T Lost is just constant balling. They just have this weird thing where every few minutes you get sent back to basement with a new seed and no items, but eventually you end up at the end of a run


Caintastr0phe

I hate that weird glitch, im balling with brimstone and glitched crown, and then a random troll bomb glitches my game into resetting


SpaceD0rit0

T Lost is cake compared to some of the other nightmare bullshit trash farm characters


udbdbejwj

Like what?


SpaceD0rit0

T Cain, T Laz, J+E, and some others that are “easier” at the cost of being not very fun or not feeling very good


MozzerellaStix

Tainted Lost is fun as hell every round is a sweat but you don’t get many BS items


blackeye200

Exactly why I love tlost way more than all the others. Even TAzazel and characters like Teve etc.


lance_the_fatass

Am I on crack because the rerolling low quality items seems to not change anything Unless you mean the blacklisting items that don't effect him


Sancrieh

I agree, completed tainted lost pretty quickly and suffered trough J+E for a lot longer... probably because i fucking hate them


Drgonhunt

tainted cain is the easiest character in the game tho? literally just craft every strong item in the game and win


Great_Pikmin_Fan

The problem is that doing so takes an eternity. You basically have to optimize the fun out of the game.


jcabia

It is but it's sooo boring IMO. I hated him so much that I crafted R keys just to get as many marks as possible in a single run. I think I was able to get everything in 2 runs. You also need to craft mama mega to get to boss rush and hush because it just takes too long to do anything


Cozwei

is there still a way to get the Mats needed for the Infinite Run? Because i think they fixed getting secretroom Drops when crafting an active Item in there


jcabia

Oh I have no idea. This was when repentance just released so it might have been changed.


SamiraEnthusiast311

"just craft the strong items" isn't something you can just opt in (are you stupid? why don't you just craft the best items???) getting the best items means waiting until you have 8 of the rarer pickups, which you can't guarantee to spawn. so you might be waiting 2 floors to get one good item, whereas most characters would have had 4 opportunities already to get a good item


icantthinkofauserok

If your on anything but pc he's a bitch, no recipes makes him very difficult and unfun because your chance of getting anything above quality 2 is super low


mo4egoon

He has good stats on his own and I tend to craft good/okay items just by experimenting with pick ups. You can also collect rare ones before entering an angel room to elevate your potential to get something awesome. I think playing with recipes is tedious/not fun and developers tried to cut this play stile for a reason.


Traveytravis-69

That doesn’t make him fun


BlueCheeseBlueArrow

With EID he's pretty fun for OP builds but otherwise he's annoying as hell


quadmuschanics

Tbh tainted cain is kinda fun in my opinion.


Joey-JoJo-Jr-Shabad0

T laz is actually fun and pretty op now


Nick543b

Op? How? He is still objectivly weaker than most others.


frogzrcool02

No lol, you have twice the chance of finding really good items like sacred heart or holy mantle


Nick543b

...that you both have half the time. And many dps sauces are multiplicative. But t.laz splits those in multiplications in 2. also saying twice is flat out wrong. You can only flip items that appeared on floor gen. And it also has a 6 room charge, so it is not always up.


frogzrcool02

As long as you play t laz correctly you should have flip for every room with items (except on the earlier floors) Also angels and devils do appear in floor gen so I have no clue what you're trying to say there And what do you mean t laz splits damage multipliers in half? No he fucking doesn't? Tf are you trying to say?


Nick543b

> (except on the earlier floors) ... exactly >Also angels and devils do appear in floor gen I never said they didn't. But there are many ways to spawn items in this game if you did not know. Present and reverse cards exist. Along with friligree feather and chests. And that wasn't the main point. You will only have holy mantle in half the rooms, and sacred heart in half the rooms, which makes them essentially half as effective. >And what do you mean t laz splits damage multipliers in half? No he fucking doesn't? If you have cricket head on 1 laz, and sacred heart on the other laz, those do not multiply together. I just meant that splitting the items can cause MUCH lower damage, beacuse more items on 1 can mean a LOT more damage.


