Binding Of Isaac-Ultra Hard

Honest question Sup Forums. How is anyone supposed to fucking beat the ultra hard challenge in the Binding Of Isaac?

Just spent 3 hours grinding out a placenta run with alright damage, only to die to mega satan at the last second.

Bump. This doesn't include grinding countless hours of holding R for a decent start

Git Gud

It doesn't matter if you get a good build, if you don't know how to play, you'll never beat the game.

>Git gud

Don't give me that shit, I have all the achievements except for this fucking one because it's hid behind this stupid fucking challenge.

It's a fucking broke ass challenge, because Edmund threw a fit

So has anyone actually beat it

So noones beat it then and pretty much no one can offer and good solutions. Fucking great, thanks Sup Forums, you never let me down

If a human egg can beat it so can you

Honestly, the hardest part of that challenge is making and keeping the mental map of where you are and where shit is the entire time. Having to go through the same room 5 times because you keep getting teleported around is suffering. Otherwise, git gud.

Dudes committed career suicide, he's got thousands of hours ahead of me.

I'm literally just grinding runs and they never work. It's fucking ridiculous

Just get shittons of damage and some kind of shield. If you have to, keep an invincibility or two (like the chariot card) all the way to the end.

>Git gud

Prove to me you have the achievement faggot. Cause obviously your so fucking good right?

I have all the achievements except this one, I completed the lost before he was made easier cause everyone cried about it.

But go ahead, Git fucking Gud AYYYY LMAO GUYS GIT GUD.

Fucking filth man I swear.

It's what I've been trying to do, but it seems the run is either high in DPS with little to no defence, or high defence with little to no DPS.

Alright, gimme a minute to login to Steam and screencap it.

that's the thing, your only hope is shittons of DPS and praying you can avoid long enough. He will definitely shit on you, so defense just prolongs the agony.

Learned that the hard way. Literally grinded a 3 hour run, only to die at the last second.

Also does he change his attack patterns for ultra hard? Because I hemmoraged a bit of hp on a pattern I didn't recognize

Here you go.

Can you still just alt-f4 before the death screen to start over at the beginning of the floor? Just do that shit.

I stopped playing before Afterbirth, but there is no fucking way I would have gotten all The Lost cheevos if I couldn't reset the floor.

Get a Timestamp with it you fucking garbage pail

I never knew this existed, though I have a feeling it would corrupt the save file?

Just accept you are not good, you clearly got lucky with the other achievements.

Faggot.

>clearly got lucky

Then you clearly just cheated :)

So, you can beat Ultra Greedier with The Lost but not this? What is wrong with you?

nigga northernlion did the ultra hard challenge with ???'s only friend

You only need 1 great item and not suck dick at the game to do this

go be mad somewhere else

By the time ultra greedier came out I had holy mantle. Besides that devil deals are free and so is that button.

>mfw beat Mega Greed and Delirium as the Lost thanks to booger tears

I don't know how steak bosses calculate damage, but stacking up all that DoT absolutely melts them

>not calling ???, blue baby

I'm sorry how new are you?

Booger tears and smelter are hands down my favourite items in the new dlc.

I might actually just wait until I get booger tears for a run. Might be the easiest way to beat it.

So what, no reply from OP? Did he accidentally use Plan C?

I call him blue baby in speech

Oh wow, your really definitely not new at all. My humbling apology....


Fucking hack mans I swear.

See Either way your not contributing at all, you trash mons

OP utterly btfo

I started playing the original Isaac in 2013.

You sure are one mad, salty fucker, user.

Oh I'm sure man. I'm really sure.

Alright then OP. Why don't you post those achievements if you're so good?

>samefagging this hard

...

I'm in mobile atm, taking the train to work. If you wanna wait be my fucking guest. Hell I could even send you an email with it when I get back

Egg did it so anyone can do it

...

Ah, but I wish. Alas, I only see one (You) directed towards mine divine presence. Stop acting like a fruit user, please.

>tfw modded in my big gay fursona thanks to easy mod tools.

>divine presence

Welp, I've gathered all I need to get from you now havent i?

Promptly leave the thread and find the nearest bus station, cause I aint replying to a heathen like you.

Yeah, but Greedier has a hard damage cap and another "Here, fuck you, my game is hard. I promise!" boss.

Very true. But I've dought the first phase enough times thanks to grinding it that I can do through it relatively quickly.

And greedier is easy so long as he doesn't spir those fucking coins at you. But if you can bait him into not doing that, your fine.

Also moms knife half meIt's the boss armour

Welp I gotta go. Thanks for everyone who gave some decent replies

As for the others, we all know you ain't good.

>As for the others, we all know you ain't good.
Nobody in this thread is good.

Yeah, I keep an Algiz for his stupid ass.

I could do it, but I don't have the patience man. Holding R too long, pressing R after I take one hit. OCD is suffering, man.

Also, fuck the Meat Boy achievements. I didn't even get that in the original Isaac. What a bloated, random achievement. Hell, we can't even use Book of Revelations like it used to be.

I have no idea why Ed wants to try to push his "good game design" on his single player game so much. I've beaten harder shmups in my sleep, but I can't bring myself to 100% this mess despite loving the game.

Forgot my half-assed picture. I still don't have Holy Mantle for the lost because fuck playing greed Mode for 30 minutes only to have the machine break after 4 coins when you are holding 99. I do switch up who I try it with but fuck. If it breaks on 1 coin, which is possible, and Greed Mode takes about 30 minutes... that is 29,970 minutes to fill the fucker. 499.5 hours. 20.8 days.

