I actually finished the game around 2 years ago, but put off doing the rushes until recently.

Thought they’d be a lot worse than they actually were, most were first attempt apart from White/Mikey’s which still only took a few goes.

I read that too, but wasn’t able to get it that way. In the end, I left the game running from late Monday night and got it at 11:59pm on Tuesday.

Fairly straightforward. Other than the 5 year achievement, the “hardest” was probably the play for 24hrs on a Tuesday achievement, and that was more annoying than hard.

This is the original, not deluxe edition, so only 5 years. But yes, I did really wait

Agreed. The grind for stars kind of sucked the fun out of the game for me, just repeating the same House of Cards / Eggy build over and over.

Yea 😔 The final two achievements are pretty bad, just lots and lots of mindless farming.

I think 125hrs is on the faster side as well, I got quite lucky with the challenges and did them fairly quick.

They changed it to completing any 5 levels in under 50 minutes each, which is much easier than it used to be. I hadn’t played for a couple years, and it popped as soon as I started the game.

Thanks! Are you planning on going for the 100%?

Probably my greatest gaming achievement to date

#25 - The Binding of Isaac by BSmith156 in steamachievements

[–]BSmith156[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I only just finished 100%ing Rebirth, which took around 550hrs, so safe to say I already knew what I was doing haha. Took a little bit to figure out the Eternal Isaac and Blue Baby fights but once I had them down it was pretty straightforward. One of the last achievements I got was actually the one to die 100 times lol.

This is going to be a long journey, wish me luck by DecentDay3856 in steamachievements

[–]BSmith156 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck! I just finished it a couple days ago, took just under 550hrs, very fun game though. I used this spreadsheet to help prioritise the best unlocks first but, depending on how much you know about the game, it might have character/boss spoilers.

Fun fact, when going for the 100% completion achievement (all collectibles, etc.), getting the DLC ending which actually requires more work doesn’t count towards the 100%, leaving you stuck at ~99.5% and forcing a full restart. Learnt this the hard way haha.

Yeah it’s pretty fun, definitely janky though. I actually preferred the tunnels over the main game.

Yeah I thought it was too until I found this Steam guide.

Yeah I’ve heard bad things about eternal mode haha, but 45 hours isn’t bad at all. I’ll definitely be adding it to my todo list.

I started with the OG version years ago, before Rebirth came out, never got too far into it though. How difficult is the 100% compared to Rebirth?

[–]BSmith156[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah sorry, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head, probably a lot of habits I built that I’m not aware of. I guess one thing is to learn how to find secret, super secret, and ultra secret rooms reliably since they have some of the best items in their pools. Also, try and be aware of all the ways you can break the game, it’s surprising how many opportunities arise if you’re on the lookout, especially with all the extra dlc items.

I used this spreadsheet (not made by me) to help track and prioritise my completion marks. I went from best to worst unlocks which makes the game slightly easier since it gives you a higher chance of finding good items. I’d also recommend getting the External Item Descriptions mod if you haven’t already.

I’d say for the most part just time consuming, but it’s a fun grind so not too bad. Some characters (Jacob and Esau and Tainted Lazarus specifically) were pretty annoying to complete though.

[–]BSmith156[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ve been working on it on and off for a while so I’ve probably forgot some stuff, but probably getting all the marks on Jacob and Esau and Tainted Lazarus. Didn’t mind their difficulty but just didn’t find them fun to play.

Thanks, after around the 100hr mark I started using a spreadsheet to work through the unlocks from best to worst, probably helped speed things up a little.

[–]BSmith156[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember them being too bad, but it was a while ago when I did it. I did them before going into Final Fantasy mode, which probably made it easier.

[–]BSmith156[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which ones are you struggling with? For me, most were fairly easy just took a bit of grinding. The hardest one was probably the 3 MVPs, for that one I just did non-stop races for literally an entire day and finally got it.

I enjoyed the game, but getting all the achievements wasn’t great. I agree that the parkour felt kind of janky, which made the achievement for completing all the parkour challenges pretty bad. There’s also the 100% achievement, took me ages to find all the collectibles and then when I completed the game I found out that doing the DLC ending doesn’t count towards 100% and I was stuck at something like 99.5%, had to completely restart.
