Honestly if Aries just had an indicator for when it's damage immunity is active I'd use it way more often, the effect is really powerful but has led to many accidental hits because I couldn't tell if I was moving fast enough
Its always active? Im not sure what youre talking about
@@mac_bomber3521 I'm referring to the immunity to contact damage, which only activates when you're moving at a speed above 0.85, like it was said in the video. I'd like it if there was an indicator of when you've hit that speed so it's easier to get a feel for when it activates.
@@treese_A distance smaller than Isaac should be enough… and most of the times when I take damage with Aries it’s usually against enemies that leave creeps or have death shots
Honestly just never use it, I just accept it as a speed up and move on with my life
? Seems pretty good lol
Normally, if Isaac enters a room with just half of a heart remaining, he pisses on the floor. However, if you have the item Kidney Stone, his piss is bloody instead!
Also happens if you play as Eve.
Kidney stones are like the worst kind of thing to ever experience
@@DaKingKayden and apparently have a 25% chance for kidney stone surgery to kill you for some reason
@@woobgamer5210 I know I’m 28 days late to ask, but why would you ever share this fact?
@@woobgamer5210 that is the reason my kitty passed away. He went under for surgery and never woke up again...
I like how the main effect of GB bug is considered obscure
Not everyone knows about the rework
yeah I was thinking "...as opposed to it being just for show?"
@@viosull not necessarily true, for example I have 500+ hours in the game and I don't know some of these effects because I never take some of those items, for example my shadow, because it is a devil deal andI know that it is not very good, I'm not gonna spend health on it
@@crelos3549 the one for shade is an ACTUAL obscure fact, but for king baby and gb bug, those were just its normal functions.
@SpelunkyGuy101 I take key bum when I have enough keys already, his chest drops ain't half bad especially if you have Mom's Key
1. Heartbreak gives The Lost(T. Lost, T. Jacob Lost Form) survive 4 extra hits. Fifth hit is fatal. Also increases your damage everytime you got hit. This also works with Found Soul trinket. Found Soul survives 2 extra hits per floor, and increases Found Soul's damage everytime Found Soul got hit.
2. If there's a Planetarium, The Stars will teleport you to Planetarium instead of Treasure Room.
3. If player has Little Baggy, The Fool card from marked skull changes into telepills. But if player has False PHD, marked skull will drop ???(Curse of the Maze) pill instead of telepills.(Because False PHD change telepills into ???)
It also allows (Lost) Tainted Jacob to survive a few hits.
If you have access to the Book of Shadows and a Confessional, you can get even more survivable hits in.
Only downside is that it's difficult to tell how many Broken Hearts you have on both Losts, unless you end up trading in the last one and start getting soul/eternal hearts/"You Feel Blessed" messages.
@@phdskyla5026 I'm pretty sure that was changed so it gives your normal form broken hearts
@@phdskyla5026 you can count them, though if you want to keep track of broken hearts is better to write it down
That change to telepills is pretty dangerous because you can get teleported to a I am error room and that'd still cost you going to the beast
@@KR_Kosmik Yeah, it does for TJacob, but you're still able to survive hits via Heartbreak activations.
thanks for letting me in the vid!
heres an another fact:
Monstro's Lung (also t. azazels sneeze) range is affected by shotspeed, not by range!
WHAT
WHAT
Unfortunately I can confirm. I recently had a Tainted Azazel run where I had extremely high shot speed, it was TOO fast! My sneezs would just ignore the enemy in front of me. They had to be a little bit away from me to get hit/affected by Hemoptysis
Sadly I can also confirm, i was trying to unlock reruns, got monstro's lung and also tech X, I took a lot of shot speed down pills because they were good with tech X but then Tech X got removed on one of the laps and Monstro's lung range made it unwinnable
im almost sure thats actually wrong, at least for monstro's lung...
the game has a hidden stat known as shot height, and it just so happens that a lot of items that give shotspeed up, also give shot height
the fat worm trinket gives -0,50 shotspeed and +2 shot height, and that other worm trinket which gives shot speed up also reduces shot height
Here’s a random fact:
Jacob’s Ladder has a greater spark distance when inside a “wet room” (Like if you use flush, for example) Also, something similar applies with 120 volt, that being while in a wet room more enemies can be chain attacked
that why 120 volt was more efficient in the alternative floor
Keep doing this series until April Fools' Day and end it with a video full of hidden effects that are not real
zonked state video pog
Todays the day !
