Hey, as an addendum to the thing with Meat Cleaver at 6:29 - it actually *does* allow you to get both key pieces from a single angel statue. The key (pun not intended) is to make sure you pick up the first key piece that drops *before* killing the second half of the angel you meat-cleaved. Once killed, the second half will then drop the other key piece. Hope this helps!
Meat Cleaver has a few unique interactions with certain enemies: - Most main/story bosses (a.k.a. Bosses that give you completion marks) can’t be split at all by Meat Cleaver - Delirium is the exception to the above rule and actually has no limit to the amount he can be cleaved (but don’t do that or you’re in for a world of hurt, lol) - Gemini and Visage will both immediately split into their two parts when cleaved, if a cord is connecting them. The same applies for enemies like Mr. Maw - Enemies that split naturally (i.e. Teratoma, Squirt, & The Fallen) will immediately take as much damage as necessary to split them into their parts - Segmented enemies (like Larry Jr.) aren’t split in half, but instead their number of segments is reduced by half, rounding down. - Cleaving Loki will turn him into Lokii. - Cleaving Chub, CHAD, or Carrion Queen will kill them instantly (likely a bug) - Cleaving the Horny Boys will spawn Loki and Hornfel separately, instead of two copies of the Horny Boys
Also, if you split a monster enough aka Delirium, I'm pretty sure they straight up die, so if you ARE going to meat cleaver the bastard make sure you have lots of charges to destroy him
Using the R key during the Ascent sequence will immediately take you to the Basement I floor of that Ascent sequence (effectively skipping it entirely), instead of starting a new run.
Ohhh. I found a Planetarium just yesterday and thought I had gotten it off a 1% chance because I had no other items that could have helped out. But I had gotten Sausage in a secret room on the previous floor. Very niiice.
@@dineez627 If you don't have flight, it's okay for being flight on demand, if you already have flight and you don't need to kill mom/mom's heart/it lives, then it's USELESS, specially of you're on Sheol. So, overall, a 6/10 I would say
Something else to note about Sworn Protectors' "vacuum" effect: Once it starts pulling a projectile towards itself, that projectile will no longer be able to damage Isaac, even if it doesn't actually get blocked. You can actually see this happen at around 3:23
The Evil Charm item, besides being a big luck upgrade, also renders you immune to gas clouds (useful in the Corpse), fear effects (the floating skulls in the Mausoleum and Gehenna) and the aura of Dogma's Godhead tears.
If you have Leo, Thunder Thighs, or the Stompy transformation, (or are under the effcets of The Nail), you can walk into Red Poop and destroy it without getting hurt. You’ll still get hurt if you’re standing on it when it reforms, though. The same is also (kind of) true for spiked rocks, but results can vary depending on Isaac’s speed, size, and possibly the angle of approach. You can also safely cross spike bridges that are made by bombing spiked rocks next to 1-tile gaps, when you have these items, but again results can vary.
I wish I had knowledge to give for this series. Only thing I can say is using forget me now (or 5 dice room) without going into the item room makes you lose planetarium chance (most likely bug)
Using the Soul of the Lost in the room with the Mausoleum door allows you to go through it for free, regardless of which character you are playing as. This is one of the only effects in the game that bypasses that door’s health requirement.
Minor addition to the Meat Cleaver combo, it is actually very good with Filigree Feather, allowing you to get a lot of free angel room items. I've managed to do this combination with Meat Cleaver + The Battery + The Stairway once, good times :D
So uh, i know this isn't a hidden item mechanic but its a cool detail when you do another one of those isaac facts/details. When playing as Tainted Lazarus when you're in downpour/dross in your reflection you see the other side of laz
Hey, so I found something interesting while playing Isaac a while ago, but I entered and item room on an alt path item room that I skipped over during the Ascent, and inside was Forget Me Now. I took it, used it, it restarted the floor, I noticed the item room was locked again, opened it up again, and the same two items were in there, including Forget Me Now. I did it a few more times, and I learned that you can actually loop the Ascent floor if the item room has Forget Me Now in it naturally (I think, haven’t tested it since). Maybe that could he something interesting to look into in a future video?
