Personally, I would pick glitched crown for my death certificate since it gives you 5 options on each item which always makes the run won. Maybe spin down dice too since it turns toothpicks into sacred heart and blood bag to brimstone, these two items aren't very rare and you'll probably see both of them in a normal run
Glitched crown is ok, but this run would've been about 30 minutes longer just cycling through options. Yeah, it nearly guarantees a won run, but most runs can be won with not even half the stats you can get from cheesing the options. My go-to for Death's Certificate is almost always going to be Magic Mush, if I already have that, then I go right to Rock Bottom. If I somehow have both of those, I go get Judas' Shadow. Once you get past like 20 damage, the game starts to really struggle to do anything about your situation, and I have flubbed more good items because of Glitched Crown than I would care to admit. If Glitched Crown gave another like half second between cycles so you actually have some time to work out what you're about to pick up, it'd be a no brainer for me.
@@point-five-oh6249 I dont get people who would take magic mush from death certificate, dont get me wrong its an amazing item but its not even in the top 10. And Judas' Shadow? youre trolling right?. Glitched crown is definitely a better choice than magic mush, and judas' shadow (although rock bottom hey I mean depending on where you are in the run could be nutty.) Also its really easy to always get what you want from glitched crown using the pause screen, you can look up a tutorial
@@hush3956 because you haven't really read why. I said why but allow me to explain it again, because Binding of Isaac can be won with less than a fraction of the stats you'd get out of glitched crown, there's no point in the item unless you're just doing memes. So instead of wasting time cycling through items, just get the items you'd go for anyway. Magic mush or Judas' Shadow are literally all you need in damage to win the run. Yeah, further items allow more safety, but the damage you get out of those two is more than enough to win almost any run.
I'm pretty sure the claw machines have 25% chance for paying out. So sinvicta's chance of failing 8 times in a row is about 0.9%. Now that's some sinvicta luck right there.
Glitch Crown, Sacred Orb, or C-Section are probably the best options for an early Death Certificate. All instant wins IMO. Glitch Crown is 5 options for a high chance of one of them being good its just "harder" to use than Sacred Orb. Sacred Orb is self explanatory. C-Section can melt bosses with base damage, has positive synergies with almost every item in the game, and has built in homing spectral sudo-piercing like homing Trisagion without the damage penalty.
Sacred Heart it's way damage up and homing tears, it's a strong item to choose, but it's a tedious choice, why not choose an item that is fun AND greatly increases the win chance ? like the itens that you mentioned.
id just hold r with eden death sertificate, if not for damocles option a lot more fun ig glitch crown/sacred orb are too broken and too easy to win with
Tbh, if given a death certificate, im taking glitched crown no second thought. But for sin, he’s all about consistency, so it makes sense for him to just take the best stay item that provides instant insane value, and guarantees value for any other stat up. Sacred heart provides a much higher floor which is what he values

Happy Monday, y'all!
Just as a note, bombs have been buffed a huge amount against bosses with armor like Hush. They now ignore all boss armor and deal their full 100 damage. Most bomb effects also have piercing properties now too so poison and burning for example don’t get reduced to 1 damage per tick thanks to armor. Bomb bag because of that is actually a really good item for closing the gap from the drop in damage you get from boss armor.
When he kept failing that clawmachine I couldn't stop thinking about that one line from Metallica's All Nightmare Long "You crawl back in, but your luck runs out, ah!!"
i actually dont think cricket’s head wouldve been that huge in terms of damage, because the multiplier doesn’t stack with the multiplier given from magic mush. still sucks that you basically got robbed though lol
its super weird i’ve gotten it with sacred heart and magic mush on occasion and it only gives you like one damage even tho you still have the multipliers from magic mush and sacred heart
Hey Sin, my personal recommendation for an early Death Certificate would be Sacred Orb because you'll gain profit from it for the entire run and it tends to rarely let you down in my opinion. :) Love your vids, your Metal: Hellsinger video made me purchase it and so far it's cast every game I currently play of their thrones except for WoW and Isaac so yeah, I appreciate you and your uploads a lot; they're part of my daily routine at this point!
