For head trauma try to find lump of coal, it's the only thing that actually gives you any damage.

Glass cannon is really easy, you'll see when you unlock it.

And I don't really see why you find family man so frustrating, the familiars you start with do really good damage. It helps getting more familiars, maybe even box of friends.

Can't really give you any tips for solar system and suicide king as I haven't done them yet myself.

frankly im amazed you are having trouble with this but you already had godhead unlocked. best advice I can think of is try to reset until you can find a good curse room with some good items and/or for the family man challenge try to get a room with 2 chains and open in with dads key, you may be able to get a decent start from fighting greed or getting a library full of items or chests. for solar system I pretty much had the game won for me once I got a lil brimstone in a devil deal. of course no one or two items will compenstate if you cant dodge and stay alive which shouldn't be a problem with if you have every lost achievement

Head Trauma, like post before me said: lump of coal (a 6 dice or 1 die room work very well too, that's how I beat it the first time)

Solar System is techincally easier than Cat got your Tongue, so.. Gnawled leaf works if you have a lot of time. If not, Little Brimstone is a good item. Apart from that.. Unicorn stump works fairly well and just playing it very calmly.

Suicide King, the trick is to keep your distance and shoot out the ipecac shoots with some momentum (walk forward a bit while shooting so they hit on the up trail instead of the down trail). Useful items: Defensive stuff, Pyromaniac, Shot Speed up. And again, this challenge has to be played very calmly. Don't rush though it.

Glass cannon should give you no problems once unlocked.

Family man: Little Brimstone, lots of patience, defensive items, Demon Baby.

i have godhead unlocked because i did this i went to a room pressed Exit and then pressed continue and if i died i could press Esc before the death screen appeared and press continue again to start from the place i died :D
P.S im sorry but the Lost was too frustrating at that time and it still is hard but it's atleast fun because you can get some funny builds with D4

yeah I kinda figured that was the case. also just remembered a good tip for head trauma, if you aim away from every enemy the tears all seem to converge at a much bettter spot making it much easier to kill enemies, you just need to retrain your brain to fire away from enemies lol

Yea, aiming away from enemies is really helpful. What I also did for some of the enemies that don't have too much hp and are really agressive, is I quickly switched from left to right, so the tears got evenly distributed.

ugh blue bomber, wish i had some good advice. i got super carried on that one by getting a boatload of bombs and switching out kamikaze for the blue flame and also got the pre nerf stopwatch which made it muuuuuuch easier. still died three times in a row on satan with guppys collar no less and somehow pulled off a victory not taking a single hit the last time. my heart was almost ready to beat out of my chest i was so nervous.
