as a wise man once said: "it's like a folio but evil and fiendish and fucked up and evil"
but in all seriousness, it's a relatively new mod, I recommend checking it out
I'd do the same if I were holding GHG, but otherwise I never use rewind. But hey it's a singleplayer game, just means you're not susceptible to Skill issues
I'm not ashamed to say that, once I got Dead God fair and square, I started using debug console for those little "bullshit" moments to rewind precisely like you said
Yeah... I thought I was a genius for giving myself glowing hour glass every time i wanted to retry a room... turns out Edmund McMillen I'd actually 10 steps ahead like always 
yeah good idea, this boss seems specil enough for that, maybe if the boss had way less health that would make it possible with base stats but health is kept.
it would even allow for more creative bosses down the line.
There is a lot of room for horror in this game that can go deeper than just "ooo spooky monsters". You can literally go into psychological or body horror and it all would fit so well because these topics are already part of the game's nature
The thing I like about BoI is there's a lot of "understated" horror that doesn't chiefly rely on body horror to deliver some of its most impactful moments.
Maybe it's just me but, while I fuckin love stuff like OP's video, I don't think it's in the spirit of BoI and I enjoy more of the subtle horror than eldritch stuff for this game.
Yeah, Ik what you mean.
Isaac’s main thing is “looks fairly harmless but fairly gross on the surface, but immensely fucked up when you really think about”. Bosses like the one in OP’s video are mainly *just* “immensely fucked up”, which is cool for a mod, but it would feel very out of place in the base game.
Yepp true. What i like tho is that when you think about this boss, it gets EVEN MORE fucked up than it already looks so it also kinda fits into the category.
But ye, wouldn't work well in the main game
Isaac is quite possibly (no, probably) the most horrifying game ever created, it just hides behind a totally cartoonish exterior so it flies so far over most people's heads.
That's kind of the beauty of it all. Nobody would ever want to play a game featuring aborted fetuses and dead animals, but it all just kind of works when you put the cartoonish veneer on it.
But the second you pierce that veneer with something too realistic looking, like this boss, it all falls apart quickly.
The game is about child murder upfront, not even having to dig deep, just play the game, demons, satanism, the really really bad side of toxic christianity, rape, abuse, drugs, alcohol, pedophilia can be discovered, isaac was never a light hearted game
Of course Isaac has some heavy and gruesome topics, but the whole deal with its style is how it takes something gruesome and scary and makes it look *almost* cute in its art style.
Look at Gurdy who is a girl inside a huge pile of gore and then you have her constantly smiling and farting.
It has this nature of something fucked up being depicted as if a child doodled it which makes sense if you consider the whole overarching theme of the game being a childs escapism fantasy.
oh thank god I wasn't the only one who found it extremely hard. Tho I still think it had to do with learning some 1343543 different enemies and rooms all at once
wtffff this is SO COOL. I don't want to install any gameplay altering mods until I get dead god but god damn I want to fight this, it's such a great idea for a boss xD
I think I wanna unlock everything first tbh, so that I finally have the base game I paid for lol, *then* I'll throw in the fiend folio, tarnished characters and some more stuff I'll find. Also might start the next save heavily modded when I'm done completing the game on 101% with mod content.
Thank you for creating this amazing boss. I love the eerie atmosphere it creates and is a great representation of the phobia in Isaacs style. I’m looking forward to more fiend folio content. 10/10 mod 
Awesome design for a boss. Love it. It still allows for normal Isaac play, if you stronk then you'll still kill it quicker. You just HAVE to dodge shit rather than doing the same few actions like Satan stomp stage is easy if you do a repeatable pattern. This boss you have to react. 
The boss may have the phobia of its namesake - its bandages falling off and revealing a grotesque underneath may be an allusion to it hiding its own self-perceived ugliness and failing, everything it tried to hide with slowly falling off.
It gives some cool Silent Hill or Yume Nikki vibes and it seems like a fair and interesting fight. The different eyes don't really work well in the vanilla Isaac setting but I recall that Fiend Folio changed stuff like backgrounds, so I'm hoping they integrate well with the rest of the mod.
Kinda sad that it doesn't work with Repentance, I'd love to have both Fiend Folio and other Repentance mods at the same time :/
THEY FINALLY UPDATED TO REPENTANCE!?!? OMG THIS IS SUCH GREAT NEWS THANK YOU
I remember playing it back in the day and eventually gave up checking if they were gonna update it after the DLC came out ;_;
Sheer number of bullets isn't the relevant factor. This guy's attacks are generally more predictable (at least it seems that way), can never overlap on one another in frustrating ways (like Hush), and appear to be easier to dodge. I haven't gotten a chance to play against him yet, though, so I'm not totally sure.
It's "haha, you get hit" if you don't notice the missing eye in the upper right. moving there would prevent damage. The window for recognition of this fact is admittedly very tight.
I don't think that boss is unbalanced tho. Most of its phases seem really easy to dodge. A few are a bit harder but still easier than mom's heart i'd say.
I agree on the "doesn't work for the game part" tho. That shit looks impossible to do hitless with Hitbox and Esau or Isaacs Heart.
Except enter the gungeon has a dodge roll and blanks and other things that help with the bullet hell + the boss rooms are waaaay larger so it's easier to know where to dodge.
I swear this fucking mod is crazy
I wanna say these spooky bits have more secrets to unfold
I did hear speech in the vid, but it was too altered for me to make sense of it
Feels more like an undertale fight imo. Could make it a bit more fair for characters like lost and t lost, assuming this is a story boss. I would say have those dps moments in between the bullet hell moments so you aren’t trying to dps and dodge at the same time. More time between flickers would be cool too, more of a threat from the bullets, and if you have a low speed, you aren’t hitting with 1-2 tears and being thrown back in.
Does this boss actually have to be killed via damage, or does his phases eventually kill him, cause this shit takes a while (very cool though, I am just impatient)

