Been playing for 100+ hours now and I feel I havnt unlocked anything...

[Millenia]

Like new bosses and so on. No idea what Im doing wrong. Currently trying to get every character to kill Isaac. Not because a guide or something says it but it seems to unlock something at least....

[Omegatherion]

There is really a lot to unlock in this game, so yeah. It will take you a long while to make huge progress on that side.
If you keep doing runs you will unlock new stuff eventually. Do every available route with every character. That will unlock some new stuff. As well as just getting through the different levels a certain amount of times.

Its just so demoralizing. Im currently playing the weekly challenge thing and theres SO MUCH new stuff. Like I had no idea that there were other hearts than black and white.

[Omegatherion]

Oh, yeah. The bone hearts are unlocked with a super specific thing you have to do. You might want to look that up to be honest.

Most stuff is done by just getting all of the endings with every char though. A lot of the arbitrary stuff will just happen along the way. Things like collect X amount of certain items, use X amount of certain pills in a run and so on.

If you just started completely from scratch it can surely be overwhelming to see all the stuff that is hidden behind the late game content.
Don't worry. as long as you enjoy the game. At least there is a lot of stuff left to discover for you.

I'm approaching 300 hours (mostly in Repentance), and still missing tons of unlocks, it's a process but the journey is the fun!

But if you wanna unlock some end bosses then try doing other things than just Isaac on each character. Maybe play your favorite character and try the other path :)

[Placenta Salad]

I don't believe there's any shame in reading the Wikipedia or watching YouTube videos as guides for unlocking certain characters, etc. There's a bit of puzzling to do in The Binding of Isaac, even more now that they've added the Repentance DLC which also made all that content from the mod, Antibirth, apart of the official game as well.

I've never played Antibirth but I did, at one point, have all the achievements for the base game. Now I'm coming back to play all the new DLC stuff and reading the Wikipedia articles, it is rather overwhelming to see the amount of puzzles and lengthy prerequisites you need to do to unlock other maps and characters.

A lot of this stuff I refuse to believe most people would have discovered on their own without assistance of some type.

[Depressed Catfish]

There are a few specific things you have to do to unlock certain things, but most things you will get from either playing normally or getting different ending with different characters.

Once you have all the endings unlocked, I would focus on unlocking all the characters and getting the unlocks for each character. Also play in hard mode instead of normal, as there are hard mode unlocks for each character. Fill out the win sheet for each character is the main step.

I think I had 50% achievements, which each unlock something new, at 200 hours for scale. It's a long game.

[Magus Coldfire]

I would always recommend playing the first few hours with wikipedia. But then, if you're really interested in bringing the full potential out of the game, you should really really start reading the wikipedia and how to find all the bosses. You will probably start unlocking anything at every successful run.

speaking of endings. Are there a cheat sheet for the completed endings for characters? For example defeated Isaac is a cross.

Thats ok, I think I've read all their names at least once on the wiki at some point.

Yeah, there is, it's a bit spoilery though, conisdering you probably haven't even met some of the bosses on it. If you dont mind that, I'll send you a link
