#30 The Guardian

Stipulation: Blindfolded. Start with Spear of Destiny, Holy Grail and Punching Bag. Start with Isaac's Heart attached to Punching Bag.Treasure Room? NoGoal: Beat Mom's Heart/It Lives!Reward: Blank RuneTactic: This is a high risk, very difficult, luck-based run because Punching Bag (PB) loves running headlong into enemies, explosions, spikes, fire, literally anything that can kill him (and by extension, you). You'll want to stay on top of PB most of the time, blocking incoming shots and providing cover, but don't be afraid to go all out against rooms with easy/slow enemies. Rooms with traps are basically a timer with PB trying to kill you, so dash for contraptions/exits as fast as possible. Your damage sucks, but there's a trick to near-double your damage potential. Spear of Destiny works like an unfirable Mom's Knife, and as such it has the same capability to be "flailed" around. Hold down a firing direction and then begin repeatedly pressing any other direction to make Isaac quickly "slash" in an arc. The arc becomes wider but slower if you press the opposite direction (e.g.: holding "Fire Left" and mashing "Fire Right"), so go for smaller arcs to slash your foes to pieces. This is useful to clear rooms full of enemies, but the technique shines against stationary bosses such as It Lives!. Be sure to increase your red heart containers, but don't forget soul/evil hearts are a cheap way to survive. Grabbing Gimpy and The Jar will increase your survivability by providing a way to carry health and produce health on kills, while also replenishing soul hearts when hit. Be patient with this challenge, it's doable. Reroll the floor for a Basement if you're having trouble getting the starting tailwind.
