The Host








Challenge Number
18
18
The Host is Challenge #18, starting with the items Spiderbaby,
The Mulligan, and the
Tick. The goal is to defeat Mom. This Challenge is unlocked by default.
Contents
Difficulty[edit | edit source]
- Isaac starts with the Tick, meaning picking up other trinkets is impossible without
Mom's Purse or
Belly Button.
It is also removable using the
Match Stick.
A Gulp pill or
Smelter can also be used to ingest the Tick.
Strategy[edit | edit source]
- Shops can sell Mom's Purse, which will allow a second trinket.
- Shops can also sell
Hive Mind, which will make blue flies and blue spiders bigger and stronger.
- Shops can also sell Smelter, which will allow the tick to be smelted and new trinkets to be picked up.
Reward[edit | edit source]
- Technology .5 - Complete The Host (challenge #18).
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- A host is an organism that is infected by a parasite, which explains why Isaac has items and trinkets relating to parasites.
- This challenge is similar to the 'Lord of the Flies' challenge in the original game.