@@IOSIRIS It do be the day
The Dogma one is really interesting. I was wondering why I felt faster on the Beast fight on runs with subpar speed. That's because I WAS faster!
Yeah dogma has a lot of balancing effects, like that, the extra damage and the up to 6 containers health
I once managed to get down to .10 speed thanks to lard, small rock and a few speed down pills I took for the lulz at that point. I was so confused when I was speedy all of a sudden
@@Lichtkrieger13 dude how did you got to beast with that speed, that must've been the most tedious shit ever
@@Lichtkrieger13 You madlad. You
Must’ve got gud at Issac beforehand on that run. I would probs die to the first room with more than one enemy at that speed.(Yes I do reset for items that help with survival as well Repentance can be bullshit at times.(Jacob and Esau/Tainted Lost.)
it's been an unlock run with maggy way back then, and with false PHD i kept pumping these pills in during the Ascend. But low speed isn't as bad lategame as it seems to be since most enemies are centered around shooting by then
you forgot to mention that king baby will also automatically shoot familiars that would require you to release your firing buttons, like lil brimstone or lil abadonn. This way you can focus on shooting tears and you won't be missing DPS
Gello will also do this if you get T. Lillith's Birthright!
Sausage increases every stat, even the planetarium chance
STOP PLEASE. EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS.
@@xeffary7390 я не знал
No?
@@xeffary7390 but did you know sausage is the only true all stats up?
@@Bnvnu it doesnt give tear height or knockback. it also doesnt give any damage multipliers if you count that as a seperate stat from flat damage ups
Butt penny gives a decent chance to get extra coins out of poops.
Fire bombs deals contact damage (32 damage per second each) to enemies.
Shard of glass has a 25% chance of spawning a full red heart when taking damage of any kind, whether it's enemies, self-damage or bleeding (which is always 1/2 red heart no matter the stage)
Libra in repentance takes account of your speed, even if it surpasses the normal limit of 2.00
that’s why libra taurus is busted
@@tiddly5 libra Taurus rock bottom sounds pretty nice. All stats up, and by a lot
you should also include that champion(red one) little horn's hot bombs deal contact damage
U literally listened normal functions of everything but libra, how the fuck is it obscure
@@larfee5191 because nobody use those function, players like you
Lost being unable to use black hearts for the Alabaster Box seems simple to explain
Lost will always have half a soul heart no matter what outside of the mantle
Picking up a black heart while having half a soul heart will *convert* the half soul into a full black heart
Since the lost can ONLY have half a soul heart, when you pick up a black heart the game attempts to convert the half soul, but fails and keeps it at half a soul heart
That is why it Lost and Alabaster Box does not fit together
Seems like converting a half soul into a black heart prioritizes over alabaster box collecting it, if only it was the other way around...
Shots from the ouroboros worm have a homing effect (which is obviously hard to notice)
this may have been changed, but ouroboros shots have a CHANCE to have a homing effect. At least it said so on the wiki, i never tested myself
Whats an ouroborus worm? too lazy to google it rn
Evil eye gives Isaac immunity to dogma’s godhead tear’s aura
The Void and Abyss one is actually SO USEFUL, especially on Alt Path or any time you have Curse of the Blind. Means if you can react quickly, you can pick up a blind item and decide if it's worth having, or absorbing.
Implementing this into my T. Apollyon runs.
