#mega satan

So there I was.  Womb II.  No key pieces.

I went into a curse room, with a red chest, that teleported me to an angle room.  Finally.  I got my first key piece.

I made it to the cathedral.  Literally my only way of getting the second key piece at this point was for there to be a self sacrifice room.  Low and behold, there was.

I got to very low HP. But I teleported to an angle room. Within the angle room there were four purple fires, at leaset two of which gave me spirit hearts. Then I bombed the angle and got my second key piece.

Damn, now all I have to do was get to the chest.

I didn't have enough HP left to teleport to the dark room using the self sacifice room.

So I went on to fight Isaac. I won. I went to the chest with 2 HP. Luckily, by the way, I had Holy Mantel, otherwise this run would not be possible.

Anyway, I get down to the chest thinking the chest will "carry me" as it so often does.

But no.

My first four items are basically useless.  Mom's perfume was probably the best pick up.

I explore. My first room is double adversary. I nearly die.

The entire floor I think I found about 4 chests, but only because I had contract from below.  So really, it was only two rooms that actually dropped a chest. One of which, by the way, was the quarter. Wowza.

So I go in search of the secret rooms, hoping, praying, that there was at least a single heart I could pick up before going to fight mega satan.

Greed fight, of course.  No luck there.

Second secret room. I fly there. I find it with little to no trouble.

Inside are 5 pills. Fuck it, I thought. I might as well give it a shot.

The first four pills were so meaningless I don't even remember what they were.

I pick up the 5th and final pill. I look at it. I eyeball it. I smell it.

I take it.

Balls of steel.

Longest yeahboy ever.

I go fight mega satan. I have an empress card ready. I pop it as soon as I go in.

Against all odds, I've finally done it.
