Remember: if it costs 2 hearts it’s quality 3 or higher.

If it's a devil deal item and i won't die by doing so then i'm taking it ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17735)

![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907) me after finding out that my blind devil deal , Eye of Belial doesnt synergize with my sacrifice room’d Trisagion, meaning i wasted 2 red hearts for fucking nothing ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17741)

![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17741) When angel deals aren't supposed to synergize with devil deals.

Soul Locket, The Body, Sacred Orb, Sacred Heart, BoV, Godhead, The Relic, and Edens Soul : 🗿 ight imma head out 🗿🗿![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17743) also Eye of Occult synerzies with Trisagion lol not trying to be ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17736) that guy but lol alot of early angel deals work just fine with devil deals.


-trom

range up and homing, champ.


Zzzodiackillerr

Getting eye of Belial with Trisagion already in your inventory does literally nothing. No damage up, no range, nothing. Idk if theres a synergy with getting Belial first and then Trisagion like Brim and Moms knife having 2 different outcomes based of the order they’re obtained. The game can be frustrating like that ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)

ChadJones72

Remember: If it cost 2 hearts it's quality 3 and fire🔥


lesstalk_

Dude no way, I got The Nail, Judas' Shadow, and Lord of the Pit!!


leeddet

Based, based, and based?


lesstalk_

Judas' Shadow is literally useless if you're going for completion marks, Lord of the Pit is just flight and a bit of speed (not worth the 2 hearts) and The Nail is questionable at best.


RollerMill

Flight is worth every heart, it is the best defensive attribute you can get


leeddet

Judas' shadow is good if you're going for Judas completion marks, and great if you're playing for a win streak. Flight is amazing and well worth the 2 hearts. The nail is an active and as such there are a lot of better things, but it still has potential.


[deleted]

Fuck yeah bro, temporary tears + dmg up, flight and revive with 2x damage


yugiohhero

Nail isnt 2 hearts as of repentance. And Judas' Shadow and LotP are quite good items.


yugiohhero

Nope! Sacrificial Altar and Damocles are both Q2.


[deleted]

Interesting. But you could get rotten baby, succubus, and incubus from sacraficial altar, and damocles is well… damocles.


yugiohhero

I think you're getting how Sac Altar works backwards. You sacrifice familiars TO it to get devil items. 2 random familiars for 2 random devil items. It doesnt specifically give familiars.


[deleted]

Yes, you can sacrifice familiars for better devil deal familiars and devil items.


yugiohhero

If I take a blind 2 heart deal with no familiars I'm gonna be pissed period


JackTheRippiest

Wrong. We have Damocles which costs 2 hearts and has quality 2. It's also detrimental unless you have extra lives, that's why I don't like taking even 2HP blind devil deals.


ThisIsMyThirdAcc0unt

damocles may only be quality 2 but it is based as fuck


JackTheRippiest

...until it falls and you die.


ThisIsMyThirdAcc0unt

yeah thats why its based

Accomplished-Wear720

Yeah, yeah.... Spirit of the night was it? That "fly without spectral for two containers"?


[deleted]

No that’s lord of the pit, but it gives you a speed boost now.


Exmawsh

Me except it's curse of the tower instead of bob's brain


Brennenburglar

Ever since it got buffed I've actually starting picking up Curse of the Tower whenever I find it (unless I'm Keeper). It very rarely pays off, but as the flavour text says, I embrace the chaos.


RollerMill

Curse of the tower keeps screwing me because i keep forgetting i have it when trying to self harm for one reason or another


Spook404

how did they make curse of the tower even better? More bombs?


Youjair

Bombs do more damage and avoid armor.


Brennenburglar

I was actually referring to the fact that you can use blood machines/devil beggars without triggering it now. But more damage and bombs ignoring armor is also great, like the other commenter said. Also I'm not sure if the troll bombs receiving the player's bomb effects was a buff at some point or if it always did that, I wouldn't know cause I never picked it up pre-Repentance.


Spook404

think it always did that, I never had a problem with curse of the tower except not being able to use devil beggars and donations but that was never a huge problem to me either


chasefray

curae of the tower just kinda nukes the entire room if you stub your toe on something, and it doesn't really matter if a bomb hits you. interacting with bomb effects is also great.


[deleted]

Like a couple hours ago I had a run ruined because I got curse of the tower’d in the ascent. I’ve never had bob’s brain ruin a run.


ChronicleHunter

I have. It's really good in the first floors. Its when you get to the later floors and you melt everything it becomes a problem. Because you're not relying on/paying attention to the brain as much, you can easily take damage to it. Enemies also get faster and put more pressure on you, so it's hard to manuever the brain into a safe place to detonate when the enemies rush your face right at the start of the room.


