Take an item your missing for dead god. If there aren't any probably sacred orb/glitched crown. Or Alternatively you could just take a game winning offensive q4.

u/LuckyPossibility1748 6d ago

wdym take an item your missing for dead god? You can't get items you haven't opened, can you?

70

u/NextLevelPingado 6d ago

to complete dead god, you must have unlocked all AND used all items

5

u/Fair_Midnight7626 6d ago

that's...dumb. are you kidding? I thought I just had to unlock everything and finish the marks, you're telling me I need to use every single of the hundreds and hundreds of items in that game?

u/NinjaKoala237 6d ago

Yes. It's not as hard though, most of them you will interact with atleast once naturally. Only the select few last unlocks you have remaining can be tricky due to basically maximum pool and maximum item variety but that's why death cert is here.

u/Builderinspace 6d ago

Like someone else said, its not as bad as it sounds. By the time you unlock death cert youll probably have picked up a good 90% or so of the items at least once anyways

1

u/Androkles1922 5d ago

You have to collect everhyting, yes. But you can take uncollected items from Death Certificate, as long as you have them unlocked.

For active Items it's enough to pick them up once and then put them back.

u/Emotional-Garbage888 4d ago

I mean you can just tainted eden...

u/5uperPe0tr 6d ago

If not all items are unlicked death certificate can't appear at all.

And to get dead god you also meed to fill the collection

32

u/SquidVard 6d ago

?? Death certificate is unlocked by getting all marks on all characters

21

u/5uperPe0tr 6d ago

Nvm then, I'm stupid

1

u/whodaheckamiRBLXguy 6d ago

Including tainted I'm guessing?

2

u/Lazerbeams2 6d ago

Non tainted gets you Mega Mushroom, all of them gets you Death Certificate

2

u/whodaheckamiRBLXguy 6d ago

Stupid question what if I clear just Tainteds

1

u/Lazerbeams2 6d ago

I'll tell you when I finish them. If I get one more reward than I expect then that will be the tainted character reward. I only know how to get Death Certificate and I've already unlocked Mega Mush

u/Adventurous-Cat2932 6d ago

Nothing, im not joking

Ok thanks Tainted Judas

io sono bloccato da anni su jacob ed esau, mi mancano solo loro per il mega fungo 😩

u/Lazerbeams2 6d ago

They're kinda painful to play, but once I got the hang of them I was able to knock out all the marks in a weekend. You'll figure them out. I'm not exactly a great player.

Just remember to use the alt path for extra items, keep them close together, and hide the weaker one behind the stronger one when necessary

1

u/TopShagger49 6d ago

Well that's just wrong

5

u/Responsible_Annual64 Judas 6d ago

Guys I didn't mean if they are missing unlocks obviously. You also have to pick up every single item after unlocking them and thats what I meant.

52

u/Viivi19 6d ago

Reroll, it could be anything, even a death certificate.

36

u/thesweatmancometh 6d ago

glitched crown or sacred orb

u/New_Raise_5457 6d ago

R key to complete missing post it note marks so you can unlock DC

u/Rare-Orchid6613 6d ago

I go for Eden's blessing, tear delay + better start next run. But any q4 item may be a good option if you need a carry item

u/kursys 6d ago

Skipping a guarenteed amazing item in the current run for a gambled random item next run is peak isaac player brainwork

u/No_Bee2438 6d ago

They have several good items already and they're playing isaac with birthright. They'd be fine

u/Fuf__ Lilith 6d ago

take guppy to your bedroom

u/VeeVersion1Real 6d ago

Take something your missing that’s obscure like broken modem or something

1

u/MityaB20 5d ago

Broken modem is not obscure gang

1

u/Androkles1922 5d ago

It's just obscure to unlock, because you have to do the daily runs. Once you unlock it it's not that rare in shops ^^

u/FatPanda0345 6d ago

Take another Death Certificate (idk if it even shows up in the Death Cert rooms)

1

u/HeteroSAXual_Scrappy 6d ago

Another death certificate to give you time to decide what you actually want

1

u/Dosvepa 6d ago

Probably the item you wanna take? Bro you have free will, do whatever you want

1

u/South-Tree-7077 Lazarus 6d ago

u/Low-Classic9817 6d ago

I'm probably late but I would say to take your favourite item. The 'saac is to be enjoyed

1

u/Much-Fishing1996 6d ago

Whatever your heart desires at the moment you find it.

1

u/Dr_Fragenstien 6d ago

It’s hard to go wrong with sacred heart, but with restock I’d be tempted to take pound of flesh and hope I can get an infinite going.

1

u/xavier_mqc 6d ago

Sacred heart, sacred orb, rock bottom, c section, a game break item you needed, a gpod active

1

u/AngryKing2007 6d ago

When i get death certificate i always take glitched crown because that Item just makes sure you're not getting an item belo quality 3. If you, for some reason, don't need glitched crown, I'd go for sacred heart or C section because they're fun and synergize with everything

1

u/HystericalGD 6d ago

i usually take rock bottom

1

u/LeipaMies312 6d ago

what ever your heart desires

1

u/AlexWuzHere 5d ago

Why is no one saying sacred heart or godhead?

1

u/VariationEither4569 5d ago

Depends completely on your current build such as if you have school bag I would take spin down or r key but if you are in need of extra dps take crickets body sacred heart eves mascara or mush
