Yea, when I got Mom's Knife with Azazel once, he had both at the same time.

The 'Mom's Kills' stat is for the first fight right? I'm at 11 and haven't popped the 8 & 9 trophies so I'm assuming its for the heart. Wish there was some deeper stat tracking
Yes, working very well now.

really? just hide in the bottom left or top right corner as soon as he goes off screen. misses you every time.
I spent the better part of the week after work trying to get the D6, and after I did, I started forgetting to pick up red hearts with Isaac.

Is The Chest on par in difficulty with
? What's my game plan for attacking those two? I thought I'd have it locked up as Azazel but
was hell due to 9 Lives and starting with only 2 HP on my first run anyway. I could beat MOST bosses no problem without taking a hit, but multiple Fallens are really hard to dodge as is
.
I guess I need to try for a run with The Wafer and or tons of health? Or should I focus on other unlocks first (I do not have most boss kill unlocks for most characters even before The Chest, just Isaac Judas and Azazel, no D6 yet)
That's...very odd. I just got a normal Mom's Knife with extremely high damage and extremely short range (shorter than Azazel's brimstone shot). Might have been some other interaction of items but I didn't have too many shot modifiers that run.

More of the harder coloured versions of enemies and MUCH less drops of basic resources like keys, bombs and money.
bleh, the only thing I'm missing at this point is meat boy/bandage girl. I got a setup of d20 + sharp plug + swallowed penny and wanted to use that to get infinite re-rolls with a monster manual but the game continually crashes on me if I abuse the d20.
So I can't take that path due to crashes I guess. meat boy/bandage girl suck in this one =\

does picking up SMB Super Fan count?
So I got my first BoI experience with Rebirth, and it's been interesting. I never got on the roguelike / procedural dungeon crawler bandwagon, because the notion of progress inherent in that design philosophy was anathema to mine. I think I may be rethinking that though, because I'll be damned if this game isn't addictive as hell! Although, I do feel like I haven't accomplished anything after playing it due to the structure of the game. That's a small complaint, though. And I haven't even successfully completed a run yet.
The music is fantastic, as well.

This game is killing me.
In one side, I'm addicted. In this moment, I have no time for games, but this game keeps me playing when I should be working...
... but in the other side, I'm not able to do nothing. I barely beat the "level 3" and I've reached 3 o 4 times the 4th and 5th level.
Is there more levels beyond that?, can you reach a safe level or you always have to restart from the beginning?

I had a run with the item
right now, and it's one of my favourite ways to play, same with the D4. You get ridiculous combos that usually would be very rare.
This is the OP combo it gave me on Depths 2, and the almost useless one in Womb 1 after that.

At least it made me OP again in the Chest

Missing No.

It's a roguelike. If you die you start over (though there's exit and continue in this one if you can't do it all in one session). You might try focusing on unlocking other characters if you're having trouble playing as Isaac. Azazel is a fairly easy unlock and is a VERY beginner friendly character that basically lets you say "fuck you" to a lot of the level design and bosses.

It's different from proper roguelikes in that the gameplay is much smoother, and even if you don't get good luck with drops/enemies, you can still beat the game (or at least get very far) based on your skill alone. RPG-style roguelikes for the most part do not have that. And, if you play the game a bit, your improvement makes itself noticeable.
Additionally, the game's mechanics are very easy to grasp, while the RPG-based roguelikes have very indepth mechanics like flanking or critical hits. Isaac is very straight forward.

More noob questions...
Anyway to deal with jars or grey blocks oth err than jumping or flying or bombing or stomping? I cant push the blocks like in zelda, right?
What do faith, evil, and luck all do?
What are the items and pills and equipment that seem useless for? Any way to find out what these thing do without going to a google search? Examples I can think of include goats head, nes cart, I found pills, etc.

That has happened to be 3 times now. Though I also still don't have bandage girl.I was one cube away from completing meatboy and then got a damn white pony drop, it's the last thing I need for plat god
D6 unlocked!
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time because in Cathedral I had the Curse of the Unknown, and had no idea how much hp I had left.. I only remember finishing the heart fight with maybe 1,5 hearts left.
And ofc I thought the D6 would be heart only, like in regular Isaac

Beat Isaac for the first time. Yeah maybe he is easier than Satan. I've gotten used to that fight now and it's a lot easier to avoid his attacks. It was pretty close though. I certainly wasn't anywhere close to overpowered in this fight and only had one heart remaining when I beat him so it was pretty satisfying.

Was planning on playing some Isaac on ps4 tonight. However the game seems to be stuck on the initial loading screen. Uninstalled the game and reinstalled. Doesn't help. Guess I'll be playing something else instead.

I'm asking about the hard mode becuase I find killing big rooms of enemies and champions to be quite annoying and the lack of keys is infuriating. What are the awards for the hard mode?
EnlightenedMint

The only unlocks for hard mode are coop babies and you only need to beat mom's heart to unlock them. Other than that there aren't any unlocks for completing the game on hard mode, except for with one special character.

Yeah, you don't unlock shit for doing hard mode with regular characters.
Can't push, you either fly over them or destroy them.
Faith as far as i know increase the chance for angel rooms and soul hearts, evil is the same but with devil rooms, maybe black hearts aswell.
Luck i have no real idea, you're more lucky with slot machines and you might better drop. Honestly i find it pretty unnoticeable (RIP Cain).
"I found pills is useless" but at least it's not a negative bonus, same goes for "puberty" as far as i know, can't think of a trinket or item that does nothing though, they all have functions.
wiki is useful if you simply want to know what some obscur items actually do.

I heard they are doing something with The Lost in some kind of expansion pack, should I just wait to play as him?

Had a really good run going and then the game stopped showing projectiles and enemies.

Died to a parting shot from The Fallen just before unlocking The Lost. Ugh screw this unlock for now.
Exit and continue. It has a continue feature now

The expansion will probably change the game quite a bit just like it did for the first boi, but if you run out of stuff to do before the expansion I say go for
The Lost

I have two more characters to unlock: Judas and Samson. I am so close to getting Samson but I seem to take a hit on the second floor everytime!
Eve is really strong in Whore of Bablyon form, I always go down to 1 heart on purpose first chance I get to activate it, and I avoid red heart pickups if possible and trade away all extra heart containers first chance I get, even if I have to do less useful deals like Brother Bobby.
Sometimes, yes, absolutely. It makes her bearable.
Usually I wait until I see the first treasure room and boss item. If it's trash I'll go all out and just take everything on in demon form. If the items are good I try to play it safe with spirit hearts.
What the hell happened there, seriously?
Note to self: When you're in the chest and you're next to the boss entrance and you're an overpowered monster that could take out blue baby don't be a delusional idiot and decide to visit the other rooms to clear them because you're a fool if you really believe you're that powerful.
Just want to point out that I'm an idiot.
Got wrecked by like four mega fattys.
