The Binding of Isaac Repentance, Rebirth, Afterbirth, Afterbirth+, whatever else there is is meant to be played one way. I did it the opposite way i'm pretty sure. Anyways no polyphemous, C Section, Brimstone, Mom's Knife, Haemolacrea crazy broken build run here. Only Isaac and his mad hops

as a dead god player this man is lying hold R until the green spider is in the yellow crown room
yes :)
or the big eye
Or the funny glasses
Or funni vr headset
Or the purple fly
As an extra tip with keeper, I would like to say that he, along with Maggie, is one of the best users of the sacrifice rooms since when he sacrifices himself, coins can spawn and he heals very easily.
verrry true
I got the megasatan mark on the lost by teleporting to the dark room with strawman in curse room lmao
can’t believe this wasn’t mentioned he is designed to sacrifice himself for those angel deals
37:00 that little pause after the health down pill speaks thousands of words without talking
Average tainted cain run without eid: painful struggle all the way to depths 1 without a single dps up until a host finally puts you out of your misery
How y'all so bad 😭
2:56 green has got to be my favorite mode in isaac
green donation machine is cwazy

I dont know how many people will get this reference. But youre like the Otzdarva of the Binding of Issac community. Youre out here giving us all this good information like a GOAT
hello friends this is otz, at least according to my birthright and death certificate
Hello otz this is friends, at least according to the Rules card
Hello friends this is otz and they have just announced Judas as the new killer in dead by daylight
my tip for every character is just:
don't die
except for tainted jacob sometimes
Lazarus:
Tainted lost's passive doesn't quite work like that. Yes it has a chance to roll lower quality items, but the main thing is that anything that's related to hp (breakfast or razor blade for exemple) or is a defensive item (most respawns, holy mantle, etc) just can't spawn at all
Another little trick with him is to prioritize the even floors. What I mean is this, each chapter in the game has two floors (or xl but doesn't matter here). Boss trap rooms, the challenge rooms with a boss item inside, can only spawn in the second floor of each chapter. One can take advantage of that by intercalating normal and alternate floors, so basically:
basement 1 -> basement 2 -> downpour 2 -> caves 2 -> mines 2 and so on, that should make your run considerably stronger in the long run
Any low health character can benefit a lot from that actually, so obviously both losts, both keepers, but also characters like tainted maggy, tainted eve or lszarus
damn, that advice with the alternate floors is really good actually! Really wish I knew that before completing t lost lol, would've probably made things so much easier
For regular cain, you forgot that luck foot is amazing and gives all positive pill effects, like virgo and phd. It also increases payout chance when gambling on machines and the like. All around an amazing character.
I put it on screen at 3:14 but don't talk about it cuz I forgor when recording lul
extra tip for tainted apollyon: You can abyss an item while it is in the little "holding the item above head" animation. That makes trash shop items insanely good, especially if they are 7 or 10 cents
Every time you say Go Angels I imagine youre cheering on a football team
instructions unclear, removed anima sola from tainted jacob
you would smh
29:38 i actually have a tip for tainted cain i find really helpful, if you can spawn any item in a secret room via something like sacrificial alter, mystery gift, a judgement card, etc, the pick ups you get from the item will be from the secret room pool like bone hearts, you can do this for something like angel rooms too. always helpful to keep in mind.
This actually saved my single T Cain run for getting multiple R keys and finally all the marks in the same run
or using butter! + portable slot. i used that and got all my marks in 1 run
@@electric_6323*or just f$cking crafting multiple in the secret room*
I actually wanna add some more tips for T.Lazarus, the tips and tricks that I used to fully complete T.Lazarus marks without the help of birthright:
1. Beat the boss early, instead of clear every room and then the boss room, you should try to beat the boss with the stronger character, make sure to try to find the secret room or the shop to blow up keepers in order to maximized your deal chance before hand, after you beat the boss, you will be flipped into the other character and the boss item will drop, there you can decide whether you wanna take that item as that character or just go out and clear one room to take that item as the other character.
2.With that being said, map items are extremely useful as the more unclear rooms you have left, the more control you have over your character.
