Marks belong to characters
Defeating a target fills its mark for the character you used. Try the same target with another character to record that character's mark.

Run goals and completion marks explained
Pick a character, choose one reachable destination, and let that goal decide which exit or timer matters. The post-it note on the character select screen records the completion marks you earn.
Prepare for the next floor
Read floor access, checkpoint and exit rules, then compare the mode that matches your completion goal.
The basic idea
A run can have a purpose.
Normal and Hard
A Hard clear counts for both Hard and Normal. Greed Mode has its own slot, with Greedier as the higher clear level.
Routes and timers change the plan
Some goals depend on the exit you take. Boss Rush and Hush use time limits. Choose your main destination before the run so you know which gate to prepare for.
You can earn more than one mark in a run when the route allows it. There is no need to chase every mark at once.
A simple starting plan
Choose a target you can reach now.
These are useful milestones for a new save. You can take the upper or lower route first once they become available.
First destination
See the save-file unlock gates Mom's Heart
Learn the floors and aim to clear the Womb boss with one character.
See the markWhen the exits open
Isaac or Satan
Choose Cathedral for Isaac or Sheol for Satan. Each is its own character mark.
Choose your destination
What each completion mark asks you to do
The 12 tracker targets are grouped by main paths, timed objectives, Repentance routes, and Greed Mode. The unlocks required to reach later paths are shared across the save file; the marks themselves are recorded for each character.
Each card shows the mark as it appears for a Normal and Hard clear. Greed and Greedier use the same slot. Delirium changes the paper itself.