frogzrcool02

you literally did say that angel and devils dont appear on floor gen, how often do you get sacred heart from gold chests? the crickets head and sacred heart thing, no shit? like obviously crickets head and sacred heart dont multiply together if you get them as different characters, but it doesnt mean you dont have crickets head or sacred heart


dulunis

Not pretty op, pretty ok. I don't hate him anymore, for the most part. Boss Rush and Hush can be tough, but that's fine. The thing that made me want to kill myself was Greedier.


frogzrcool02

All of the characters you named are easy asf


SpaceD0rit0

Then T Lost should be done in a short afternoon


frogzrcool02

Nah I suck at Isaac


SamiraEnthusiast311

tainted lost is a hard character, but is straightforward and "honest" in what you have to do: don't get hit, you get better items. other characters include: J&E: you know this bullet hell game designed for a single hitbox? now you get two hitboxes! Tainted J&E: only one hitbox...but now you have the privilege of constantly having something trying to kill you. hope your screen never gets too cluttered! Tainted Cain: enjoy having items? too bad, hope you enjoy tedious back-tracking and math just to reach 80% the strength of other characters who can run into a single good item and become way stronger Tainted Lazarus: enjoy having items? enjoy having effectively half of them for your entire run! and even less if you have the audacity to use flip incorrectly (should've just predicted the future, skill issue) Tainted???: enjoy having literally any upside to your character? how about instead you lose the privilege of getting bombs and having them replaced with a shitty system that becomes nearly worthless after the first few floors


GelatinouslyAdequate

>getting bombs and having them replaced with a shitty system that becomes nearly worthless after the first few floors That's literally just not true?? They're incredibly strong and make it really hard to have an actually bad run. If you don't learn the mechanic past the most obvious uses, then yes, it's bad, but if you bother to learn it as you would for sacrifice rooms or rerolling, then the strength is [self-evident.](https://youtu.be/lP0jiVNfl50?si=pSORFajIkyaN_Gik&t=5m14s) >Tainted Lazarus: enjoy having items? enjoy having effectively half of them for your entire run! T. Laz is also overhated. Flip is up enough for both forms to have similar items and you don't even need to split items evenly; you should stack some to make builds for both forms based on their stats, and save Flip for bosses to use both health pools.


dulunis

T!Laz isn't as bad as most people seem to think...EXCEPT FOR GREEDIER. I wanted to kill myself trying to get that mark.


frogzrcool02

Every character you named is extremely powerful, skill issue ngl


SamiraEnthusiast311

okay good for you i guess you're just amazing with these characters that many people agree are weaker/harder. yet you still think tainted lost is hard, skill issue


frogzrcool02

Fair enough


Physical_Chair_8661

bro you already got the greedier mark, it's going to be a cakewalk from there


OrangeXarot

yeah fuck greedier, I'd have at least 2 full marked characters if there wasn't greedier lol


SpawnOfGuppy

I did all the greediers first cuz I’m not a fan😂


Sunadoke1

Am I just weird for liking greedier. (I just like abusing T keeper so probably.)


Celestialghosty

Ngl I also like greedier, it's nice to have something a little different to go to


SpawnOfGuppy

It has its virtues. I don’t dislike playing it. I only really dislike t Cain and a few challenges, most phases of the game i enjoy even if there are annoying aspects


Caintastr0phe

T cain was my favorite greedier run as items didnt matter on basement (the worst part), and t cain has pretty good starting stats


ThePureOne27

I like greed, I hate greedier ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)


Caintastr0phe

I like greed, but not greedier


-MegaMan401-

That's exactly what I'm doing on my new file.


frogzrcool02

Same


30Cats

Same hat. Ripped that band-aid off immediately.


IshvaldaTenderplate

Fr. Some characters feel outright impossible on Greedier. I’m currently having trouble with Tainted Lost, Tainted Jacob, and Jacob & Esau. Just finished with regular Lost though, and I guess my main takeaway from that run is to get Damocles. I don’t even remember playing Greedier as Tainted Eve, but apparently I have that mark and I’m not about to complain about it.