Since Hot Bombs deal contact damage as long as they don’t detonate, doesn’t that mean you could fill a room with undetonated bombs using Remote Detonator and have an infinite fire on demand to damage bosses. I can see that being used to cheese out Mother’s charge attack, since she can’t move if a bomb is in her path.
Here’s another one - if you use Mama Mega while you have a golden bomb, it will consume the golden bomb instead, letting you hang onto Mama Mega & use it a second time! This means you can get a fairly overpowered run if you manage to get the Schoolbag, Mama Mega, and the Everything Jar (which you wanna use with 11 charges to get a golden bomb on every floor)
You can also do the same with safety scissors and book of virtues as the wisp drops a gold troll bomb on being destroyed, so if you find a gold bomb or have a mirror active card, you can guarantee mama mega every floor
You kind of partially covered this in the end section lol, but Fast Bombs makes it so your bombs don’t knock each other around. Dr. Fetus also has this property.
The stat buffs from Experimental Treatment function similarly to D8/Pills which mean they affect your Base Stats. These changes remain even when ridding oneself of the item (via D4/100 or T.Isaac). Might be well known already but I discovered it myself two days ago
Similar to Bob's curse, hot bombs gives you fire immunity, for example fireplaces and contact damage from the fire bombs thrown by Hornfel. Also, you can also restock the shops in the mirror world by simply using a restock machine. If there is restock on the regular floor, there's also one in the mirror world, effectively giving you double shops.
Here's a neat little obscure trick that I think should definitely be in the next video: You have the Options? item as well as the Broken Padlock trinket and a chest + another pickup you really want/need spawns after you clear a room, you can bomb open the chest (except haunted chests), *grab the pickups that spawned from it and the other pickup won't disappear!* It's only if you touch the opened or unopened chest that makes the other pickup disappear. However, if the bombed open chest spawns an item instead and you snag it, it WILL cause the other pickup to go poof.
0:33 I always thought it was a stone pick, but I guess I now know better. 1:01 Okay, now that's just evil. 7:49 Man, Satan really decided to be a good boy today.
I have 2 that I think are interesting: 1) Cracked key is considered a card and has a chance to be replaced with a sack when you have Sack Head during the Ascent sequence. So maybe don't buy Sack Head if you're planning on beating The Beast. (found this out while scrolling the wiki randomly) 2) Using Eden's Soul, Alabaster Box, and/or Glitched Crown to exhaust any special room's item pool will not lead to Breakfasting. Instead, it'll start pulling from the Item Room's Pool when that special room's pool runs out. If you somehow manage to also exhaust the Item Room's pool, you'll start Breakfasting. (this one isn't in the wiki and I found it out by getting a broken Deleted run)
Even though this is kinda known in the community, I'm still going to suggest it - you can use Faded Polaroid to open the Mausoleum/Ascent door in Depths 2 instead of normal Polaroid/Negative
It can also be unlocked with Broken Padlock (if you have a bomb), Cracked Orb (if you have a way of damaging yourself), Sharp Key (if you have a key) and Soul of Cain.
dunno if this is on the wiki yet but I used "Forget Me Now" on Mausoleum 2 after killing Mom's Heart(was going for Mother route). It rerolled the floor but in the same theme as the room after Mom's Heart's death. There were permanent darkness and creepy music playing for the entire floor. The Shop and Treasure Room didn't have any items in them. Also I had to fight Mom again but not her heart
You can take all deal with the devil that u want if ther s a soul/black/bone heart on the ground and you take it during the animation, this works even with the forgotten(u don t need hearts you can simply switch ghost form to regular and don t die)
Magneto + Options? is pretty nice. If you get a grey chest, since you don't have to touch the grey chests to open them, you are now able to take the contents of that chest plus the other drop.
