Nothing special, it shoots the tears you would have if you weren't playing the Forgotten.

When playing as T. Azazel, it shoots the same fat short-ranged Brimstone that it would when you are normal Azazel.

Psy fly or lost contact.


Edmund can go gently caress himself for Tainted Lost. That Mother run is nearly loving impossible.

A certain wisp spits out bombs/troll bombs sometimes, and I don't know exactly which, because I only ever see it when I have a mess of 20+ random wisps.

The Book of Sin has a chance to spawn Anarchist's Cookbook wisps, and those drop troll bombs when they die.

One thing I liked in Enter the Gungeon was how once you unlocked a new gun or item it was pretty much guaranteed to appear in the next run you did. I've had four items left to pick up since I unlocked everything two months ago and they will. Not. loving. Appear. It's so obnoxious.

I take it Death Certificate is super rare. It certainly looks like that item is supposed to remedy this.

That's one of em. Also Berserk, C-Section(I know you can get this with DC somehow or spindown dice), Echo Chamber. I guess what I could do is just restart games with Isaac and look for a secret room on the first floor with an item and reroll it till it goes my way.

i mean c-section straight up doesn’t spawn normally so you need to either use spin down dice on lil abbadon, craft it as tainted cain, or death certificate it

Yeah I'm trying but it's not working. Jacob and Essau are still kicking my rear end. I had a run where my first item was psy fly and I scored goat head soon after but I still couldn't even make it to hush as it never gave me any dps upgrades after that. Two runs later I have polyphemus & death's touch stacked on jacob but wasn't able to get any health or defensive items so while I was able to reach Hush with plenty of time to spare I couldn't last once he got extra bullet-helly.

Using mom's box/fortune tellers to find this is an alternative to rushing through the game in 30 minutes. You have plenty of time to do the alt path, explore every room & secret room and get lots of items on both characters.

Goddammit tainted Eden sucks rear end

There are so few meaningful choices to make except "try not to get hit"

Only thing I can think of is to maximize items to have a bigger chance of rolling into good stuff, and dip as much as possible into good item pools, like angel and planetarium

One other thing that may help: Avoid devil and curse room items, especially curse room items. Those items may re-roll into 9 Lives, which will take away all but one red heart, and then the extra lives disappear next time you get hit.

Finally just got the Mega Satan kill with Jacob & Essau and the game graced me with its kind spirit by spawning a Delirium portal. Knocked that out as well. All that I have left now is Greedier and I'll have all the notepads for the normal characters filled out.

How much worse are the tainted characters? J&E have been aggravating as hell but I don't think they were as bad as the keeper or the lost. How much worse is this going to be?

Tainted J&E is like doing a challenge it's such a weird gimmick.

I actually love playing Tained Lost and Tained Keeper. The runs are often unsuccessful because of how fragile they are, but you wind up doing so much crazy poo poo. I got the post-it filled out for both well before most of the other tainted characters just because I wanted to play them so much.

Depends. Most are challenging in unique ways, some are nightmarish and you should probably wait for a balance patch.

Had two brutal losses with Tainted Maggie. Lost a brimstone knife run to pressing Q for yum heart heal like a microsecond too late. Lost a psy fly run on Delirium after I picked up a Sun card from a broken pot and could have healed for like 9 hearts but got stomped by mom's foot the split second after I realized what I'd picked up.

Took tainted jacob down to Mother with Dr. Fetus, bomberman and cricket's body and some damage ups. Had the item that lets you dive directly the boss on each floor.

Get to phase 2, Esau shows up, dies like a bitch in 5 seconds, game decides that a bullet should get through all the explosions and kill me even though I couldn't see it.
