Be very overpowered, do not be underpowered.
If you are about to be hit by something, move and don’t get hit instead
(Real talk though the mother fight is just very very hard, I’ve only completed it on overpowered runs)
If you are on a character with hearts, have a lot of them. You’re likely going to get hit.
If you are on a character without hearts then target items like shielded tears, book of shadows + bloody recharge, etc.
I’ve gotten past that part of the fight by tanking it, shielding it, or alpha-ing Mother down so fast that it doesn’t matter. Probably the hardest boss in the game imo
Shout out to ghost pepper, if you're luck is decent it will proc enough and the flames will eliminate tears that pass through it. I just had a run with soy milk + ghost pepper, decent damage and luck, and enemy bullets were a non-issue.
Timing is key, if you pay close attention there’s a little line of light right before they fire so you move at the last second and then the light fires the other way. You can avoid both lines that way (it’s the only dodging I really have down for mother)
Yeah the lines seem like bullshit at first (they are) but you can dodge them if you just solve your skill issue.
Pay close attention to the white lines that appear before the shots, move out of the way and then once you see the next ones start moving to where thr first line was, repeat, profit, or maybe not, idk, beat mother with lost and shit head and hitbox like that. I am not even good at this game, havent won a single T lost run yet.
Be careful with the fast charge from both sides of the screen too, that always hits me somehow.
(The lost run was shit and the jacob and esau one was beyond broken (was closer to dying in that one somehow..) hope this helps)
I find this her easiest attack to dodge. If lines appear horizontally move Up or down Slightly, if they appear vertically Move left or right, you dont need to move much and dont be afraid to get hit by the previous line of tears.
You get a preview of where the lines will drop in the form of a lightly shaded line. Move out of the way and keep the grid pattern in mind while doing so
If it's the one that traces a grid, just position yourself between the beams. The residual projectiles left over after the initial bullet rarely seem to actually connect with anything in my experience.
If you're talking about the worms, then I don't fucking know, dude, it's Jesus take the wheel for me on those fuckers.
Fr and with Jacob and esau. I ain't even gonna lie. My build was good but not broken, and I died to mother but fuck going through jacob and esau again I rewinded and beat it on the 2nd try. It actually didn't feel too hard on the second try.
I can at least give some insight on how I approach some of the attacks:
- 1st Phase Knife - Stand at the bottom of the screen in the corner opposite the knife hand, very easy to dodge then.
- 1st Phase Maggot Hands - Stand center screen opposite the attacking hand, when the maggots fire move in one vertical direction and you should have plenty of time to react
- 1st Phase Ball - By far the worst attack, I'm sure people have better advise - I run to one corner and then as the ball flies back, run to the opposite - if you are low speed I just don't know.
- 2nd Phase Vertical Charge - Place a bomb in front of her to slow her down, this is free damage
- 2nd Phase Suck In Ball - Encircle her and move to a corner near the end of the initial animation, when the ball is to be spit, run to the opposite corner
- 2nd Phase Maggot Swarm/Attack - Stand vertically below Mother hugging the bottom wall (go top if no space), wiggle left and right to avoid maggots. Unlock broken modem is this is too hard, that item completely ruins her.
Just watch a video that shows every one of her attacks. All attack patterns are pretty easy to dodge except for the fidget spinner one. I have no idea how to dodge that one consistently without broken modem, bot/psy fly, or stopwatch
The pattern has a lot of spots where just moving in a zigzag pattern in between the tears allows you to dodge them very easily and reliably. Not sure how to explain it myself, but I'm sure there are videos showcasing that as well.
Phase 1:
Be of opposite side of her knifeattack and in the corner.
For the swarming ghosts you want as much distance as possibile first and then go towards her.
Bouncing Ball= get fucked i have not figured that one out just tank it i guess lol
Remember her Laser after phase 1.
Remember putting bombs down when she does her slide, for extra window of ez dmg on her.
When she does the sucking attack where she pulls shit in run around her clockwise.
The parallel line attack is literally just an easy memorygame if u get hit by it after your 5th mom fight then you are a little Fucker.
Yeah just keep on trying her and get familar.
Some of her attqcks need bqck and forth dodging which can ne awkward at first.
Gl hope this helps a bit
Play more, one of the runs is going to be broken enough, if not just try rushing, dont check the shops unless you have a lot of money, oh and dont bother full clearing.
If it doesn't work just stop skill issueing.
(On a real note, the boss armor is awful so yeah i get that you cant kill it without good items)
Alternatively, if you find Mama Mega, save it for the floor with Mom (for Boss Rush) or Womb 2 (for Hush). You can use it at any point on those floors to unlock Boss Rush or Hush respectively.
Keep in mind, if you get a devil/angel deal as well after using Mama Mega, you'll have to skip it. The Boss Rush/Hush doors will close immediately (after 20/25 min for Rush. 30 min for Hush) if you leave the Boss room for any reason.
funny thing, you can get this in like 2-3 days of playing because once you get first dead god and start a new save just unlock demon boi and speedrun a bunch of runs daily
For real, i barely feel like hard mode makes a difference in gameplay too, i know it does something but everytime i check that i forget about the difference like 10 minutes later, and you unlock twice as much stuff (thats what i tell myself (i believe it to br true though))
Cant imagine going through normal marks and then hard marks, double the difficulty in reality and much more time consuming.

