If you don't want to use an external tool, you can enable the debug console in the options.ini file ( enabledebugconsole=1 ).
: While the achievement * command is often disabled in Repentance to prevent accidental 100% unlocks, you can use debug commands (e.g., debug 10 for instant kills) to make difficult unlocks much faster.
Based on current community testing, here are the three most reliable tools:
Click – the editor overwrites the chosen repentance.dat file.
| Risk | Explanation | |------|-------------| | | Using an outdated editor (pre-Repentance) will corrupt your data. Always use a Repentance-compatible editor. | | Steam Cloud conflict | Steam may overwrite your edited save with an older cloud copy. Disable Steam Cloud for Isaac before editing, then re-enable it after confirming the save works. | | Missing unlocks | Unchecking certain achievements that are prerequisites for others can break progression (e.g., unlocking It Lives before Mom's Heart). | | Anti-cheat? | No – Isaac has no anti-cheat. You won't be banned. However, some online leaderboards (e.g., daily runs) may be disabled if your save is flagged as modified (though rarely enforced). | | False achievement spam | If you unlock 100 achievements at once, Steam will pop them all in a row – harmless but annoying. |