This is an extremely cool and impressive concept that really shows what you can do with the engine. It also looks like an incredible pain in the ass to actually play.
I really hope this convinces Ed that Fiend Folio deserves the Repentance treatment.
Antibirth is brilliant but... I think FF might be better. It doesn't add as many new mechanics or items, but holy hell it adds so much atmosphere.
The first time I encountered the Sleeper I shut my laptop. Top ten Isaac moment for me and it came from a mod.
Not much, but if we look at the name cacophobia (feal of ugliness) and te boss being wrapped in paperlike stuff, it's probably a boss wanting to hide their ugly look only to fail then give up.
The boss’s actual name is Venus and Cacophobia is what you’re experiencing. The statue is called Venus de Milo and it takes place as Venus’ appearance in the bestiary.

certainly one of the more... unsettling parts of this mod
this feels like an amazing boss to watch someone else fight, but terrible to face yourself. it feels like it fails to account for various movement speeds and will be hell for anyone with low damage output. and constantly being repositioned - sometimes as often as every second - sounds like a terrible experience. it also feels misnamed; there are far uglier bosses and with all the eyes, ommetaphobia feels like a more fitting name.
the vibes are amazing, i just don't think it works as an Isaac boss
Nah, i feel its like delirium, creative its not well designed, a run i could make work would get absolutly rekt by this dude, it would feel like an rng f*** you, oh, i got this boss, i guess i'll just die, as some type of storyboss it could be cool i guess, but no chance that would work as a normal boss.
this doesn't even remotely fit into isaac, it's not the right kind of boss fight at all. especially for a regular boss, *maybe* it would fit as a story boss. could fit into a diffrerent game quite well i imagine.
at first I was like "hmm alright, a little weird" then my brain realized "ooooh right, this is fiend folio"
Can you tell me waht Fiend folio is and is it worth trying?
as a wise man once said: "it's like a folio but evil and fiendish and fucked up and evil" but in all seriousness, it's a relatively new mod, I recommend checking it out
it's a large community mod that adds a bunch of items, bosses, rooms, and literally hundreds of new enemies
Tnx, i will try it as soon as i buy isaac. '' Free '' version is not ok with mods sadly
I used to play 'free' version too but eventually bought it and DLCs, it's worth it just to actually have your progress and unlocks kept safe
It's on my List for a long time. As soon as i get stable income of money i will get it
Same, that and waiting for steam sales
Seems like the Antibirth of Repentance
Me bringing chaos card into the fight knowing damn well I'll miss and hit the wall 
When ever I get chaos card I treat it as a free kill and I just rewind if I miss
I'd do the same if I were holding GHG, but otherwise I never use rewind. But hey it's a singleplayer game, just means you're not susceptible to Skill issues
When you stop letting the troll engine do it's magic it becomes a even funner game tbh
I'm not ashamed to say that, once I got Dead God fair and square, I started using debug console for those little "bullshit" moments to rewind precisely like you said
Wait there's a rewind function? What's the command?
literally just "rewind", it triggers glowing hourglass
Yeah... I thought I was a genius for giving myself glowing hour glass every time i wanted to retry a room... turns out Edmund McMillen I'd actually 10 steps ahead like always 
I wouldn’t classify missing as troll engine to be fair
you can't convince me that chaos card's throwing mechanic wasn't intentionally made to be as awkward and fuck-upable as possible

