When tainted keeper touched tarnished keeper when saving him, he fell down to the same position as the tarnished one. Does that mean we replaced tarnished keeper with tainted keeper leaving him alone in that room so we can play with the tarnished instead?

[@DefinitelyFroggyDioBrando]

you know how he has Midas's curse? everything he touches turns to gold, even people

[@gardenfantassi7104]

It would be very cool if tarnished Lost- could not get items of quality 4 and items that are useless to him. But there would be a permanent effect of Damocles (doubling of items), it would also be desirable. So that when taking any item of any quality, would give holy mantle. and so you would have to choose, take soy milk along with your build of all the terrible items for the sake of survival. Perhaps I would also like the loss to be able to take 2 items at once in the deals of both the devil and the angel, for the sake of balance and interestingness of the character. (Purely my opinion.)

[@lexhu7654]

What's kinda dum is that I realized that keeper is greed. Tainted keeper is super greed and now tarnished keeper is ultra greed.

[@themaskereade-comicsanimat1865]

TR Keeper uses 5 cents to get only 2 cents on the blood donation machine TR Keeper: STONKS

[@RaceBandit]

If blood banks can pay out to TRKeeper as if he weren't a Keeper, you might be able to use them to gamble if you finagled Turnover into selling you both the Piggy Bank and the Swallowed Penny. It's ... probably not worth it, even with a Wafer-like effect.

[@slenderminion2229]

The amount of unique stuff the community keeps coming up with consistently impresses me.

[@zelpyzelp]

[@opensauce04]

Thanks for covering Tarnished Keeper! Great video

[@WhimsicottFanatic]

Wild timing, considering lately I've been wondering when the Epiphany mod was going to have any new characters I'm loving how Tarnished Eden and Keeper are expansions upon the concepts of their Tainted counterparts, while having a bit of leeway to them that makes them just a _bit_ easier [well, maybe too easy in the case of Tr. Eden, unless the whole "Glitched Gapers convert other enemies into Glitched Gapers" thing was done away with and I hadn't heard about it, because that's always seemed dumb to completely trivialize any challenging non-boss enemies by just getting them turned into a Gaper] Also love that the Shop Keeper is pixelated when using Turnover in an Arcade, that's just adorably charming

I like calling the tainted characters by their unlock names. E.G, the Tainted Keeper is "The Miser," and I like to come up with "tarnished" names for these characters. ...in this case, based on his mechanic of "building shops for better items," my name for the Tarnished Keeper is: "The Entrepreneur."

May I note? The Tarnished Keeper's Midas Curse as a minor detail seems to spread to Tainted Keeper, turning him into one of him. Oh, and do the beggars built via the Turnover not get converted? Hope they don't - that'd be wasteful.

[@kacketnaopacke]

I was really hoping Tarnished Keeper would've had their birthright be more like "Your coins linger around for longer" but honestly their actual effect is much more balanced.

[@suly5836]

Losing your entire money if you get hit feels too heavy of a dowside, especially since you really need the money, knowing how much unavoidable damage it is in the game, this could be a big problem.

[@gogonetnoti2334]

Tbh it is fair as you will be likely at 60+ coins most of the time, and it is a character that u unlock after the tainteds so you should be a good player that isn't getting hit a lot by this time

[@Jeffy_the_J]

anybody else think he should maybe get a higher coin capacity by default? Maybe 200 or 300.

5:16 how did you pick up the trinket,bombs amd the card,also how does buying a pill/card/etc and dropping it? Will the game remember u bought it or will it become coins when u try to pick it up, also also what about the beggars spawned by turnover?

[@sooowp]

I like to think that Epiphany + Fiend Folio are just Repentance+

[@jacho4625]

"Tarnished" = Tainted 2, not tainted tainted. I needed to tell this, because I like the idea, but I'm not interested in other tainted characters...

[@TUNDIRE409]

The birthright doesn't feel right. What birthrights are suppoded to do is that they are supposed to reinforce the character's strength making their main abilities better, like, for example, maggy with the extra health, cain with the extra luck, t keeper with the coin attraction, so just adding a restock machine for tarnished keeper just isn't right in my opinion. Let me show you two examples of good birthrights for this character. Upgrading and making shops costs half. When he gets hit, he only loses half of the normal coins, so 10, but donation is unaffected. Make the dropped coins from damage last longer or have a slight magnetic effect towards tarnished keeper. These are all fair birthrights that would make the item good.

[@art-cs6us]

Normal keeper just gets 1 more heart container, tmaggy also gets 1 heart container that doesn't drain but its essentially just that anyways, tlost is just a revive, and blue baby just makes hp ups give 1 more heart.

[@TUNDIRE409]

@@art-cs6us never said THOSE were good birthrights, but for blue baby's one that actually makes sense since his entire thing is his weird health (soullies only)

[@TUNDIRE409]

@@art-cs6us sorry for splitting it into two replies but t lost's one also makes sense, since his only problem is his incredible weakness, and birthright fixes that.