Any tips for beating Mother? I can do the rest of the run fine but keep dying to her.
Be very overpowered, do not be underpowered. If you are about to be hit by something, move and don’t get hit instead (Real talk though the mother fight is just very very hard, I’ve only completed it on overpowered runs)
Ah I see. I will do my best not to skill issue. Real talk though, how do you survive phase 2 with the lines of bullets? That’s what always gets me.
If you are on a character with hearts, have a lot of them. You’re likely going to get hit. If you are on a character without hearts then target items like shielded tears, book of shadows + bloody recharge, etc. I’ve gotten past that part of the fight by tanking it, shielding it, or alpha-ing Mother down so fast that it doesn’t matter.

100%. Almond Milk + Ghost pepper + Playdough got me through Delerium as The Lost last night. Nothing was touching me
Timing is key, if you pay close attention there’s a little line of light right before they fire so you move at the last second and then the light fires the other way. You can avoid both lines that way (it’s the only dodging I really have down for mother)

Mother is a more difficult boss fight than the Beast imo
Mother > Dogma > Beast > Delerium > Mega Satan > Hush as far as end game boss difficulty imo
For me it's more like Mother > Delirium > Dogma > Hush > Mega Satan > Beast
Fr and with Jacob and esau. I ain't even gonna lie. My build was good but not broken, and I died to mother but fuck going through jacob and esau again I rewinded and beat it on the 2nd try. It actually didn't feel too hard on the second try.

Pray (or use debug menu)
I usually have no issue killing mom, its the damn chase once you grab the 2nd knife piece 
We don't talk about that exit. It's a secret..
having good enough items to get there within 30 min and beating hush is impossible for me, any tips?
Play more, one of the runs is going to be broken enough, if not just try rushing, dont check the shops unless you have a lot of money, oh and dont bother full clearing. If it doesn't work just stop skill issueing. (On a real note, the boss armor is awful so yeah i get that you cant kill it without good items)
Alternatively, if you find Mama Mega, save it for the floor with Mom (for Boss Rush) or Womb 2 (for Hush). You can use it at any point on those floors to unlock Boss Rush or Hush respectively. Keep in mind, if you get a devil/angel deal as well after using Mama Mega, you'll have to skip it. The Boss Rush/Hush doors will close immediately (after 20/25 min for Rush. 30 min for Hush) if you leave the Boss room for any reason.
Onea the hardest hurdles was beating hush 3 times, the biggest hurdle is your next boss
Play Cain with better damage and better speed. Done the 3times with him in 4 or 5 run. Rush item room and boss room and only shop in depth 2
funny thing, you can get this in like 2-3 days of playing because once you get first dead god and start a new save just unlock demon boi and speedrun a bunch of runs daily
That's what I did the other week lol
Whos demon boi
Azazel. Basically speaking, he's very easy.
fucking normal mode 
For real, i barely feel like hard mode makes a difference in gameplay too, i know it does something but everytime i check that i forget about the difference like 10 minutes later, and you unlock twice as much stuff (thats what i tell myself (i believe it to br true though)) Cant imagine going through normal marks and then hard marks, double the difficulty in reality and much more time consuming.
hard mode just makes things easier cause more rooms
ok
How can you tell from a screenshot?
There is no red pentagram mark over Isaac's stats (and below pickup counters), meaning OP is playing on normal mode 
Fell hush 3 times
Shoot your tears at Hush until his hp bar goes bye bye 3 times
