I not only like the game's gameplay, but I really like its atmosphere, character designs, and ties with religious lore.

My favorite character is probably Lilith (I even used her as an avatar here for a while), but I haven't unlocked her yet.

I came painfully close last night though...

As a general tip, range is key when you play as Azazel. The damage is no problem, especially early on, but it's the pitiful range of his that has to be increased if you want to succeed. On that run I had pinking shears (upon use it gives you flight for the current room by decapitating you, making your body become a familiar that attacks nearby enemies, dealing TONS of damage) so during the Ultra Greed fight I just used them and simply dodged his attacks, destroyed his coins when I could, and let my decapitated body do all the damage. Probably not the best decision since I suck at dodging.

Some other tips I may offer:


 * For the key coins: Just destroy as much as possible, and make sure you have a good plan for the Greed Gapers he summons.
 * For the bomb coins: Don't bother destroying them all. Instead, go for just a few so you can make a safe spot to stand and not have to worry about the explosions.
 * For the heart coins: Destroy these as fast as possible, and destroy as many of these as possible.
 * For the spinning coins: Just destroy these quickly. They can get in the way, but that's it.
 * Destroy the Greed heads he spawns, they can make you lose your money, and, if you look below...
 * Snag as many pennies, nickels, and dimes you find on the ground; Ultra Greed heals from picking them up.
 * Refrain from worshipping Ultra Greed's plush, fabulous booty mid-fight. It might flatter him, but his job is to kill you, so it doesn't really do much of anything.
 * Ultra Greed has scaling HP, so an OP run may still struggle against him. Be wary of that.
