[@SmashKid15]

The health gimmick reminds me of getting hit in Sonic games. Nice reference!

[@yt_MLM3]

i was about to say it, it's a really cool mechanic in isaac ngl

[@tailpig6417]

And the health ups tirning into coin mantles is a direct references to the shields seen in Sonic games

[@EliTriesToBeFunny]

That's what I was thinking

[@RaceBandit]

Aww, you beat me to the joke. I guess all that's missing is synergies to make the coin mantles have elemental effects.

[@Amsel_616]

Last time i checked the Epyphany wiki it said that was an intentional reference

[@slenderminion2229]

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

[@zelpyzelp]

It's nice to know that even if official content is essentially over (I know Kilburn's apparently still working on updates but yeah), the community is constantly putting out interesting stuff to keep the game alive

[@AlexanderFlamesworth]

oh my god I love the cutscenes that always happen when you get tarnished characters, like with Eden looking like "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE" before crashing the game

[@Notespooky]

If you find an eternal heart, it will be turned into a coin mantle plus a couple flies, very nice attention to detail right there

[@Jormundgandr-jg5xg]

And this is why this is one of my favourite Issac mods Gotta love the tarnished characters

[@Jedericdotzip]

I like the idea of Keeper’s obsession for gold consuming him and turning all that he touches into gold for the tarnished version.

[@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

[@opensauce04]

Thanks for covering Tarnished Keeper! Great video

[@kittenthesmol7373]

The K.A.E.K (according to what I've seen) has a simple effect, adding a Shopkeeper (or rerolling it's appearance if there already is one) and one purchasable item/pickup/consumable/trinket to the room it is used in.

[@stonetimekeeper]

This mod is insane with how unique the characters are getting.

[@Berry_Benderson]

i like these tarnished characters the way you unlock them is just cool the ending to them is the cherry on top.

[@TheTwinMasks]

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.

[@Losbois25]

I will admit, tarnished characters have good gimmics

[@LucarioredLR]

hope that once they're done Edmund adds them into the game, these Tarnished characters are very unique and fun to play with, if not difficult

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."

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.

[@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...

[@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.
