I nearly reset the greatest trinket - Tainted Lost No Items

[@thefourhorsemen4771]

The giant and small champions rewrite the pill pool. In this case, that giant champion singlehandedly forbid you from getting any more tears ups.

[@thisrandomchannel1321]

what? why do they do that?

[@spencerfair7505]

@@thisrandomchannel1321They’re hardcoded to drop “one makes you larger” and “one makes you small” pills. There are only so many types of pill that can be spawned in a single run, and those two aren’t always included. If that is the case, the champion drop pill replaces one of the pill types in play with itself. This stops the one it supplanted from ever showing up again in the run.

[@cordeliafrey9950]

playing out of your mind in some of those womb rooms, incredible.

[@_goblinosmosis]

Thank you. I was really trying to get this run to the end game.

[@kambot7635]

29:20 That hidden fly near the red chest gave me a heart attack.

[@SoulYard7]

It was actually a spider. Two spawned when he opened that chest. Thanks to the size down pills he barely avoided it, and it seems like he didn't even notice it's existence

29:19 insane accidental dodge

[@ximirux2408]

You are so dedicated to this, i respect that! :T

[@charmaci]

a few days ago i played a tainted lost run and found a golden pill in the first room which activeted vurp three times, in total i had 4 golden pillls. i was so tiny and had 3 pretty flies, i wasn't playing itemless but i kinda wished yot a start like that ...also i still died that run because of running into spiked objects accidentally

[@_goblinosmosis]

I’ve had Vurp Gold Pill before! But I died on the next floor…

[@kamikazeoof6664]

15:39 it dropped a size up pill cause its a 'size up' champion, this can happen with 'size down' champs too. 20:45 the brimstone starts as either big one in the middle or 2 brims left and right, to dodge them, i advise you to stand in diagonal to his face, far enough from the middle to not get hit by the big one and not too close to the walls that the quad brims hits you. Into run analysis: good plays overall, as usual, really liked that key beggar play even though it was a gamble. Other thoughts: peeking the mom fight is kinda counterproductive if you think about it, you use a teleport card to see the fight and get 1 of three answers: you will use a combat card, will not use a combat card or will use a combat card. Its basiczlly as good to peek as it is not to peek because you would have went in there knowing what pickup was best to bring in anyway. Also i thought a bit about it and using pause buffers to help when in dangerous situations may help: 22:09 being an example of that. 33:56 could also have exited the run to get rid of the tears (because of room completion, the room would have stayed clear) Gl with the runs, hope you get that crying child next time

[@_goblinosmosis]

Appreciate the comments as always (spoilers) . . . Interesting. That champion pill drop was weird. Never seen that/noticed it before. I always try for that ‘sweet spot’ dodge on reap creep, same goes for krampus’ brims, it’s probably the most optimised way to deal with both. I only mentioned the mom peek play because I was debating taking Sun to W1. A red mom in this instance would’ve persuaded me to take sun past the fight… as it played out, Hermit bailed me from death and I was rewarded for the Key Beggar risk - good RNG. I’m kinda against combat pause buffering. I use it for rerolls, but buffering combat like that feels cheaty/expolitative. But if I played with it then that would’ve been the correct solve in those scenarios you mention.

[@kamikazeoof6664]

@_goblinosmosis i do also feel like using pause buffering is a bit cheap. However, i also feel like the end justifies the means. It's totally fair to not want to use it, I was only suggesting to use that to have a slightly better chance at getting to isaac.

[@ratratratratratratratratra8808]

Really enjoying this series so far

[@Poyal]

Another beautiful run ☀️

[@EvilCuteKitteh]

btw, i've noticed in my experience with reap creep that the specific brimstone it does is projected by the sound it makes, the more outwards, breathy noise is the regular forwards brim, while the more inwards, (kinda of like gurgle-esq?) one is the split/multi brim if that explanation doesnt rly help, you can just use the footage of your reap creep battle to associate the sounds with the different brims!

[@_goblinosmosis]

Good knowledge, I like that a lot. I actually don’t listen to in game audio when I play, so was unaware. I always thought it was the markings on reap creep that indicates the attacks… I don’t know though, so I position myself just off centre when there’s an attack visual cue and dodge into space that would avoid either brim. Super tough boss.

