If The Lost starting with both Holy Mantle and the D4 is genius or retarded. On one hand you've got a very strong risk/reward element, because you could potentially become a superb character, at the cost of losing the mantle... but on the other hand you could replace it with utter shit and die 5 seconds later.
According to Ijed, after like 2 rerolls you get Mom's Knife... but still likely not worth it imo, Holy Mantle is the best you can get. D4 is kinda dumb on him once you get Mantle.
Well there are 3 items that make the lost a playable character - mantle, dead cat and stopwatch.
He also needs a lot of damage / ROF items to ease the amount of concentration needed and not make the rooms so drawn out that you eventually crack. If it was me, I'd have him start with a passive item which destroys 1 other item each time he's killed, but then brings him back to life. If you run out of items and die then you die for reals. This would have to be immune to the D4 to have any point. https://twitter.com/iamisaacsbody/status/665475939166371840
There was some ARG going on that ended with people finding a poster with a phone number with a message and then finding a Greed statue in real life... and apparently has unlocked a new character that we can now get by maxing out the Greed Mode donation machine https://www.reddit.com/r/bindingofisaac/comments/3ss8oo/the_afterbirth_arg_a_stepbystep_summary/
Full storyline of the ARG if anyone is interested. Just destroyed hush with Lusty Blood or whatever the retro samson item is.
Basically it ups your damage for each minion killed :D And it seems that mega greed now goes red when he becomes damage resistant. And the greed machine keeps locking after 1-3 coins, even though its supposedly at 0% The red is Ultra Greed being enraged, which happens when he picks up coins or gets healed by heart coins. Pretty sure it just makes him faster at everything.
Maybe, but I had a OP damage run and thought I saw him going more or less red depending on how much I whaled on him.
I think he also enrages just for the fuck of it too, cuz Edmund realized he didn't bother to balance Greed Mode at all and it was fucking easy beyond the first floor so he had to do something to make it tough at the end.
Swallowed penny Keeper run - had the key for mega satan plus a load of carry items.
Cathedral, stepped on some spikes then (without picking up coins) wandered into a super secret room with two magnetic champion invisible demons (the one with runes on the floor). GG Ohh, web based daily leaderboard.
https://greedbutt.com/ At least I can compete against everyone else... all you scums stopped playing the daily :( https://greedbutt.com/player/76561197992650935 Start playing the daily again - finally hit the wall with the unlocks.
Just got the especially BS challenges to unlock now, plus the final completion pips for the Lost and Keeper. SPEED! is incredibly fucking broken. The stopwatch item nonsense already proved they don't have a reliable method for modifying the game clock, this just confirms it. The Keeper isn't so bad. The real hurdle is getting the wooden nickel, once you've got that (kill Isaac in Cathedral) he's pretty playable. I can see the hush being frustrating unless you luck out with orbitals and possibly the soul as well. The Lost does look pretty good with his new stuff, although the D4 is irrelevant with the Holy Mantle in tow. Both these characters are very susceptible to the random BS the game occasionally throws at you though. So they can wait.