it would be funny if ed changed the golden ticks description to "Well, thats DEFINITELY not coming off." and its impossible to remove. Edit: just listen to the first reply and this comment no other every run shit no removes just stop
You can't die while in the state of activated t-samson/soul of samson/berserk. You are not immune to damage though, you just stay alive until effect wears off even if you're out of health. If you ARE out of health, you can prevent death by picking up any suitable form of health (red/soul/black/rotten hearts, health up items with any full health containers, healing with actives). But the fact is, lost and t-lost are able to utilise this. They have a hidden half soul heart, if you take fatal damage in the berserk state, you can avoid death by picking up a soul heart.
5:40 Thx for including my comment in the video! I have another item interaction too Picking up Tech 1 and Brimstone together will fuse the beams into a more powerful Brimstone laser with a damage multiplier
Here's a tip I learned from someone: alternating between normal and, well, alt-path will prevent Curse of the Labyrinth from happening, since you'll always be on the second floor. So: Basement 1 -> B2 -> Downpour 2 -> Caves 2 -> Mines 2 -> and either Depths 2 if you hate free stuff, or The Mausoleum if you're based and like free wins. If going via Mausoleum, that means Womb 1 is also skipped, since Mausoleum 2 will replace it.
If you have the Fuse Cutters trinket and you come across a Bombgagger enemy (found exclusively in Ashpit), it will actually defuse the massive bomb they spit out and give you a Giga Bomb. When you pick it up, the next bomb you use will deal 300 damage to enemies and destroy the floor tiles beneath it! (It may not destroy all of them if doing so would cause certain exits to be inaccessible), and send out a bunch of rock projectiles that deal 15 damage to enemies The only other way to obtain a Giga Bomb (barring TMTRAINER, of course) is to use Everything Jar on 12 charges, which will sometimes drop one.
I actually knew about the BFF Holy Water combo! I got it in a run just the other day, was quite a pleasant surprise. These videos are great, wish I knew of any weird interactions to share with others.
Cool to see whatever little secrets are in this game. May as well suggest some other stuff - Using Anima Sola on the mask of the Visage and then killing the mask permanently kills it instead of temporarily disabling it (might be a bug? does seem pretty thematic though) - Using Spindown Dice to get a quest item while having a natural reroll effect (T Isaac, Isaac's Birthright, or Glitched Crown) will cause the item to not reroll anymore (I had this happen with Dad's Note but I assume it works with the other quest items)
Bro, the developer clearly straight up lied in his interview when he said that sausage was just a favorite snack of his. Shit increases chances by 6.9%? Cmon. We all know it’s a penis know for sure.
book of belial gives extra devil room chance when held. Abel on cain and t-cain has doubled damage. Killing enemies with spider butt releases spiders. Strawman gives you 1 bomb. If you have lost contact and rubber cement tears will bounce off enemy projectiles instead of being destroyed. Blood of the marthyr gives you 1.5 damage multiplier combined with book of belial. Spear of destiny includes fear on enemies.
Great stuff, nice to see that it became a series btw! I didn't know about the pickaxe and iron bar synergy, the heartbreak effect on lost and found soul (I also rarely get this item lmao), the homing effect chance on ouroboros worm, the golden version of tick (that you can drop it normally) and the midas' touch armor weakness effect on Ultra Greed. Speaking of, does the pickaxe have synergy with midas touch, since it also looks like bar and maybe it will make the pickaxe golden? :D I really appreciate your content overall, although being an Isaac veteran, I still learn new stuff thanks to your videos! 👍
Catching a bishop enemy with a friendly ball makes them shield you but unlike their regular shield instead of blocking they take damage for you and after enough shielding they die, BUT they still function normally with your friendly charmed enemies so you can make an army of them as long as you keep the bishop alive....
I wanted to add, in one of the previous video it was mentionned that pressing the drop key with Marked will stop the auto firing, I checked it also works if you have Eye of the Occult and Brimstone, since it will act exactly as if you were holding Marked (I'm not 100% sure tho, but I think it may also work with Technology).
