Guys, Rebirth is so fucking good. I finished WoL a year ago (platinum god, did some breaking runs, etc.) and was pretty bored of the game, actually. I did preorder Rebirth when it was announced, but didn't really think that much of it. Now it's out and I already have 20 hours played in it after the couple days it's been out. It's just so good, I love the boss gauntlet you get if you beat Mom under 20 minutes. That's probably my favorite change, it changes the way you play, you can't min-max every single room, you have to also evaluate time into your decisions. Eden is also super interesting, I'm a lazy person and often just restart if I don't get good items on the first floor. I can't do that with Eden, again it forces me to play differently, which is amazing. I'm loving the game, so damn good.

What's the room that's always locked that has a curved arrow to the left? I have no idea how to open it and I can't find it on any wiki lol.

FINALLY BEAT IT ONCE!

I got a silly run with 99 bombs + the thing that makes the bombs send shards everywhere and anarchist (the thing that spawns like 8 smilie bombs lol)

Somehow managed to beat Mom's Heart the exact next run after that (1 shot lol!)

I had a pretty interesting combo just now. Spoon Bender and Tech 2 resulted in a laser that arced from enemy to enemy. It was kind of buggy in that sometimes it just didn't do it and sometimes the whole room would get hit, but pretty funny anyway.

Man. The one thing I hate about that boss gauntlet is the DAMAGING POOP! You can't see where the hell they are if you're moving fast, plus everything becomes a black/red muddled mess anyways. If there's a reward for killing a certain amount of bosses in there, I didn't achieve it, but I think I killed like 15.

Nope.

Fucking orbital tears ("tiny planet")

not like any part of the game is aiming with your tears. Let them spin around you in circles instead of fucking shoot anything

Does anyone know if hard mode affects luck? I've exclusively played that, but I think the only thing I saw people post about is that it is just fewer item drops in rooms and more enemies.

JK

played a game with azazel

got orbital tears

dope as fuck

edit: damnit I mad. I just lost a game unfortunately after winning the boss gauntlet cuz I had like 1 evil heart for my total health w/ azazel.

had pact with devil for brimstone (full laser range) and got something that gave me honing shot [edit-- spoon bender]

purple lasers bending around the screen to one shot things essentially

I will dream of this game forever.

I cant find any information as to what the "book of secrets" does. Its an item you unlock after beating satan with eden

EDIT: Seems to reveal either location of secret rooms or other rooms (item/store/boss)

After a trillion billion tries I've finally managed to complete the Head Trauma challenge. I used up all my luck for the year to buy a Bible in the first shop I entered and it would be an easy win if I could get to Mom. Somewhere along the way I found the Ring Worm trinket. That coupled with the items you start with was just silly. Don't get me wrong, it would be useless in a real game but it looked really silly with the whole screen covered in small tears spinning in circles.

Found a video of the effect...

What does evil do for you in the game? Seen evil up from some items but no idea what it does.

I think evil and faith affect devil/angel room probabilities. Not sure what sin does, tho. I think goat head gives you sin up, or something. Maybe dark robes, I don't remember.

Just had my most OP Rebirth run so far. Proptosis, Growth Hormones, Quad Shot, Pentagram, Brimstone, Guppy, Monstro's Lung pill roration had health up, balls of steel and full health. It was just perfect. One-shot literally everything I ran into including lategame bosses that I don't want to name because spoilers.

This is the quad brimstone laser: + Show Spoiler +

And here's the seed: + Show Spoiler +

Play it, it was amazing! :D I had Azazel on the run, but I think it's going to be amazing with any character.

The red poop actually does damage a ton of damage to the bosses, it's not all bad. I had some bosses die without even touching them from the red poop. The gauntlet has 15 waves and at the end of it you get another item, and there are unlocks for completing it, one for each character.

double posted, shit.

brim and gravity tears (i think?) creates a pretty interesting combination, you charge brim as usual and then when you release the key it creates a whirlpool about the size of issac where you're standing and then shoots brim in the direction that you were aiming in another charge time.. so it's kinda like a delayed brim.. it wasn't as good as normal brim because it's harder to control, but it's awesome to see the different combinations.. loving the game thus far. is everyone only playing on hard difficulty??

I'm playing on normal, haven't even tried hard yet. I'm trying to unlock everything by beating everything with every character.

Guys what are your general stats? Deaths/Mom kills = 29/12

Rebirth seems easier to me compared to previous game but then im playing only normal for now.
