D4 , best item in game if you are looking for very funny and silly runs
I was having a pretty boring basic maggy run... low damage lots of health and rooms took a lot of time to clear... On depths 1 everything changed.. D4 .. on an item pedestal.. becconing for a use... had battery trinket and thought.. this might get fun.
So I went and rerolled all my stuff.. then cleared few rooms and rerolled again... getting more and more ridiculous combos , all not so useful.. Like Ipecac+tinyplanet+soymilk that one I was happy to reroll to another...
with battery I could reroll all items after 5 rooms so each level i had few different builds and boy it was fun. At one point had quad shot+mom's knife+ homing + technology.. and in the end 2 shotted blue baby boss....
how ever it seemed like d4 didn't reroll all items because i had mom's knife + number one+ technology for the last 4 rerolls.. dunno if it's glitch or why didnt these items get rerolled. Also im not sure since i hadnt check before the run but do items you get from d4 count towards the collected item stats?

There are also some minor cheesing with d4.. if you roll into pyro or skull key or dollar you get your consumables to 99.. also some items gave me full health so didn't need to worry about that either.

So if you have unlocked d4 and manage to find it on your run... don't be afraid, have fun and reroll as much as possible :D

I'll keep this in mind, whenever i unlock it first that is. Good to know. :meaty:

I wouldn't say it's a glitch, just your items getting rerolled into the exact same. The chance for that being low doesn't mean it can't happen. I guess I should stick wit hthe D4 next time I find it, this does indeed sound like fun.

just had another d4 run.. this time it didnt end so well.. ipecac+very low range+loki's horn... 4 bombs with each shot exploding in my face....
I prefer the D100.
NOTHING BUT PURE CHAOS EVERY 6 ROOMS OR SO AND I LOVE IT!

I had a run where it gave me all 3 tech's and a massive ipecac shot, it is indeed a really fun item.
Does it count if the Arcade Machines blow by filling them with enough money or do you actually have to blow them up (with bombs or explosive tears) to unlock the D4?

Not sure, I got my achievement using a bomb , but it may work getting the Dollar.

Hmm I blew em up quite a few times up till now by putting in enough money (got the dollar like only twice, very surprised at how rare it is, even with cain!), so I'm assuming I'll have to blow em up myself using bombs, might do that the next few playthroughs when I'm out of money.

Just info, you get it after blowing up 30 arcade machines (with bombs) I don't know if they count if you play them until they explode.
It takes some time to get the achievement, but after you're done playing the machine, or if you have an extra bomb around, do it then you'll unlock the d4 over some time.

Note that it can be hard to find when you unlock it if you've unlocked a bunch of other stuff too, so here's a seed to get it on the second level : BHNY MNCZ

(You can re-roll it every 6 rooms :D)

Well i unlocked it during the rein of the dead cat exploit, but if you have the patience i imagine Gnawed leaf + something that attacks the enemies for you would be easy.
Just make sure the Carrion Queen dies fast, that red poop is the worst.

What exploit?

Flying is amazing. Keep this in mind.

Even a crappy (ha, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ pun) item like The Poop I might keep on me because of it. If things get too hairy, I plot down a poop and hover over it. Any enemies that can't jump or shoot Brimstone are suddenly harmless.

Pop your head out and pewpew with your tears when it's safe.

Now, for the Boss Rush specifically, any enemy that isn't flying will not go over the spikes in the corners in the room. I've this incredibly useful for certain enemies. Also use the rocks for cover when needed.

Definitely a fun item to mess around with, it's great to see what crazy combinations you get. I wish there was a character that started with the D4.

It's been fixed now, but if you got Dead Cat as The Lost it would give you the 9 lives as usual, but after the first death you would become completely invincible.