3. Speaking of control, Angel rooms are actually better than Devil deals imo, let say you've killed the boss with the character with a lot of health but you got flipped into the character with like 2 soul hearts and you go to the deal, and see brimstone there, well, just cry I guess. But with Angel items, not only can you take that item for free, you can also choose which characters you wanna take it as with the cost at only 1 bombs, because killing the angel is considered a room clear, therefore, you will be flipped into the other character and take that item as that character
4. But well, you can just throw controlling over your character out of the window if you have some way to generate energy, via Sharp plug or the battery, basically any battery items will make Tainted Laz a whole lot easier
5.Don't play him like Jacob and Esau, I know you wanna be busted with like a hundred damages, but putting all the good items on one character will make the other extra vulnerable and you'll struggle whenever you got flipped to that character, what I recommend is to give one character some form of protection or damage that can help them clear rooms, and all the good items can be the other character's. Just utilize the first trick, using the character with high damage to clear bosses
(I'm not good at English and may make a lot of grammar mistakes, hope you don't mind it)
With regards to point 4, the one energy item to avoid with Tainted Laz is the 4.5 Volt, it significantly slows down your ability to charge your Flip.
Your English is great, and these are great tips!
I love these kinds of videos, I'm so glad we got one of them from you! Very cool!
A good thing to mention with blue baby, the poop has a handful of secret synergies with items like midas touch and hallowed ground, making any poop spawned have a high chance to be either gold or holy, can turn an awful active item to a very good one
I felt that silent moment of fury when you got a health down as Tainted Eve.
Edit: So basically, you're saying Tainted Eden always tries to keep up with the latest trends? You 'get hit' by the latest meme, and become the meme.
Edit2: Technically you can avoid getting spanked by Esau in the Bombfly Bridge Room, you just gotta act quick. As soon as you realize what room you're in, position yourself as close to Easau as possible in front of the door, and hug whatever side gives you more space in a straight line, and you'll juuuust have enough pixel space to avoid his charge.
Good luch avoiding the bomb flies though.
Unpopular opinion: don't go to Caves as T. Jacob
Thank you for these useful tips! One thing you probably just forgot to add which you mentioned for T. Forgotten only, but boney boy in Regular Forgotten can block shots as well, which makes some stuff incredibly easier. I used to struggle with the Isaac and Mega Satan fight, but using the skeleton as protection makes these and some other boss fights look like a joke. Overall one of the more complicated, but really really good characters!
Little tip for samson, if you can go down to the second floor with (at least) 5 cents, please do. It lets the arcade spawn, it will probably have a blood donation machine in there
and then pray for the IV bag
For lost/t lost, I also recommend switching in and out of alt floor. Boss challenge room only generated on the 2 floor of each chapter, so going b1->b2->downpour 2->c2->mines 2 will allow you to grab extra boss items.
Really good as a beginner guide - looking forward to the advanced guide
Mattman was in the intro 🎉
Lets go
A tip for Greed mode: The easiest way I grinded it was as Lilith since each wave is a charge and I just stacked buddies and spammed the active and could beat greed so quick and easy. Focus buying buddies and focus on recharge/ multiple charge for active items
Two more tips for Skellyboi & Lil'Soul (The Forgotten):
1 - The Forgotten body attracts and blocks enemy projectiles (you can see it here 21:09), if he's low on hp switch to the Soul and stay behind the skeleton while shooting;
2 - The charge attack (bone boomerang) is an often neglected mechanic which also blocks enemy projectiles while also doing higher damage than one regular swing (unless your fire-rate is high enough, ofc); I like to enter a room fully charged and toss the bone club before starting to swing it around, and I also use it to help me with bullet-hell bosses while I'm repositioning between attacks.
You can't have a segment on Blue Baby's frail ass without mentioning that The Poop also has an innate Butter Bean effect, meaning he can push incoming projectiles away if they're close enough to him. It's a good panic button that helps ensure you keep your HP until you get a proper build going.
Ty, I have to restart soonish and I never know wtf to do 😭
Best Tainted Blue Baby tip: Don't play that shit infant
Another tip for Apollyon is to go to downpour 2 since the knife piece is pretty much a free stat boost if you're not going for Mother, and you get an extra boss item to absorb/take, and you have more rooms and therefore more charges. There's also the added benefit of reduced risk from taking blind items (in case the visible item is bad) since if the blind item is bad you can absorb it while you're holding the item above your head (if you have bad reaction time you can pause buffer to see what the item is and then decide if you want to absorb it or not.).
5:50 The poop is also pretty good in combination with
hollowed ground.
I think that you forgot to mention it. But when playing as T. Cain, rotten hearts will get you curse room items. Also with T. Cain, it's helpful not to pass up pickup-generating or pickup-modifying items early on. More items is never a bad thing, and items like Lil' Chest, BOGO Bombs, Acid Baby, and GB Bug -- while normally lackluster -- play a nice utility role with T. Cain. Not to mention that Acid Baby can also go a long way to getting stat ups with Virgo, PHD, or Lucky Foot. Even the Portable Slot can be useful if you have a ton of coins lying around, as recycling one slot with another will turn those 8 pennies into a handful of other, possibly more useful, pickups.
