As I complete more of these challenges, I will update this page with new information such as unlocks as well as strategies, so come back often.Ĭheck out more Isaac Walkthroughs What did you think of this The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth Plus Challenges list? Have any tips and strategies to share? Let me know in the Pit below. There you have it, a look at the new The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth Plus Challenges. Given the massive amount of damage you do, collecting fly spawning items makes this challenge trivial. Starting Items: Cupid’s Arrow, Rubber Cement Items make the tears bounce around the room, giving a Pong like effect. PONG is a simple recreation of the classic game, Pong, but by using the classic Isaac tears. Try to gather as much healing as possible near the start of the run if you want any real chance at this run. Strategy: The name of the game here is healing. Other difficulty spikes include NO HEART DROPS, GUARANTEED DOUBLE TROUBLE BOSSES, and only the Negative drops on Mom kill. These curses cannot be lifted using traditional means. Disclaimer: This video was made during the Afterbirth+ era, but all of these items are still very powerful and worth unlocking in Repentance. The second thing is that the player will suffer curses: Curse of the Labyrinth, Curse of the Lost, Curse of the Maze and Curse of the Blind as they progress. The first is that any enemy or boss that can be in Champion form, will be in Champion Form. ULTRA HARD is also fairly self explanatory. This challenge is ULTRA HARD. Also keep in mind that you will want to keep a charger in the ball as much as possible, in order to have a friendly spawn at your disposal. Keep in mind that the ball refills on the death of the spawn, so you should be using it multiple times per room. Strategy: The key to beating the POKEY MANS challenge is utilizing The Friendly Ball correctly. Starting Items: Friendly Ball, Mom’s Eyeshadow Instead of having to catch a new enemy every time, The Friendly Ball will automatically spawn a new, random enemy, every time the previous sent out enemy dies. Unlike a normal run, The Friendly Ball works a bit differently in this challenge. Players are tasked with using The Friendly Ball that make them akin to that of a Pokemon master. Remember that the items you pick up will be randomized, so a lot of the run is out of your control. Strategy: As there are both Item and Shop Rooms present in this run, treat it similar to a normal run.
This challenge is all about that randomness! You will also find that your location on the minimap is random. For example money becomes health and items you pick up end up being not what they appear to be (Krampus Head on pick up is another item for example). If anyone can confirm this that would be nice.ĪPRILS FOOLS starts the player in Basement I and essentially switches the roles of most items. I am pretty sure each time you go to a new floor you lose one health, but also sometimes an item (?). I basically looked for builds that had high damage at MS and went from there. Strategy: This one is kinda hard to present a strategy for. You control both characters which can be a bit tricky especially since item pickups are only applicable to the character that picks them up.Starting Items: From my testing they appear to be randomized on every start.Ĭhallenge End: First Floor (You work from Mega Satan all the way back to first floor where the trophy will be) Jacob is an interesting character due to the fact the character itself is actually two characters (Jacob & Esau). Beating The Witness will probably take you a few tries, but once you manage to defeat the boss, Jacob is unlocked. In order to unlock this unique character, players must fight and defeat Antibirth’s new end boss The Witness.
Unlocking Jacob takes a bit more work than simply collecting things. So how do you unlock her? To unlock Bethany simply do a run in which you have 12 Soul Hearts at once (easy way is to do a Blue Baby run). Note: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth AND Afterbirth ARE REQUIRED FOR AFTERBIRTH+ DLC <3 When Isaac’s mother starts hearing the voice of God demanding a sacrifice be made to prove her faith, Isaac escapes into the basement facing droves of deranged enemies, lost brothers and sisters, his fears, and eventually his mother. Bethany also has a built in system that uses Soul Hearts, Black Hearts and Immortal Hearts to contribute a point of charge to her active item. These flame orbitals also shoot tears and can stack to an absurd amount (having multiple rings is insane). Hook Worm: Tears move shifting left to right forming a path of right angles. Starting with the new active item Book Of Virtues, Bethany is able to summon orbitals with each item charge. Flat Worm: Isaacs tears take on an oblong appearance.
