    Yeah, I did Computer Savvy the other night, and now I have RoboBaby 2.0 unlocked. Its weird, because I have to control it with the right stick, and he shoots lasers at things near him.

    I don't like it much, since I'm trying to aim tears at the same time. Maybe with something like Ludovaco Technique, it would be alright.

    Some items make it easier to get good pills though!

    Lucky foot and PhD both eliminate bad pills, unless you've already had bad ones before getting one of those powerups.

    Can has the lucky foot by default so he never gets bad pills.

    If you somehow manage to get both a lucky foot AND a PhD, you can make a killing at the arcade.

    edmund apparently wanted to rework luck into an actual stat with greater impact on things when you could get it

    cain got highly nerfed in the process

    thanks to the insanely overpowered combination of brimstone, dark bum, and numerous damage ugrades, I've finally managed to beat mom's heart

    I had the opportunity to try the boss rush and maybe should have done it

    but I was getting so frustrated about so many failed tries to even get to the womb I wasn't going to risk it

    I did the boss rush without knowing it was a boss rush because some jerk told me to go left without warning me.

    And then I beat it.

    fittingly my first eden run was also my first cathedral clear

    starting with flight was pretty good, but the real hero was that item that gives you manual control over a single tear, that + flying let me pretty much park my tear over most bosses and then hide in a corner

    So if you lose all of your heart containers the game considers you to be ??? even if they're still locked.

    Pretty sure that's only supposed to happen if you have the x1 life bonus.

    Life you get Guppy's Collar or the Anhk.

    Killed Mom's Heart for the first time with Cain, and this strange, but supremely powerful horde:
    EFD68B81A13BCADB68501A708D92265A03B8CA58
    Includes:
    -Dark Bum, who is absurdly powerful. There's a reason hearts don't go off the screen now.
    -Rotting baby that launchs attack flies.
    -Bobby's Brain, a bomb like attack that refreshs every 5 seconds or so.
    -Big Friendly fly, who explodes, and comes back.
    -2 pretty flies.
    -cube of meat.

    Also have Pentragram, squeezy, brass knuckes, a health up mushroom, several speed and range upgrades, and of course, Book of Shadows. Popped it, dropped some bombs and face-tanked it. Took about 10 to 15 seconds.

    Should I open the chest, or go down into the devil room?

    I, for one, enjoyed the Mako.

    Went down. There was a Satan. There was Darkness. The two do not mix. So, so close.

    FYI whatever you would have unlocked for beating Mom's Heart that time still gets unlocked, you just don't get the ending animation to show it if you go visit Sheol instead.

    Ha. Me too.

    Okay, technically my first Eden run was starting with what had to have been the minimum possible damage stat, accidentally picking up a moon, and dying immediately. But the first one AFTER that.

    I wound up with bucketloads of attack speed, but not a single damage upgrade, which made the run really tedious. Normally I would have just taken the chest under those conditions, but I also had max soul hearts, the Wafer (all damage reduced to half a heart), the mask that provides some nebulous sort of damage resistance, and three Pretty Flies. I think I might have been literally immune to the Cathedral boss's bullets due to some combination of these.

    Actually, I just looked it up and Infamy alone is straight-up immunity to projectiles from the front. Which basically translates into immunity to the Cathedral boss entirely, and immunity to the bulk of the Mom's Heart's stuff. For a long time I thought it was just damage resistance or a chance to negate attacks from the front.

    I know a lot of the nastier stuff in the game isn't projectile-based, but even so, that seems pretty frigging broken.

    A tip for those of you who are struggling to beat Mom's Heart.

    If you use the bible to get past mom's heart and bring it with you into Sheol?

    Do not use it on Satan.

    That is all.

    I don't get Samson's unlock requirement.

    Do you have to clear two whole areas (four floors) without taking damage?