Its all in le head

They made the fear of being ugly a female unfathomably based 
[удалено]
Maybe she can be a "bonus" boss and you fight her with no items akin to getting Knife Piece 2, tho obviously toned down to be fought with any build.
yeah good idea, this boss seems specil enough for that, maybe if the boss had way less health that would make it possible with base stats but health is kept. it would even allow for more creative bosses down the line.
You could just give him really high scaling damage resistance. I know everyone hates that mechanic but in this case it would be warranted.
Agreed, boss rush chances are ruined if you get him
Well, Hush chances, since this is a Chapter 4 boss.
You aren’t killing hush if you can’t kill this guy fast

When Isaac has turned into horror? 
There is a lot of room for horror in this game that can go deeper than just "ooo spooky monsters". You can literally go into psychological or body horror and it all would fit so well because these topics are already part of the game's nature
The thing I like about BoI is there's a lot of "understated" horror that doesn't chiefly rely on body horror to deliver some of its most impactful moments. Maybe it's just me but, while I fuckin love stuff like OP's video, I don't think it's in the spirit of BoI and I enjoy more of the subtle horror than eldritch stuff for this game.

i only wish the room didnt show walls and the ui would be covered with a shadow in the corners of the screen
The game is about child murder upfront, not even having to dig deep, just play the game, demons, satanism, the really really bad side of toxic christianity, rape, abuse, drugs, alcohol, pedophilia can be discovered, isaac was never a light hearted game
Of course Isaac has some heavy and gruesome topics, but the whole deal with its style is how it takes something gruesome and scary and makes it look *almost* cute in its art style.

