The Marathon can be unlocked in Repentance

[Gauge]

After reading how the achievement is bugged and not getting it with previous attempts I was pretty surprised when it popped up today when I finished my daily run. I definitely unlocked this in Repentance as I had the Mother's Kiss trinket in the run today. I died in the Monday (30th August) daily run then won the next five without skipping any days.

I wonder if maybe they've changed something server side for the daily runs and it's fixed it? Or maybe you have to lose a run and reset your streak to get it trigger? I'm not sure what other people have tried, but whatever happened I was able to get the achievement so it should be possible for other people.

Very interesting... Maybe it's just that?

On AB+ you could skip days, the streak continued as long as you didn't start a Daily run then died/quit it (basically: start it, win it). Maybe the requirement was changed to force five consecutive days?

Would require testing. Anyone willing to help?

To contribute to this interesting question I can add:
Today I won my 5th Daily Run without dying between the runs. The achievement did not unlock, but I had to skip one day, so at least I can say it has not been fixed yet.

Nevertheless, it could still be possible that they mean 5 consecutive days...

That's the thing though.
Is there something to fix if the requirement got changed? Rephrasing: if it can now be unlocked with 5 consecutive won dailies, is this change intended or not?

Edit:
Worse: was the "you can skip dailies if you don't want to risk it on some days" actually the real bug that got fixed with Repentance?!

We've talked about that and 5 nights at mom's in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/250900/discussions/0/3031473435678534805/

Basically I've unlocked both of them in repentance on a fresh save after not playing antibirth/+

[Gauge]

My save was also started in Repentance, so maybe that does have an effect too. I've never played Afterbirth or Afterbirth+ either.

I had my 5 daily win streak like 2 weeks ago and i didn't get this achievment. Just used Steam Achievment Manager to get it :P

I think people can actually report you to get banned for using it if you say you used it

I've never seen a credible report of anybody being banned over Steam Achievement Manager.

Snitches get stitches. Punk.

But if you're unlocking it via SAM... It doesn't unlock it in game. I'm pretty sure you'll never be able to find Cracked Crown, but I may be wrong

There's a "syncing" option meant for cases where data was erased.

Maybe under ordinary conditions, but if you uninstall Repentance you can basically do the same level of cheating that SAM does purely with stuff that was intended to be in the game.

it'll never be fixed

i propose a new achievement though - make it so you need 5 daily runs with 1st place crashed and you get one where isaac is staring into the monitor screen and it has dead pixels all over it
