The last 10 times I've gotten to the Chest floor, I've only gotten four red chests, not gold chests. Is this intentional, even if you never see the left hand trinket in a run?
Are you getting gold chests throughout the rest of the floor (i.e. is it just the starting room of The Chest that spawns red chests)?
Are you sure you're not mixing up The Chest and The Dark Room?
Ahh, I think that's it. Forgot there was a distinction between the two. Thanks.

I've been doing "complete 30 dailies" on my first save on Switch for like last half a year.
Because i like my risky plays i lose most of them and still haven't unlocked "Broken Modem".
During that time i mostly completed marks on second file on Switch.
- Unlock Wooden Nickel (beat Isaac).
- Don't pick up any coins, unless you need them for health, until you're about to go to the next floor.
- See here for good items to look out for.
Thanks for the tips. I'll work on getting the Wooden Nickel first, seems to be essential for Keeper.

I gave up on today's PS4 daily, I just cannot get on with Soy Milk. And they expect us to beat Mega Satan with it lmao
Die 100 times, win once... Maybe.
Keeper sucks.
I actually don't mind Greed mode runs with him tho
Netting a Swallowed Penny trinket in the first two basement floors in invaluable for Keeper runs.
Another trick is to milk sacrifice rooms via the extra coins you've left scattered around the floor for worthwhile angel room items after triggering them 6/7 times.
Most notably items like Holy Mantle, Sacred Heart and items that provide Flight.
The other tip is to leave Health Up items unclaimed on the floor until after you trigger a potential Devil Deal as they'll quickly get you back up to your 2-coin health allotment.
I'm at just over 1000. Have two or three more challenges till my second save file is 100%d.... And then I'm sure I'll start on the third one. I can't imagine ever getting bored of this game at thispoint. :(
I forced myself to stop after the first save file just so I wouldn't go crazy. As fun as it is, you miss out on so many other games while surrendering to the Isaac gods.
Other games I have to DIVE into, yknow? I can just load up Isaac and play for 20-30 minutes and chill. It's like tetris.... Like I used to just play NES tetris all the god damn time the same way before I got Isaac now that I think about it.
I wish I had some sort of play counter for that. Wellllll over 1000hrs

The final booster should be coming soonish I think?
They said February and that it was "half done" a month ago
But it's Nicalis so.....

Oh, you misunderstood. Now it's half done.
I wouldn't be surprised.

These look not fun
Also I think those are the End is Nigh's version of a charger. They run out of a breath like that after charging back and forth very quickly.

That seems to be the point of the delay.
As long as they don't put (too many of) them in a crazy layout, it shouldn't be too bad. But I won't be surprised by Nicalis's incompetence at this point.
I wish there was a way to transfer savegames between platforms. I've played dozens of hours on my Vita, but at some point I'm gonna get a Switch. I'm gonna buy BoI too so I can finally play Afterbirth, but I don't really want to have to unlock all those items and characters again..
Oh dozen of hours is nothing...
Honestly after restarting the game so many times those early times is honestly the best part.
You can use the same save across Vita and PS4...
OP
OP
Yea, being able to move my PC save to the Switch would make me insta buy the Switch version
Might be 100+ hours. Dunno.
I know, but I usually play it on the go. And as I mentioned, at some point I will replace my Vita with a Switch.
The site must be glitching because it says I wrote the post you're replying to lol.
OP
OP
I accidentally quoted your post instead of the one I wanted, and then edited later. That's probably why.
Anyway, whose ready to beat 30 dailies for a crappy item woooooo
The thing about the booster unlock methods is that when they're on the PC, the PC crowd of Isaac... doesn't really tolerate stuff like that, so I expect any really annoying unlock methods will be changed.

OP
He makes it sound like March was always the date and he didn't say "next month" in the middle of January lol
Having recently obtained all completion marks (except for ???), I was just comparing my stats with a guide to learn out how to unlock the remaining items. Apparently, I'm missing several items I should already have. For instance, I don't have Demon Baby and Abel, which are unlocked by beating The Lamb with Azazel and Cain, respectively. But I've got the completion mark with both characters. What's going on?
OP
OP
Have you picked them up?
They only show up in your item list and count towards completion if you pick them up.

After playing dailies on Switch for like half a year i finally achieved 100000001%.
...
Granted it's just on my first file. And i already started and mostly completed second file already (most of the characters, yes even Keeper and Lost, are already completed there + hard challenges like Ultra Hard, It's The Key). I only need to do the daily routine on my second file and finish up remaining challenges that i always leave because their unlocks are not only useless but actually counterproductive (like rules or suicide cards)

Am I crazy or is the European Switch version still on 1.1? What. The. Fuck?
Where are the updates?
Where are the updates?
I keep seeing videos of this and am really tempted to get it as I've got a 2 week vacation coming up.
2 things are preventing my decision to purchase though;
-I have Enter The Gungeon as my rogue-like fix. Is this significantly different enough to warrant playing both?
-35gbp is very steep for a game I'm not sure about. I already regret paying 25gbp for Shovel Knight after the hype the internet and critics gave it (very boring)

The physical version in Europe was published by a different company than Nicalis, and is updated differently
It's very dumb
I feel like it's quite a bit different than Enter the Gungeon. Binding of Isaac has way more items and synergies between the items which makes each playthrough feel very different than the one before it. There are also more systems at work in Isaac (devil rooms, angel rooms, sacrifice rooms, etc.) that help keep it fresh. I do feel like Enter the Gungeon requires more skill but Isaac requires more knowledge, if that makes any sense.

I kind of wanted to start a new save once the last booster was added with the several dozen new achievements, but the three daily achievements make me not want to do that.
Especially Broken Modem. I do not want to win 30 dailies. This will take me like a year to finish. For one of the worst booster items they've added.
That achievement needs to change. And I think it probably will, the PC Isaac players don't tolerate stuff like that because we know it can easily be changed on Steam.