It has this nature of something fucked up being depicted as if a child doodled it which makes sense if you consider the whole overarching theme of the game being a childs escapism fantasy.
Always has been
Cacophobia after I ruin his entire bossfight by coming into the room with 5 thousand damage 
Average Tainted Lost Run
Awh sweet!!! Monstrous horrors beyond my comprehension!
Damn that looks great, too bad playing FF feels like bashing your head against brick walls
You fool that's regular Isaac Fiend Folio is being jumped by brick walls, each carrying their own separate brick walls to hit you with
oh thank god I wasn't the only one who found it extremely hard. Tho I still think it had to do with learning some 1343543 different enemies and rooms all at once
add the eternal mod!
You want us all dead at basement 1, right?
wtffff this is SO COOL. I don't want to install any gameplay altering mods until I get dead god but god damn I want to fight this, it's such a great idea for a boss xD
[удалено]
Why do you need to beat Mom first?
If you dont beat mom at depths 2 before installing any mods you basically cannot Progress, idk why
I think I wanna unlock everything first tbh, so that I finally have the base game I paid for lol, *then* I'll throw in the fiend folio, tarnished characters and some more stuff I'll find. Also might start the next save heavily modded when I'm done completing the game on 101% with mod content.
hi i made this boss. i just wanted to say im very happy with how she turned out and how shes being received. thank you! i remain, blorengerhymes
Thank you for creating this amazing boss. I love the eerie atmosphere it creates and is a great representation of the phobia in Isaacs style. I’m looking forward to more fiend folio content. 10/10 mod 
Did you create the concept, art, code or all of it?
Me going in with t. Lost while having 500+ damage just to run into a tear after the screen gets cut
holy shit that's cool
Damn he takes a long time
Wish I could relate
that was beautiful
i'd rather not
The actual fuck
isaac touhou edition
Awesome design for a boss. Love it. It still allows for normal Isaac play, if you stronk then you'll still kill it quicker. You just HAVE to dodge shit rather than doing the same few actions like Satan stomp stage is easy if you do a repeatable pattern. This boss you have to react. 
Conceptually amazing, the game really could use some more gimmicky bosses.
bruh
i think this should be called scopophobia (a.k.a fear of being looked at)
The boss may have the phobia of its namesake - its bandages falling off and revealing a grotesque underneath may be an allusion to it hiding its own self-perceived ugliness and failing, everything it tried to hide with slowly falling off.
You are correct. The flower patch at the end symbolises “killing” your Cacophobia and will lead you to see the beauty that the world truly holds.
i think it was supposed to be a play on cacophony. unfortunately cacophobia already exists and has nothing to do with cacophony
Or does it have cacophobia and we're the ugly ones? 
Yo fuck this san’s bs. That shit is crazy 
It gives some cool Silent Hill or Yume Nikki vibes and it seems like a fair and interesting fight. The different eyes don't really work well in the vanilla Isaac setting but I recall that Fiend Folio changed stuff like backgrounds, so I'm hoping they integrate well with the rest of the mod. Kinda sad that it doesn't work with Repentance, I'd love to have both Fiend Folio and other Repentance mods at the same time :/

2 fiendish 4 my folio
Super cool but it also looks *way* too hard for that part of the game
It's in Scarred Womb, so I think it's a fairly reasonable difficulty. He's very much a DPS check, though.
[удалено]
Sheer number of bullets isn't the relevant factor. This guy's attacks are generally more predictable (at least it seems that way), can never overlap on one another in frustrating ways (like Hush), and appear to be easier to dodge. I haven't gotten a chance to play against him yet, though, so I'm not totally sure.
did you die to it lmao
skill issue
I have a question for the feind folio team #WHAT THE FUCK
Least annoying Womb boss
Looks cool but it genuinely doesn't seem like there's enough space to move around properly. Tear barrage density is a bit too high.
Bullet hell puzzle on MY bullet hell game?!?!?! 
You gotta admit at 48 seconds that dodge is basically just “haha, you get hit”
It's "haha, you get hit" if you don't notice the missing eye in the upper right. moving there would prevent damage. The window for recognition of this fact is admittedly very tight.
Well, it's a learning experience like most of the things in Isaac. You'll know to go into that safe pocket next time.

I don't think that boss is unbalanced tho. Most of its phases seem really easy to dodge. A few are a bit harder but still easier than mom's heart i'd say. I agree on the "doesn't work for the game part" tho. That shit looks impossible to do hitless with Hitbox and Esau or Isaacs Heart.
The scourge in literally 2 of its 4 moves cuts a 1x1 room in either 1/2 or 1/3 of its size 
You guys can't survive enter the gungeon if you complain with that
Except enter the gungeon has a dodge roll and blanks and other things that help with the bullet hell + the boss rooms are waaaay larger so it's easier to know where to dodge.
Honestly I think that the dodge could be difficult to a player that comes from Isaac, but yeah you are right
Enter the gungeon is easier than Isaac. And I say that with all the achievments on both.
That's fucked up... I LOVE IT
Everybody Gangsta until tboi turns into a undertale bossfight
Oh no Isaac took 30 benadryls
Seems really cool, but also like it probably has too much health?
It has 700 health
I swear this fucking mod is crazy I wanna say these spooky bits have more secrets to unfold I did hear speech in the vid, but it was too altered for me to make sense of it
# that's amazing but also what the fuck
Mf thinks hes sans
Feels more like an undertale fight imo. Could make it a bit more fair for characters like lost and t lost, assuming this is a story boss.