Using the Poop active item with Hallowed Ground spawns a holy poop, haven't seen that one mentioned anywhere. Makes the poop active item actually useful.
That trivia about Charm of the Vampire reminded me that today I found out Tainted Lazaus' inactive counterpart apepars as the reflection of the active part if walking on water. This game, man. Never skimps on details.
Using how to jump as the forgotten soul and switching to the body while in the jump animation teleports you instead of jumping (not really a hidden effect, still cool though) Oh and you gain more distance like this from a single use than normal
Great li'l series! I've got some things that are probably pretty well known but I will still share. Mom's Bracelet can pick up the Host enemy's skull, turning them into Red Hosts. The Ultra Secret Room Item Pool only has items that are mostly red. This includes Red Key, which I think is funny. D7 doesn't just restock the Mirrored Shop, it works in every special room. Except for the Boss, I think. Some angel room items cost 2 red hearts if they appear in the Devil Room via Chaos, and devil room items that cost 2 red hearts will cost 30 coins if they appear in the Stairway shop.
7:42 this isn’t unknown, at least from my experience. Thats the whole bad thing about picking rosary, decent tears up and +2 soul hearts, but you could get a good item replaced with the bible which in 99.99% of runs is going to be useless unless you get rosary early in the game with a character without an active item they start with
Gnawed Leaf also grants immunity to the soul of tainted forgotten. You also can move (and pick up the skeleton) while the effect stays active. If you have an orbital, you can easily kill enemies instead of waiting until they hit you.
Midas' Touch should be a passive effect honestly. Also you should be able to open the Mom's Heart in the Mausoleum with Mom's Knife, Yes Mother?, Sacrificial Dagger, Dad's Key (or it might be Sharp Key that doesn't open it, I wish the two were synced), and hell Spirit Sword/Spear of Destiny too, why not? It was a mechanic in Antibirth and it would be a nice attention to detail and a way to fix a common mistake of forgetting to get the Knife Pieces.
D7 on mirrored floor actually restarts the room (not only the shop). For example if you find a room in an unmirrored floor with pickup, chest or item in it, it will spawn it always in the same room in mirrored floor after using d7. Finding the ultrasecret room with batteries holding a d7 on this floor actually breaks the game. Thats why i love finding d7 before or on the mirrored world
Remote Detonator does control throwable bombs spat out by Bomb Grimaces, once picked up. The bombs can be carried throughout rooms without ever exploding until Remote Detonator is used.
I found out something cool with dark arts on t Judas which is you can slice your own corn bullets from monetezumas revenge as well as the fact that when you slice up something near a keeper in secret rooms and shops it allows you to destroy them for basically free destruction of them with no bombs
Stat changes or familiar generated from Metronome will persist between rooms (or until the item is used again) if you use it with Blanket or Holy Mantle/Holy card
Myth: Shop items in the mirrored world can be bought for the reversed cost that the item would originally cost (e.g. if an item costs 15¢ in the un-mirrored world it would cost 51¢ in the mirrored world) I haven't tested this out, that's why I'm just saying it's a myth. Also, a restock machine works if you don't have a D7, just like in greed/greedier mode 9:30
Mars can open spined chest and go into cursed rooms without taking damage. D1 spawns a random version of the doubled pick up (doubling a peny can spawn a nickle). Butter bean can do damage if it makes an enemy hit a wall or another enemy.