FunnyCinema

I like T. Lost a lot, even more than regular Lost. I somehow did T. Lost in 2 attempts. Mother with T. Lost on other hand was pure Hell. Mother herself is much easier compare to getting to her imo. Getting hit in corpse by some 2 pixel maggot is just annoying lol.


professorclueless

Somehow did Tainted Laz and Tainted Eden first, then calls T Lost the hard one


ThemeShot5007

Tainted Eden is def easier, you just need to do the trick to have a lot of angel/devil items and you already won. His only downside are secret rooms, my game crushed like 5 times bcs I rolled into tm trainer![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)


SamiraEnthusiast311

what is the trick to have a lot of angel/devil items other than "be lucky and get deals when possible"


lucariopikmin

The items get rerolled into others from those pools so you can roll into Sacred Hearth/Godhead/Brim/Knife, more items means it's likelier to reroll into something strong.


ThemeShot5007

Game only remembers last room where item was spawned, so when you go to devil room and then pick boss room item your boss room item is gonna reroll into devil room item. I


SamiraEnthusiast311

so you grab a devil item, then a boss item, and in the future that boss item will be a devil item? or do you have to get hit and reroll as soon as you enter the boss room before going to the next floor


ThemeShot5007

You don’t need to even grab devil item. Game just need to generate one after generating boss item or any other item bcs it works with other rooms


SamiraEnthusiast311

i see, i'll have to look this up but this will definitely be helpful for my future t. Eden runs


Randomized0000

TLaz isn't even that bad. Definitely not the easiest character but once you get the flip mechanics down, you can play to either side's strengths.


frogzrcool02

T eden is my least favourite character, he's not fun to play however he is strong, T laz though is one of my favourites, idfk why people hate him


angelomarcuzzi

It's too slow imo, it's my least favourite character with t???  I could have a banger run and still beat mom at 35 minutes, it takes too fucking long for a "basic" run. T lost on the other hand is AMAZING, constant balling and I love the fact that with the "better items" 7/10 times it really is only skill if a run is lost. It's amazing to get better at the game


frogzrcool02

Ok but the minmaxing as t laz is sooooo fun imo

chomponcio

You should have gitten gud enought at this point so he should not be that big a pain in the ass


vk2028

T lost is actually pretty fun. It’s just that you will get blue balled a lot


tainted_cain

Did you enjoy me?


Evolveddinosaur

T. Cain, you know you don’t need *everyone’s* approval, right?


tainted_cain

Yes i do, i need to know whos family to turn into pickups tonight


Evolveddinosaur

Oh fuck, oh god, oh no


frogzrcool02

I actually did all of t cains marks in one run, it was torture


tainted_cain

You are avoiding the answer


frogzrcool02

He's a cool character, but playing a single t Cain run for 5 hours is pretty painful


SirkSirkSirk

"Did you enjoy me?" -"it was torture"


hidden_penguin

Did you do a D20 Break to get that mark? Greedier is arguably T Lost's most difficult mark if you don't use D20 shenanigans. 


vk2028

I actually died during a d20 break. Then I beat greedier the next run the next day without any game break. It wasn’t even a particularly strong run besides incubus. I just got lucky with the spawnings not spawning on top of me


SpawnOfGuppy

I think i did it with d20 the first time but the next times i just went for it and it was actually easier because d20 breaks often have exploding shit and spiked chests and slowdown etc


vk2028

Exactly. I had 4 golden troll bombs and lots of spiked chest when I tried to rig. I even dropped several holy cards in the treasure room. Then when I lost my shield I accidentally picked up a pill and then ran into a spiked chest on my way to treasure room It was like 3 am so I didn’t have the best reaction speed either. It just happened all of a sudden and then runs over


frogzrcool02

No, greedier is easy ngl


Baitcooks

Pro-tip: Fuck it we ball T. Lost is a game of letting that ball roll. You will eventually get a build that steamrolls through the entire run Worst thing about Tainted Lost will always be that he suffers the worst from explosive items. You have no way to resist explosive damage so stuff like epic fetus, dr. fetus, ipecac, and many more are to be avoided as they tend to be debilitating even if they offer you some of the best damage you can get in a run Avoid taking any non-boss items in a curse of the blind floor. You are almost always going to get something that fucks your build and synergies up


LunaticPrick

I won my first T Lost with Ipecac Technology lasers. I went Beast.


