Can you do a victory lap after Mega Satan?

Answered by Robert Dupre

It is possible to do a victory lap after defeating Mega Satan in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+. However, it is important to note that the ability to do a victory lap is exclusive to defeating the Lamb boss and not Mega Satan.

A victory lap is a unique feature in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ that allows players to continue their run after defeating the final boss and starting a new playthrough with all their items and progress intact. It essentially gives players the opportunity to experience the game again with increasingly difficult challenges and new opportunities for rewards.

To initiate a victory lap, the player must defeat the Lamb boss, which is the final boss encountered in the Dark Room path. Once defeated, a prompt will appear asking if the player wants to do a victory lap. If the player chooses to do so, they will start a new run with all their current items and stats, but the game will become progressively harder with each victory lap completed.

However, if the player chooses to defeat Mega Satan instead of the Lamb, they will not have the option to do a victory lap. Mega Satan is an optional boss that can be encountered by completing specific conditions during a run, such as collecting both key pieces and opening the golden door in the Dark Room or the Chest.

It’s worth noting that defeating Mega Satan is considered by many players to be a significant achievement, as it requires a fair amount of preparation, luck, and skill. Mega Satan is a challenging boss with multiple phases and powerful attacks, making the fight quite intense and rewarding if you manage to emerge victorious.

While defeating Mega Satan does not grant the ability to do a victory lap, it offers its own sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. Players who choose to pursue this path may have different motivations, such as completing all the game’s achievements, unlocking specific items, or simply challenging themselves to overcome a difficult boss encounter.

You cannot do a victory lap after defeating Mega Satan in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+. The victory lap feature is exclusive to defeating the Lamb boss. However, defeating Mega Satan offers its own unique rewards and sense of achievement, making it a worthwhile challenge for players seeking to push their skills and complete all aspects of the game.
