Not exactly harder, given that it now starts with the item that was previously almost necessary for the Isaac gods to grant you in order for your run to have a chance.

It's been too long, but don't you have to unlock that in order to start with it with The Lost?

Yes.

Yes.

Definitely going to need this item then since I don't think I'd ever get good enough to avoid taking a single hit

Just don't walk into blood banks.

You do get free Devil Deals, though

That's pretty nice

I blow up more blood banks than I actually use >_>

Lol. My first and only run as the lost was damn embarrassing. I've been trying to unlock him but every time I get the missing poster I have such good items that I can't resist taking it all the way and getting another completion mark

My main file with True Platinum God is on the Vita, and the Vita doesn't get Afterbirth or any other addons aside from the standard Rebirth game. Feels bad mang.

Agreed, they've got a very niche use.

I love blood banks, getting the blood bag for 1 health up, a full heal, and a speed boost is always great.

It's always disappointing when the IV pops up cause for a second I'm like yes a blood bag >_>

I hate the yellow shot now. Shuffled my stats and made my shooting speed painfully slow. I was able to get mom's box and find cancer but it still was bad. Barely able to beat the chest as blue thanks to that shit

Lol wow that was a wild run. Got 20/20 the triple and quad shot item and ipecac in the chest after Isaac. MERT 3BDL is the seed if anyone is interested. It also gives you the cross item for soul hearts on the very first floor

Curse of the blind finally fucked me. I've been lucky picking up items until now when I got the cursed eye >_>. If I hadn't gotten the super bombs and infinite bombs pick up in the chest I'd be getting really frustrated every time I teleported out of lamb

Also on a different one I picked up the angel crown which was amazing until I realized a single hit deactivates it regardless of your soul hearts. I've grown more fond of the angel room items but the devil room is just so much easier to get

I also have issues getting Angel rooms. I can skip two Devil Deals and still get a third and fourth
---

Yeah it seems like when you want angel rooms you never get them and then when you're not even trying they show up. Now I just kill the angels anytime I get one so I'll have that little bit more of a chance to get it

Most reliable way to get into Angel Rooms is to use the Sacrifice room, folks. Failing that, start stacking the deck in your favor by blowing up demon beggars and donating coins to the donation machine in the shop

The ones were he gets nothing thoughout the entire game and he slowly starts to tilt are the best, imo.

This is almost the opposite of that. He gets so much good stuff but it synergizes so TERRIBLY that he struggles to do anything and it tilts him so hard lmao

Lol I want that huge brimstone item. I don't think I've been able to come back with just one heart tbh. I've beaten final bosses like that but I haven't been able to start on a floor with just a heart and win

Doctor fetus rainbow tears and monstros lung is fucking crazy

I was able to cheat the rerun achievement with The Clicker

Nice I assume you're talking about the victory laps. What's the clicker do

On a sidenote I was finally able to donate into the greed machine after beating it with Isaac. Gimp mask and lots of hearts is fucking clutch in that mode especially in the final fight

Clicker erases the last item you picked up and changes the character you're playing as.

Oh yeah got no damage chest achievement with OP Lazarus. Brimstone bouncing off walls with that orbiting thing made rooms clear in seconds

That would make the lost run easy

Be warned though, when you use the clicker the run counts for the NEW character.

If you change from Lost to Maggie (for example), any unlocks/completion marks will be counted towards Maggie not the Lost.

So no cheesing it for his unlocks then >_>

Well, kinda.

If you're REALLY lucky you can clicker to the Lost May in the run and finish it, but that's incredibly rare.
---

Like I said, don't worry too much about the Lost, there's an even harder character to play as you can unlock.
---

I see. I've been trying the Assbackwards challenge and it's pretty amusing. I just quit out if I don't get any good damage or items. Farthest I've made it was the floor after Mom's heart

Four Souls came in today. Now to find someone(s) to play it with

So... I've been screwing around in this again. Playing a few days ago I got 2 Steamy Sales (which made all shops free), and a shop restock, it turned into this:

Then last night I was playing some Greed Mode, found a D20, accidentally rerolled my damn coins, and... I think I broke it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwATmDX9hbQ" data-time="

I think I legit broke my game for a while, as soon as I bombed the angel it crashed, I reloaded, it crashed again. Finally got it to finish the run, but still... crazy stuff.
---

Interesting, I've never broke the game before
---

Lol at those videos. I think my longest line of familiars was only half that. The second one looks like what happened when I found a rune room with blank runes mixed in. I kept using them and it kept multiplying until it there were so many that there was no room to walk and everything just jostled each other

I guess that's what was talked about in previous posts involving making greed mode easy

Thinking about it, I think for some reason I would stop doing damage with Brimstone.
---

Tried Lilith for the first time and she was certainly different. For her to be most effective I guess you really need to go for items that give you hearts be it red or blue huh. I did get BFF and horseman familiar which helped me beat the heart but I couldn't get to Isaac

Huh. Cursed eye is actually beneficial for a character. With Lilith it gave me 3 shots in a row with no teleportation. Combined with soy milk and ipecac it was a cakewalk

Except Kamikaze. At best it has the slowest most boring synergy in the game. If you're really unlucky, you'll even be denied the sweet embrace of death.

I kind of enjoyed the kamikaze challenge

Just kicked backasswards ass too. Started off with missile brimstone and whatever item shoots brimstone in a 360 direction when it explodes. Easy mode with that

Man I had a tense playthrough with Cain when I thought it was going to be easy. Got wafer on first floor then didn't get shit all the way up to Lamb except for dead cat and potato peeler. The chest didn't give me a single item either. I had to just go in there with the lamb and try to kill him until he hit me then potato peel suicide for more damage. Did that until the last 2 lives when I finally killed it

I also tried Eden for the first time and beat the chest. Fuck the fruit cake item. I got it on accident in chest and kept getting myself blown up