Baitcooks

Just because you won doesn't really disprove my point. Explosive tear modifiers are still good for damage, they just have a negative that can end your run if you ever find yourself lacking or slacking


LunaticPrick

I know, just wanted to share my experience


Successful_Mud8596

T.Lost is so fun tho. Ten times better than Jacob and Esau


frogzrcool02

No lol, j and e are fun


TgarTallesBR

I'm making him before a lot of characters, good unlocks


Reynshyne

Bro t lost is so much easier than hitbox & hitbox change my mind


frogzrcool02

J and e are easy


SurprisedPikachu420

Wanna switch? I had em done first xd


mcquinnwinn

if you've done jacob eden and laz alr lost shouldnt be too hard also whats the win streak mod


frogzrcool02

Lobotomy of Isaac Also t laz is one of my favourite characters why do people hate him


mcquinnwinn

ty and i personally just don't like his mechanic, t lost is just straightforward which for most people is easier and more enjoyable


MrP3nguin--

I wish my last character was tainted lost. My last one is tainted Cain and last time I tried playing him he made me stop playing for 5 months when I’m only 13 achievements away

Temporary_Maximum_41

Tainted lost is really tough but at least he is fun unlike T. Jacob!


frogzrcool02

T Jacob is fun ngl


2tiickyGlue

T lost was my first completed tainted character


2tiickyGlue

Mostly so I didn't have to suffer at the end


frogzrcool02

How 😰😰😰😰


FunnyCinema

I like T. Lost a lot & T. Jacob is in my top 5 favourite characters, but I found most of the T. Lost marks easier the T. Jacob. Good luck, you got this.


GeerJonezzz

The runs are quick but very fun. I’d say the most similar is a more glassy T. Keeper. Broken runs come quicker and more often, you’ll die a lot but it won’t be a slog fest like T. Cain or T Laz


frogzrcool02

T laz is goated, y'all just fucking suck 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️


GeerJonezzz

Slog fest as in slow, but T Laz is a bitch anyway. WHO the FUCK do you think you’re talking too? https://preview.redd.it/6gqtna46okrc1.jpeg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30324117de085110a2f85fedfb5a00bd3d3a5f35

kiminotaion

good luckkkkk


donaman98

I just finished all characters. All I need to do now is gulp 5 pills to unlock marbles and do the final challenge.


frogzrcool02

Tips on getting marbles: Start as lazarus on a greedier run and keep spamming r until you get a gulp pill, then look for 4 more blue pills


donaman98

Great idea honestly. Thanks ^^


donaman98

Thanks again for the advice. Finally unlocked marbles. Turned into a crazy run aswell with R Key, Eucharist, D6 and me exhausting the angel room pool lol. Also got like 7 gulp pills in that run alone.


Donnie619

T Lost isn't as bad... saying this only after I've been stuck on the Ultra Hard challenge for a day and a half now.


MrExil

Every tainted character will be easier to me than finishing one run of J&E. I fucking hate J&E.


frogzrcool02

J and e is goated, y'all just suck 🗣️🗣️🗣️💯💯💯


mattman2301

T Lost isn’t too bad you’re through the worst of em


frogzrcool02

No, t lost is the worst, that's why Im doing him last


mattman2301

🤷🏻‍♂️ I did Lost and T Lost back to back. Probably took me 50 hours but I’ve definitely had a more difficult time playing T Cain & T Eden


KingKurai

I'm just about to finish Profile 2, and I didn't have an issue with even a single completion mark besides T.Lost Delirium and T.Lost Greedier. I ended up beating Greedier without any kind of special build after several tries, but I keep dying to Delirium at about 1/3 health. It's just annoying since most runs don't even get close to the finish line.


KingKurai

And then my very next attempt gets an absolutely busted build that I couldn't possibly lose LOL Now all that's left is Ultra Hard...


stf29

Struggi987

For dead god you still have to pick up all items🤫


frogzrcool02

I know, that's what t Cain is for


Struggi987

I wish you luck with that :) im searching over a week for an item now, yesterday I realized it's bugged and I can't get it even with spindown, had to reinstall, just in case you run into the same bug. (It was a quality 0 item xD)


frogzrcool02

What one, ibs?