I've been experimenting Censer against Dust (enemy). The item itself has a benefit to see Dust appeared from the light radius, which can be easily to use just to attack Dusts for a short time. That happened to me on the run.
i actually accidentally procced shade's effect one time back in afterbirth plus when he touched a mom's hand and until today i tought that the game got confused and tried to get shade back to the starting room and ended up just killing him
I think dogma got a buff after slower characters having the issue of getting sucked in at the beast fight
More on Aries, it will not prevent Tainted Jacob to be turned into a Ghost by Dark Esau, however, Ghost Jacob can use Aries to protect himself from Dark Esau's contact damage, even when Dark Esau charges at him
gb bug does damage to bosses instead of rerolling them
if you have stapler + tech2 you stop shooting out tears and you start shooting out tech lasers instead
It also works as Cain/T-Cain
Stapler makes you shoot out of only one eye. This also affects the few items that are eye-dependent, like blood clot. They instead become chance-based with 50% chance to proc
Once in a lost run i found Aries and the virus on the first floor, i could just ram enemies and gives them poison, really efficient
Still died to dogma tho
Really dangerous though. Aries loses speed when hitting enemies or changing directions and takes a bit to gain full speed, so you'll be getting hit often. Also, an even better synergy is with e coli, midas touch and serpent kiss, specially that last one
1. The Meconium trinket adds a chance to drop black hearts from black poops
2. Midas' Touch effect makes Ultra Greeds armor partially weaker
3. Shrinked enemies from God's flesh can be stepped on, instantly killing them
4. Using D7 on mirror world makes buyable items appear on shop (same for devil room)
5. Rosary item makes the bible item appear on every item pool
Wait what. I thought D7 just restarts enemy rooms
the 4th point also works with a reroll machine iirc
Thats the main reason i dont use gods flesh actually since i dont want to make enemies small
Not sure if mentioned somewhere, but Bob's Curse makes you immune to green poison clouds (like from enemies from the Corpse). Also I believe poison shots from Fruit Cake still have the old Serpent's Kiss effect and will give you black hearts.
Tainted jacob in his ghost form can survive an extra hit if he has an eternal heart. It works like a holy card for him
has this been tested with the white flame?
@@wyn9693 It works with the white flame and for some reason triggers twice against esau. Might be a bug since the mantle effect doesn't trigger the second time and you get "hurt" but take no damage.
Good video, as always! I didn't know about the effect from shade, the shiny rock effect from book of secrets and the sacrifical altar thing with the 2 extra black hearts. I always thought it's random xD
Also never noticed the screen effect on glaucoma, pretty nice detail.
Sacrificial Altar is also able to sacrifice Isaac's Head, ???'s Soul, and The Twins.
This destroys the trinket in the process, however.
Zodiac giving Gemini can be sacrificed without removing the item. (This might also apply to Umbilical cord, idk)
Ball of Bandages/Cube of meat will count the ball/cube as a single familiar until you get a 5th one when sacrificing.
It also only ever uses the *normal* Devil Room item pool for spawning items, even if Chaos is obtained or when playing Greed Mode.
Also if you manage to breakfast the devil room item pool, it'll always spawn 1 or 2 pentagrams instead of Treasure Room items.
Mimics real-life glaucoma, if you think about it -- it's hard to notice until it's _really_ getting in the way.
The Relax pill has the same butt-flame effect if you have either pepper when you consume it.
Also, the Sharp Key can open up the red door to Mom's Heart after you beat Mom in Gehenna even if you didn't pick up either knife piece. I think it can open the door to challenge rooms too but I haven't confirmed it myself.
It can open the "Strange door" in the depths
How do isaac RUclipsrs always have at least one planetarium on the first floor in every video
i freaking love this series, keep going. It makes me love the game even more for its attention to detail
I kinda knew about the Shade because it was written in the wiki but I guess it never reaches 600 damage so no one knows about it?
It is not an effect, but a lot of people don't know about Super bum transformation, when picking up Bum Friend, Dark Bum and Key Bum.