T. Jacob tip: if u have half a heart and u are trapped inside a curse room, use anima sola to turn urself into ghost while standing next to the door. This will give u invicibility frames.
Pro Gamer Tip - Get down to half a heart as Tainted Eve and don't skill issue.
my hint for tainted samson is to use book of shadows when berserk starts (for bigger enemies/bosses) so you can just run in them and completely destroy them, also, items like mutant spider give you multiple clubs
for tainted azazel i find the sneeze very helpful against bullet hell bosses like mega satan and it lives because you can knock back tears and when you sneeze at an enemy that spawns smaller enemies (also counts if it spawns enemies when it dies) they also become weak to brimstone attacks and can be cleared easily (hush as an example)
Thank you. Been looking for something like this
Great video! I wanted to mention, for bethany also rotten hearts are useful, because they don't trigger devil/angel room percentage reduction when being hit
15:13 to be more precise, you will only get one of the 8 familiars listed in the wiki, that means you actually have a high incubus/twisted pair chance
I found using Blind Rage with Tainted Magdalene works in conjunction with her gimmick, since it gives more Invincibility frames to hug enemies.
Tbh with tainted lilith i think its better to use tears late-game, because you dont have to aim and you usally have some good tear effects.
One thing I'd like to do with Jacob and Esau is to give 1 of the brothers all the HP generating items as well as a bunch of protection items. That way, they can act as a sort of meat shield for the other brother.
Another tip for t??? is to hold on to hallowed poops, they allow you to either completely cheese a boss of your choosing or exploit blood donation machines/devil beggars using the invulnerability chance.
About book of beilail it's always up there in active items. It multiples damage its not a flat boost.
it literally is a flat boost of +2 damage though. Its only a damage multiplier if you are holding blood of the martyr
@@fortnitrplay6970 no?
@@nathanieljones8043book of belial gives a +2 damage up upon use but it gives you a 1.50x damage multiplier if you have blood of the martyr, where youre getting confused I suppose is the fact that judas naturally starts with a like 1.50x damage multiplier
just got repentance after not touching the game in a hot hot minute- super appreciate this video dude
I don't go strictly angels because it's the worst when I lose the 30% and the 60% leaving me needing to beat depths 1 with item room and shop items. If I'm not lucky with those pools, then the run will just kinda die or drag on. Or I'll skill issue
Actually super helpful, thanks, Matt!
A huge upside of going angels with Lilith, is the possibility of getting immaculate conception. Pairs great with cambion and essentially changes nothing about your game plan while doubling the reward.
For tainted eve when using sumptorium the clots can deal damage as they’re flying back towards you if they pass through enemies
1:04:15
dud ok
that was genuinely very impressive.
You hit the boss TWICE with tainted Esau. At least it looked like it.
Another way to preserve deal chance is rotten hearts, found them super useful when clearing Bethany
Lilith wants battery items. Getting double charges, or use active item twice, charge when damaged even. and anything that improves tears because you get exponentially more of it with thr friend box.
I think one of the most important think to know on lost/Tlost are the different "charges" of holy mantle. Basically things like cross trinket are different holy mantles then the holy card etc
Here's my advice for Tainted Samson: DO NOT pick up Matt's Kidney Stone, or any item that makes you fluctuate in "redness." Not only will you not be able to tell when your beserk state ends, which is especially bad against late game enemies like he said, but it also screws up your tears and jaw bone attacks by interrupting them usually at the worse time, sometimes delaying and messing up their transition while the kidney stone charges, which feels awful. Just trust me on this, it will hurt your run far more than it will help. It's not like he lacks in DPS anyway.
Additionally as Tainted Samson, don't pick up items that shrink you visually, like Spider Bite, Pluto, or Size Down pills, simply because it makes it way harder to tell when you're switching to beserk and that can majorly mess up your gameplay.
I say all this because I had both Spider Bite and Matt's Kidney Stone in my last Tainted Samson run, and it was completely awful, although the character is good enough that I barely squeaked by a Mega Satan and Delirium win even with that anti-synergy. Hope you guys can learn from my mistake though.
Great vid, thanks
Lost with Holy Mantel is so good. Before I got the item the only unlock I had was The Lamb because I was doing a Samson run with a HELLA good item pool and had the missing poster and used it for the hell of it before the boss room.
One run I had was a tainted Isaac run, had a Jacob’s ladder start and found a clicker. Decided fuck it and got tainted Azazel after collecting a junk item and finding out about the clicker’s item removal gimmick, found satan bible, babylon, 4.5 volt, twisted pair, and ludo. Ludo brim is overpowered. And then let’s just say I got my hard mode beast mark for T. azazel.
