As if vanilla Scarred Womb wasn't bad enough, FF decides to add more "surgery gone wrong" fellas into the mix, as well as some designed after skin conditions or diseases with skin relate symptoms. To me, Scarred Womb differs from the Corpse in that it's themed around damage/wounds, while Corpse is after the damage (long term). That said, my personal favorite is the contestant with it's screw tossing attack. Something tells me those screws can delete something from reality too

[@SilentXplosionVids]

If you get hit by one while at low health... You're screwed.

[@Buzzblade146]

Honestly, the contestants are surprisingly wholesome once you realize their attacks are literally them playing catch.

One of the coolest floors. Sadly there aren’t that many new enemies on it like the others have. But honestly these womb floors are my favorites so far.

Something I really appreciate about Fiend Folio is that in addition to completely new enemies, it also expands on the existing enemies and enemy mechanics as well, even adding new variants and evolutions for some of them

[@ghifariasoka8272]

@@glyphidbulkdetonator Gehenna amped up its torture chamber theme with some of its enemies being based on torture devices too

[@tombotr]

The theme seems to be a combination of botched surgery and parasites. Cacophobia is also a boss that is unique to this area, I wonder if they were the one who was responsible for stapling skin to all of the walls.

[@ghifariasoka8272]

Missed opportunity for a stapler themed enemy tbh

[@ВікторТроцай]

Not just all of the walls, a lot of enemies look sewn or stapled together as well if you look closely. However I feel like cacophobia is not the one responsible for all of this, it also seems to be weirdly made out of tiny body parts, and it is roughly the same size as it lives. My assumption is that Isaac was supposed to have a brother, but he came out of the womb sideways and got stuck, which resulted in him having to be pulled out in parts, and therefore cacophobia seems to struggle to hold structural integrity and needs all of those bandages to stay in one piece, but unfortunately, the bandages seem to be peeling off with age. And for the 'eyes' , my assumption is that they are residual eggs, out of which some are leaking thanks to the above mentioned parasites. They are normally located in the uterus and not the womb, but I feel like Isaac might not know that, and in his mind, they can very well be there. If you read this far, wow you are determined, thank you and sorry for this unit of a comment.

im a little hesitant to believe that, as the "staples" are likely stitching, which implies isaacs mom likely had many internal surgeries, maybe a c section or 2, and all the scar tissue formed over the stitched areas

[@Ultrapyre]

I quite like Fiend Folio's new enemy additions, it makes the floors of the Basement seemingly like actual breathing worlds and these new enemies arose after some time has passed and the creatures adapted to their home.

[@MetalMockingjay]

Fiend Folio deserves to become an official part of the game tbh. It's a shame it probably never will, though

[@creechieuihana]

Fiend Folio Figments: Figuring out what each FF Floor represents in Isaac’s mind (because I’m bored) Scarred Womb was probably conceived from what I’d call “a grudge”. Isaac probably came out the womb in a WEIRD way, and ruined Magdalene’s insides. So she did a little bit of motherly payback and described the many horrifying surgeries and what Isaac did to her in there by simply existing, just to judge him. Toxic. This version of the Womb is what Isaac thinks his mom’s (mmm not saying that) looks like, absolutely mangled because he apparently had a choice to… be born.

The enemy has 50hp

[@ghifariasoka8272]

My turn: 1. Peel Health: 35 Follows Isaac, occasionally revealing a fleshy tendril armed with a scalpel, which it uses to attack - ‌The chance of it attacking increases with damage taken - ‌If the scalpel touches a wall or pillar, pulls itself towards it 2. Itch Health: 30 Slowly follows Isaac, becoming faster with damage - After taking enough damage (10 HP), twitches and scratches in place before opening all its wounds, spraying blood shots in random directions -‌ ‌Chases Isaac very quickly but with looser traction 3. Staples Health: 45 Floats around the room, pausing to fire six staples at Isaac - ‌If the staples hit Isaac, heis immobilized for some time - ‌If the staples hit the floor or wall, it turns into a damaging obstacle, remaining until the room is cleared

Ay,since i haven't found a way yet, it doesn't hurt to ask : Does anybody know how to play Fiend Folio Reaheated with more than 40 frames ? Don't get me wrong, the mod is awesome,but damn is it laggy. I have tried modifying scaling options, disabled some effect, installed optimization mods, but even then it's still laggy. Before you ask, i may not have the greatest pc on earth, but it's no bottleneck. My CPU and GPU are barely being used. I don't have a lot of mods besides that. The only ones that could potentially impact performance are: -Better pedestals & Co-op + (for the coop playthrough ) -Mom footstomps (Have tried without it, no perf difference) -Some API's (Minimap,Custom item, custom stages of course) tho im not sure they actually impact performance in any way -Missing tear GFX and visibullets (I think those may cause the most lag, but the fact that i barely get 50fps without any action happening proves that it's not just them.) It's honestly bearable when i play solo. But if i ever want to go co-op, we're not gonna get above 50 frames from beginning to end. If anyone can help,i'll apreciate some assistance.

Ah yes, the last one of the the stage 4 floors, continuing the trend of body horror in both floor design and enemy design. Funnily enough however, while the modded version of the Uterus is a clear improvement over the Womb one in terms of horror and design (at least in my opinion), it is much more debatable if the Scarred Womb or the Uterus one is better. I personally prefer the Scarred Womb over the Uterus even if the background design is not necessarily that unique, but I can see arguments for both floors. At the end of the day, I give the Scarred Womb a perfect score just for the Bertran reference and for giving home to cacophobia, possibly the best boss in the whole mod. This also means I will begrudgingly change my vote of the Uterus down to a 9/10, even though I tried not to change my score on any floor later on after the first rating. Scarred Womb Rating: 10/10 Personal favourite Enemy: Starving. I wish there was a unique interaction if the only enemies left in the room are Starvings, but it's still a really solid design all around.