[@Superbrohouse]

Hey do you still do viewer synergies? I found a really nifty one in an Eden run a few days ago that's *Spin to win + The battery + Any harbinger locust trinket* (I had war's that time, I think death's would be better) Basically when you activate spin to win, all locusts you currently have will become invulnerable and not go away after touching an enemy, which means they constantly tick damage and can even survive the room, allowing you to stack up locusts. This can get incredibly powerful very fast as even 5 or so locusts does lots of dps Unfortunately I died on Depths II because I had really low health and took a few explosions to the face :( It's pretty sad because I never got to see it in action against story bosses like mom's heart or hush, I would absolutely love to though! So long as whatever the locusts are targeting dies before spin to win runs out of charge, all should be fine

[@samuelarrozarrobaz8592]

tarnished ??? "your shit is your life" pocket item: blue doll starting items: soul locket life: 5* (4) Mechanics: Cannot have any type of heart, but can gain orbitable poops every time you break an obstacle poop (5%), when attacking in a hostile room (0.5%) or every second randomly (0.1%) , the orbitable poops are his life. he can only have four orbitables, where they always try to line up behind the blue baby to where he is shooting and if he doesn't shoot they will be trying to center him (considering they are slow familiars). and if all are destroyed the character dies. when it is destroyed, it releases 6 tears of poop to 6 directions, these tears cause half the damage of the character and also synergize with several items in the game. another characteristic of his life is that when the body of the ??? is hit, the character receives a small all stats down, if it is hit 5 times in the body, the character dies automatically. the only ways to recover the life of the choir is with your pocket item blue doll and recovering 1 point by killing the boss of the floor (the more damage in the body you have taken, the greater is your maximum of orbitable poops, being the maximum 8) . attack mechanics: imagine his attack as if it were a monster's lung + haemolacria with 2.50 damage and average fire rate, but with shit projectiles. pocket item: blue doll. item that charges with 12 charges and does something different depending on the type of room you are in, having a 50% chance of doing something good and 50% something bad. if you are in a treasure room, the doll will heal damage to your body and decrease the room's item quality by 1. if the bad effect is activated, it removes your highest quality item collected and generates 2 orbital poops. if in a sacrifice room the doll can take 1 life from her body and activate the next 4 effects of the sacrifice. or it will automatically take you to the dark room with only 1 body health and 1 orbital poo. if in boss room it will either explode the boss, dealing 66.6 damage to the boss or explode at you dealing 1 body damage. (if there is no boss in the room it generates 1 orbitable poop. if used in a library, shop, angel room or demon room, it will generate 1 Orbitable Fly, Gold, Holy, or black, respectively. if used anywhere else not mentioned it will spawn 3 blue flies and a normal poop just below it and consume only two charges. orbitable poops: I'll give you a quick explanation why I'm tired: fly poop: summons a blue fly every 3 seconds golden poop: turns everything golden in a small area when destroyed (including items) holy poop: having it gives you an all stats up instead of down after losing a body life Black Poop: Confuses all enemies in the room for 3 seconds when destroyed. birthright effect: "connected with your spirit" every time he takes body damage he gains 2 random orbitable poops and when he loses 3 orbitable poops he recovers 1 body damage. (Also increases max orbitable poop to 12 and body damage to die to 6 I think it's ready... what boredom does to human beings... I hope someone reads this so I don't feel like I wasted my time in front of the translator...

Everyone is saying something like "make fiend folio a dlc" but epiphany one should actually become one. Like, game becomes something different while still being "A binding of isaac"

[@dragon67849]

Not even talking about the midas effect still working. You staying on minimum of 1 coin to get hit, kill the touched enemy to get a minimum of 2 coins one of which being vanishing. Don't chase the vanishing recklessly! That way you always have money on the floor. As well, golden beggars don't die if you bomb them twice in a row. Leave the room after the first bombing and you can keep siphoning money from them. It is the ultimate cheese. But due to the amount of time it takes to set up, I feel it's not too broken.

[@Shxrpnesss]

first impressions today i played a few runs. 0.8 speed sucks, i got a speed down and i just reset the run. it was extremely annoying to use turnover the max amount of times and only see 1-2 items in an angel room or secret room. you pretty much need to walk into the deal with 99c to feel safe enough to hope for a good item. it costs so much money to even see items, and then you need to buy them as well. getting hit is very punishing and you’re losing 20 cents so quickly. he definitely needs a buff imo. i only installed epiphany to try this and uninstalled it. you need to spend tons of money just to get bombs and keys to access special rooms, and from there you could spend 99c and get nothing useful crippling you tainted keeper ends up with a ton of extra items, i found tarnished keeper ends up with a lot less
