Part 1 "The Basics": https://youtu.be/GyFNzosi_yc
Part 2 "The Details": https://youtu.be/XnE-0rx5PfA

I. Keeper Problems [01:44]
+++ Restart any Keeper run and look for these related items +++
1. Finding Swallowed Penny (steady supply of bombs or ability to crush obstacles)
2. Relatively low Speed
3. Poor Damage
4. Low Fire Rate

II. Beating the Cathedral [05:07]
+++ Finding Swallowed Penny is almost a must-habe. It is most commonly found in pots +++
1. Restart until you get an item to destroy pots reliably, e.g. Anarchist's Cookbook, Bob's Rotten Head, Bomb Bag, Doctor's Remote, Dr. Fetus, Epic Fetus, Ipecac, Kamikaze (situational), Leo, Mr. Boom, The Nail, Pyro, Samson's Chains, Thunder Thighs, Bomber Boy, Mine Crafter, No. 2
2. Burnt Penny is helpful, too
3. Bomb as many pots as possible using as little bombs as possible
4. If you haven't found Swallowed Penny until the end of Floor 2, restart your run
5. With Swallowed Penny, Demon Beggars and Blood Banks are guaranteed to pay out because you can heal yourself indefinitely

III. Getting Devil Room items [07:07]
1. Leave at least one immediate HP Up item (if there are any) before fighting bosses
2. If you get a Devil deal, you can then take a 1 heart deal and get your HP container back from the HP Up you left behind
3. You can only take a 2 heart deal under very special circumstances:
a) Take a portable HP Up into your Devil Room (HP Up/Down pill, Strength Card)
b) Take your 2 heart deal
c) As soon as you hold the item over your head, immediately use the portable HP Up
d) You should still be alive with one HP container

IV. Beating Sheol [12:04]
1. Use Wooden Nickel at the beginning of each room with combat
2. While restarting, try entering Curse Rooms and spawning a coin inside
3. Make Wooden Nickel more useful, e.g. 9 Volt, The Battery, Car Battery, Charged Baby, The Habit, Watch Battery (trinket)

V. Rushing the Game [15:25]
1. Keep restarting your run until you get an item that helps you clear rooms faster, e.g. Tech X (HIGHLY recommended), any other form of piercing shots, Ipecac, High-damage/High-tears items in general
2. Spend enough time in item rooms and shops re-rolling items, bombing the Donation Machine if necessary
3. Try getting items like Re-Stock, Sack Head, Steam Sale, Mom's Key, Mom's Purse, Starter Deck, There's Options, More Options

VI. Beating Boss Rush [20:09]
My Tactic: Use Lucky Rock (trinket) and the ability to destroy rocks, then destroy rocks during the fight to heal yourself

VII. Beating Hush [21:23]
1. Decent Speed and Range are a requirement!
2. Get orbital/familiar items that block bullets, e.g.Cube of Meat, Ball of Bandages, Best Bud, Big Fan, Distant Admiration, Dry Baby, Forever Alone, Guardian Angel, Halo of Flies, Sacrificial Dagger, Samson's Chains, Friend Zone, Sworn Protector, Pretty Fly (pill)
3. If you have Stop Watch, get hit before Hush starts shooting Continuum shots. If you get hit during those, you will likely die because the shots overlap each other when slowed down.

VIII. Beating Mega Satan [24:03]
1. Getting there
a) As soon as you feel strong enough to fight the Angels, start leaving coins behind on the floor unless you have to heal yourself
b) Explore until you find a Sacrifice Room (spikes in the middle)
c) Hurt yourself on the spikes and pick up money in between. Items may or may not spawn during this.
d) At some point a lot of troll bombs will spawn
e) Next, you'll fight an Angel which will drop a Key Piece upon death
f) Hurt yourself two more times for another Angel and the second Key Piece
+++ The door is open during those fights, so you might accidently leave the room and despawn the Angel. So be careful! +++
g) Stop hurting yourself on the spikes unless you feel strong enough to fight Mega Satan right away. You might teleport to the Dark Room.
2. Fighting him
a) Have good Speed, high Damage and Range
b) Have a well upgraded Wooden Nickel (see V.3.)

IX. Beating Greed Mode [32:44]
1. Have good Speed and Range
2. Healing
a) During the normal floors, stay close to the coins and pick them up if necessary
b) During the Ultra Greed Fight you will spawn coins whenever you get hit, no matter what. So heal yourself with those.
