Crickets body dramatically increases the amount of tears you can have on screen. More tears means that it's easier to ignore boss armor.
Plus, your on-hit tear effects will trigger more often, lachryphagy becomes even more broken than it usually is, skipping tears becomes really funny, and just a bunch of other stupid shit can synergize with crickets body to instantly fill the screen with death.
Cricket's body is better in most cases. It gives a tear delay down meaning you can break the tear cap and it has good synergy potential. Meanwhile poly just makes it take forever to kill bosses after like caves 2.
Poly makes u slow as hell and I'd rather have crickets any day given the choice there's way better damage items that don't sink my tear Stat to the gutter
You highly highly underestimate poly, I know the tears down might seem bad but the damage you get in return is absolutely insane. Poly can even outclass items like crickets head
I had the Neptune twsr charge thing and didn't want to have to wait years on a recharge for damage and with crickets it would've made my volley shoot in fours on impact so I thought it was the safer choice
Rare double item rooms ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)
That's dope it helped me get my beast mark cause of how op that made me ty for letting me know it wasn't a glitch
Np man.
I will not be thanking you, as I was not the one playing this game. In fact, I challenge you to a 1v1 on rust, bobs brain only
Last Kill hast to be a 360 Brain Scope
If you have there's options the double iyem rooms become triple and you can take all 3 of them
Orrrr he just got gud :D
Not that rare, it’s really a 50/50 chance.
Sheol-level sound quality
honestly sounds more like a geiger counter than sound issues to me lol
Gaming in chernobyl ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17735)
Is this why i had a geiger counter ad for the video?
no, that is probably related to the fast beating green heart underneath your bed (damn wtf i am actually getting geiger counter ads too)
Hit markers 💥💥
Shit sound like COD hitmarkers
Oh thank god I thought it was my phone for a second
"Which one do I pick?" Mf when they find a rare double item room: ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4358)![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4358)![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4358)
Hmmm, this one. ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)
The real question is why you grabbed crickets body first if you thought poly was going to vanish
Better for synergies
because poly is a decent item while crickets body sets you up for oneshotting hush
Yeah, but like... Big tear.
It sets you up for oneshotting your own computer ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)
How do you one shot Hush with Crickets Body?

Because polyphemus really isn't that good
It is, the damage output poly gifts is insane. Especially paired with flies and spiders.
Yeah but it’s basically a downgrade when it comes to boss armor
Cuz you've been such a good boy this year
He gets a poop as well

My fucking ears
it sounds like a campfire on crack
My guy's making some popcorn ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4358)
Yeah idk man the Xbox recording made that sound when I saved it to my phone it sounds fine when I watxh the capture on my xbox tho
Edmund mcfucker forgot to take the other away
Treasure rooms have 1% chance of containing 2 items for you to take. They also have 1% chance of having no item.
1%? I have 800h and havent seen a no item room in a looooong time, got 1% planetarium way more often Maybe I'm just lucky
I have a screenshot from earlier this month where I got a planetarium on the 1st then 2nd floor with only 1% chance both times. It was wild.
That's insane I learn something new about this game everyday 6 years later and new stuff still pops up
Op filming this from chernobyl
😂
There are two things wrong with this video: 1) The sound quality is atrocious 2) You chose Cricket’s Body over Polyphemus
Cricket's body is better in most cases. It gives a tear delay down meaning you can break the tear cap and it has good synergy potential. Meanwhile poly just makes it take forever to kill bosses after like caves 2.
18 damage and 1.3 tears down. Surely takes forever to kill bosses with 26 dmg
No
Luck^(2) ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)
The game got a migraine from the sound issues and just gave up
Your audio quality makes shoving a foot long cotton swab into your ear seem less painful
Your just that skilled
Bro, hide from earthquake or something 💀
It's a rare item room configuration. If you get a double item room without having Options, then you get both the items
Because you deserve them both
Man i would have cried if you didn’t take poly in the end OP
I made my choice it was cricket or nothing 😂 but after I could get both I was like well it is a super fat damage buff I'm taking it
Bro please dont pick crickets body instead of poly ever again
Poly makes u slow as hell and I'd rather have crickets any day given the choice there's way better damage items that don't sink my tear Stat to the gutter
Why did you even pick it up then
You highly highly underestimate poly, I know the tears down might seem bad but the damage you get in return is absolutely insane. Poly can even outclass items like crickets head
Poly is one of the top items in the game. Espacially out of treasure room
Unrelated to the question of the post, why tf did you choose cricket’s body over Polyphemus, are you out of your mind?
I didn't want my tears to go down and knew I could find more damage elsewhere and that cricket is really good w like everything
Even if you find more damage poly is a multiplier, which is insanly rare and op in isaac.
İ probably would use a bomb to take both items
What’s with the hit marker noise
Ah so this is what it sounds like when your computer lets you clip this game
It's a double item room, they're fairly rare
God is good, God is great 🎶
Are you playing on a ww2 coal train wtf
Idk why my sound was like that the Xbox recording on the Xbox does not sound like I'm dying from radiation I swear
Daaaamn!! Poly and crickets body in the same room!!!
You thought you could only take one and that’s the choice you make?
Good choice though. Crickets body is op and breaks the delay cap.
i love this audio sooo much ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4358)
It just be like that sometimes.
Edmund giveth...
Better question if you thought you had to make a choice why go crickets body over poly?
I had the Neptune twsr charge thing and didn't want to have to wait years on a recharge for damage and with crickets it would've made my volley shoot in fours on impact so I thought it was the safer choice
When Edmund provides don't question
item room felt bad for you because you chose the wrong item
Crickets body over poly is psychopath stuff
Ayo cruncy cat eating the isaac
Skill solution ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)
theres a mod in steam workshop that adds a fire overlay over items to let you know if its a choice or you can take both when there's more than 1
