Finally unlocked both the Polaroid and the Negative. So I took Azazel to the Chest for my first time. Was already Guppy and way overpowered before I got there, and the first room had four gold chests...is this usual? I was so overpowered I didn't even see the last boss there. I had red tiny planet curving brimstone lasers and a double charged Tammy's Head. Looked like hot laser spaghetti with flies on top.
Not always in Wrath. XL floors in Wrath always had locked item rooms, but regular floors could go either way. I guess it just makes keys more valuable now.

I've beaten Mom like 7 times now and no option of heaven/hell 
how many times do I have to do it?

After you beat Mom's heart 10 times heaven/hell will always be available to you.

Two more until Cathedral/Sheol is a guaranteed followup.
think it only works in the US version because EU / AS still lack the update 1.01 for the vita :|
It's 11 kills in Rebirth.

So do I understand it correctly that you need to
?
Finally had a successful Maggy hard run, beat
.
That was far more annoying that even
.
I don't know what it is about maggy, but she's a magnet for awful, awful powerups. 3 dollar bills, cursed eyes, yuck. If I understand correctly, you only need to beat MH on hard with all characters, so I doubt I'll ever do a hard run with her agan. By contrast, I find the game far too easy with Isaac on normal (though lack of items on hard is just a tad extreme... i'm either buried in items on normal or have none on hard, no middleground).
get two angel rooms in a single run in order to kill 2 angels for both pieces of that key
Finally had a successful Maggy hard run, beat
MH but died against Isaac due to her being extremely underpowered and I made a stupid mistake during the bullet hell trying to get the killshot in, ugh

beating Satan with The Lost on hard

It is; first room on the Chest has 4 Golden Chests, first room in the Dark Room has 4 Red Chests.

Family Man did not look like it would be a fun one, but I got Demon Baby a few floors in and it was gg. Could have easily beaten the
with the setup I had going,
was nothing! Epic Fetus is fantastically fun. Now to try that Beans one again...
Chest
Isaac
Yep, can't take any devil deals. The angels are quite easy at least. Since there's no unlocks or anything tied to Mega Satan, just cheese it up with Azazel. Alternatively, I think finding Dad's Key also works, but I've never come across it randomly myself (granted I've only done two runs since).
If you have the ability to explore the entire chest level, I suggest you do it. Almost every gray chest that turns up morphs into a gold chest with an item.
Sometimes you can't afford to explore the area due to heart attrition, but you can turn an already overpowered build into stuff of legends.
Mom's Knife + Brimstone + Guppy + Quad Shot...That run was insane, 2 shot Isaac and Blue Baby. Essentially had all of those items by the Depths so it was a fun run overall.

This was pretty nuts. An independently controlled, persistent, ring of brimstone. Azazel + Tiny Planet + The Ludovico Technique
It's not something you fire, it appears in the room as soon as you enter and stays there. You move it around like you do your character but with the fire buttons. As you can see it made mincemeat of the boss rush room. Seed is NXNJ DTA6.
edit: just saw Anustart's post, lol

Yeah, I have to get super powerful super quickly to even consider getting the boss rush. Otherwise I'm just too methodical, and if I try to go faster it stresses me out thinking that I might be screwing myself in the long run by not clearing everything that I can.

Ludovico technique + Azazel is insanely OP. You're pretty much invincible.

Had a good run going with Eden and got to Mom's Heart ... only to die from the final brimstone whip of doom. One day I'll beat it with Eden. Today is not that day.
On PC, no. I doubt it would be different for console.
When I first downloaded the game on PS4 I got no trophies unlocking. Deleting my save files or trying a different save slot did nothing.
Then I re-downloaded the game started over again, and now all the trophies have been unlocking as they should.
If I get a few great drops in the first few floors that I can clear methodically, I usually decide to go for the boss rush right there and rush the later floors.
If not, I probably wouldn't do enough damage to clear it safely anyway. It's not terribly difficult, with the bosses doing only half a heart of damage, and health drops after every wave, but can take ages with a sub-optimal build.

I've been thinking. You know what would be a cool feature for the game? A bestiary that shows how many times you've killed and died to certain enemies (much like Spelunky's journal), and if the item collection showed how many times you've picked up certain items.
I'm a huge sucker for stats, so that'd be a wet dream for me lol.

Picked this up on the vita today, having a blast so far.
Seems like a game that is perfect for handhelds.

On the character select screen after you complete a level or boss you get a little emblem. Cathedral = Up cross, Sheol = Upside down cross, Chest = Polaroid, Womb = Heart. What does the star signify?
Never wanted a Vita before but this is the one game I actually want to get a Vita for... Mobile Isaac would be awesome. Wonder if there's a way to transfer saves between the Vita and PC version...

Star is for Boss Rush.

Azazel + Damage ups + Guppy + the Knife = one shot every boss in the boss rush. That was obvious, though. Having the knife go through the fallen and then killing his two spawn on the way back to you all with one shot feels good. Real good.
My best combo so far was Azazel with tiny planet, polyphemus, a few assorted damage upgrades, infestation 2 and mom's wig. The spiders alone were enough to take care of bosses in the boss rush, Isaac took one fully charged shot and two spiders to blow him up. I think I took three shots to kill ??? , at that point I was just laughing maniacally as things died around me.
you think that with the last patch that should have been fixed but it isn't.
I'll try on a new save file and if it doesn't work fuck that.

Found Boss Rush by accident with Azazel. Finished it with no hits Didn't know what it was until I got the trophy. Very fun.

Over the course of many failed starts, had two amazing
runs on hard difficulty. We're talking brimstone, parasite familiar, and plenty more.
Both of them, I'm sad to say, died to
Yes, I'm about to kick BoI in the teeth
I had a psp and never used it, thought handhelds just weren't for me. My wife got me a vita, and it's my primary gaming console, over and above pc and ps4. It's currently a Binding of Isaac machine, and I love it.
The Lost
Both of them, I'm sad to say, died to
a stupid fireball from a red fire pit

right after one more game

Out 500 hours in to the original on pc. Of it wasn't for a bug and the game running so slow due to flash I would've for platinum god.
Anyway downloaded for vita and after 3 lives I had beaten mom for the first time. It was easier than I remembered but have a question:
The codes you get in the pause menu, do you start the game with what you had collected or just a certain level? Forgot to write down a code that had a tear you controlled on its own but I was wondering what the code did

Another reason why flying is just so much better in Rebirth.
No the game auto saves anytime you quit. That number is the seed, and allows you to replay that level or share it with someone else.

From the narrative to the items themselves, Isaac is one fucked up game. Between child abuse, religion, gender identity, suicide, and all kinds of other shit, it handles a lot of themes that most games would never dare touch. Even if it's not presented in the most serious light.
