To unlock the final chapter of the alternate route, Corpse, you need to find and assemble all three pieces of a knife hidden throughout the Alternate Route, then use it on the fleshy door that appears after defeating Mom in the Mausoleum however, if you have Mom's Knife, you can use that instead.It even comes with its own synergies: for instance, Monstro's Lung causes the spin to also fling tears in all directions, Mom's Knife lets you throw the sword during the spin attack, Lost Contact allows it to deflect bullets, and Technology reskins it into a Laser Blade that shoots Frickin' Laser Beams and has slightly longer range. Additionally, both the regular swing and the spin attack will launch Sword Beams. Cool Sword: The Spirit Sword replaces Isaac's tear attacks with a sword attack that works much like the one in the Legend of Zelda games the fire buttons now swing the sword to attack at melee range, and holding down the button allows him to perform a Spin Attack.
The temptation for using it for free powerups is significant, and if you decide to ditch it after doing so, it'll just keep showing back up in place of normal items, not only depriving you of a normal item, but also ensuring that the temptation is always there. but every use will PERMANENTLY lock away one of your heart containers. It's also an example of Schmuck Bait using it will generate an item from the room's pool. If you use it several times and then ditch it for another active item, it will show up as the next item you get.
The Alabaster Box is a weird variation.The Witness resembles a zombified Mama Gurdy, which is fitting considering that it was inspired by a false rumor about an undead variant of Gurdy being a secret boss in Rebirth.The Visage is a revived Mask of Infamy, locked up in an iron helmet and chained to its heart.
The alts all feel substantially unique (except corpse maybe), planetariums are great, new boss mechanics are really innovative (rotgut holy shit)… I just love everything about the mod as a wholeĤ - my favorite thing by far is the music, though. Eye of the occult, r key, dirty mind are all great! So many good items and I’m praying Ed put some into afterbirth+ (he did that with a few from the last fanmade expansion right? Ludo and champion belt).ģ - love both of the new characters to death, will be sad to not see them in the official game. But also I wouldn’t be surprised if they thought of it themselves (the antibirth devs are so damn creative), and it was definitely handled better than I did itĢ - birthright isn’t even my favorite item though. got a good thousand upvotes and was on the top of the reddit page for awhile, so maybe? Haha.
It’s my last day to talk about antibirth before afterbirth+ rolls in so… Some pointless thoughts on that:ġ - i feel like birthright was inspired off one of my item ideas? The Wish Granter one.