Death certificate depends on the floor. Playing this seed later, I’ll either settle with glitched crown, sacred orb, maybe even sacred heart like you chose. Like you said, the item you choose likely determines the rest of the run and the build you obtain. Rock bottom I might consider but that can be boring if it doesn’t offer a great combo. There’s a lot to take in, so many choices. When I did a daily run (September 15) I got death certificate. Since I was close to the end I was gonna choose sacred heart but touched Trinity shield due to my size but it definitely does make you think.
I took a Sacred Orb with mine, usually it's a good pick but was somewhat lackluster this seed. It did give me a blind item D6 but even most of its rerolls were just average.
One of my top contenders for death certificate at the start of the run is Polyphemus for the same reasons you took sacred heart. Massive damage and a multiplier that future-proofs your run. Edit: Holy crap he got it.
Having death certificate makes you really think, if you have everything, what is there to really have from it. I realize its not the best phrasing but if you know what I mean then good.
Rare Transformations streak Day 12 till Sinvicta gets Bob transformation Day 12 till Sinvicta gets Oh Crap transformation Day 12 till Sinvicta gets Stompy transformation Day 12 till Sinvicta gets Super Bum transformation
Probably getting glitched crown is the best choice tbh. You're most likely always getting a good stat up from boss items, smth useful from treasure rooms, plus very high chance of getting a top tier angel item.
imo death certificate is the most fun when it's used to compliment a build the run shapes into later on, like getting pyro with Dr fetus or Jacobs ladder or tech 0 with monstros lung. Either that or getting something like glitched crown or sacred orb
With that start it was a no brainer, I would also pick sacred heart because it gives homing shot and so much damage, and also because you got tears up from the boss item. Not taking guppy with diplopia was a really bad choice, when you got the damage upgrade for your flies, it was also a no brainer to take guppy.
I used to do a but a couple weeks ago for some reason my external lost all my binding of Isaac save data :( I had gotten pretty far but I feel really beat on it because lord that’s a lot of work. Also my guy skipped out on double diplopia with a restock in shop
Crickets head would have only given a small damage up maybe +2 or +3 with the multipliers. You lost the same amount of damage trying to get the machine to pay out lol
Personally, if I was to pick a Death Certificate item, I'd heavily lean towards the Dogma Item. As the item given to you upon beating Dogma, it has a lot of good effects. Flight that cannot be removed because it's a story item (you can fly during The Chase), one-time use Holy Mantle (like a holy card), prevents your speed going below 1.1, +2 damage, if you have less than 6 full hearts, it heals all red hearts you have up to 6, and grants soul hearts if your total HP is still less than 6 (excluding the Lost(s), Keeper(s), forgotten, and bethany who gains charges ) Flight, shield, speed, damage, healing/soul hearts is a pretty excellent deal for any item, especially if it's a normally unobtainable one without fighting a specific boss. in my eyes, it's worth taking for the prestige alone, let alone the effects.
I admire that sin didn't just pop death cert and grab brim or sacred heart kr something like that and actually thoughtabout it . If I get death cert start I'm going straight for glitches crown, spindown or sacred krb
Day 782 of the logbook of evil Isaac-developers: “Magic Mushroom certainly is magical with all its upgrades. But what if it becomes even more magical. Magic Mushroom should have a 50% chance of disappearing every time Isaac enters a new floor. Now that would be true magic!”
I think the go-to with death certificate, for maximum fun, would be to get a little ways into the run to see if you get anything that would allow for a broken synergy. Getting late into the run with no signs of something like that? rip death cert. and get sacred heart
I think the best thing to get on an early death certificate is either sacred orb or cracked crown cause it just destroys the rest of your run with the amount of items you can find
Uranus for those Freezing Tears is so nice being about to nope the on-death effects of enemies. Mercury for speed running rooms also has some love in my book Terra for bomb saves since it can break doors and walls and isn't a bad upgrade for tears either just less useful IMHO from the pair above. And considering how little I normally go for Planet items it is a nice get for variety.
with an early death certificate im pretty sure id always go eucharist, because the chance of up to 7 angel deals out-valueing every other item in the game is pretty high.
Another item I could have seen you go for is tech .5. You walked by it and it seems like a great carry support item, giving you a constant stream of multiplied magic mushroom damage.
Yo Sinvicta I’ve had the same problem with mods not loading properly and for me it even caused Isaac to not even open. Here’s how I fixed it: Uninstall and reinstall Isaac and make sure no mods are installed yet, then go to all 3 save files and open a new run on all of them (you can leave the moment the run starts) and then close Isaac and redownload all your mods. Hope this helps! Cheers! Edit: Make sure to uninstall all mods FIRST before uninstalling Isaac, im not sure why but it causes the files to not load properly.
