    lucky foot never seems to do anything that great for me

    lots of range ups, still get crappy space bar items

    once I got a phd which is completely useless with cain

    it's still great to not ever have to worry about bad pills other than telepills

    also you have better chances at the shell game (50% rather than 33%)

    I love teleporting

    I will ditch pretty much any spacebar item for a teleport

  • SquallSquall hap cloud Registered User regular
    telepills suck on later levels like the womb because whoops now youre in a room with twenty knights, youre fucked

    and i have three hearts again! bliss

    im pretty good at dealing with gurdy right now

    but a couple days ago i got the dark version which didnt shoot any bullets but instead spawned three enemies every second

    needless to say i was overwhelmed

  • Vann DirasVann Diras Registered User regular
    oh i'm dumb

    kept wondering why secret rooms were just open to me but i forgot i had xray specs

    same here

    it's really great for going into the horde room, taking the loot, and bailing immediately

  • BugBoyBugBoy boy.EXE has stopped functioning. only bugs remainRegistered User regular
    I fought a champion miniboss chub in the depths

    instead of little charging grubs he spawned those things that gurdy spawns, also in champion form

    it was scary

    even better when the teleport is the loot from the horde room

    see ya, suckers

    ahhhh that was not a shop, it was greed! tricky stuff, game

  • Vann DirasVann Diras Registered User regular
    oh fuck me

    finally dead.

    this game is fun

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    god, greed is such a huge pain in the ass

    he's not even a hard boss, but him showing up often means no shop for that floor, and he has an awful tendency to show up in the depths II

  • BugBoyBugBoy boy.EXE has stopped functioning. only bugs remainRegistered User regular
    I want to beat the headless horseman

    the item he drops is so cool

    but he always shows up on floor one or two and I never have enough power to take him out

    i feel like i should beat this with isaac before moving on to other characters

    as much praise as cain gets, isaac is still pretty good. he's the first character that I beat both mom and the heart with.

    also, this game has an interesting skill curve. maybe I've just been getting lucky, but I feel like I've gotten better at playing much more quickly than I expected.

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    Isaac's the only character I haven't beaten the game with (barring blue baby)

  • Vann DirasVann Diras Registered User regular
    found the skeleton key in the very first treasure room

    of course like one million keys have dropped since then

    that happened my judas run

    I got a skeleton key and then no bombs or hearts

  • Vann DirasVann Diras Registered User regular
    haha, brother bobby and sister maggie on the same floor? awesome

  • Vann DirasVann Diras Registered User regular
    trading down to one red heart for brimstone: not my smartest move. it was fun while it lasted though

    why must I always encounter Gurdy

    I can't even count the number of good runs that have ended because of him

  • BugBoyBugBoy boy.EXE has stopped functioning. only bugs remainRegistered User regular
    gurdy isn't so bad

    take out any of those inflating things that he spawns asap

    after that, keep shooting and move to the left or right any time he prepares to shoot

    he has a pretty obvious tell, so it's not too hard to predict

    My only disapointment for getting both of them is that the meat cube didnt go to level two.

    Make it rain up in here!

  • Butler For Life #1Butler For Life #1 Twinning is WinningRegistered User regular
    just got up to mom for the first time but couldn't cut it

    almost, though.

    the trick is to stay out of the center and focus on hitting her leg

    THPOILERTHS!

  • SquallSquall hap cloud Registered User regular
    man i just cannot ever beat this game without cain now

    got to womb II with maggie and bit it right before the boss

    of course, it doesnt help that once you beat the game six or seven times it throws double bosses at you in every single room

  • BugBoyBugBoy boy.EXE has stopped functioning. only bugs remainRegistered User regular
    double bosses?

    oh god

  • NerdgasmicNerdgasmic __BANNED USERS regular
    yeah, it's interesting how the game gets harder the more you complete it

    I've beaten about 3 times and I run into stuff like 2 mini-monstros as the boss of the caves and knights outside of the depths

  • BugBoyBugBoy boy.EXE has stopped functioning. only bugs remainRegistered User regular
    right now I've vampire cain on the headless horseman's nightmare horse

    this is great

  • BugBoyBugBoy boy.EXE has stopped functioning. only bugs remainRegistered User regular
    the pony is so good

    flight, increased speed, plus a charging attack

    it is three cool things in one

  • BugBoyBugBoy boy.EXE has stopped functioning. only bugs remainRegistered User regular
    that was one hell of a run, but I died in the wombs two to a miniboss

    maaaaan

    I felt like I could take down the heart for sure

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    the womb becomes a lot easier if you have the compass

    in the womb there are no more shops or items rooms

    and enemies do more damage

    so really at that point you're usually better off knowing where the boss is and making a bee-line for it

    In case anyone was unaware, you can bomb open doors that are shut because there are enemies in the room.

    So if you find a room you just don't want to deal with (Knights), really need to make it to the shop as fast as possible, or just have a surplus of bombs, you can make good time dodging enemies for a few seconds and bombing your way across the level room by room.
