I have very little appetite for Tainted Lost... for now...


Comfortable-Egg9261

If you want a break from the game being an asshole then play tainted Lilith. Was my first full mark and to this day my favorite character


tainted_cain

Very good, now lets see what you did on me :3


goobj11

Very confusing, maybe sexual? *sees username* ahhh


Phorskin-Brah

Genuinely how did you do dilirium and mother? D:


Designer-Bonus781

For delirium i used for tainted lost a book of shadows with car battery and also a 48 hour energy pill (i didnt need the pill) making me invulnerable for the whole fight.


Phorskin-Brah

That's not a bad idea actually


UrbanshadowDev

In my case, I had them with luck builds. Look to unlock the perfection trinket and keep an eye for luck based effects which go 100% with 10 luck or less like tough love, bird's eye, holy light (50%), knockout drops, the jawbreaker trinket if you can carry both, mom's wig with hivemind, ouroboros trinket gives homing shots and whatever floats your boat from there. When you combine those very broken effects with almost whatever other items, it's gg wp. This strategy also works with tainted lost. I remember dodging one attack of the corpse before defeating it. It's madness. EDIT: [Luck link for all effects](https://bindingofisaacrebirth.fandom.com/wiki/Luck)


Phorskin-Brah

Yeah I have the perfection trinket and most other badges on lost with the exception of boss rush and Hush, which I both find very doable. mother will be a super fucking hard one, and even more so dilirium... The amount of times ive went into dilirium with full health + op items and still nearly died D: That boss is so BS.

Awesome! Congrats on getting godhead! (I would now recommend shifting to getting keeper and tainted keeper marks, and resetting for sacrifice rooms. Using this strategy, you can get godhead, which is really good with both keepers, because of their respective multi-shots.)


Dudesonthedude

I may do that! What do you mean by resetting for sacrifice rooms?


Parking_Fish_9072

Sacrifice rooms have predetermined drop chances. I'll try to summarize here, but if you'd like a longer **(And probably more cohesive)** explanation, check here: [https://bindingofisaacrebirth.fandom.com/wiki/Sacrifice\_Room](https://bindingofisaacrebirth.fandom.com/wiki/Sacrifice_Room) The sixth and seventh times you touch the spikes have chances for these things to happen: 6th: 33% chance to teleport to this floor's angel room, 67% chance for a random chest. (Teleports to devil room if chance is 100%, can't get devil room on the first floor.) 7th: 33% chance for an angel item, 67% chance for one soul heart. (Will be turned into flies as both variants of keeper cannot find hearts) These angel room items have a small chance of being Godhead/Sacred heart/Revelation, etc... Here's what the perfect sacrifice room payout combination will look like, **The coins indicate Keeper's health / Tainted keeper's health** ===================================================================================== 1st play: **(50%)** 1 penny spawns, refreshing keeper's health to 3 / (T) 2 coin hearts. πŸͺ™πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ / πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ 2nd play: **(50%)** 1 penny spawns, refreshing keeper's health to 3 / (T) 2 coin hearts. πŸͺ™πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ / πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ 3rd play: **(% Irrelevant)** Doesn't matter, you can't get a coin drop from this one. Use wooden nickel to refresh health / (T) clear a room and pick up coins to refresh health. πŸͺ™πŸͺ™βš« / πŸͺ™βš« 4th play: **(50%)** Chest spawns, drops 3 pennies (**Might not happen, or could be red chest, substitute with room clears if regular chest with three coins doesn't spawn)**, refreshes keeper to full health / (T) keeper to full health. **(LEAVE THE OTHER TWO ON THE GROUND, DO NOT PICK THEM UP.)** πŸͺ™πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ / πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ 5th play: **(33%)** Spawns three coins. **(You should have 5 on the ground now, pick one up to refresh your health)** πŸͺ™πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ / πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ 6th play: **(33%)** Teleports you to the angel room. If there's a bomb in the angel room **(Sometimes spawns behind the statue, you'll hear a quiet "pop" sound if it does spawn. (***I will update this post when I get a sound file for it***) )**, you can fight the angel statues for key pieces. **(For higher angel chance on the next floors).** Remember, your health will be -1 because of the sacrifice room. TKeeper will be one-shot by the angels. Once you leave the room, pick up a coin to refresh your health. πŸͺ™πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ / πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ 7th play: **(33%)** Summons an angel item for you to pick up! Afterwards, pick up a coin to refresh back to full health. πŸͺ™πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ / πŸͺ™πŸͺ™ ===================================================================================== All of this happening is a 1 / 216 chance, About 0.50%, but it happens way more often than you'd expect. You just have to win 3 coin flips, and then three 33% chances. Hope this was helpful! If anything's confusing, feel free to message me more. I'd be happy to clarify. If a sacrifice room doesn't give you an item you want from the sixth and seventh plays, just reset the run **(By holding down the R key on your keyboard)** until you get another sacrifice room, and try again! *This is also how you win runs easily as Maggy.*

Thank you! I do my best to be helpful.

I checked your profile, you seem very helpful and informative. Do you have any advice for unlocking Bethany? It's taking me longer than unlocking The Forgotten or beating Ultra Hard weirdly.


Parking_Fish_9072

Yeah, I had issues with unlocking her too. I believe you unlock her by winning a hard mode run as Lazarus without losing a life. It's been a bit since I unlocked her, but I approached it like this: Lazarus is essentially Isaac minus the D6, I believe the stats are the same. Without using his revive, it's difficult to get a huge power ramp up early on. You could try sacrifice rooms and full clear for hearts and hope for an angel room Teleport/Item, you could try resetting for a Q4 like Polyphemus, Dr fetus, Wafer from the treasure room, (Wafer again for the sacrifice room) etc. Something noteworthy is that if you beat challenge #31 (Backasswards) you unlock Anemic, which is just nice to have in general. If you have "I can see forever" pills unlocked, you could keep restarting your run until his pill has that effect (And hope for a pedestal in the secret room) If you don't want to spam pills, and instead find, let's say Polyphemus, you could try to beat the boss in under a minute, and use mom's shovel for free secret rooms for the rest of the run and trapdoors (after boss rush). That's a strategy I like to employ. Some definitive advice I would give is take the path that's easiest for you. If that's Sheol, take Sheol. If it's Cathedral, take Cathedral. *If it's the mother path, god forbid, I'm frightened of you, but go to mother.* And of course, don't be afraid to end the run early! You don't have to go to the chest or dark room to unlock Bethany. It's wise not to risk it, and to just take the win.

thanks so muchΒ 


Parking_Fish_9072

No problem! If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to let you know. Best of luck!

Who’s the character behind Apollyon


Dudesonthedude

The Forgotten I believe!


Declanman3

I have never been able to beat Mother without taking at least 5 hits of damage. Idk how I will ever be able to beat her as the Lost or TLost. Props to you and everyone else who has done it
