I feel like it's been a while since our regularly scheduled Binding Of Isaac update. Things were pretty uneventful for a while there, I was working on getting a Mother kill with The Keeper, and progress was slow. The first update is: after a frustrating loss yesterday in which I got to Mother but my dodging was horrible, I was successful two runs later with a high power Tech X build. The final loss count getting here: 65 losses and 1 frustrating win (more on that in a sec). I'm down to Jacob and Esau as the only hard character of the main group of characters to do before I move on to the Tained list. At this pace, I'll probably re-achieve completion by 2023!
About that frustrating win: I played through an alt path run up to the point where you fight the harder version of Mom's hand. I had a crazy good run and dominated the fight. Upon winning, a Delirium portal opened right in front of the door you knife to fight the harder Mom's heart. I didn't think anything of it at first, and went in to crush the heart, which I did. As I came back out, the portal was still there, and the animation from leaving the room put me right in it. I couldn't get out of the way quick enough, and was sucked in, with no way to return to the path to get to Mother. I nearly rage quit, but decided to kill Delirium purely out of spite. Not only did I win, but I did so without taking damage, something I've only done a couple times.
Anyways, time to get some Dogma/Mother wins with some much easier characters!
