Last Thread: >>124903146

>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!

If so... Why?
Why would you do that?

>what is the easiest boss?
Hands down Monstro. Anytime it's a Monstro fight I know I'm not taking any damage and almost guaranteed a devil deal. Even his Mk. II form is easy to bait into spamming side lasers all day.
>>
>>125169087
>not little horny

>>125169087
Pin. Extremely easy and baitable attacks, extremely easy to dodge, and very low health, which goes down even faster if you have piercing. He also has 0 champion variants for some reason.

By the way, with regards to the monstro 2 fight, am I doing it wrong? I don't find him particularly hard but my tactic is just being above and below him. Should I laserbait him more?
>>
>>125169192
Little horns can sometimes catch you with a sly little black hole, but he does usually end up killing himself. Those black balls taking a normal 3 hits to destroy get annoying though.

I feel like a high-level MMO character.
>>
>>125171842
Personally, the most common things I take damage from during the MKII fight are the flies he spawn that shoot in four directions when killed. The more you make him jump, the more you have to move around to avoid the death balls. If you do, like, a moon maneuver where you go from top to side to bottom to side to top then it can keep him in a laser loop, and since he does that little face tick before firing it gives you the visual cue to dodge; unless you have lower speed, in which case it can be a little more difficult to keep the rhythm up.
>>
>>125172646

Yeah the fly death projectiles are what I get hit by most of the time. Thanks for the tip, what boss do you find you get hit unnecessarily on?

Sacrifice rooms, Anon.
Curse Rooms are the ones with the spiked doorways.
>>
>>125178265
The new sacrifice rooms are pretty damn powerful though. If you happen to have 7 health lying about then you have a 1/3 chance of an angel room item ON TOP of the chance to get the angel/devil room too.

Kinda silly on Keeper. You're never gonna have a floor without 7 pennies on it on Keeper.

Just beat Ultra Greed with the Keeper, I am still shaking.

Only 3 more runs for my Steak.
Fucking keeper, getting a 1up or dead cat is literally a must.

I just need to beat the game on hard with the keeper 3 last times and I can uninstall this shit.

Oh God, if only the keeper had one extra point of health it would not be such a fucking tedium, I have gotten 100 deaths with this little fucker alone, the lost was nowhere nearly this hard.
>>
>>125191781
I'll try that. I guess you just start with an infinite money combo and work your way to those pieces? Last time I had infinite mono, I could not find a Chaos card no matter how much I rolled my D20 or purchased cards from the store, I must have gone through 200 cards without seeing one. Is there a card pool like there is for pills?
>>
>>125193640

Not the anon you're replying to but I would assume there ids a card pool seeing as there are probably the same, if not more cards.

>>
>>125196668
I had 9 lives and Guppy's Paw, I wasn't going to have a lot of red hearts any time soon.

Guppy's Paw was a run saver though, I always kept a red heart in reserve just in case I needed to heal.
Plus, all those Breakfasts from Chaos, it was like buying spirit heart bulk packages
>>
>>125193640
I had to do like 4 breaking runs to get the combo going. My advice is to restart until you see either steam sale (then bomb everything and hope for 2nd or just 2x cheaper other breaking run) or blank card (then try to buy red cards for 2diamond). I also learned the hard way not to pick up Chaos item. Finding the hourglass becomes tedious after 500+ breakfast. You don't really need the guppy/etc stuff from chaos cause you'll 1 shot the boss anyway with the card.
>>
>>125197070
Isn't it more consistent to go for D20? It guarantees you get to break your run.

I've never actually done it, but it should work. Those rooms are coded to only ever drop red hearts if a heart drops, but I'd imagine not heart drops should react normally.

Of course Chaos Card isn't necessary, since by that point you're likely to have a very broken build, but it'll still be slightly faster as long as you don't have enough damage to clear Ultra Greed's HP bar completely the instant it comes up.

ipecac tears act as triggers for the explosion effect; the explosion has a set radius, and when a tear hits, an explosion triggers at the center of the tear

death's touch causes an increase in tear size proportional to damage; ipecac has retarded high damage, so you get retarded huge tears. it takes another damage-increasing item to really break (in my case it was monstro's lung), but it gets so that the tears are bigger than the explosion radius, meaning that when the edge of a tear contacts an enemy, the resulting explosion at the center of the tear just doesn't hit them.

