i'm like 40/10 on hard mode and i was BoI platinum god.. the final floors get tough on hard if you don't have a really good build.. that said I farm kills with the bluebaby character that starts with shortranged brimstone and flying, because it's hilariously overpowered even without heart containers.. also, starting with the fool card is great because you can pick your item from the "boss rush" mode after mom's foot and just TP out if you don't wanna waste hearts/time fighting all the bosses..

also, i haven't seen brimstone a single time in any run (other than starting with it), did they greatly reduce the drop rate or make it an unlock or something??

41/19 on normal, except one won run on hard.
Also Challenge 1-10 done. Fuck 'Cat got your tongue' and 'Head trauma'.

Edit: ^I don't think Brimstone is unlockable, you're just unlucky. Also more devil room items that are also not locked, so bigger pool.

Yeah I thought that this might be the case, specially since there's a chance for your god room/devil room to be absolute garbage new with bad chests or just soul hearts/demon hearts

I really like this game, but it's annoying having to wiki every item to know what they do :/

Yeah, It does get annoying having to keep the wiki open, and there are so many items it will be awhile until you memorize a good number of them. Just comes with time unfortunately....
I played a lot of the original and even still I need a wiki open, mostly for the cards, I honestly can never remember what 90% of them do.

I've put in a good number of hours on it and am loving it. Maybe it's just me but it does seem easier compared to WotL, not as much bullshit and the item drops seem better. Could just be me though.

Beat mom once and just made it to Moms Heart but lost. Forgot how much damn HP it has T_T

Really enjoying it though, much more than I thought honestly.

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.

I was just frustrated when I posted that, I ran into them at least 10 times trying to get away from projectiles. Haha. I did beat it today, but I was using the Brimstone character. Kinda ridiculous, honestly.

omg the black larva item that eats your enemies to restore your health is ridiculously good, if you have an arcade you use the blood machine sooo many times.. first from just refilling from enemies on the floor, and then from using the larva to eat flies from the beggar whenever he gives you flies instead of items (that gives you hp too!!)

if you ever feel like you've done something dumb, I just lost a game on the womb 2 with like 1/2 a heart left as I was just running through already cleared rooms to head to the boss and forgot that one room had like raising/lowering spikes right after the door and died (granted I had at least 1 more room to go through to the challenge room, but I really cleared what felt like the entire wom. I should have been just 1 or 2 rooms away, but could have died in those too).

but yea, there is just so much shit now. I didn't have wrath of lamb, and I felt the first game was more manageable in terms of items

this one does have a lot of fun ones though. While I dislike most items that change the straight-fire shot, the ludivico item was a really fun and hectic game I had (make your tear just float, there is no more shooting tears. control with arrows)

also, I played a ton the past 2 days and I suck. my stats are especially horrible after today.

Edit- i was like 29/5 on hard mode

Now like 38/5

Holy crap. I just had a run with Ipecac and Guppy's Head. I don't know if it's a bug or not, but the damage the flies did was the same damage as my main attack, ergo my flies did as much damage as a bomb.

I beat most bosses within less than a second, two to three flies took care of them instantly. o.O

On top of that I got Monstro's Lung later on to carpet bomb the entire room with one shot. In case the flies didn't kill everything before I charged my shot.

Missingno is one wild item, holy fuck. It seems to give completely reroll all your items at the start of every floor. :D Don't recommend picking it up when you really need a win, obviously. :D

If you want to have fun with azazel, check out this seed: 778Y 4DC8

Little planet first item is great with him, and then i got a lot of damage and there was tammy's head in a chest in the middle of one of the rooms (pretty sure it was necro I). the result was killing mom's heart in one use.

Is there anywhere that I can see how to unlock all the random rooms and floors? It seems like after every heart kill I get access to something else new and random.

this game is so great is so great, but i don't like the items that make you worse. i picked up cursed eye. this items makes bosses almost impossible by teleporting out if you get hit. and of course i picked it up another time, because i didn t remeber the item. but now never again