Planetarium streak: 1 _(+1) [Streak started! Lo Score: -2]_ Best streak: 4 // Worst streak: -19 Total encounters (since RR#1): 63, including 2 red _(+1)_ Items taken: - Sol: 9 - Mercurius: 11 - Venus: 11 - Terra: 9 - Luna: 4 - Mars: 4 _(+1)_ - Jupiter: 3 - Saturnus: 4 - Uranus: 8 - Neptunus: 12 - Pluto: 10 What a run, indeed! I mean, even from the beginning it was bound to be magnificent, but the ramp up was still incredible to behold. This is the rare kind of run that just keeps on giving. It even featured a Planetarium! Literally no flaw =P _[Spoilers/discussion ahead]_ If I ever get a Death Certificate close to the start, the one item I'm always tempted to pick is Sacred Heart. Huge damage multiplier and homing at the cost of some tear rate and shot speed, plus bonus health. It is a bit of a crutch item, but it does the job fairly well, especially considering how unskilled I usually am. In this position, though, I would maybe have taken Revelation. Getting access to flight early on, plus extra Soul Hearts and the Holy Brimstone did sound just great as well, especially considering Eden did start with Magic Mushroom. And finally, shout-out to the Telescope Lens for coming at the absolute worst time, as it always do. Still waiting on that redemption arc =P
The thing I don’t understand about not taking babies to get conjoined is that people froth over having inner eye or mutant spider and that gives you all the tears but also gives a huge tears down. I find those far more annoying than the conjoined transformation
Real question here, if u have the item that allow you to hold 2 space bar item(forgot its name), you get death certificate, and diplopia, can u dupe a whole room and take them all?
Okay, just because I've got to ask: What is that staticy Cross between Purgatory and Evil Charm at 10:03? Looks like it's got to have something to do with Dogma, but I've never seen it before.
it’s the item Dogma you get after defeating dogma. the only other place you can get it aside from the boss battle is in the death cert floor but it’s not very good it gives flying, a one time holy mantle and maybe a few stats not 100% on that one tho
I mean.. there is no Rock Bottom run that you cant twist into something usable. I get the Sacred Heart because its more immediate damage but as far as Im concerned, Rock Bottom is just really hard to pass up.
I was hoping Sin would talk up his decision, go back and forth, sound indecisive narrowing it down to Sacred Heart and God head, and say that he was going to choose the outright strongest item....and then choose Sissaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy
If you want to have fun with different offensive playstyles, maw, sword, and revelation are serious considerations. For setting up the rest of the run, glitched crown, sacred orb, binge, or rock bottom seem to be the best picks. For big picture stuff, genesis and r key are good considerations. And of course you have pure stat ups like sacred heart, polyphemus, godhead, crown of light.
day 360 of my comment streak. wow, talk about a start to a run. dont think it could have gotten better than that. very powerful run today. always love the powerhouse runs so hope yall have a great rest of your day and i'll see you tomorrow :)
Sin you had infinite diplopia and passed on it, when diplopia was in the shop if you used it you could've farmed pretty much infinite consumables and potentially shop items Granted the run was already won by this point so I also get the logic of just not farming
I finally unlocked glitched crown and ever since I’ve had great luck. Somehow I manage to get the item I wanted 9 out of 10 times without using the pause trick. And I sometimes struggle with binge eater 😅
I realised you said press the like button and my like button was highlighted with a rainbow animation, didn't know of that feature Edit: ofc im rewatching old videos
There are so many items that people say "its op if you also have X item!" Death certificate should be saved until you get a 2-item combo. I would have popped it for pyromaniac when I saw curse of the tower Money=Power x DeepPockets would have been good
I would take eucharist on the first floor I think, get like 6 angel items over the course of the run any of which could be something like revelation or sacred heart or the stairway even for double angel items seems really powerful
Personally, I would pick glitched crown for my death certificate since it gives you 5 options on each item which always makes the run won. Maybe spin down dice too since it turns toothpicks into sacred heart and blood bag to brimstone, these two items aren't very rare and you'll probably see both of them in a normal run

3/4^8 is 0.1001. Move the decimal two places to the left to get the %. So it is closer to 10%

Question since you bring this up, what happens if you diplopia in the death certificate room? Would you still only be able to pick up one item?