Dads key can be used to get in and out of boss trap rooms even if you don't meet the 1 heart requirement, and to add to this it might be worth it to alternate between normal and alt path because you'll have a high chance of getting a free boss item every floor
Speaking of reflections, when you play as t Laz the reflection shows his other character there instead of the one you currently are, and it also shows him with his respective items too! Its a really neat small detail I noticed a while ago Oh wait, just realised its about items and not the "underknows facts" one, oh well, it is still an interesting thing that nobody seems to know about, heh
Nose Goblin shots actually have piercing, you can see this when shooting through a fire. Eye of the Occult with Brimstone grants a Marked effect Host Hat protects from projectiles falling from the sky Purity's tear delay aura can break the tears cap We Need To Go Deeper can be used to dig up spots in the ground in Dark Room, or some Sacrifice rooms Magic 8 Ball contributes to unlocking planetariums, and gives a +15% chance to get a planetarium Terra (and maybe chemical peel i didn't test) actually has a way higher chance to break the door used to enter into a room as opposed to any other door. Either that, or it has a higher chance to break doors that were previously broken. this needs further testing
D7 actually restocks ANY room in mirror world, including special rooms. Yes, that means you can get like 5 planetarium items in one run.

- Enemies that split naturally (i.e. Teratoma, Squirt, & The Fallen) will immediately take as much damage as necessary to split them into their parts
- Segmented enemies (like Larry Jr.) aren’t split in half, but instead their number of segments is reduced by half, rounding down.
- Cleaving Loki will turn him into Lokii.
- Cleaving Chub, CHAD, or Carrion Queen will kill them instantly (likely a bug)
- Cleaving the Horny Boys will spawn Loki and Hornfel separately, instead of two copies of the Horny Boys
Chub , CHAD and Carrion Queen is not a bug they are 3segment worms so cutting that in half and rounding down will leave 1 segment that dies instantly
I Hope this gets added in the next vídeo!
Also, if you split a monster enough aka Delirium, I'm pretty sure they straight up die, so if you ARE going to meat cleaver the bastard make sure you have lots of charges to destroy him
@@adrianrandom3448 exactly killled him that way with beth
If you actually use the active item "the poop" while having the midas touch, you have a high chance to get a golden poop
It works the same for other poop spawns so things like re-lax the first segment on the everything jar and more things also work too
Hallowed Ground can cause both The Poop and A Card Against Humanity to create holy poops.
Omg, reading this comments i think now that the poop items were buffed a lot!!! I dont know if bozo can spawn rainbow poops
Yep bozo does spawn rainbow poops on taking damage which is real useful for blood donation machines
I don’t know if you covered this already, but T. Laz’s reflection is always his other form. Really cool detail.
cool fact, but I guess it's technically not an item?
Using the R key during the Ascent sequence will immediately take you to the Basement I floor of that Ascent sequence (effectively skipping it entirely), instead of starting a new run.

I wish I had knowledge to give for this series. Only thing I can say is using forget me now (or 5 dice room) without going into the item room makes you lose planetarium chance (most likely bug)
Planetarium chance is checked by floor number vs number of item rooms entered. Not a bug, just lazy programming spitting players.
Book of the dead now has a chance to spawn bone flys and rarely revenents but the chance of spawning the last ones increases if you are in dark room
I beleive the mausoleum also vastly increases revanant chance
Wth
Using the Soul of the Lost in the room with the Mausoleum door allows you to go through it for free, regardless of which character you are playing as. This is one of the only effects in the game that bypasses that door’s health requirement.

Add sticky bombs so that they stay on enemies and you're good to go

You can't die while in the state of activated t-samson/soul of samson/berserk. You are not immune to damage though, you just stay alive until effect wears off even if you're out of health.

But the fact is, lost and t-lost are able to utilise this. They have a hidden half soul heart, if you take fatal damage in the berserk state, you can avoid death by picking up a soul heart.
5:40 Thx for including my comment in the video! I have another item interaction too
Picking up Tech 1 and Brimstone together will fuse the beams into a more powerful Brimstone laser with a damage multiplier
And it also changes slightly the brimstone beam
Tech 1 is basically a free damage multiplier on azazel
Here's a tip I learned from someone: alternating between normal and, well, alt-path will prevent Curse of the Labyrinth from happening, since you'll always be on the second floor.
