The Intensity of The Binding of Isaac's Boss Rush

Unless you've been under a rock the past few months, or you just don't check out any of my updates (shame on you!) you should know about my obsession with The Binding of Isaac. Recently I got a powerful PC (Thanks Ryan!) and have been introduced to the wonderful world of PC gaming aka Steam! Up until this point I have been solely playing TBoI on my Wii U. I was only able to experience Rebirth and, as a result, was missing out on the new DLC Afterbirth that was PC only.

Let's just say I couldn't resist and downloaded both Rebirth and Afterbirth the first day I had my PC. It was also around this time that I discovered the hidden Boss Rush room that can be entered by reaching and defeating Mom's first form in under 20 minutes!

This means you must clear the first 6 floors of the game (including bosses) pretty quickly. I've been playing Rebirth for months and I just discovered this was a thing. I always noticed the clock icon, but I had no idea what its purpose was. I got extremely lucky with the items I found during this particular run and managed to breeze through most of the floors with little to no hindrance. I was amazed to find a giant opening in the wall after defeating Mom, so I did what any Isaac fanatic would do and ran straight through the opening into a giant room. 

There were 4 special items all next to each other in a neat little square. Without much thinking I grabbed one and that's when all Hell broke loose!! Two bosses appeared out of thin air and started to mercilessly attack Lazarus(the character I was playing as). I though to myself, Oh shit what have I done? It was then that the gamer in me went into autopilot mode and started taking out each boss one by one. After I defeated both bosses, 2 more would appear, and then 2 after them, and then 2 more after them. The adrenaline took over.

Before I knew it I had defeated 30 bosses in a row...

Damn did I feel like a badass! It's the secrets like this that keep myself and other gamers coming back for more when it comes to The Binding of Isaac. I felt so accomplished after clearing the Boss Rush room. They even awarded me a star after doing it. Now only if I completed the rest of the run after that...

A Gold(Black) Star for Me!