Sacred Orb is the play.
Glitched crown is better but its annoying to use
Love your name
For a moment I though u said Cracked orb and was all like "this man's insane!"
Picking itens that only increase your damage it's good but not fun. This is why i never chose Sacred Heart, there's a lot of more nice options.

All sin has to do is put death certificate in the thumbnail and I'm sold
Glithed Crown, Rock Bottom,Sacred Orb: AM I JOKE TO YOU?
I think Glitched Crown is one of the best Death Certificate picks. It just has the biggest potential to make the run interesting
heavily agree
With that start it was a no brainer, I would also pick sacred heart because it gives homing shot and so much damage, and also because you got tears up from the boss item.
Not taking guppy with diplopia was a really bad choice, when you got the damage upgrade for your flies, it was also a no brainer to take guppy.
You know an item is good when it makes you pause the game and think
I used to do a but a couple weeks ago for some reason my external lost all my binding of Isaac save data :( I had gotten pretty far but I feel really beat on it because lord that’s a lot of work. Also my guy skipped out on double diplopia with a restock in shop
I would Pick Pyromaniac because of this course of the Tower on Floor 2
Crickets head would have only given a small damage up maybe +2 or +3 with the multipliers. You lost the same amount of damage trying to get the machine to pay out lol
For this start, I would of personally went for pyro because of the floor 2 curse of the tower and go for a bomb / red heart build. But that's just me🤷
I would have taken rock bottom starting with magic mush and a tears up
Personally, if I was to pick a Death Certificate item, I'd heavily lean towards the Dogma Item.
As the item given to you upon beating Dogma, it has a lot of good effects.
Flight that cannot be removed because it's a story item (you can fly during The Chase), one-time use Holy Mantle (like a holy card), prevents your speed going below 1.1, +2 damage, if you have less than 6 full hearts, it heals all red hearts you have up to 6, and grants soul hearts if your total HP is still less than 6 (excluding the Lost(s), Keeper(s), forgotten, and bethany who gains charges )
Flight, shield, speed, damage, healing/soul hearts is a pretty excellent deal for any item, especially if it's a normally unobtainable one without fighting a specific boss.
in my eyes, it's worth taking for the prestige alone, let alone the effects.
I admire that sin didn't just pop death cert and grab brim or sacred heart kr something like that and actually thoughtabout it . If I get death cert start I'm going straight for glitches crown, spindown or sacred krb

Mercury for speed running rooms also has some love in my book
Terra for bomb saves since it can break doors and walls and isn't a bad upgrade for tears either just less useful IMHO from the pair above.
And considering how little I normally go for Planet items it is a nice get for variety.
anyone notice the bomb fly death sounds (and the room clear door opening) at 38:23 sync up exactly to the music?
with an early death certificate im pretty sure id always go eucharist, because the chance of up to 7 angel deals out-valueing every other item in the game is pretty high.
For those wondering. The crane game has a 10% chance of not paying out after 8 plays.
Crickets head wouldn't have done much at all. It's multiplier doesn't stack with MM.
Another item I could have seen you go for is tech .5. You walked by it and it seems like a great carry support item, giving you a constant stream of multiplied magic mushroom damage.
My recommendation for that first floor is grabbing that first item and then getting rock bottom since it spawns pills
Yo Sinvicta I’ve had the same problem with mods not loading properly and for me it even caused Isaac to not even open.

Day 587 of drinking a glass of water whenever I watch the Repentance streak.
Friendly reminder: drink some water today ! (You too, Sinvicta!)
Not even a second thought I go sacred heart everytime
That is absolutely my favorite item, insane damage and I don't have to aim
Even a God Start can’t defeat Sinvicta Luck
Hey sinvicta, have you ever thought about compiling a comprehensive lore video on Isaac and the surrounding games?
I'd play the long game and go with R key
Amazing commentary man. I love the way you describe everything, especially how some of the math works behind the scenes. Reminds me a lot of Bisnap!
literally the worst luck on those claw machines. I swear I usually get those 5 cent items in just 2-3 uses every time
Me and my friends watch this all the time and we always find it interesting! very good 🥰
Day whichever of magic mush madness! I'll be celebrating appropriately this weekend
"Yeah" ~Sinvicta
The thing I don’t understand about not taking babies to get conjoined is that people froth over having inner eye or mutant spider and that gives you all the tears but also gives a huge tears down. I find those far more annoying than the conjoined transformation
There is a reason his nick name has always bawl baby brady.
