What exactly do Cain's eyepatch and Lucky Foot have to do with his biblical counterpart?

Pretty sure they gave a hint about a secret pertaining to the hush.

Finally bought the game since I played the original quite a bit. I haven't gotten too far yet, but I played a few runs with Cain and got bad pills multiple times. I thought the Lucky Foot removed all negative pills? Or made it rare as fuck, at least. That was the main reason Cain was my favorite character in the first game, no bad pills and you always seemed to win a jackpot.

Challenges overall are garbage and terrible game design. Locking unlocks behind them is stupid.

Cain gets the paperclip once you unlock it which can net you some pretty rad items from gold chests if you find enough. I really like playing him still. I'd say eve is still my favorite though

>Butt Bombs heal Dingle, making him impossible to kill
God, I experienced this on Brownie during the poop challenge. Or some other time I got those bombs. I'm pretty sure it was the poop challenge.

Made me so fucking mad, because I was doing really well up until then. It's insane to give a boss fucking healing to something which could theoretically be all of your damage at that point.

My favorite bullshit moment was in the middle of a Maggy run with 7 heart containers. I beat the boss, and I don't know if it's the way I moved or what, but Dead Cat had spawned right on top of me and I picked it up instantly. I lost, of course.

That depends, People are complaining about the nerfs, some of which are being removed in a week (such as azazel).

He's withholding items because of dataminer asshurt, he's going to release them unexpectedly to try and prevent people from figuring out how to unlock his new super secret character.

Enjoy your tons of cheap hits, buggy fucking gameplay, and other unbalanced clusterfucks started in Rebirth and taken to a ridiculous extreme in Afterbirth.

What are these for? When I played as Azazel there were hearts and stuff sometimes.

>mfw they removed the voice over
>mfw it still plays on certain cards

I liked the voice over actually. They should have it be an option.

>>315600803
Take damage, get free stuff. I don't think it's that useful, that is compared to heart beggars, spiked door room, blood machines, stuff like that.

>>315600803
A chance an item will spawn if you hurt yourself

In the original game they were way more useful cause the drop rate was way higher but I don't think I've ever gotten an item from them in rebirth.

>>315600803

They randomly give items if you hurt yourself

For some reason they hardly do this in rebirth.

I think that it's still worth it. I think Greed Mode is fun and bullshit And the new stuff is cool. I'm just mad about the Azazel nerf. It makes unlocking Lilith almost impossible and ultimately leaves Azazel unfun to play with.

What did they do to it? I was playing Judas earlier today and it seemed fine.

It's a worthless item now. What's the point?

Judas is worthless now.

>>315606979
Ed boy hid something in Greed mode and doesn't want people maxing out the donation machine in one run with some flavor of infinite loop.

>>315607175

Then make it like 99 coins per run cap.

>>315607110

The devil deal spawn rate took a hit, and people say Book of Belial doesn't have an effect on devil deal spawns at all now.

Wrong
>Judas is worthless now.
Also wrong

>>315607114
>Character with the highest damage modifier in the game besides Dark Judas worthless

All they did was change Belial to function how it did in the original BoI, it was always supposed to be +25% chance they just fucked up the decimal and didn't care to fix it.

>>315607291

I believe it's just Judas' book, not the book in total.

no, it'll always take you to a room you haven't been in assuming there are rooms that you haven't been in, but the type of room changes. So first it'll take you to an empty normal room if there's one you haven't been in, then it's like challenge/treasure/shop/curse/boss rooms, then secret/super secret room and, if you've been to all of those it's the devil room, and finally if you've been to every room it takes you to the glitch room.

Apparently that was a bug in the original or something.

Cain can start with the paperclip though, which is nice since it's a trinket.

Reminds me of when I abused piggy bank and scapular, and just continuously going in and out the curse room door for money.
I am kind of glad they removed IV bag from greed mode, because it was possible to have a broken run most of the time when there's a blood donation machine.

Monstro's Tooth is a really underrated early game item or "I can't find anything better" item.