The most obscure and unknown transformation in the game, not only hard to get the items, but people usually avoid picking up 2/3 of those items lol
if people use external item descriptions its very openly listed as a transformation for the bum beggars
@@bloodfallenevileye5688 for people that use that mod, none of the effects shown here are obscure (or at least most of them), since the mod would also show them too
4:00 glaucoma’s blinding effect can also be removed with black candle like cursed eye
Nope, that won't work.
Using glowing hour glass as Jacob&Esau right after starting a run without leaving the room, removes Esau.This is actually pretty hard, since you need eden s blessing to give you the hourglass or you can use the console
Jacob & Essau "Reworked"
-Using Meat Cleaver on an Angel will make it spawn both keys pieces, even though it's the same angel
-Tear Detonator works with familiars' shots (worked for me with Fruity Plum before, don't know if it was patched or if it works with others familiars)
-Big Chubby blocks bullets
-The Tick can be removed picking up the Match Stick
Safety Scissors works with the bombs from the Ultra War boss fight
Thats pretty much Common knowledge by now
@@isauriferreiramacedo9886 ...wait which one
@@Jfrti everything except angel thing
Item Effect: Glyph Of balance affects Room Rewards and Champion Drops
The reason I mention this one is because people are heavily sleeping on it's Trinket/Soul Heart Drop potential. It's very easy to manipulate and you can get full of soul hearts just by clearing your entire floor. Also, if you don't like your trinket, simply drop it and clear the next room for a new trinket. This is just some of the few amazing ways you can use Glyph of balance which people tend to ignore.
Glyph of Balance is really good but too complicated to undeestand and use it properly
I'm not sure Aries' main effect is obscure lmao
its so weird that the beast fight, the very final one, is so so so fair and nice to the player considering you need to beat mother and hush to get to it
In my opinion its too easy
@@simond5598 agree fully, i think hush should be made more fair and the beast.. idk the beast should like, attack more? she always does the stalagmites attack which is stupidly easy to avoid and has 2 attacks she never uses
@@eltiolavara9 Well, i think hush is pretty fair, a bit complicated but really really boring and repetitive, most of the time i fight with him is just 3 minutes of "Can you die please? Thank you"
@@eltiolavara9 Hush wasn't unfair UNTIL Repentance. I don't know if it's a bug or not, but when at low HP, it spams like 3 or 4 attacks at once, which sometimes is unavoidable. On the other hand, the Mother bossfight is 100% fair.
The Heart Locket also works with Tainted Magdeline's "Hug" Heart Drops
Hugdalene benefits hardcore from Heart Lockets, eh? Hehe... Hoo boy, this'll help out immensely.
I like how no one know effect of breath of life beside invincible frame because no one even pick it up
If flame from birds eye hits rock spider its gonna be now lava spider
I think a lot of people already knows this but.... Lilith ignores the teleportation effect of cursed eye
i love that picking up black candle makes cursed eye just, eye.
You can use sacrifice altar on familiar spawned by Monster Manual, so you get 2 devil room items for free basically.
You can also use it on a Baby Plum that was summoned with Plum Flute for free.
@@murlocaggrob2192 finally. The best use for sacrifice altar.
The trinket dingelberry ( the Best in the Game XD) also converts enemy little poop's into friendly poop
if you use the book of secrets and your map is already revealed, it will open all the secret passages, similar to a: "I can see forever!"
When he spammed book of secrets it happened lmao
man, now i really want to try these items, i never knew some of these effects
10:35 to add a bit more to this
The payout is affected by anything that would affect a chest, so left hand/gilded key will make the payouts always red/gold chest ones, mom's key will double pickups dropped from them and all the trinkets that give extra payouts to chests (Matchstick, Safety Cap, Rusted Key, Ace of Spades).
However the more interesting part is that which enemy pays out is seeded so if you enter a room and kill an enemy with it and they drop an item from a gold chest pool, you can bomb out of the room(or use Sharp Key itself) and come back in to kill them over and over to spawn as many items as you want, this can also be used to get infinite pickups as well.
and for some extra tidbits
picking up Sharp Key will give you 5 keys
Sharp Key can open special doors (Door to Mausoleum, Door to Mom's Heart without the knife, Door to Mega Satan and even the strange door without the polaroid)
6:49 it is also true for epic fetus and eye of the occult with brumstone/technology and some other tear modificators.
