Maxing out Greed Machine?

[KursedFlame]

Any tips on maxing out the greed machine? By the time I kill Ultra Greed I barely have any money.

Get lucky and find a glowing hour glass and some battery items.

I know about that method but it is difficult. Do you know if with modding in afterbirth plus you can either give yourself items or make them spawn somehow?

Afterbirth+ isn't needed to do such things. Mods like that already exist.

Yeah but I'm playing on a MacBook Pro and I can't get mods to work.

Restart until you get blank card and then try to find swallowed penny or piggy bank which makes the game extremely easy

Blank Card in starting room is the way to go.
No need to bother with other methods.
Dice Shard, Yera and Card of Diamonds can work fine with it.

Imho with such setup just get a good run going. Try to fill up to 99 coins and donate. Move on to the next champ and repeat. Once in a while you will get glowing hourglas and be able to donate ~200 coins increasing the chance to jam to ~100% for that character.

This way you will be done after 5-10 good runs in a reasonable timespan.

Trying to completely break the game and max out 100% can be fun. But also it can crash your game and cost a lot of time per run. So it may not really be worth the time invested trying to do so.

Thanks. I'll try that and see where it takes me. Also what is the percentage that shows up when you kill Ultra Greed?

The chance for the machine to jam at each coin. It is character specific, so if it's too high, give money with another character.

Thanks. Just unlocked the Lost yesterday and I won't use him unless I max out the greed machine and get holy mantle for him.

You don't need to max out the Greed Machine for Lost to start with the Holy Mantle.

That unlock is attained at 879 coins, not 999.

[KursedFlame]

I know. I'm just saying that I want to max out the greed machine and unlock keeper, while at same time unlocking holy mantle.

As you fight Ultra Greed more, you'll get a better feel for how strong you need to be to win, which isn't all that strong.

If you can have a decent build by the Shop and have a couple bombs in store, you should be able to end with 10-30 coins.

Also make sure to bomb the shopkeepers for a chance at money, a Steam Sale, or Head of the Keeper.

there is a bug how u can generate nearly 150 coins
u just have to find the blank card and the doubble charging item and the doubble efect item
so if u have also the two of diamonds card u can fill up the greedmachine verry fast

Play with different characters. If you will play the same character overr and over again then % of greed machine to break will rise and you would not able to donate much money.

Also another tip. If you feel like you have enough fire power and health, don't spend any more money unless it's absolutelly nessesary. Ussualy in sheol level I began to grind coins for greed machine.
