Hot take, but I think it's better to start on hard mode nowadays, since Repentance changed the shot speed of enemies, and getting used to the faster speed early is crucial.

Already on a 48 loss streak... this game is so tough but addicting as all hell

In the ending section, I'm surprised you didn't mention Counterfeit Penny, unlocked by playing the Shell Game 100 times (something which people generally don't do). But other than that, really comprehensive guide!

[bruex]

you forgot to mention that the angel statues are only breakable when you defeat the lamb/blue baby for the first time (this also applies to the big door, it dosen't appear until you beat the lamb/blue baby for the first time)
great video anyway!

Sharp key can be used to open the mega stanley door.

To any new players, I can't stress enough how great the External Item Descriptions mod is. It will make it so you don't need to constantly alt-tab to the wiki to see what items do before you pick them up and it is a godsend. Highly recommend grabbing it after beating mom once, just make sure you beat her before using mods as you can't unlock achievements with mods enabled until you've beaten Mom once.

I cant believe this game has gained such a huge following years after its launch 6 or 7 years ago. Such an amazing game.

[jamesdulak]

I'm nearly at 3 full save files (just need to find the last Death Certificate) but looking at this video really makes you reflect on just how much stuff you gotta do in this game. It feels much more doable when you unlock everything as each DLC comes out over the years vs having to do everything in Repentance.

Honestly, for starting players i would also recommend that they beat greed mode with Azazel immediately after unlocking him. It's easy and getting lilith early is really good.

Some may differ but i genuinely think that lilith has easily the best overall unlocks. Completing marks with her makes devil deals from decent to amazing.

The only downside is that is kinda hard to get use to her gameplay, but it's kinda compensated by being a really strong character, early boss killer and just a greed mode instant win.

Already am Deadgod, just watched to see a very good made guide. Good job dude.

[arthurlima]

you're the best, my man. by far you are my favourite isaac youtuber. i really like to see this kind of video!

[raven-ohnr]

We need a part 2, please. And if you do decide to make a second one lose don’t rush it. This one was so nice and I want you to have fun making a second. I wish you the best of luck my friend. Have fun and live on.

[brandonbonds]

Small note, and I may be mistaken, but when you were mentioning ways to affect the spawn rate of Devil/Angel rooms, I think blowing up Bums can also affect this.

Dead God life hack: Don't just save up all the hardest possible completion marks for the end and more specifically, don't do all the easy stuff immediately. On paper, this is a reasonable, logical way of handling checkmarks. What it ends up being in reality is a one-way trip to burnout city. The hardest characters to 100% complete, split somewhere between Jacob & Esau, Tainted Jacob, Tainted Lost and potentially Tainted Eden (milage may vary) are legitimately grueling and difficult even for long-term veterans. If you do those last and have nothing to do after the fact, you risk turning the end of your Isaac experience into a horrible grind that will do nothing but sour your feelings for the entire game and turn you off to ever touching it again. It'd be crying shame, given how post-100% is the peak experience with Isaac.

Instead, leave some simple and fun things that you don't feel you need the unlock for later while you grind away at the hard completion marks. This will leave you with the ability to take small stress-leaves from doing the hard stuff and let's you relax with something less taxing or frustrating. Second, it relieves you of the pressure that the hardest stuff in the game are the only things standing between you and Dead God, which from my experience helps with fatigue and morale. Then, when you finally nail that last T. Lost checkmark, you can then go back to clean up some of the last achievements as a sort of victory lap. After hours upon hours of learning every way in which the game pisses you off, being able to just kick back and remember why you put up with everything is always important.

The true trick to unlocking Dead God is knowing how to pace yourself. How not to stress yourself out more than what the game will already do to you.

sick video! only one thing, in 11:35 you talk about 5 nights at moms achivement, in repentance they changed it to a 3 winstreak with different characters instead of 5!

[kevinwenckunas]

Another good item to get for the victory lap achievements is Judas' Shadow or anything that turns you into a character that isn't The Lost. It still gives you the achievement and basically removes the challenge the third lap is supposed to have.

Plus having a whole run as Dark Judas with Brimstone and Mom's knife was incredibly fun

[lu-i]

Hey man, this vid is great honestly. i have around 150 hours in the game now but im still learning new stuff all the time :) good to see the channel grow!

[shadow_shine]

I've been watching people play for over half a year and still didn't understand half this stuff. Thank you, I'm hoping to get repentance for Christmas.
I got it. Died 14 time so far but I made it to floor three!
Heyy I've made a ton of progress. Took me 87 deaths to beat mom
So much easier from there.

[mario]

17:03 you said you unlock holy mantle by donating in greed, but what you unlock is holy mantle with the lost, the item itself is unlucked by default

[THUGRTED]

finally a video that actually helps rather than just some guy bitching about the playerbase.