Finally finished everything with keeper.

Used a mod to give him swallowed penny and money = power at start, to make him fun.

now only thing left to do is brains, and I just can't figure out why the fuck does this challenge doesn't stop at mom's heart, and why does it go all the way to the chest.

>fate's reward
Why did it have to be so much weaker than Incubus? Why did it have to fire so fucking slowly? I mean, there's a precedent here, we have motherfucking Incubus that acts as basically 20-20, what would be the harm in making Fate's Reward fire slightly faster?

Does Edmund hate fun?

which one ?
>>
>>125245658
I'd call that cheating but with Lost now getting the Mantle, I feel like that is indeed a lot more fun and makes the character genuinely enjoyable. "Essential" items shouldn't be farmed for through endless resets imo.
>>
>>125245891
Why not both? What do you need red hearts for? Also, don't forget to donate your hearts.
>>
>>125245831
Getting incubus implies you are
A. losing health for the item
B. locking yourself from angel rooms
Not to mention Fate's Reward is in two item pools making it easier to get.
>>
>>125245658
>Used a mod to give him swallowed penny and money = power at start, to make him fun.
Jesus christ, man. How can you find the game fun when you will always win every single time no matter what? It's like pushing a button that just tells you 'You win' over and over.
>>
>>125246134
But devil rooms are much better than angel rooms anyway.
>>
>>125245968
Imo the keeper is just broken, and is lacking something hence money=power.

Swallowed penny just saved me the hassle of restarting until I get it in the first pot I blow up.

I did everything with the lost pre afterbirth, by manually restarting untill I got dead cat or holy mantle, I can't be bothered to do that again with an even more shitty character.
>>
>>125246327
I did everything with the Lost pre-Afterbirth by abusing alt+F4. I think that no longer works, so I'm really happy I unlocked the Mantle for him.

Champion Duke of Flies could conceivably hit you because he either summons double flies or red cross flies.
Champion Monstro could hit you only if it's a tiny room or you get unlucky with the double pink Monstros, because big Monstro doesn't even jump, he mostly just fires.
For some reason Champion Pin is super fucking rare, but is just as easy because it uses the same jumping pattern.

Normal bosses never really hit you.

I'm mediocre at best but I was able to 100% the Lost pretty easily without collar save-scumming in two days with holy mantle unlocked... and honestly him and the keeper have become two of my favorites.

Mega Satan was the hardest because you can't take deals with the devil early on and have to really work to get those key pieces. Goathead and nine lives makes that one easy peasy, though.
Otherwise-- pray for favorable rng and look for good space bar items like blank card. My favorite when I'm not shootimg for boss rush/hush is teleport 2.0. Getting an deal room along with an error room every floor gives you ridiculous item combos.

So why does everyone hate Keeper so much? Sure, he's tough, but he's got neat synergies, he starts you with a powerful item and he lets you play the fuck out of the shops. He's nowhere near as hideously unfair as Rebirth Lost was. To be honest, I think he's pretty fun. Is it just because everyone's salty about the nerfs and associates him with it?
>>
>>125290580
Because he's slow, has a shit firerate, can't take or even find devil deals much because his coins count as red hearts for some stupid reason, and has arbitrarily low health.

tl;dr because he's shit
>>
>>125290580
He has a slow fucking firerate which sucks for early game, he can only take 2 hits before he dies, which don't regenerate unless you find health, he pretty much can't take ANY devil deals unless there's a health up right outside the door, and he can't take 2 heart devil deals at all, and 90% of his unlocks are garbage.

We fucking despise the shithead because we despised The Lost. We don't need another awful, boring, annoying, piece of shit challenge character. Combine that with the fact that they allowed The Lost to start with the Holy Mantle, which immediately made him fun, and you have a recipe for the most hated update in all of video games

The phase 3 light pillars are super easy to dodge, they always miss the top right&bottom left corner, or top left and bottom right corners depending on which corner it starts in.
Unless you're at roughly .5 speed or something similarly painful you'll always be able to dodge it by being in one of the bottom corners, if it's on the opposite side of the map just move to the top corner of that side, and if it starts above you just don't move.
If it's the RNG beams in phase 2, well savour your steak more I guess.
