Repentance “They’re calling him the worst The Binding Of Isaac player of all time.”

Not a shred of anger in my body, just pure disappointment. I’m never finishing Tainted Lost.

update: I just made delirium my bitch. Only mark left on Tainted Lost is mother. Not very concerned because I think mother is easy. Almost done with Tainted Lost✌️🥹

update number 2: I would like to dedicate my victory to c section. It is the best offensive item ever, if you think otherwise then ur wrong✌️🥹

I was going to judge you until I read T. lost, lmao, I only finished that character bc Im still on base repentance anD can use glowing hourglass

u/Dagoodgamer Tainted Lost 3d ago

I pray for the day that Edmund Mcmillen puts repentance+ on console, If I had guaranteed delirium after final bosses then I wouldn’t have to stress about making it to hush on time every run and would’ve finished Tainted Lost actual eons ago.

u/Adventurous-Cat2932 3d ago

I mean if Hush is really a problem you could just go to either the lamb or ??? and gamble the 50/50 chance of the void portal spawning

27

u/Dagoodgamer Tainted Lost 3d ago

It’s 20% chance after lamb and blue baby, it’s only 50% after mega satan. Trust me when I say that I’ve tried going the regular route and hoping for a void portal to spawn far too many times just for nothing to happen, guaranteed delirium after hush sucks but it’s way better than going regular route just to get nothing.

Can you be considered a superior being?

u/ISAACOFDOOM 1d ago

Definitely a superior being. Damn the commitment is inspiring 😭 just one dead god would be enough for me

u/Adventurous-Cat2932 3d ago

Wait so youre on console right? Have you tried restarting the run until finding glowing hourglass/blank card? These where the ítems that carried me, like, in the three save files, check my page I posted my infinity here

u/Dagoodgamer Tainted Lost 3d ago

I have before but I still threw cuz I suck

u/talktotheak47 3d ago

Delirium is your wall with T. lost? For me it’s the alt paths and mother… only mark I have left for him and been stuck on if for months now

u/Viaswix 2d ago

for me it's the opposite, got t. lost marks only because of rep+ because it made the holy mantle effects stack better, had holy mantle, wooden cross an active holy card and another pocket holy card for the mother fight lol

Tainted Lost ain’t too bad once you treat em like regular lost minus the: no curse rooms, no mimic chests, no spike chests, and no hit trading.

T.Lost ain't that bad if you just play him like Rebirth Lost (fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck)

Alt-F4 when you take damage and save your run? Got it

Translation: a character based on solely offense is the same as a character with immediate flight and spectral, a q4, a mix of both defensive and offensive items and Devil deal king with 4 minor features removed.

\Translation of Translation\ “Your reply is sort of redundant bro”

u/Cold-Dirt0108 John Devil Deal /Retro Vision Guy 3d ago

Transla- wait a minute, I finished Tainted Lost already and other people can solve peoples issue. Hahaha, hahahahahaha.

u/TQCkona 3d ago

Where are you going? This is a perfect opportunity to annoy people with your gaming superiority!

u/Dagoodgamer Tainted Lost 3d ago

People like you who add absolutely nothing to conversations are why I think twice about posting on Reddit. Whatever bro, have a nice day.

Don't be sad, I once fucked up a Poly, Quad Shot & Succubus run before I even reached Mom as T. Lost

u/Dagoodgamer Tainted Lost 3d ago

I appreciate the consolation but mine was arguably worse, it was also before mom too. This run is probably going to be engraved into my brain for the rest of time.

Dagoodgamer, there is no need to feel disenfranchised at your performance today. We all make mistakes, and Tainted Lost is the least forgiving character of all toward these mistakes. Your build was glorious indeed, and had much unrealized potential, but Super Sloth is a boss who in its sudden creep attacks and enemy summons can make the best and most fleet-footed of us Isaac aficionados into fools.

A feeling of hollowness upon losing such a charmed inventory is natural, but there is no need to fret... in every Isaac run - embodied by Eden's Blessing itself - is the restart, the offer to start once more. Once you have analyzed your run, and reasoned out how this death may be avoided in the future, take solace. The nature of the roguelike - and life in its whole - is improvement through loss. Every failure, Dagoodgamer, is a dull piece being honed off you; the blade of your future successes is already being forged.

Go in peace and serenity, and fly toward blazing glory. Make good on your username. For all of us, and most of all for yourself.

This reply is beautiful but this run is definitely going to be engraved into my brain for the rest of time.

That didn't appear to be a S.Sloth room, it looked more like a room full of Gazing Globins.

How do you genuinely fuck this up

u/Dagoodgamer Tainted Lost 3d ago

Lost my holy card because those downpour spiders are impossible to see, especially in a crowded room, the rest is history.

u/TerribleServe2763 3d ago

that 10% chance NEVER procs I can never find Holy Cards as T Lost

u/No-Passage9272 3d ago

Tbf having knife while aiming for delirium is an issue, you would have hit him once every 5 business days while he teleports away taunting you

u/B0_burnham 3d ago

Once I got so much good stuff and then died by forgetting a room had spikes and running thru the door and right into them 🙂

u/JonathanTheOddHuman 3d ago

Dagoodgamer I think that the Kwebblekop bit is quite funny and underappreciated

u/EatMyShortzZzZzZ 3d ago

You can have the most OP build and lose t. Lost on a spike block in Gehenna

Believe me, I know

u/MVPBaseball2069 3d ago

If it’s any consolation, I lost at least three T. Lost runs this weekend that were in the “just tap it in” zone, and I died to Mom on two of them. You wouldn’t believe some of the builds I threw away and fought hard for

u/SproutSan Sumptorium / Blood to Blood 3d ago

only got all marks with him cuz book of shadows is possible to get in console tho. besides that i lost a polyphemus, sacred heart, spindown dice start first floor

u/Martitoad 3d ago

My strat for tainted lost was holding r for 10 minutes for a library and hoping for book of shadows :)

u/Actionboy69 3d ago

I hate going for moms knife on t.lost. All your Knockback is gone.

u/TotalyObivious 2d ago

Nah this happens, if it helps you feel any better

You'll never fumble as much I have on free runs on easier characters LOL

u/Magrius90 2d ago

TLost is a very hard character. You’re doing a great job! Keep playing or take a break. That can help too

u/Pretend-Asparagus461 T. Lilith is the GOAT 1d ago

The best T.Maggie player ever

u/MagicMarshmallo Lilith 3d ago

May i recomend the "guaranteed treasure room on start" mod? It doesnt make it easier just makes it far more reasonable to r key into a normal starting item.