Something cool with bethany is that you can actually use eraser multiple times on a floor because of the charges (unless they fixed it)
I disagree with you on the lost. I think it's better going devils, since rolling the angel key piece is not guaranteed. Also, lost does have only 1 hp, so going devils to get that boost early on can help you with power scaling, just dealing with rooms easier.
(yes, I'm a devil deal fan)
Thank you Matthew, very cool 👍
Was thinking you'd talk more about specific items strong on certain characters, but honestly you can make an entire video out of that too I feel.
Also for Tainted Jacob I like to turn into the lost after full clearing the floor to pick up stuff I couldn't reach without flight
Cambion Conception doesn't spawn just any familiar, it spawns demonic familiars like Dark Bum, Demon Baby, Leech, Lil' Brimstone, Succubus, Incubus, Lil Abaddon, Twisted Pair
for eden you basically see which character he's closer to and apply that other character strat
also a really small addition but one passive item im just generally kinda "eh its okay, but it could be a better item" with usually, but always hyped to see as the forgotten is shielded tears
there was one run i did where i got to delirium as the forgotten with 9 lives, the first life, i died during that telefragging assholes death animation (i think a stray bullet hit me right as the static was overlaying before they disappeared so i died with him LOL)
meaning i had to do the entire fight again with 1 HP per form, and shielded tears SAVED my ass so hard, i think i also had the milk that makes u just constantly swing too, so there was no bullets hitting me the whole time i fought him. definitely a pickup worth going for (esp that combo with the milk) if u see it
Tip regarding Judas, because you didn’t mention it - Judas is the easiest to clear boss rush with provided you keep the book of Belial. You can use it multiple times during the boss rush and it keeps adding into your damage. Just did that yesterday and it was so easy, can recommend strongly
Lilith’s the easiest mate. You quickly multiply your followers. But yeah, Belial is a similar thing, just not quite as powerful
Something very important I must say about tainted Apollyon. He is the most unassuming busted character in the game with Birthright. His DPS output is insane. With birthrifht and a few flies he can easily shred through the Hush's health pool. It's nuts.
I'd argue that Berserk is pretty useful in bullet-hell fights, since the swing can deflect bullets as well (as you can see at 39:55)
Worth noting for Tainted Maggie that Mom's Locket is imo an S tier trinket. Having all enemies drop full hearts is super helpful in those later floors where you're taking full heart damage.
It might be worth noting that if you void the Alabasters Box you dont need soul hearts to charge it and it just activates when you use void agai
For The Lost (and Tainted Lost) Devil Rooms are good because of possible Dead Cat.
I think for the video you should add a list of some items that work well with each character and which ones to avoid (other than the clear obvious ones)
For the losts id argue that devil deals are better than angels due to the devil pool being better suited to the characters, namely damocles having the instant death negated and the angel deals having 2 of its best items useless on them
Another small tip I would've mentioned with Eve: If you have a soul heart you can use the invincibility frames from Razor Blade to get into the Curse Room without losing your Soul Heart if you have enough Red Hearts.
yknow ive noticed every time i play either samson or judas i usually win and the one thing that helps me win a lot is lead pencil because
samson + lead pencil: take damage then your lead pencil shot thing does massive damage and easily shreds any boss
Judas + lead pencil: use book and get lucky early on to shred bosses aswell
anyways thats my take i have no clue why i play much better on either character but eh
22:40 fun fact, you can preserve your deal chance by picking up rotten hearts
How are you doing to now take damage on 51:25? I am trying similar but no success
As far as i know u cant swap back to the soul as forgotten when it is "dead"
Also if you get unicorns stump as bethany its an instant win cause u can stack the duration by using it mutliple times in a row
You’ll know that you’re set if you get Twisted Pair as Lilith (either with Cambion Conception or Devil Deals) and Car Battery. Also BFF. BFF is GOATed.