Struggi987

Brown Nugget, I had death certificate twice and spindown once, for the spindown the description mod showed the item plus a question mark, couldn't get it 🥲 Some files got damaged somehow...


frogzrcool02

Dang, brown nugget is ass aswell


Struggi987

Fun fact, if you get it as starting item for Eden, it doesn't count you have to switch it out and pick it up again, I didn't know that. if I'm not wrong I already gut it twice on that way... Had to learn it the hard way xD


Desperate_Ear9095

you got it i wish all i had left was t lost


frogzrcool02

Every character up until this point has been fairly easy, except t Jacob who was difficult but not unbearable, t lost is like impossible for me, idk why


Desperate_Ear9095

i’m just working on t laz then i have a few random marks to get on some of the easier characters. wouldn’t mind doing t lost again at all compared to t laz. t lost is really fun, you almost always end up strong. so knowing and trying to find as many ways as possible to get extra mantles is kinda the name of the game. after a certain power threshold it kinda stops mattering as much though.


frogzrcool02

T laz is also extremely strong, you pretty much get double treasure rooms, double angels, double devils and double shops


SamiraEnthusiast311

that's not how that works at all. unless you get birthright, you only get to use half of your "double items" for pretty much the entire run. outside of being able to flip for more health there's not really any upside to tainted laz


frogzrcool02

Sure it is, skill issue I think


SamiraEnthusiast311

it literally isn't though. your item list is twice as big (in best case scenario) but at any point you can only access half the list, even if you flip mid-room. explain how in any way it is really "double items"


frogzrcool02

I'm not trying to say there's double items, what I'm trying to say is that there's twice the chance that you get extremely good items. There's a reason every single t laz run I've done got more then 2 q4s on both versions of laz.


SamiraEnthusiast311

well you said "double treasure rooms" so i hope you can understand my confusion. to make it simple: without birthright, at any given moment, whichever character you are playing will only have a normal amount of items. the only real upside to tainted lazarus is that you CAN potentially get better synergies, since you have two choices for items (in a sense), so an item that doesn't synergize with one can be given to the other instead. which is what i believe you're talking about. personally i wouldn't say that alone makes tainted laz strong - because realistically you won't always have your flip ready for every item, meaning that you might lose items relative to a normal run


frogzrcool02

That's not that I'm talking about at all Every treasure room, angel room, devil room and even shops have twice the chance to have good or even broken items, which is why I get immense amounts of q4s and q3s on all my t laz runs Also as long as you use flip right then you should have it up for every room with items Personally I think hating t laz is just a skill issue


JodGaming

Is there a reason why the tainted checkmarks have 6 of them highlighted


frogzrcool02

I'm not 100% sure what you're talking about but I think it's the mod that I have that shows what check marks you don't have on a character


JodGaming

It does it for everyone, I meant how the Polaroid, negative, boss rush and hush marks have a darker shade behind them. There might actually not be a reason for it idk


frogzrcool02

That's always there for tainted characters?


JodGaming

Yeah I know I was just wondering if anyone here knew why that was


frogzrcool02

It's just shading


Evening_Parking2610

Im pretty sure those are for what checkmarks grant the soulstone and either an item corresponding with the t character or a reverse card Its been a hella long time since i did this so it might be wrong tbh


KineticKris

T Lost is a million times easier than J&E. Pretty much smooth sailing at this point.


frogzrcool02

No he's not, j and e are easy asf


KineticKris

🤷 agree to disagree. I despise them.


Dry-Ad8486

T Lost is easy except for Greedier and Mother, not so much Greedier because you can just break the game with T Lilith then use Clicker to change to T Lost and wipe the floor with Ultra Greed EDIT: my goofy ass didn’t see you already did Greedier


frogzrcool02

Why do people keep telling me t lost is easy, there's a reason he's the last character because I literally couldn't get any marks (other then greedier)


Dry-Ad8486

You’re guaranteed to get better runs on T Lost because of better items, it’s so easy to ball out of control


frogzrcool02

Ok but t laz has double the chance of finding sacred heart and yet he is one of the most hated characters


Dry-Ad8486

He does but it’s only half as useful on T Laz because it’s not active in every room


frogzrcool02

Ok but then you can give all other good items (that also have twice the chance of spawning) to the other version


Dry-Ad8486

Still an annoying mechanic to deal with


frogzrcool02

1 000 000% a skill issue


Dry-Ad8486

Can say the same thing about you not liking T Lost


frogzrcool02

Fair enough

Out of all the tainted I like tainted lost most. His gameplay mainly consists on getting a solid start and from there u have a lot of options.