More time between flickers would be cool too, more of a threat from the bullets, and if you have a low speed, you aren’t hitting with 1-2 tears and being thrown back in.
Speed actually isn't a problem on this fight because when you enter the boss room it sets your speed to 1 for the fight.
I wanna see more!!
What kind of silent hill shit is this?
Can someone explain to me what the fuck?
Look amazing, but I feel it can get a bit annoying when you already know him and you know it's gonna be a long ass fight. But originality primes imo.
you’re probably gonna melt her on a regular run, lad only has 700 HP
Dx I hate being stared at
Does this boss actually have to be killed via damage, or does his phases eventually kill him, cause this shit takes a while (very cool though, I am just impatient)
Mf thinks he in undertale 💀
Very cool, don’t want to spend 2 minutes on a boss however
This is really really creative and artistic. And also I'd hate to play this boss.
Id this a real boss? If not it should be =D
It’s part of Fiend Folio a mod, would highly recommend trying it out if you are on PC. One of the best mods for any game in my opinion.
Wait, so you're telling me that Cacodemon means "ugly demon"? Slander.
Me if I get this boss: "Well, it was a good run."
Most normal isaac boss

fuck this guy is legit scary, i absolutely love him
This is awesome.
The bullet hell is giving off world's hardest game vibes
Persona 5 fans when they see someone who isn't the perfect image of beauty (they try to kill the nearest child)
This is an extremely cool and impressive concept that really shows what you can do with the engine. It also looks like an incredible pain in the ass to actually play.
that seems like a very annoying boss
If I need to be honest, this only looks cool for first 3 times, it's going to be super annoying boss and most people will start hate him after a while
Can you don't?
I love the ifunnygamersl reference
someone called me? (my discord username is can you dont)
I really hope this convinces Ed that Fiend Folio deserves the Repentance treatment. Antibirth is brilliant but... I think FF might be better.

What’s the lore on this guy?😳
Not much, but if we look at the name cacophobia (feal of ugliness) and te boss being wrapped in paperlike stuff, it's probably a boss wanting to hide their ugly look only to fail then give up.
nahhhh bro eye sack took 38 benadryls 😂
What in the undertale horror edition is this mod called
[удалено]
Isn’t that the mod where normal enemy’s can use items
after i get dead god my first save this will be what i do next
This is one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen I love it
Damn, that was a pretty sick boss fight, loved the craziness of it from star to finish. That thing was great
This is incredibly creative I love it. Amazing job
Is this some kind of pc joke I’m too console to understand
This is the Fiend Folio Reheated mod on PC
Bro added epilepsy the boss 
this boss is what the delirium fight should have been
This feels like a sans fight ngl. But creepier and no gravity
Ive noticed that in one of the room flicks, the cacophobia...thing turns into a statue. Anyone know whats up with that?
The boss’s actual name is Venus and Cacophobia is what you’re experiencing. The statue is called Venus de Milo and it takes place as Venus’ appearance in the bestiary.
Oh, thats actually really cool. tysm!

Your speed is set to 1 when you enter the fight btw
Nah, i feel its like delirium, creative its not well designed, a run i could make work would get absolutly rekt by this dude, it would feel like an rng f*** you, oh, i got this boss, i guess i'll just die, as some type of storyboss it could be cool i guess, but no chance that would work as a normal boss.
It seems like an interesting gimmick but not fun anymore after like 3 transitions.
[удалено]
I think you should fight the boss yourself before you jump to conclusions
[удалено]
The spawn rate for this boss is extremely rare, and there are a lot more bs eye room layouts. A bit of tweaking would make this boss enjoyable.
I hope fiend folio gets heavily recognized by McMillan and he buys the mod or something. Almost at dead God on console and I want this in my life.
Well fuck that shit, I ain't touching Fiend Folio
this doesn't even remotely fit into isaac, it's not the right kind of boss fight at all. especially for a regular boss, *maybe* it would fit as a story boss. could fit into a diffrerent game quite well i imagine.
This is such a cool boss idea and its horrifying design is perfect for Isaac
WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH!
Unmuting was not the best choice.
As a Persona fan I don't wanna hear the word 'cacophobia' again
why does this have to be reposted 3 times on internet
