If you notice a jumping enemy being confused stay in your general area as that will be the safest place. The confusion status can be awkward with jumping enemies too so pay attention to that so you don't dodge into where they are jumping. Massive knockback can be an issue as well. Very low damage to start with makes a lot of rooms and bosses a grind. Items that break this run: Range Ups, Brimstone, Mom's Knife, Flight, Long Range Familiars. Book of Belial or health generating items are good choices.

Recommended spacebar Item: Flush is ok but long recharge time and ineffectiveness against bosses and some other enemies makes it marked for replacement asap. Passives to look for: Mom's Underwear/Lipstick/Heels, Flight The one annoying thing about this challenge is the fact you have Number 1 and have no range at all, which will come to haunt you with rooms that have enemies over gaps Items that break this run: Black Candle, Brimstone, Mom's Knife, Dark Bum

Recommended spacebar item: Head of Krampus, Prayer Card Passives to look for: Just treat this like your normal runs and pick what you feel comfortable with. If you are having trouble seeing crank up the gamma to make it easier on yourself. Cheesing this challenge really isn't necessary but resetting until you get item room and curse room adjacent to the starting room will let you know quickly if you can get the best possible start. This challenge is one of two challenges that allow item rooms, so you have a huge advantage here. Be mindful of your goal though, don't accidentally go down to sheol if the goal has already been met or requires you to go to the cathedral. Teleport cards are good options too for skipping chunks of the floor or stealing an item from the boss rush/trap rooms.Īnother thing I have noticed is that with the challenges that require you to beat Isaac, the devil rooms after mom's heart can contain items rather then the trap door, so always check it if you get it. The passive flight can be helpful too on tough rooms.īlank card also breaks the game with 48 Hour Energy and the deck of cards so always visit shops if you have the money. A lot of the challenges end on either of these boss fights so that reduces the difficulty to just reaching these fights then actually completing them. If you don't have another spacebar item that you prefer this can save you a lot of heartache on Mom and It Lives as it kills them in one shot. You know the drill, but getting anything like that on the first floor can make your run so much faster and less of a hassle if you are having trouble doing it legit.Īnother thing to look out for that can help a lot is The Bible. Red chests can also teleport you to the devil room, where Mom's Knife, Brimstone, Dark Bum, Damage Upgrades, Flight and familiars await you. They can give you spirit hearts, Goat Head, Guppy Items, and with Guppy's Head can give you some amazing offensive power with challenges where you are blindfolded and can't shoot. Suicide King, Cat Got Your Tongue, Solar System, Family Man, Beans and Demo Man are by far the most difficult so tackle those accordingly to your ability.Īs far as cheesing the challenges, as long as you have some patience, you can get off to an amazing start with enough time just holding 'R' and waiting for a curse room to be adjacent to your starting room. Newer players should start with Slow Roll, and Computer Savvy as they are the easiest. In all honesty, most of the challenges save for a few are not really that difficult. It's probably already done anyway but I was bored today so let me know what you think! Let me know with a comment if you think this information is good enough for an actual guide to be posted. This should be some solid advice if you are having trouble with them.