So: Basement 1 -> B2 -> Downpour 2 -> Caves 2 -> Mines 2 -> and either Depths 2 if you hate free stuff, or The Mausoleum if you're based and like free wins. If going via Mausoleum, that means Womb 1 is also skipped, since Mausoleum 2 will replace it.
but curse of the labyrinth is awesome!! who wouldn't want it??
@@sophiamartin2840 It fucks up Devil and Angel rooms chance.
This makes me wonder why Charm of the Vampire doesn't have some special effect with My Reflection
1:09 (also 69 seconds in) do you reveal the Planetarium chance increase through the debug menu.
Very very nice.
It's my Utility Commands mod - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2666310447
If you have the Fuse Cutters trinket and you come across a Bombgagger enemy (found exclusively in Ashpit), it will actually defuse the massive bomb they spit out and give you a Giga Bomb. When you pick it up, the next bomb you use will deal 300 damage to enemies and destroy the floor tiles beneath it! (It may not destroy all of them if doing so would cause certain exits to be inaccessible), and send out a bunch of rock projectiles that deal 15 damage to enemies
The only other way to obtain a Giga Bomb (barring TMTRAINER, of course) is to use Everything Jar on 12 charges, which will sometimes drop one.
Also fuse cutter while fighting the version of War during the Beast fight gives these bombs.
I feel like the bit about TMTRAINERs description being the opening line to the game with a pattern of ZZs over it would be a neat little trivia thing
I actually knew about the BFF Holy Water combo! I got it in a run just the other day, was quite a pleasant surprise.
These videos are great, wish I knew of any weird interactions to share with others.
”Dead cat” dissappears when you use all 9 lives and also removes the guppy transformation if you had it.
Wow so many little details. That vampire reflection one was absolutely nuts!
Cool to see whatever little secrets are in this game. May as well suggest some other stuff
- Using Anima Sola on the mask of the Visage and then killing the mask permanently kills it instead of temporarily disabling it (might be a bug? does seem pretty thematic though)
- Using Spindown Dice to get a quest item while having a natural reroll effect (T Isaac, Isaac's Birthright, or Glitched Crown) will cause the item to not reroll anymore (I had this happen with Dad's Note but I assume it works with the other quest items)
Bro, the developer clearly straight up lied in his interview when he said that sausage was just a favorite snack of his. Shit increases chances by 6.9%? Cmon. We all know it’s a penis know for sure.
1:08 that's why it is the true all stats ups
book of belial gives extra devil room chance when held.
Abel on cain and t-cain has doubled damage.
Killing enemies with spider butt releases spiders.
Strawman gives you 1 bomb.
If you have lost contact and rubber cement tears will bounce off enemy projectiles instead of being destroyed.
Blood of the marthyr gives you 1.5 damage multiplier combined with book of belial.
Spear of destiny includes fear on enemies.
7:50 damn boi satan selling bibles
shock content
Great stuff, nice to see that it became a series btw! I didn't know about the pickaxe and iron bar synergy, the heartbreak effect on lost and found soul (I also rarely get this item lmao), the homing effect chance on ouroboros worm, the golden version of tick (that you can drop it normally) and the midas' touch armor weakness effect on Ultra Greed.
Speaking of, does the pickaxe have synergy with midas touch, since it also looks like bar and maybe it will make the pickaxe golden? :D
I really appreciate your content overall, although being an Isaac veteran, I still learn new stuff thanks to your videos! 👍
Sadly it doesn't seem to do anything special with Midas' Touch.
Wow! Thanks for add my comments on this video! Here's the fact:
Safety Scissors defuse Golden Troll Bomb into Golden bomb.
Another fact I learned today: Blood Bombs can be placed at the cost of half a red heart if you have 0 bombs left
that's the purpose of the item XD
@@Shentai_80i I thought it was the HP up and the big creep puddle it spawned lol
Ngl I’m surprised to see wwwWario here
Catching a bishop enemy with a friendly ball makes them shield you but unlike their regular shield instead of blocking they take damage for you and after enough shielding they die, BUT they still function normally with your friendly charmed enemies so you can make an army of them as long as you keep the bishop alive....
