I can confirm that it is fucking awful.

If I got Pyro I probably don't need the help. But yeah, if I already have Pyro a lot of suicidal items become great. Won't pick it up in hopes I get pyro though, only seen it once.
Nice try, but the Bible only works because
it kills mom in the cutscene
Yup, thanks.
Can anyone suggest them to make some toggles of effects for the Vita version. It could help with the framerate problems some people are having.
Well, like 30% of the time i shoot bombs i shoot one out of my ass and i blow myself up. At least i got wafer and i just got mr mega which might save my ass.
edit. i'm a dumbass and i used a luck up pill right outside the
Isaac
Interesting. Passed it up quite a bit thinking it wasn't very useful. Thanks

It isn't GREAT, The Nail is more generally useful and (I think?) the same cost, but Black Hearts can be nice for awkward rooms in The Womb and such where they'll clear a room full of super annoying enemies and stop you from taking further damage. Pretty negligible damage for boss fights though.
I Wanna Be The Guy
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Just reached and beat Satan for the first time. Sweet. Are there any levels beyond that to unlock or is Satan the true final boss?
I certainly wouldn't pick it over the nail but there were items of far lesser value that i held on to not knowing how good it is
There's more
There's the Dark Room, the Cathedral, and the Chest. I have no idea if there's more after those three.
That last run.
Down to one heart on Lamb and 9 lives, not doing great damage. Almost eeked out a win but died on the last second. Decide to burn the rest of my 9 lives exploring the Dark Room while getting a Book of Revelations charge.
End up finding Cancer just as I charge my Book of Revelations. End up getting 4 soul hearts and damage resistance from that one room. Easily beat Lamb after that.

Ugh, still no 1.01 patch on EU Vita.
And yeah, it's a recipe for messing up great runs.
I swear, I ALWAYS pick it up thinking I'm picking up the poison shot upgrade.

I was watching a PS4 stream, is there a point to this game or is it just endless dungeons?
I'm not sure what you mean by "point"
The point is that it's super fun? It's not endless, there are many endings and win conditions.

wait - hold up, where have they confirmed they are working on an expansion?
I love how rooms have this effect on certain items. It appears you can still (item spoiler)

You can kill Satan with your piss, murder your mother with the Bible, crawl up into her womb to kill yourself, or just clean up poop with your tears. What more point does there need to be?
It's a super fun, incredibly complex game enjoyable at many skill levels that's great at progressive difficulty
Nice!
Bob's Brain always knocks your bomb straight back at you. It's terrible synergy.

Beat the demo man challenge super awkwardly -- gave up the bomb detonator on level 2 or so when I found the bible. This made normal progression an absolute pain in the neck, so i just used bombs to blow up doors and didn't fight at all in most rooms. On the way found a secret map and a dark bum, so used that to hightail it to secret rooms, found a heart room which the bum turned into silver hearts for me. Used those hearts to continue surviving room rushing, and used the bible ftw against

I always take the pills. The good far outweighs the bad, considering once you take them they're identified... so you'll only take, say, a range down once, but if you find a range up you might take it 2-5 times over the course of the game.

Same. I take them every time. Worst case scenario you take a single health down pill or a tears down pill. Average scenario the bad pill or two is balanced out by a good pill or two. Best case, you get 4-5 health up pills or tears up pills.
Worst case is a completely manageable cost. Average scenario doesn't impact a run negatively. Best case can significantly improve a run.

Is there an end game

Newb question. I've only been selecting from 'file one' for my runs. Other than character unlocks and the amount of money I've put in the donation box, does it have any other effects on the game?
They mentioned it talking about how people were datamining the game for secrets

What are dice rooms? I went into one and teleported
The basic jist of isaac is that there is an end with a final boss. It can be done in maybe 30 minutes. When you get to the end and beat the final boss you cheer and get shown credits and then the 'end' goal posts moves. And then you start over and try to get to the new end/new final boss.
Also over the course of each run you cause things to happen that permanently alter the dungeon. In some ways making it easier and in others making it harder.
Eventually the goal post stops moving and you've completed the final end.
Playing a video game and having fun mostly.
Dice Rooms randomize many aspects of the game, depending on the number imprinted on the very large red dice embedded in the floor. Stepping onto the center of the dice activates its effect.
The dice numbers and effects are:
The dice numbers and effects are:
1 will re-roll all of the items you are carrying in an unknown way.
2 will re-roll all of the consumable items in the room with you.
3 will re-roll all of the consumable items on that floor.
4 will re-roll all of the pedestal items on the floor except for Devil Room items.
5 will re-roll the entire floor and restart it as if you had just entered the floor
6 will re-roll every item you have as well as every item on the current floor
2 will re-roll all of the consumable items in the room with you.
3 will re-roll all of the consumable items on that floor.
4 will re-roll all of the pedestal items on the floor except for Devil Room items.
5 will re-roll the entire floor and restart it as if you had just entered the floor
6 will re-roll every item you have as well as every item on the current floor
What it does changes depending on the amount of dots on it. For example a 4 rerolls all of the items on the floor.
Edit: Beat.

Any idea of checking how long you've played the game before? My GF + I are having little competitions over who will beat X person first ect.

You can track your deaths/mom kills, on PS I think that's the best you get. I don't see any time tracking on PS4 at least.
Got a weird bug (I think?) just now. Picking up Cricket's Body my range dropped very harshly. Like less than half of what you get with Number One. Apparently it's supposed to drop your range some but I've never seen it happen to this extent. When I was revived the range seemed to return to what I expect.
