Any tips on "Beans!" challenge?
Just tried it 5 or 6 times. Got first 3 without any problem, got all challenges in original game as well. But this one... It's just unbeatable to me.

So, 3 ways to deal damage - use bean, take damage to activate black bean or use bombs. But all this methods are pretty uncomfortable. Bean is extremely close range, has low basic damage, doesn't deal damage on some occasions and has ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 15 sec cooldown. Bombs are limited, and pretty difficult to use vs fast moving targets. I suppose, it's obvious, that black bean isn't option as well (as long as you haven't enough luck to get marty and yum heart from beginning).

There is also a lot of situations, when you can't even beat room, coz enemies are on pretty far distance, so you just can't reach them with bean (mostly in Caves). I explode doors in this kind of situation, but players without bombs haven't a single option except die and restart.

I got 3 times to mother and wasn't able to deal any real damage. So, what should i do?

the easiest way for me was to reset on basment 2 if i didnt get a devil room until you get a familiar that shoots tears to help rotten baby and brimstone abby are your best bet

headless baby is also useful but lacks ability to kill some enemies

Skip all rooms, head straight to the boss.
Keep bombing all the doors, btw the poop bombs will kill all flies in one shot in the room.

Hope that you'll get bandage ball or a meat cube, these two items alone deal a significant amount of damage to Mom, which will be your biggest problem (timing all those bombs that you already run short of at that point)

P.S
You can touch mom's foot (as well as Satan's) after it lands, which helps dealing it damage with the cube / ball.

Already done this few days ago, simply bombing my way to mom, and using Bible.

I found little Haunt and that at least let me stay away from enemies while he painfully slowly took them out. Just stay patient and bomb out of really tough rooms. Save enough bombs for the mom fight and just hope she isn't red. If possible try and find something like Tammy's head to replace the bean, and do whatever it takes to make the 2nd floor devil room and look for a follower or orbital.

Bomb to stun enemies, run up to a group, fart on them, dodge until fart is ready to go, repeat. Or if you're good at dodging, just skip the bomb

Why don't you read prev posts? I've done it weeks ago.

Brimstone baby did everything for me so it was an easy run. Reset until you find it in the first treasure room.

You start off with poop bombs I think. They deal damage to the whole room.