Also having a friendly cultist means that if all monsters are killed it spawnes friendly version them....
"Once-per-room Holy Mantle Shield"
Sounds like a regular Holy Mantle to me lol
Blood of the Martyr grants an additional damage up when using the Book of Belial. This makes it a great item on Judas!
A damage multiplier, in fact.
Not sure if this counts but I've never heard anyone talk about it - Tractor Beam gives you a +1.0 tears up that can be stacked beyond the tear cap.
I wanted to add, in one of the previous video it was mentionned that pressing the drop key with Marked will stop the auto firing, I checked it also works if you have Eye of the Occult and Brimstone, since it will act exactly as if you were holding Marked (I'm not 100% sure tho, but I think it may also work with Technology).
4:48 I noticed that while having a run with that combo, pretty good synergy!
i love these videos because external description doesnt state a lot of these
Using the Poop active item with Hallowed Ground spawns a holy poop, haven't seen that one mentioned anywhere. Makes the poop active item actually useful.
Box of friends without any familiars gives you demon baby for the room
That trivia about Charm of the Vampire reminded me that today I found out Tainted Lazaus' inactive counterpart apepars as the reflection of the active part if walking on water. This game, man. Never skimps on details.
One cool secret thing is with Jupiter and any horse active item. When you have that combination you will not lose any speed when farting
That would be due to horses naturally setting your speed to 1.5 which is pretty useful on slow runs
That pog at 9:58 is amazing. My reaction to seeing that interaction
Pyromaniac not only protects from explosions, but also from fires and shots from red and purple fires
It does protect from fires as I already mentioned in one of the episodes, but not their shots. You still get damaged by them.
@@IsaacGuru Ah ok, because it did protect from fire projectiles in AB+ if i remember correctly
Using how to jump as the forgotten soul and switching to the body while in the jump animation teleports you instead of jumping (not really a hidden effect, still cool though)
Oh and you gain more distance like this from a single use than normal
I was expecting to not be able to drop golden tick even with match stick, but rather a golden match stick
fun fact if you are playing co-op with a friend and you have tech zero the lightning actualy connects between your and his/her tears
True co-op
If you aim marked on your feet while holding cursed eye you will shoot at a way higher tear speed
Shot speed or tear rate?
dirty mind + butt penny will make a friendly dip spawn everytime a coin is picked up
9:23 restock machine can also restock shops in mirror world I know that's not an item but I think that's really interesting
Collect TMTrainer in a room with enemies will set all of then on fire for some reason.
So I wasnt crazy when I thought that Glitter Bombs charm the enemies.
Good. lol
One interesting fact about sacrifice alter is that it works on trinkets that gives you familiars. Don't know if anyone is aware of it
Great li'l series!
I've got some things that are probably pretty well known but I will still share.
Mom's Bracelet can pick up the Host enemy's skull, turning them into Red Hosts.
The Ultra Secret Room Item Pool only has items that are mostly red. This includes Red Key, which I think is funny.
D7 doesn't just restock the Mirrored Shop, it works in every special room. Except for the Boss, I think.
Some angel room items cost 2 red hearts if they appear in the Devil Room via Chaos, and devil room items that cost 2 red hearts will cost 30 coins if they appear in the Stairway shop.
7:42 this isn’t unknown, at least from my experience. Thats the whole bad thing about picking rosary, decent tears up and +2 soul hearts, but you could get a good item replaced with the bible which in 99.99% of runs is going to be useless unless you get rosary early in the game with a character without an active item they start with
Gnawed Leaf also grants immunity to the soul of tainted forgotten. You also can move (and pick up the skeleton) while the effect stays active. If you have an orbital, you can easily kill enemies instead of waiting until they hit you.
Gideon has a funni crawlspace if you kill him with chaos card. Wow
Midas' Touch should be a passive effect honestly.