[@EvilCuteKitteh]

@_goblinosmosis ohhh yeah that makes sense, the no sound hiding that detail, hopefully itll help you in the future, maybe by turning up the sound for that fight just for that extra nudge for dodging, love the runs btw! you actually taught me something new here too, about seeing a mini-boss guaranteeing no greed fights on the current floor! had no idea that was a thing, really shows just how in depth this game is (why i love playing it)

[@Grave_Digger-thegreatest]

Binge watcher of the series here

[@zealouswiz8789]

Reap Creep phases 1 & 2 you probably shouldn't waste bombs on, it's phase 3 that is the very dangerous one What I like to do for phase 3 is stand just outside the middle brimstone range and react to the sound cue and charge time for which one it's gonna use The diagonal brimstones take longer to charge and play a unique sound cue to indicate get in front of Reap Creep Great run though! Unfortunate room at the end

[@rowan4327]

IMO you should allow for the trapdoor skips. While it might affect the META, most runs don't reach META status. I think it would be interesting to see Ehwaz plays, and I feel like it would just increase the diversity of the different runs that are viable, which I think can be interesting for viewers. Great video as usual.

[@_goblinosmosis]

I can see that. My intentions when I started this were to do it in a full run, by beating each key boss. The Mom fight in itself has become so important to plan for, that I think removing the rule may limit strategy - instead, changing the meta to reset for Ehwaz for the best chances of winning which actually might not be that diverse. It is a shame that it came up in this run in particular, which just so happened to be one of the better builds.

[@rowan4327]

@_goblinosmosis oh I see, you're saying you'd just reset for Ehwaz on the first floor? I can see why you'd want to avoid that.

[@jojowasukranian8131]

One day we will get a tooth trinket + gulp perfection, trust

[@tonibadilm]

I love watching this series in class will you do satan after isaac is done?

[@supremechaosbeing2696]

I believe this is one of your best runs yet, RNG and skill-wise. absolutely amazing job on some of those rooms Now that the Ehwaz rule has come up, I've been wondering what your take is on Inverted Devil. it has the effect of the bible so it works equally well on Mom and It Lives. I think the Ehwaz rule could use some rewording for that 29:18 look at that. you almost died to that spider. you left one spider alive from the red chest earlier and somehow the size down let you brush amongst the spider's pedipalps. if there is a god they wanted you to take this run further

[@_goblinosmosis]

Interesting, I’d probably allow reverse Devil. I’ve use it before for Seraphim but not for its Bible effect. Maybe the Ehwaz rule doesn’t suit this series anymore. This might be the first time it’s came up in a run. Maybe it should say something like: no Ehwaz skips to Sheol 34:36 (I noticed after editing the video, had no idea when playing lmao)

[@markusnixon3156]

This suggestion may be a bit easier then the challenges that you normally do, but would you do a run on Greedier/Greed mode only taking "greedy" items, things like Midas Touch or Portable Slot Machine?

[@Grave_Digger-thegreatest]

Try checking treasure rooms because if you find the treasure room with no item but instead pick ups trinkets and a chest it could help you massively

[@_goblinosmosis]

I’m back to checking Item Rooms. Planetariums were too unreliable.

[@Grave_Digger-thegreatest]

@_goblinosmosis what if you were tryna grind idk j&e and you got nothing good but when you tried t lost again you got tech x Spin down dice and other q4's in the treasure room next run Pain would be inmense Also if you get a soul of Lilith and get twisted pair or Incubus tag me (Idk if soul of Lilith is allowed)

[@CaramelAshe]

Maybe I'm crazy but hear me out for a second. If a run isn't going well at the end of floor 2, is it better to take the alt path? It makes floor 3 incredibly difficult but gives you essentially an extra floor you can play through for items. You also have another chance at the shop with a reroll machine, and you don't have to fight the boss at the end of the mirror floor.

[@_goblinosmosis]

This actually features in some upcoming recorded runs I have! potentially a good strat.

[@l9m241]

I really feel like some of the plays of alt path would be good. Downpour has the mirror world and that opens up more payout chances with the extra difficulty.
