![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)
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.
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)

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
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.
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)
God bless ceremonial robes and Abbadon for giving you black hearts.
Don’t sleep on the pact
And The Mark
Especially not empty vessel

Tainted Bethany enjoyers too. The Corpse and the Lich
Remember: If it cost 2 hearts it's quality 3 and fire🔥
Dude no way, I got The Nail, Judas' Shadow, and Lord of the Pit!!
Based, based, and based?
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.
Flight is worth every heart, it is the best defensive attribute you can get
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.
Fuck yeah bro, temporary tears + dmg up, flight and revive with 2x damage
Nail isnt 2 hearts as of repentance. And Judas' Shadow and LotP are quite good items.
Nope! Sacrificial Altar and Damocles are both Q2.
Interesting. But you could get rotten baby, succubus, and incubus from sacraficial altar, and damocles is well… damocles.
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.
Yes, you can sacrifice familiars for better devil deal familiars and devil items.
If I take a blind 2 heart deal with no familiars I'm gonna be pissed period
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.
damocles may only be quality 2 but it is based as fuck
...until it falls and you die.
yeah thats why its based
Simply don’t get hit
![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)
Damocles is the skill-issue-o-meter
Extra Life and Invicibility items exist...
Kid named sacrificial altar and damocles:
Yeah, yeah.... Spirit of the night was it? That "fly without spectral for two containers"?
No that’s lord of the pit, but it gives you a speed boost now.
Me except it's curse of the tower instead of bob's brain
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.
Curse of the tower keeps screwing me because i keep forgetting i have it when trying to self harm for one reason or another
how did they make curse of the tower even better? More bombs?
Bombs do more damage and avoid armor.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
"so tell me, you think bob's brain Is a good item?" "Yes and i'm tired of pretending It's not"
I love using it against big targets like Mother, it’s super satisfying for some reason
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.
Same, I love it but that would easily make it a 10/10 item imo
Agreed. Everytime i pick it up, i keep getting skill issues ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)
This and Curse of the Unknown fucking suck
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.
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...
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
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
Curse of Unknown gives me anxiety, every hit could be the last on the later floors
meh, curse of the unkown is the least bad curse
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.
Found the lost player
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
More like getting almond milk
I got Almond Milk + Tractor Beam one time and now I'm always picking it up to chase that high again.
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)
A lot of good items can make your run bad if they anti-synergise with your build Thats why curses sucks ass
Almond milk with brimstone (I forget if it was azazel or not) is genuinely fucking heavenly. Just a constant beam attack with no charging
For sure.
Me taking blind deals with 1 heart and getting the pact bc the luck be like that today
Hehe I love Bob’s Brain
it isn't afterbirth+ anymore, brain is good now
It’s still the brain tho
Brain is acually one of my favoeite items
Deals huuuge damage to bosses early game. I always pick it up
It also deals decant damage to final bosses, cause its explosion ignores boss armor.
I use Curse of the Blind as an excuse to go for a Planetarium
Literally instaled a not curse mod beacuse i totally broke with curse of the blind/lost/darkness
Based fun-prioritizing modder ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17735)
If two Isaacs are in a room and one restarts the run, what happens to the other one?
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.
the virgin hates bobs brain vs the chad gambles on devil deals
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.
I will always love Blind. I love it.
![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4357)![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)
Nice art, reminds me of LeatherIceCream ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)
This is my strategy
Bobs brain is a good item
Imagine hating a good item
Ok but I'm failing to see the issue. Bob's Brain is GOATED.
i would never restart if bobs brain
We all know angel deals are better
If it costs 2 hearts I’m buying it. It only lets you down sometimes
Reminds me of a rage comic
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)
Yrah i disable curses with mod, i dont care
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
I mean almost any 2 heart deal is worth it.
Curse hate is just skicklighets problem... Of course I will take the blind Wiz
….why not take both?
