Finding Godhead

[CMDR Shven]

All the google results for this query are dated from within a month of the game's release and from what I can tell most of the suggestions are outdated due to patches or uninformed due to the game's inner working not yet (as of then) being fully understood.

So can anyone clarify any of this?

-Does having another special item such as the D6 decrease your chances of spawing Godhead?
-Is there still any way to cheese a seed run into giving you real unlocks?
-Can Eden start with Godhead and have that count as obtaining it? Or does it need to be picked up manually the old fashioned way first?

-Are there really any options at all other than sharp plug rerolling through the entire game's item pool in an angel room?

Making Godhead an angel room only item combined with making items you've not yet found rarer than items you have found was a major ♥♥♥♥ move. 50% of the time spent in this game is playing and using skill to unlock everything, and the other half if just grinding and praying to RNGesus that you actually find the items. Already took me a dozen hours or more rerolling original BOI to find the prayer card and chemical peel. Not cool.

If you SEE a special item, the chance of seeing another special item is significantly reduced, except if a character starts with it (Isaac/Eden)

-Is there still any way to cheese a seed run into giving you real unlocks?
Nope, it was patched

-Can Eden start with Godhead and have that count as obtaining it? Or does it need to be picked up manually the old fashioned way first?
Yes it works, and you can also reroll your build by using dice room/D4/D100.

Nice, just started burning through my 150+ eden tokens and got Godhead about half way through. Finally. Months after getting the actual Godhead achievement, I finally have RPG.

Good job man, the game sure is a grind to TPG, but after you get everything, you're left with just the fun of not having to worry about re-rolling every item you see hoping to get what you need.

I decided to play the seed just to see how playing with Godhead feels, because I'll likely never get it again. Got Proptosis in the first item room and Money=Power in the Catacombs, blood donated my way to 99 coins shortly thereafter. The aura around the tears filled the entire screen. Killed blue baby in the chest in about 3 seconds. Absurd.