Also you should be able to open the Mom's Heart in the Mausoleum with Mom's Knife, Yes Mother?, Sacrificial Dagger, Dad's Key (or it might be Sharp Key that doesn't open it, I wish the two were synced), and hell Spirit Sword/Spear of Destiny too, why not?
It was a mechanic in Antibirth and it would be a nice attention to detail and a way to fix a common mistake of forgetting to get the Knife Pieces.
D7 on mirrored floor actually restarts the room (not only the shop). For example if you find a room in an unmirrored floor with pickup, chest or item in it, it will spawn it always in the same room in mirrored floor after using d7. Finding the ultrasecret room with batteries holding a d7 on this floor actually breaks the game. Thats why i love finding d7 before or on the mirrored world
Remote Detonator does control throwable bombs spat out by Bomb Grimaces, once picked up. The bombs can be carried throughout rooms without ever exploding until Remote Detonator is used.
I found out something cool with dark arts on t Judas which is you can slice your own corn bullets from monetezumas revenge as well as the fact that when you slice up something near a keeper in secret rooms and shops it allows you to destroy them for basically free destruction of them with no bombs
Sausage adds a 6.9% to find a planetarium? No wonder Isaac is being so cheeky.
Nice.
Stat changes or familiar generated from Metronome will persist between rooms (or until the item is used again) if you use it with Blanket or Holy Mantle/Holy card
6:52 if you kill one angel and pick up its piece the same angel that was created from the cut will drop the other
Firemind spawns hot bomb's fire when tear explodes. So item is more useful when combined with ipecac or explosivo.
That D7 trick is gonna be really helpful
10:26 Isaac's perfectly cut scream from the large amount of chests
Myth: Shop items in the mirrored world can be bought for the reversed cost that the item would originally cost (e.g. if an item costs 15¢ in the un-mirrored world it would cost 51¢ in the mirrored world)
I haven't tested this out, that's why I'm just saying it's a myth.
Also, a restock machine works if you don't have a D7, just like in greed/greedier mode 9:30
Fortunately it doesn't work like that. The price is still the same even though it's displayed backwards.
Mars can open spined chest and go into cursed rooms without taking damage.
D1 spawns a random version of the doubled pick up (doubling a peny can spawn a nickle).
Butter bean can do damage if it makes an enemy hit a wall or another enemy.
Unlike Godhead, Spoon bender and Telepathy for dummies, Sacred heart does actually give you homimg bombs
Dads key can be used to get in and out of boss trap rooms even if you don't meet the 1 heart requirement, and to add to this it might be worth it to alternate between normal and alt path because you'll have a high chance of getting a free boss item every floor
I guess it's kind of obvious but smelting, swallowing or using the "Gulp!" pill on the Tick also lets you pick up other trinkets afterwards
Speaking of reflections, when you play as t Laz the reflection shows his other character there instead of the one you currently are, and it also shows him with his respective items too! Its a really neat small detail I noticed a while ago
Oh wait, just realised its about items and not the "underknows facts" one, oh well, it is still an interesting thing that nobody seems to know about, heh
Isaac at the start : ARG who is the Keeper?...
Isaac now : Wow, Kidney Stone changes pee color
Nose Goblin shots actually have piercing, you can see this when shooting through a fire.
Eye of the Occult with Brimstone grants a Marked effect
Host Hat protects from projectiles falling from the sky
Purity's tear delay aura can break the tears cap
We Need To Go Deeper can be used to dig up spots in the ground in Dark Room, or some Sacrifice rooms
Magic 8 Ball contributes to unlocking planetariums, and gives a +15% chance to get a planetarium
Terra (and maybe chemical peel i didn't test) actually has a way higher chance to break the door used to enter into a room as opposed to any other door. Either that, or it has a higher chance to break doors that were previously broken. this needs further testing
I'm unable to reproduce The Common Cold one.
@@IsaacGuru Whoops, i meant Nose Goblin.