That gives the sharp keys description a whole nother meaning to it
The key pieces give increased chance of eternal hearts apart from the usual increased angel room chance
You can do the same trick on items you can't see with void and abyss. Takes a lot of risk out of taking blind items
Hell yeah. Just subbed. I'm pretty close the platinum for this and I'm still learning so much. Really appreciate these videos!!!
fun shade fact: he always follows at such a delay that tainted esau will always pass directly through him, a great way of telling where esau will charge if you dont install the mod for some reason (tho actually now that esau is locked to 8 directions this may not work/matter)
Did you know (idk if this was covered but) Sworn Protector actually makes enemy tears curve to it so it can block tears easily?
Sharp key can unlock treasure room / shop / planetarium / library / downpour doors
also mega satan and moms heart door in the third alt floor
Im surprised how many of these i didnt know, even having dead god
If you have the heaven poop (i dont remember the name) and use the poop (??? starter) active, you will always poop the heaven poop without needing to take damage
Maybe I am mistaken but I think I am not:
The auras of Star of Betlehem and Hallowed Ground do not only buff you offensively, they also can protect you from damage with a similar visual effect from that of Breath of Life or Cone Head.
i have one: picking up midas touch while you have the poop will create the chance to spawn golden poop :D
Wait What? is extremely underrated I think, because people just see it and be like "Ew, butter bean, no" and don't bother to pick it up, when it's basically a rechargable bomb
its just so rare that people dont expect it and most active items are also still better than Wait What? especially in later floors
want to add about dataminer, dont pick up any tears ups or else you will lose your 120 tears
Hello. Maybe you didn't know that but Isaac's heart changes with BFF. The splash is bigger and push enemies away and got more random tears. Have a nice day 😊.
I can't remember if this has been mentioned in the last video, but if you have midas touch with poop, spawning poop with that item has a chance of being golden poop. This can be a really great combo since it can pretty reliably grant money. Poop also has 1 item room charge so it can be pretty stonk at a times.
So apparently Shade is even worse than we all thought, cool
I love how one of sharp key’s main affects is considered obscure.
I think its because people never use that item in their entire boi career. Im guessing you have but thats just what i know so it actually shocked me
Oh God the beginning of the video is reminding me of that one challenge in super Mario Galaxy where a bunch of cosmic clones start ambushing you
So that's why Dataminer was added to Ultra Secret item pool
No, Ultra secret rooms contain items with red color on them if I remenber correctly
@@homerosz97 You should charge for party pooper
the glitch involving suplex and soul of Samson has been patched, but if you try to pull it off, the blast from suplex will deal more damage and will have bigger range. That's a reference to this glitch! (previously it allowed you to "erease" an enemy/make it disappear)
No. 2 also spawns a fire if you have birds eye or ghost pepper. Wait what and butter bean also have this effect.
The marked one changed my opinion about that item lol
I love how aires' whole upside is obscure apparently
This was really interesting and had some helpful effects to know about!
The poop combined with hallowed ground makes both items actually good as opposed to situationally useful/absolutely worthless
Oh hey Guru, im not sure if you covered it in your "hidden effects" videos yet, but I just happen to stumble across something I myself didnt know about.
PHD actually makes blood donation machines to pay out 2 coins, instead of 1.
Who woulda thought that having a degree, could be useful to a money ridden build.
Yeah, I actually didn't know about ir myself. Although another person already mentioned this earlier so credits will be given to him. Thanks for being helpful nonetheless!
@@IsaacGuru Sure thing. Its the little things we all dont notice lol.
Like 6000 hours of this game does it to you XD
Butt penny has a secondary affect when popping poops you have a higher chance to get money. When combined with petrifed poop apparently you can even get multiple drops.