Real question here, if u have the item that allow you to hold 2 space bar item(forgot its name), you get death certificate, and diplopia, can u dupe a whole room and take them all?
You’d still be teleported after taking one
No, you can only get one item before the others disappear. You can use moving box to get 10 additional items though.
My top picks for early death certificate would be sacred orb or glitched crown
Okay, just because I've got to ask:
What is that staticy Cross between Purgatory and Evil Charm at 10:03? Looks like it's got to have something to do with Dogma, but I've never seen it before.
it’s the item Dogma you get after defeating dogma. the only other place you can get it aside from the boss battle is in the death cert floor but it’s not very good it gives flying, a one time holy mantle and maybe a few stats not 100% on that one tho
I mean.. there is no Rock Bottom run that you cant twist into something usable.
I get the Sacred Heart because its more immediate damage but as far as Im concerned, Rock Bottom is just really hard to pass up.
At the start? D6, D-Infinity, spindown, glitched crown… really whatever I’m feeling but starting off with a reroll is nice
Hey is it just me or does magic scab look like an amogus crewmate
Did anyone else get confused when on floor 2 he walked into the exact same room that was on floor one
I was hoping Sin would talk up his decision, go back and forth, sound indecisive narrowing it down to Sacred Heart and God head, and say that he was going to choose the outright strongest item....and then choose Sissaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy
If you want to have fun with different offensive playstyles, maw, sword, and revelation are serious considerations. For setting up the rest of the run, glitched crown, sacred orb, binge, or rock bottom seem to be the best picks. For big picture stuff, genesis and r key are good considerations. And of course you have pure stat ups like sacred heart, polyphemus, godhead, crown of light.
My go-to death certificate item is glitch crown, I like all the options it gives you but there's still some randomness to it
✨✨✨PSA: BACKSTABBER HAS BEEN UPGRADED AND IS NOW A GOOD ITEM ✨✨✨
Red key hands down. It might not be the most optimal thing but I love the red key.
Me: "Yeah Sinvicta you sure got screwed on gupPOLYTHEMUS!!!!!!!"
day 360 of my comment streak. wow, talk about a start to a run. dont think it could have gotten better than that. very powerful run today. always love the powerhouse runs so hope yall have a great rest of your day and i'll see you tomorrow :)
Daily like-streak explanation streak #7: Claw game said you have a damage multiplier at home
Bro did not even CONSIDER glitched crown it is literally the best passive item in the game
"Yeah...Yeah...Yeah...Yeah...Yeah...Yeah...Yeah..."
Silence
sacred orb or possibly c-section are my picks
Sin you had infinite diplopia and passed on it, when diplopia was in the shop if you used it you could've farmed pretty much infinite consumables and potentially shop items
Granted the run was already won by this point so I also get the logic of just not farming
i like to go sacred orb, doesnt guarantee the win but still makes for fun runs
Random comment streak day 868
/Something about me being tired and being glad to watch this video/
I finally unlocked glitched crown and ever since I’ve had great luck. Somehow I manage to get the item I wanted 9 out of 10 times without using the pause trick. And I sometimes struggle with binge eater 😅
In my opinion, the go to is eucharist/goat head of it's early enough in the game to maximize the loots depending on how I feel. Anyway, super video !
Before I would take sacred heart, personally I'd prefer eucharist
Ive been loving the Golem videos, spend more time crafting, its not always a race! Love you bro
Thank you for making your videos so consistently, they help more than you know.
I'm taking the golden ladder for those extra angel items
I realised you said press the like button and my like button was highlighted with a rainbow animation, didn't know of that feature
Edit: ofc im rewatching old videos
There are so many items that people say "its op if you also have X item!"
Death certificate should be saved until you get a 2-item combo.
I would have popped it for pyromaniac when I saw curse of the tower
Money=Power x DeepPockets would have been good
I would take eucharist on the first floor I think, get like 6 angel items over the course of the run any of which could be something like revelation or sacred heart or the stairway even for double angel items seems really powerful
I'm a sucker for a red key, I have so much fun with it.
i go sacred orb every time unless it’s a late death certificate then i go for something else