Ed, suck my dick. I love your game, but you could've made better choices.

Did Antibirth ever get that update?

>Dudes committed career suicide,
Why? Dropping antibirth for abp?

Honestly, I'd say it all comes down to luck and your first two items. The more you can keep your health up, the better you can run the game.

I wound up winning with my first item room being Magic Mush, and second being Book of Revelation. Having the book made keeping health up = more safe (even if blind) devil deals, leading into a more powerful run.

Without some form of health generation (Book of Rev, satanic bible, the nail, placenta with ton of red hp, blank card sun, etc), your delaying the inevitable. You have to play really really good, but noone can play flawless. Your gonna be the RNGs bitch.

>Also, fuck the Meat Boy achievements.
You're lucky, it used to be that you weren't locked into a the one that first appeared until it was patched, before that you had to pray for BoR in Basement, then for it to spawn the item you wanted, then it keep spawning it 3 more times after that, and pray that Conquest or Headless Horseman didn't appear and fuck it all.

>I still don't have Holy Mantle for the lost because fuck playing greed Mode for 30 minutes only to have the machine break after 4 coins when you are holding 99.
Greedier has more generous rates for coins, and if memory serves it was "buffed" to decrease the rate of it breaking down. Used to be that you could Glowing Hourglass the fuck out of it, but that was patched out I believe. If in doubt, switch characters as each one has a different rate of jamming that isn't tied to the rest.
>Ed, suck my dick. I love your game, but you could've made better choices.
This is why the steak meme exists.

Real men completed The Lost back in Rebirth.

I'm not on board with "big" players like him or nothern lion (haha, NL finally found a game that people will watch him play), but the big consensus is that AB+ is nothing but garbage.

My favorite guy, Smitesa, who has broken this game countless times, did a unique stream. He counted how many bad ideas and good ideas there were as he came across them.

youtube.com/watch?v=HCAwLhTJgvo

Right Angles. Take a look at the room with the doors, two doors on the left and right, one in the middle, so you can divide the room into a 2x3 set of squares.

Ignore the top two or bottom two squares. Only use a 2x2 area. Whenever he jumps, move one square away at a right angle. Rinse and repeat and he dies pretty easy. Never be touching the wall, so that his missed coins don't explode up your ass.

Alternatively get D20 and break the run til you get Pyromaniac and shit.

>long awkward silences

It was the entire stream and you've seen like 4 minutes of it. He's not going to talk much during the setup. He usually has some other SomethingAwful commentators jump in.

>(haha, NL finally found a game that people will watch him play),

What? He's been at it for a long time now and his other shit picks up in viewers too

If you want the "good stuff" that is more to the point go to youtube.com/user/itsallup/videos

I recommend either the Isaac shit or Arcade Pit which is like that old show Nick Arcade, but online and ongoing.

Ultra Hard is pretty bullshit, but here's what you do:

You play it until you beat it.

It sucks, I know, but eventually you will get an OP run and you just win.

Man, my reg date on SA is 2003, I'm an original Sup Forums moderator, and I've seen the entirety of the Let's Play growth. NL was a laughingstock for years before he ever picked up steam. Can't say he's bad now, but it took him long, hard years to get where he is.

Boogers are so fucking broken that I'm assuming Edmund is going to eventually nerf them.

>Man, my reg date on SA is 2003, I'm an original Sup Forums moderator

Sure thing my man, I'm actually Moot and I know NL IRL

It's in Afterbirth +, so you should inherently not give a fuck about it.

There is no strategy. You're just supposed to get lucky. That's it. Don't put yourself through this, Afterbirth + isn't worth the pain.

Except I can prove my stance and you're just being snarky.

...

AYYYY EVERYBODY!

If anyone wants to add me before numods delete this thread, because they still hate me.

Call me new, but why the fuck would they hate you?

go to bed grandpa

I was giving out smiley codes to Xenon, making the entire page 0 of Sup Forums stickies, and breaking all sorts of rules. When moot said "Sup Forums has no rules, even for mods" he meant "as long as MrSpooky isn't doing it because he goes overboard". It's just a meme to target me at this point.

Can't do it, man. I work 5-1.

Ultra hard is one of the easier achievements in the game simply because you still get item rooms.

If you really want to cheese it just keep resetting till you get a broken item from the first room like polyphemus or whatever.

Well, at least it sounds like you had fun with it.

nobody will fault you for just cheating it to 999 after the glowing hourglass nerf

Yeah, man. Good stories, good times. I end up taking anons down memory lane all the time.

I'd fault me. Ed really is a shithead when it comes to balance and I'm not above abusing in-game mechanics, but I won't resort to cheat engine. Thank god I held off on buying AB+ though. I don't need a slew of uselessness in the already shaky pool of items.

You aren't the OP I hope

Nope. I recognize that that challenge is easy. Cat Got Your Tongue is harder, but I got that because I wanted that item in my pool.

>2 save files to go
Wtf its this shit

You just got the last achievement you needed, right?

my last achievement was Dedication

Speaking of streamers, how do you guys feel about BrainTM?

Guy has the charisma of a brick wall imho

He wants you to get 3 save files 100%. He's great at game design.

Haven't seen him. I'll check him out.

Oh shit, he's way more serious about it. That's way different. I'll still check him out further.
