Last thread: >>125135446

>Patch notes?
Here's a pastebin because the OP was apparently too long.
http://pastebin.com/GjFTCS6r

>General Information
http://bindingofisaac.com/

FAQ:
>What does "item" do?
http://platinumgod.co.uk/rebirth
http://bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.com/Binding_of_Isaac:_Rebirth_Wiki

>What's that HUD that people are using?
https://github.com/networkMe/missinghud2

>What is "thing" on the post-it note?
Top row: Mom's Heart/It Lives, Isaac, Boss Rush
Middle row: Satan, ???, The Lamb
Bottom row: Mega Satan, Greed Mode, Hush

>What is Hush/Blue Womb?
New boss in a new area that opens when you beat Mom's Heart before the 30th minute.
Pretty much a bullet sponge though, so have fun with that.

>How to unlock The Lost?
1. Unlock Missing Poster.
2. Die holding Missing Poster in Sacrifice Room.
3. Congratulations, you have now unlocked The Lost in a fraction of the time of everyone else.

>How to unlock The Keeper?
Donate 1000 coins to the greed machine.
If you're not up for autistic level of grinding, use cheat engine;
1. First scan for the value you have in the greed machine.
2. If only one result, change it to 999.
3. If not, donate one coin and try again.
4. Repeat step 3 until it works.

>The Keeper has no sprite and dies instantly!
Remove players.xml from your resources folder.

third for what the fuck is with the hit box on the spear in the guardian challenge.
>>
>>125675458
the spear is really inconsistent, i think to damage with it you have to be moving towards the enemy?
which is fucking retarded because nothing else in the game works like that

also, fun fact: tech 5 seems to have infinite penetration through objects, even though its sprite doesn't. i've noticed on multiple occasions that it's hit a rock and still damaged enemies behind it.

The thing with the spear is, despite the sprite's size, it's hitbox is only half of that. It starts at the silver part in the middle, so it's pretty much Mom's Knife, except you can't throw it.
In The Guardian, even though it's been reskinned for reasons, the hitbox is the same, and it's harder to see where that hitbox is. Again, because reasons.
>>
>>125684534

Let's hope that they improve it, but with most things, I fail to see the rationale for it as it is. Why wait this long to nerf the Stopwatch? Why wait this long to buff Shoop Da Whoop? If his rationale for all of this was "the streamers don't use it", then who is the game ultimately for? The thing with the Internet is that no matter how deplorable something is, you'll find someone that supports it.

I just have to beat the game with The Lost and Keeper now and find the remaining items and then I'll be free until the next update.

I prefer the old lost unlock method. At least it didn't require any RNG.

Do you need to die with Isaac, the Isaac and his Isaac, while holding the missing poster in order to unlock the Lost or can you use anyone for that?

fuck this game for giving me 2 guppy items on basement 2 and then never again. Didn't even get flying through other means

Anyway, that's out of the way. Only Bosh Rush and Hush left. Will have to start going fast even though that's hard as balls as Keeper since the only way I've had a chance so far is extremely meticulous play. Oh well.

fuck keeper though

he's almost as hard as rebirth lost
yes, technically you have more chances than it instead of 1 fuckup = you're dead

but it's so much fucking easier to dodge stuff when you can fly

I find that to be the main difference

not the fact that you could load up on devil deals with Lost whereas you can only sometimes take them on Keeper

but not having flight (and lower speed though if I'm not mistaken)

makes him a real pain in the ass to play

i usually play greed mode with isaac or azazel (just to clear the rooms faster) and after i got a devil room on sheol with three items (none of which were mega blast), i used d6 once, still no mega blast, i had the battery which gave me an extra charge of it and once again no mega blast

Incubus and succubus. Not enough red hp drops on hard mode for dark bum to be all that helpful honestly. Meanwhile succubus has a large damage aura that scales with your damage AND gives you a 1.5x damage multiplier if you're near it.
Abel and little chad, do people even count chad as a familiar? Dead bird if you don't.

Any tips for the Speed! challenge?

Just got Afterbirth and started a new game for it.
Got Bumbo for the first time currently, but i feel like i don't have enough time to use his to his full potential.
>>
>>125755486
Just keep mashing your face into it until you don't get screwed on items.
>>
>>125755486
Two ways to win. Either you need to be able to bum rush through the game, meaning you want a Floor 1 Dr. Fetus, Ipecac, or Pyro (just skip majority of rooms by blasting the doors), or a Floor 1 We Need to Dig Deeper!

The other way is extremely careful defensive play. Floor 1 Holy Mantle can allow you to completely bypass the 16 minute time limit. After your time is up, you recieve damage every 10 seconds, but that damage can be absorbed by the Mantle. So long as you can clear a room and wait for the mantle to take the hit before moving on to the next room, you can keep going forever past the time limit.

Or just having a really OP build to where you can tell the game to fuck off. Tammybrim or something.
>>
>>125755793
Is restarting until i get one of those items a good idea? or should i just take what i got and try?

