I still don't know how to unlock Tainted characters. (Yes, I get that you have to beat Dogma and the Beast, but I don't know how to get to them yet.)

[Brackets.] - Endless backlog. Presume I'm playing something MMO with some Indies on the side.

i assume youre not asking how, but if you get to the beast the first time, at least one method is pretty much handed to you

the other way is definitely less likely to be found without some luck

LOL, fucking game trying to troll me.

I somehow get a Godlike Eve Run (Death's Touch + Monstro's Lung+ Ocular Rift.

On the Chest I get Curse of the Blind. I get technology... and Cursed Eye.

Thankfully my damage was so absurd I killed ??? in two attacks and got the no damage achievement for The Chest.

Somehow I still don't have Spelunker Boy. >_>

I haven't messed with the Tainted characters much. I did some with Tainted Cain cause I figured out a couple decent recipes and spammed them.

Finally managed to get The Forgotten, and immediately finished Mega Satan and Delirium in the same run with him. Thank you Wafer!

Almost stopped playing after getting frustrated with beating mother , but I finally managed to win yesterday with an overpowered Eden run. Although most of it was me finally being able to dodge some of the attacks.
Now on to unlock a bunch of stuff and ignore the alt path entirely for a while. I think the second part of the puzzle (on the alt pat) is way to samey to be any fun after the first few times.

Good Lord, I just had the most crazy run in ages.

Been trying to get Boss Rush as Lazarus. Got an early Tech X, but besides from Mysterious Liquid I couldn't find anything to increase my damage. Right around the Depths I'm considering resetting the run, but I managed to find Haemolacria. I manged to just barely get to the Boss Rush in time, but it's Curse of the Blind and I died so I'm currently Risen Laz with 1 heart container. I pick up the mystery item for Boss Rush and it's Marked.

I'm in a desperate situation, so desperate I use my judgement card in hopes of getting an hp up. I was lucky enough for him to drop half a soul heart but... the beggar killed himself with a troll bomb >_>

Managed to clear boss rush. Boss in Womb 1 is Conquest. I die but Guppy's Collar kick in, and I take him in the rematch. With the Pony and The Fool, I decided to YOLO a Curse Room. I find Guppy's Head and that's my third Guppy item. Mom dies before she can do anything and I head to the Cathedral so I can at least attempt a Chest win. The Cathedral is very nice and I end up with a couple of soul hearts on the way to the boss. One of the items is The Parasite.

I now cover the room in poisonous lasery death. To the point the game actively lags. I can barely see anything in the room once I move an arrow key. Then I get Almond Milk, which makes me fire even FASTER. I can stop firing and it can take up to 10 seconds for the lasers to go away. I take a pill(Because I'm a gambler at heart), Health Up. I manged to find a second one before fighting the boss. The portal to The Void shows up.

Fuck it.

After clearing the Chest I go in.

Managed to get some more soul hearts(Though I got hit a few times due to not being able to see.. any enemy attack).

The run went from "Give me a reason not to hold down R" to laggy bullet hell that gave me two completion marks. I remember why I love this game.

..Man paying attention to boss rush, there's a LOT of attacks that are basically "Jump from off screen and land on Isaac". How the hell do people do that shit as The Lost?

Never ever stop moving and/or just get so busted you kill everything in boss rush in one hit

Lost was a little easier when you got unlimited free Devil Room deals, get 2-3 good devil rooms and you can murder things with ease.

You're also relatively safe from that sort of attack when on top of rocks. In that when you're on top of rocks, often the monsters that do that sort of attack where they jump won't know where you are to jump on you, so they won't.

Anyway, I started up a tainted lost run; and floor 1 library with both the Book of Shadows and the Book of Virtues... that was basically a won run right there, but the second floor angel room had Godhead, and it kept snowballing from there. I ended up clearing the boss rush due to finding Mama Mega on Depths 2, and went on after and cleared out The Beast! He and the ultra horsemen were MELTED.

Had an Azazel run practically handing me The Forgotten on a silver platter.

First treasure room, literally Holy Mantle. Literally the item that saves me from being murdered by all the stomping(My dodging skills leave much to be desired). Also got the Host hat but oops, apparently that doesn't make you immune to the feet in Repentance... Sacred Heart from a Angel Room and in the boss rush Tech X so I wouldn't have to risk getting up close anymore. Tore though everything, and even got to check off Mega Satan(Dad's Key in Dark Room? Don't mind if I do)!

Working on trying to fight the Repentance endbosses. Had a potential run going there but Curse of the Unknown and I didn't know how much hp I had so I absentmindedly went to Depths 2. Then again with 3 max health and just "alright" damage I was probably going to die anyway. >_>

Just did an Eden run starting with Binge Eater, one of the most absurd runs I've ever had. I definitely understand why this is a secret room only item.

For those who have yet to encounter it, it gives you permanent boosts for food items in addition to the HP increase; it also makes every pedestal flip between its usual item and a food item. I found a library with four books along the way - I took the Satanic Bible and then three extra food items. So, I had a constant cycle of new health items and devil room items in place of boss room items. The devil room items also flip, meaning a free stat boost if you don't like the actual item. By the end, I had something like 11 health, 20 attack, max speed and fire rate, 13 luck (though I don't think any of my items were effected by luck). To top it off, I entered the Mother fight with a Sun card - not that I needed it.

on the previous page are some strategies to reduce the frustration of that one considerably. They'll probably be patched out so if you want to take advantage, do it now

I haven't been cheating with Greedier Mode like I said I would, I keep getting lucky with The Eraser, which can make Ultra Greed really easy. If you get those mini-Greed heads to appear on a previous floor (they seem to frequently appear in The Chest), erase them, and then erase whatever your least favorite coin is in the Ultra Greed fight, it becomes a lot easier.

I finally managed to find my way to the final level and fight Dogma. I love the concept of that boss, and it really is a fitting endboss. Unfortunately I died to, Ultra War so no true ending for me yet. At least I unlocked Tainted Isaac. I'll have to give that a try later.

Sometimes you just have to take out Old Reliable.

Maggy was the first character to clear those end bosses for me in Wrath of the Lamb, and I just beat the final boss of Repentance with her today. Hard carried by Sulfur. Amusingly, My Reflection(Whee, curse of the blind on Ascent...) actually helped.

I keep screwing up attempts to face Mother with easy characters purely because I don't have two bombs at the end of Dross 2

You still have Caves 2 to get some bombs. I never go to Mines 1 unless I really need the two items for Jacob and Esau. The difficulty really isn't worth the literally nothing you get for not skipping it.

Got my first clear with Tainted Jacob, after a first floor shop with eraser and mod spider (exploded easu in the shop for the money, easy donation machine robbing). That made erasing easu super easy floor 2, sadly no delirium fought only Mega Satan, but golden trinkets are good stuff.