Wow, cursed eye, and Aries is actually a lot better then I thought. I have definitely had black candle and passed it up. I really like the shotgun aspect of cursed eye.
9:18 man i was thinking about this one day. Did not know it was a feature
Do the contact damage items stack? Like if you got the shade effect and then Aries contact damage do they stack and do more damage than just one item by itself?
Of course, they do separate damage individually. Plus, Shade itself can be stacked for more damage.
You didn't show it off but one really cool effect of King Baby is that it also makes Lil' Brim aiming his brimstone lasers.
Seeing to many Judas Shadow reminded me a lot to Badeline of Celeste
I believe the dogma speed minimum is to make sure that The Beast fight isn’t a guaranteed death during the sidescrolling and fire sections. I assume below around .8 speed you wouldn’t be fast enough to survive.
Most likely the part when The Beast sucks the player in.
The poop and fire fact combo also works with other fart related items
if you pick a character that starts without flight then use esau jr once and go for the second knife piece you can float like flight characters while looking like you are walking.
its more like a glitch I discovered most likely already found tho
The thing about poop and the bird's eye or ghost pepper also works for no. 2. When you fart out the poop bomb after firing for so long fire will come out with it.
Midas's touch deals extra damage to Ultra Greed
Some electric items get stronger when in water
I'll come up with more later :)
It's not exactly extra damage but it does affect him differently.
Sworn Protector specifically attempts to spawn an eternal heart after 10 shots blocked in a single room, and if it doesn't spawn one it'll take another 10 shots for another chance
so unless you've found a turret that constantly shoots even after the room is cleared, you're basically never gonna get an eternal heart apart from maybe in hush fight or similar cfights
I don't think it's exactly how it works. I did a bunch of testing and I got a drop on the 14th, 25th, 27th shot, it was never an exact 10. It may be that there's a set chance after the 10th shot but this would require a lot of testing.
what can I say, even after 1000 hours I still don't know everything about this game.
also did you know that the gilded key trinket gives isaac a key when picked up for the first time? it also adds the ability to get cards pills and trinkets from the golden chests along side the normal drops. meaning from one chest you may get a bomb, a key, a pill and a trinket, which isn't possible from a single chest without this trinket!
I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but lead pencil *always* procs on your 15th shot, so you can fire 14 tears before entering a room and instantly delete an enemy.
6:17 "few shots"
Yeah, just a little.
If the poop has that function with the fire..
What would happen with jupiter and ghost pepper/bird's eye?
I didn´t know many of the effects. Good video!
Similar to how hot bombs make you immune to fire, bobs curse (poison bombs) make you immune to poison effects like mushroom explosions and poison gas
Also id like to add that the shade absorbing was a thing BEFORE repentance.
I remember watching the Shade one long ago while watching Hutts
I was the first one who found out about the Breath of Life change.
Since I'm the only one using it.
breath of life is an S tier item if you're patient tho? free guaranteed cashouts from every blood bank and devil beggar
Gnawed leaf plus absorbed shade would be an amazing challenge run
How have I never seen book of secrets highlight rocks like that
I like how basically the main effect of the Aries is considered a secret one 💀
The crooked penny isnt that random. If you use the penny lets say 10 times in a floor and your game crashes, you know the order of results the penny has. This is specially helpful with items like backpack+hourglass, it allows you to cycle throw the outcomes since going back with the hourglass goes 1 step back on the "crooked penny roll list order".
Dont know if this count as a hidden effect but it is definetly a mechanic. I remember using this before repentance, hopefully they didnt change that, i didnt check it
also a good fact tech zero also connects with your friend's tears when you are playing co-op
The poop and hallowed ground will drop a white poop each room.
Dogma gives a +2 damage up, which is actually the highest non multiplier damage up that is unconditional. (Abaddon, 8 Inch Nails, and Death's Touch are the highest in item pools.)
I didnt know about the hallowed grounds one that is actually op if you have 4.5 volt
