Recognize it and read the attack
Mom's laugh warns of the encounter; a floor shadow marks the landing.
Drops to grab Isaac, pauses briefly on the floor, then rises to repeat. A grab normally damages Isaac and returns him to the floor's starting room.
What makes it dangerous
The attacker arrives from above, and being grabbed can reset the room's enemies.
A suggested response
- Move outside the shadow while tracking other enemies.
- Attack the landed hand during its brief pause, then prepare for another drop.
Check the other enemies before committing to this response. Obstacles, your weapon and your character can change the safest angle.
The mistake to avoid
Stopping beneath the shadow because no enemy is visible yet.
Follow the landing lane as well as the current position.