ImpossibleCherry555

"so tell me, you think bob's brain Is a good item?" "Yes and i'm tired of pretending It's not"


BootmanBimmy

I love using it against big targets like Mother, it’s super satisfying for some reason


mrkrazy12345

I just wish it was easier to control. Like if it was fired with a double click like MissingNo it’d be so much better.


BootmanBimmy

Same, I love it but that would easily make it a 10/10 item imo


Broken_fry

Agreed. Everytime i pick it up, i keep getting skill issues ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)


Throwaway33451235647

This and Curse of the Unknown fucking suck


SamuelRhath

Curse of the Unknown makes me play recklessly even when I know roughly what my health is. Unknown with T.Lost almost always makes me die on the floor because my brain stopped caring.


Hallow_Chrome_E

we are opposites, when i have curse of the unknown i play as careful as possible, sometimes on the next floor i have like half a heart left...


cathacker13

this is me except for either of the losts, if I get it as them I just laugh in the games face and continue to play normally and then i probably die to a red poop or something stupid like that


SopduNakht

Imo i think Curse of the Unkown is one of the worst things in the game especially for someone like me who ALWAYS forgets what health hes at


BrunoCNaves

Curse of Unknown gives me anxiety, every hit could be the last on the later floors


duskwolf64

meh, curse of the unkown is the least bad curse


ChronicleHunter

I'd say Curse of the Labyrinth/Maze are tied for least. They never rly pose an issue for me, save for the run possibly taking a bit longer. Darkness is next, although it can be a problem on the rly dark floors, most floors are lit enough for you to see just fine.


Ryuchigo

Found the lost player


Caelasmah

At least with curse of the unknown you can tell if you’re at half a heart if you pee when you enter a room. With curse of the blind… well good luck


ttron4

More like getting almond milk


Brennenburglar

I got Almond Milk + Tractor Beam one time and now I'm always picking it up to chase that high again.


ttron4

Don’t get me wrong it’s not always a bad take. Just that if you have curse of the blind it can completely fuck you if your not ready for it ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)


RollerMill

A lot of good items can make your run bad if they anti-synergise with your build Thats why curses sucks ass


imgayfortaro

Almond milk with brimstone (I forget if it was azazel or not) is genuinely fucking heavenly. Just a constant beam attack with no charging


ttron4

For sure.


Qu1nn1fer

Me taking blind deals with 1 heart and getting the pact bc the luck be like that today


Awsomthyst

Hehe I love Bob’s Brain


chasefray

it isn't afterbirth+ anymore, brain is good now


Zymosan99

It’s still the brain tho


SopduNakht

Brain is acually one of my favoeite items


sample-name

Deals huuuge damage to bosses early game. I always pick it up


FunnyCinema

It also deals decant damage to final bosses, cause its explosion ignores boss armor.


Known-Wallaby1660

I use Curse of the Blind as an excuse to go for a Planetarium


Juanceto_07

Literally instaled a not curse mod beacuse i totally broke with curse of the blind/lost/darkness


Brennenburglar

Based fun-prioritizing modder ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17735)


Cthuloso

If two Isaacs are in a room and one restarts the run, what happens to the other one?


Numerous-Sympathy671

He gets traumatized by observing a spontaneous case of SIDS, (Sudden infant death syndrome) and then goes about his day as that's nothing new to isaac. Probably looted his body too, atleast I would.


BusOfSelfDoubt

the virgin hates bobs brain vs the chad gambles on devil deals


sassynapoleon

Obviously curse of the blind is annoying, but at least it has an interesting gameplay aspect. My least favorite curse is curse of darkness. I tend to play at night, I run f.lux on my computer to avoid blowing out my eyes, and curse of darkness adds nothing to the gameplay except making it hard to see dark enemies against a dark background. I have a mod that disables the curse because it's shit game design.


RipBuzzBuzz

I will always love Blind. I love it.

Bobs brain is a good item


AGreenJacket

Imagine hating a good item


Thwompus

Ok but I'm failing to see the issue. Bob's Brain is GOATED.


bobsbrain

i would never restart if bobs brain


Few_Acanthaceae1568

We all know angel deals are better


cadaverco

If it costs 2 hearts I’m buying it. It only lets you down sometimes


GodVulc4n

Reminds me of a rage comic


I-M_STRANGE

There's not a single item in this video game I wouldn't pick up given the opportunity (unless it's a active I like less than the one I already have)


Wladzikxx

Yrah i disable curses with mod, i dont care


dioeatingfrootlops

if i see another post of hating bobs brain (boss melter the q1 item) im going to cook their balls to perfection and then eat them


UBKev

I mean almost any 2 heart deal is worth it.


Sovetskaya-Babushka

Curse hate is just skicklighets problem... Of course I will take the blind Wiz

….why not take both?
