Fun fact: As you all know, you can unlock the door with the Polaroid, the Negative or Faded Polaroid. But you can also unlock the door with Cracked orb so if you have it and have health to spare, you can open it right when you enter the floor.
I kinda like how you find a item called dads note and you start going up levels like hearing something from your dad starts pulling you bk to sanity instead of falling deeper down
0:18 i just used azazel's the fool card because i complete all the boses with azazel before isaac, so then i didnt had idea of how to get the fool card, glad this video helped me
If your confident in yourself skip item rooms to get a planetarium and you can go pick up the items on your was back up, if an item room has unknown items due to curse or alt floor that will be revealed on your way back up too
You can also drop a trinket in the treasure room and get the cracked key AND if you dont have inner child unlocked and play as a character you already unlocked as the tainted version, then you'll always get a keeper prop
You can also, throughout the run on each floor, leave an unwanted trinket in a treasure room or a boss room and when you take dad’s note and start the ascent these trinkets will have turned into cracked keys
Few important notes: Treasure rooms remain in the ascent. So if you missed any during the run you can get it now (also skipping a treasure room during the run increases planetarium chances. Trankets transform if left in any boss room during the run. So I you leave a trinket on floors 1/2 you can use pickups during the ascent. Good luck fighting dogma!
Also if you happen to spawn with the glowing hourglass and use it at the very start of your run it will teleport you into the last room you where in which in this case would be isaacs (house) room before he jumped in to escape mom. My lil bro did this with eden and unlocked tainted eden before even killing dead mother. Pretty neat.
HUGE TIP:if you plan on getting a tainted character, go into boss rush (if you can) and grab literally any item, good or bad, then teleport away before you get hit by a boss (I did this once and got haemolacria)
Oh, they're tainted cuz they know dad left and mom tried to kill them after a psychotic break, and they're just engaging in the delusion for comfort... that's why they're usually stronger
I just realised that the room where lies the tainted character is the same room from the cover image for the dlc, look and compare, dolly, holy water, honey bottle etc.
I think I need to start trying this because I'm getting kinda bored with the game and need something to keep me interested instead of constantly playing greed mode for keeper and holy mantle.
if you get bored, i highly recommend trying to get every hard mode mark for all characters. i haven't even gotten close, but it's kept me interested. when i noticed my azazel was nearly 100% complete, i felt like i should get the rest for everyone else considering most other characters i only had 4-5 marks with
Fun fact: If you somehow get the blue hourglass (I forgot it's name 💀) without going into any rooms and you're on basement 1,you instantly get teleported to home
Beat mega the lamb and blue baby then go into the alt floors on next run after first boss. Find a white flame walk into it and then fly into a mirror and go to the item room in the mirror to get a knife half, keep going to the next alt floor the mines and click 3 buttons to make a rail take the rail follow the rooms to the next knife piece and take the sacrifice door to mausoleum pretty straightforward from there
@@Briccolo If you get an angel/devil deal after mom's heart, you are able to go to cathedral/sheol. Beating the floors' bosses 5 times each will unlock you the Polaroid and the Negative that you will get for free after killing mom. You will also be able to access cathedral and sheol after beating mom's heart 11 times without needing a deal with the angel/deal. One last thing is that after your 10th mom's heart kill you will unlock blue womb which you will only be able to get to by beating mom's heart in under 30 minutes, killing it's boss Hush 3 times will unlock the path to the Corpse mom.
To beat "mother" you must beat hush 3 times Opening the new alt path Got into the alth path then get 2 knife pieces Keep going then send the knife (dubble tap) on a special door that shows after you beat mom on the alth floor Then just beat mom's heart and go into mom's corpse Then you'll find mother It's that's easy! (At least for everyone but me 😭)
im not gonna lie, the only useful information i got out of this was that you can drop a trinket in the dads note boss room and itll still turn into a cracked key, why didnt i know that..
Annndddd if you’re playing a tainted character, (And have it unlocked) Inner child will be where the tainted character would be, giving an extra life, and when you die you get smaller :0
I still hate that all the base characters have unique unlocks and stuff, and then the tarnished all have the same exact process. The tarnished characters mod did the job so much better.
Played tainted characters once and got tired of them. Most utilise low hp punishment all the time and the other half is rerol based. Got tired of it and downloaded 100% file to enjoy game. Did 100% on the switch version for afterbirth+. Repentance is a chore.
@@kingcalibur413 The thing is I was a new player and I was so focused on beating hush every single run till I saw that the alt path opened so I did a bethany run and first thing I get that run Tech x then I start getting a lot of good items and I killed mother on corpse (with some help on how to get knife pieces on wiki)
Isaac and his mother lived alone in a small house on a hill. Isaac kept to himself, drawing pictures and playing with his toys as his mom watched Christian broadcasts on the television. Life was simple, and they were both happy. That was, until the day Isaac's mom heard a voice from above: "Your son has become corrupted by sin! He needs to be saved!" "I will do my best to save him, my Lord," Isaac's mother replied, rushing into Isaac's room, removing all that was evil from his life. Again, the voice called to her: "Isaac's soul is still corrupt! He needs to be cut off from all that is evil in this world and confess his sins." "I will follow your instructions, Lord. I have faith in thee," Isaac's mother replied, as she locked Isaac away in his room, away from the evils of the world. One last time, Isaac's mom heard the voice of God calling to her: "You have done as I asked, but I still question your devotion to me. To prove your faith, I will ask one more thing of you." "Yes, Lord. Anything," Isaac's mother begged. "To prove your love and devotion, I require a sacrifice. Your son Isaac will be this sacrifice. Go into his room and end his life as an offering to me, to prove that you love me above all else!" "Yes, Lord," she replied, grabbing a butcher's knife from the kitchen. Isaac, watching through a crack in the door, trembled in fear. Scrambling around his room to find a hiding place, he noticed a trapdoor to the basement, hidden under his rug. Without hesitation, he flung open the hatch just as his mother burst through his door and threw himself down into the unknown depths below.
How to unlock tainted keeper and then play nothing else for like a year because at this point you can't tell if you're addicted to tainted keeper or scared to try any other character
That is a lie(kinda)my first tainted character was tainted eden,which i started with glowing hourglass and i wondered what would happen if i used it in the start(this only works for your first character and must be eden(probably)because u need the hourglass).
Don't forget - the Faded Polaroid trinket can also open the strange door.
isn't that just crazy op? cause you can just use it and still get the benefits from Polaroid or the negative