Thanks bro.
>>
>>125756372
In theory you could just take what you get and hope for the best. But if your frustrated enough, R'ing until you get a powerhouse item could possibly help your sanity.
>>
>>125756649
Though should mention in hindsight, the Mantle method is probably the easiest in that not only does it subvert the time limit, it lets you take your free hit per room which given how fast things are moving, will be often, which might keep your Devil Deals intact, along with free access to Curse Rooms.

Only now I realized that there's an alternate floor for every base floor except for Sheol and the cathedral. God damn it Edmund
I wish they went all the way through and added alternate cellar, catacombs and necropolis too in addition to topheth and basilica, but hey I guess that not getting what we want is part of the enjoyment of this steak.
>>
>>125756948
Alot of the challenges have bogus, or outright harmful, rewards.

I'm personally saving as many meh challenges til after I finish all my post it notes. There's alot of advantage to a small rune pool with only a few select runes in it, as well as not unlocking useless pills or certain cards.

I'd say the challenges worth doing are 2, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 29, and 30.

Outright avoiding 1 (Hagalaz seems the most common Rune, so keeping it out the pool helps), 7 (card pool, very rarely useful), 11, 24, and 25. All others are either not directly useful, but not exactly harmful either.
>>
Alright, I have super bandage girl/ super meat boy, all challenges, all characters unlocks on hard mode and I have 3 achievements left, other then finding every item in the game, wtf am I missing?
>>
>>125757597
Possible that your missing some of the do X thing achievements? How many times have you died? Got all the _ Boy achievements? (I assume that's automatic for doing the Lost though). Fully upgraded your shop donation machine? Got all alt-bosses unlocked etc? (I'm nearly done with the game and only just now unlocked Triachnid for example).

It'd be easier if you just went into Steam, Library, View Achievements, bottom of the page is the ones still locked.

>>125763286
I'll have to unlock Keeper first. I was well on my to unlocking him before the machine broke when I had 70 coins. 0% chance my ass. What's the actual statistic on that thing? Does your chance to break the Greed Machine go up the more coins you put in in one run? I've been going through with different characters each time so that I always have that 0% chance but it still somehow broke.
>>
>>125763694
for that unlock i suggest the d20 abuse where you get infinite items and 9 volt + glowing hourglass and kill ultra greed until you have 999 coins in the machine
>>
Does taking a deal in a devil room give a better chance for one on the next floor?
>>
>>125763694
>>125763849
You just got really unlucky (0% is rounded off, so it was like 0.4% probably)

Ever since the changes I consistently deposited about 50 to 80 coins each run. Just keep switching characters and you'll be fine.

>>125764064
No. Taking a devil deal locks you out of angel rooms appearing, and having had a devil room on a previous floor lowers your chance for one to open up on the current floor (even lower when you had one on two of the previous floors). That's all it does.
>>
>>125764140
obviously I mean the immediately previous / 2 previous, so if you get one on both basement 2 and caves 1, fat chance you're getting one on caves 2

and just the room has to have appeared for that, not necessarily taking a deal.
>>
>>125764064
Getting a devil room/angel room automatically sets the probability on the floor after that at 1/3 and increases by 1/3 every time you don't get either. Getting a devil deal precludes angel room from spawning. Joker cards devil rooms do not count, you have to spawn them after the bossfight. After an xl floor you have 2/3 probability of getting another angel/devil room. That's it I guess, except sacrefice rooms and killing beggars
>>
>>125764064
I wanna take it to lower my health and potentially increasing chance at one on the next floor but don't really want the hairball. Would rather save hearts for better deal.

>>125764140
Wait that's something i never got.
So
>if on floor 1 i get a devil room, i have a lower chance of getting one on floor 2, but if i get one on floors 1 and 2, the chance is lower for three?
or
>Floor 1 devil room, no devil room on floor 2, floor 3 is decreased chance?
>>
>>125764304
Take the Hairball. It's a decent enough item, plus it's 1/3rd of the way towards Guppy.

Especially since you have six fucking health as Eve.

You don't want to start getting Angel Rooms accidentally.
>>
>>125764304
Basement 1 has 0% devil deal, basement xl has 100% as it is for basement 2
>>
>>125764304

Floor 1 has 0% devil/angel room.
Floor 2 has 100% devil room.
Floor 1/2 XL obeys the same rules.
Getting a devil or angel room reduces your chances for the next floor, but that penalty decreases the lower you go. The baseline is thirty-something percent chance to get a room which doubles each floor you don't get one.

If you use missing hud you can watch the percentages yourself.

Too bad I got killed by the hush.

Big Fan is unlocked by default. You have to put considerable time into the game to unlock sacdag.

it does decent damage against the hush, but even with the car battery well the power doe snot show except against bosses that never stood a chance against brimstone anyhow.

Curse of the Tower is fine. You don't want it on Basement 2 since it effectively locks you out of blood banks and demon beggars but on the later floors it's free damage since Polaroid invincibility lasts longer than it takes for all the bombs to spawn and detonate.

Its only unlock is the wooden penny.
Store key is worthless, people usually trade it for the swallowed penny, but technically it should not be bad, the problem is that you take double damage before you can do anything about it in many instances to the point that makes me think the game is bugged.
