There are dozens of different bosses in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, and a few new bosses have been included in the Repentance expansion, including Mother , one of the most difficult and powerful in the entire game. To give you a cable to defeat it, we have prepared the following guide that we invite you to read below.
How to defeat Mother
To fight against Mother it is necessary that you access Corpse, the only floor where it can appear. By defeating her you will unlock new objects with the different characters, a new ending and many other achievements, so it is a combat that sooner or later you will have to face .
You could say that Mother is an alternative representation of Mom from Isaac’s perspective and that it has two different phases, each with its respective attacks that it is important to take into account to know how to approach them each time you do any of them, because the Battle can get out of control very quickly and reduce your life in a jiffy.
First phase
One of the most common attacks he will make is one where he will grab a knife with one of his hands and throw it in a straight line. Hitting the wall will spawn a lot of shots, but if you position yourself on the opposite side of the room as far as possible it will give you plenty of time to dodge them if you have reflections.
With another of his attacks, a part of his hands will explode and several rows of projectiles will shoot out in the form of waves towards you. In this case we recommend that you stand at the bottom of the room and move up as they approach you or you can also stand near Mother and move down.
He may also punch the ground and blow up multiple shots. A good way to avoid them is that you always pay attention to their hands to be clear when they will do it, because a good idea is to stand in a corner of the stage.
A less common attack, thankfully, because it is more difficult to dodge, is that Mother will hide at the top of the stage and a lot of enemies will start to appear from the bottom . These will not go after you, but the best thing is that you eliminate as many as you can because Mother will punch everyone she reaches by throwing them at you. The place where you have the best chance of succeeding is on one of the sides of the screen.
As for its most lethal attack is the Fistula , a giant ball that Mother will always punch in the direction you are at that moment, so it is important that you do not stop moving, because every time it hits the part The bottom of the screen will be broken a bit by taking out four lines of two projectiles each, unless you manage to make the ball hit the walls, in which case these annoying shots will not appear. So until after several blows it will shatter by taking out smaller balls.
Second level
When you damage Mother enough she will destroy her arms, a sign that the second phase of the battle will begin at that moment. When this happens you have to move quickly to the side of the room because it will shoot a giant beam that covers the entire center of the stage . In turn, it will change so that now you can move freely through it.
One of the attacks that it will make regularly is that it will start to circle in the center while launching a lot of rows of projectiles. If you are in the low part and you are moving quickly and slightly from left to right successively you should be able to dodge them easily, as much as it seems that it is impossible.
At another time it will catch air and attract shots towards it . To avoid being hit, you have to go around it. You don’t have to go very fast either, but when he collects enough he will shoot a giant ball that will smash when it hits a wall. There you have to try to get behind Mother so that the projectiles that are fired collide with her and do not harm you.
It can also happen that beams of lights suddenly appear in a vertical and horizontal position . That implies that a good handful of shots will fall in those lines, so you will simply have to be attentive to their positions to move to a place where you see that they are not going to hit you.
Finally, at certain times Mother will jump off stage . Here it is very important that you pay attention to the upper part of the room, because in the left half or in the right half a part of the stage will break, which means that it will appear on that side in a downward direction and then make its way to the reverse from the other side. Finally it will fall in the whole center taking out numerous spikes around it, but taking into account all these details you should be able to finish it when you crush it enough.