Easier way: get glowing hourglass in a eden run
How would that help?
@@veryangrytomato If you glowing hourglass on the first room of a run, you get sent to Home.

Yep! And another patch with online co-op is planned for November!
You forgot to say that the strange door can also be opened with: broken padlock, cracked orb, faded polaroid and soul of Cain
Fun fact- If you have Eden unlocked you can instantly enter home without the unlocks by using hourglass in the start room
Great video as per usual
Incredible art style and so incredibly well thought out with incredible secrets
Quickest way to get home restart with Eden to get the glowing hour glass use in the starting room without any going other rooms

Best characters - tainted characters

If you have little baggy the tinted skull will drop telepills instead

These tutorials hurt my brain
by the way, u can open the door (where the tainted characters are) with soul of cain

What?
also you can get free tainted eden if you get time traveling thing and use it in first room (thats how i got tainted eden)
i played this so many times and didnt know this
I got tainted Eden after I started a run as Eden with that blue hourglass. Haven't even unlocked to alt floors.
You can also have a key and broken hourglass as Eden and boom you are at home 😊
I already unlocked like 7 tainted characters... yes I watched it whole :D
I really need to try this game.
tainted lost gonna be real hard to get
bonus points if you get a free item form bosh rush before using the fool card
Tainted Lost is my favourite character
Followed by Tainted Jacob
Followed by Tainted Bethany
fun fact tainted isaac is the version of him his mom beat and threw into the basement
You don't have to kill mother to dogma. All you gotta do is go to dogma and used cracked key. No need for killing corpse mommy
You need to kill Mother once to unlock the door that leads to Home in Depths 2
"best" i wouldn't really say tainted lost is among the best characters but you do you man
You can also use faded Polaroid to open the door!
Neat guess i need to pick isaac back up aont played since the lost came out
Oh I started proper at Repentance, there’s been so much since you’ve played dude
How did I not notice that u need to drop a trinket for it to turn into red keys are u kidding me rn 💀💀

I play this game on only hard mode cuz I find it more fun than normal mode
"best characters"
t.lazarous, t.lost, t.appolyon:

tbh that boss was entirely too easy, the only semi hard parts was the second phase of the tv boss and the last horseman

How do i get to corpse mom ? Started to play repentence few weeks back and on fresh file.
But for me when I was trying to get tainted lilith there was no tinted skull for me 😢
I have been asking this for so long on rebirth can you get tainted characters and how do you might mom or make way to beast?
you need to buy repentance
I did it for the first time… and forgot to use key and went to bed 😅
I forgot how complicated this game is o.o
Why have i never seen northern lion do any of this
Would you have to kill mother once with any character or do you need to do it with every character when you want to unlock the tainted variant?
Only once
Tainted characters aren’t the best to me they are some of the worst. Besides tainted keeper, I love them.
i did it and there was no door. had the trinket and dads key but there was no extra door for the tainted character
HOW AM I THIS DUMB I THOUGHT THE NEGATIVE WAS A FACE NOT A REVERSED POLAROID!!!!
What's
What's the difference between normal and tainted characters
They are essentially different characters, for example with Isaac item pedestals switch between 2 items and you can only have 8 passive items at once
How can I play this game cause for some reason it's just blackscreeen with sounds
Faded Polaroid also works