Pretty sure Rotten hearts on Bethany also protect your deal chances - and they are far more common than bone hearts.
why do i have to lock in to one deal over the other instead of going angels for first one or two depending on rng. it just doesnt make sense when you will have tons of hp by mid to late to not try to get devils
My brutha i did ultra hard as one of my first unlocks, (on my second save file). I think i did it after unlocking all non tainted characters and doing greedier with everyone bc i dont want to deal with it later. It was very close i will say. The fight took 5 minutes bc damage wasnt amazing, but i did have trinity shield which is apparently a free second phase.
the only characters a have trouble with in isaac are the "multi-entity" characters, witch are jacob and esau and tainted lazerus, i already know every tip for jacob and esau, but tainted lazarus is a genuin pain solely for the fact that you cant always buff both at the same time, its dreadfull to watch them both slowly wither away despite trying to split hp between both of them, im finnaly commiting to infinity percent and i dread having to do tainted laz again
might be a kind of silly way of using them, but when playing j+e i tend to stack luck-based items onto jacob. without perfection, -1 starting luck is really hard to claw out of imo, so my setup tends to be All dps going to esau Except for tear effects which go to jacob
You forgot about Lucky Foot changing all pills to positive. Cain is the one character where you want to use every pill you get.
Bro Mattman as the “veteran tip” is goated.
As someone who now has a -100 win streak playing tainted lost this is definitely gonna help
bot, he's not hard at all. you literally get better items.
For the forgotten stealing trick, you don't need to worry about switching back to the soul because the game will not let you switch back at 0 soul hearts.
ive been experimenting a bit with razor blade usage on eve and there are some tips that i think got missed (though theyre more for razor blade than eve i guess)
razor blade prioritizes red health, so if you want to protect any soul hearts or black hearts you can use the i-frames from razor to sneak in (though first use of razor also costs a full heart in the room so weigh your options before doing this)
second, i feel like a lot of people dont realize that razor blade provides a damage buff on use? forgot if its the first use only or what, but because of this i do like to go into bosses out of whore mode so that the buffs from both whore and blade apply
razor blade doesn't affect your deal chance, too.
But many of the good Secret Room items are locked behind completion marks. So in my opinion, rolling the angel/devil deals is a better choice than the Secret Room. When should I start rolling the Secret Room?
Can you do a video on tips to beating every challange ?
Here's the best tip for Tainted Isaac: Remember you're Tainted Isaac :) (Don't rush for the quality 4 or else you will grab a quality 1)
Another ??? tip, if you find midas touch and there are still shops and you still are rocking the poop, take it, you now can buy whatever you want
I don't know why nobody ever mentions this, but eve has a 0.75x damage multiplier when not transformed, so you should absolutely try to avoid doing combat without your whole of babylon active. Also, Cain has a 1.2x damage multiplier while Judas has 1.3x, which makes Cain essentially the strongest starting character, especially so with just how early you can get him compared to, say, Judas. Oh yeah, also, Azazel has a straight-up 1.5x damage multiplier, only being beaten by Dark Judas
22:20 losing rotten hearts does not lower the chance of a deal
with tainted cain you cain combine 8 hearts or 8 coins (terrible quality pickups) to turn them into a guaranteed active item, which will turn your previous active item into other pickups
Pro Tip: when playing as tainted Lost always pick up Bob's Brain.
That tainted eden tip is actually INSANELY BUSTED
man has NOT played the forgotten recently (the soul devil trick no longer kills you as you can't even switch back to the soul until you get a soulheart)
i misunderstood your comment LUL tbh i've always been too scared to even try when soul has no soul hearts so i didn't even know lmao
@@AnotherMattPlayingIsaac no no, it USED to kill you when you switched back
wait so this is actually a mechanic and not a bug?
31:52 I actually disagree with tainted Cain going angel.
It’s very easy to craft hp ups as tainted Cain, and devil allows t Cain to salvage multiple items instead of angel, where you can salvage 1.
You will be able to craft way way more devil deals than angel deals, as long as you can find a cheap way to craft an hp up
Oh, and better items for tainted lost just removes all hp ups, flight, and pure spectral tears items from the run, if they are part of an item, like sacred heart having hp added, they can appear, but say lord of the pit being pure flight it doesn't spawn, its not sacred orb its the list's birthright (untainted lost)
If the soul is 0 hp, it wont let you swap to him at all until you have at least half a soul heart back (at least on xbox, i play on that and not pc)
Tricky thing about the devil deals with the keeper is that the developers actually tried really hard to make it work
They used to cost health in the afterbirth days and it was fucking awful, anything good would just straight up kill you
Buying the devil deals with money is a MASSIVE improvement, which makes it all the more sad that it's still terrible. Only way you're buying something from the first deal is by playing the sac room, but if you played the sac room chances are you'll get an angel anyway
Honestly the only way they could improve on that is by making the deals cost less, but that might end up making it way too overpowered
Don't forget, you use the rolls in the secret room once you have some good items unlocked in the secret room, otherwise you're basically just waiting for an rkey or 1up
binge eater is also an item that you can find if you have no unlocks
so what youre saying is, go for devil rooms every chance i get, got it
I love you for this video
