hey guys i normally don't show how the
mod characters are unlocked but i have
to make an exception here because
tarnished eden's unlocked method is a
bit more complicated
you have to play a run as tainted eden
and defeat the first floor boss in under
1 minute just like you would when
unlocking the forgotten do so and go
back to the starting room
what you will find there is a glitched
polaroid item that you have to take with
you your objective is to carry it all
the way down to depth 2.
just like with mom's shovel the polaroid
will also make you run harder it will
activate the d10 and d12 effect in each
hostile room randomly re-rolling enemies
and obstacles
you just have to reach depth 2 and try
to open the strange door with the
glitched polaroid you will be teleported
to tarnished eden and the run ends as
soon as you touch him
tarnished eden himself is even more
glitch than his tainted version he
starts with base isaac stats one random
passive item the d8 and his pocket
active item debug
but you will actually never see those
base stats because each time you enter a
new room the d8 effect activates which
will greatly change most of your stats
every time
the d8 grants a random multiplier
between times 0.5 and times 2 to your
damage tiers speed and range stats this
will result in big changes to those 4
stats in every single new room
the character also starts with his own
d8 by default so if you run into really
bad stats in a difficult room you might
as well give it another chance for
better stats
while the glitchiness doesn't end here
tarnished eden will also reward all of
your items whenever he enters in your
room
traveling back and forth between already
visited rooms will not reroll your items
you will only get a new set of items
every time you see a new room hostile or
not
keeping track of your items will get
harder and harder the more you have you
always have to adapt to the new items as
soon as possible especially in hostile
rooms
but it is important to know that this
item reroll looks not like the d4
tarnished eden's item reroll will
remember the quality of your items and
try to reroll them into the same level
this reroll mechanic will also not
deplete any item pools you can see in
this example how i get new quality 4
items in every room while some of them
appear multiple times
this reworked inventory reroll is way
less punishing and probably also more
fun than tainted edens because you will
get overall more value out of obtained
good items
and talking about item pools the reward
also works differently on this end your
items will actually re-roll based on the
pools you got your items from in the
entire run
[Music]
for example if you only got items from
treasure rooms and just one planetarium
item then all items have a 50-50 chance
to re-roll into either a treasure room
or planetarium item
this makes the whole experience a lot
more random but also more tactical you
could think about skipping certain pools
if you don't want your reward items to
be grabbed from them
the only items that won't be rerolled
are your d8 and the pocket item debug
however if you drop your d8 for another
active item then that one will also
start to get rerolled each room
the exact number of charges will be
saved between rerolls so there's no way
to cheese for easy activations here
getting hit does not reroll tarnished
eden's items however he will transform
any regular enemy that hurts him into
glitched gapers that will keep attacking
him
you have to be really careful here the
glitched gapers themselves can also
spread the corruption they will
transform other enemies into even more
glitch scapers on contact
and while i'm talking about the glitched
gapers it is also a good time to show
your tarnished eden's birthright it is
called orchestrated chaos and has two
effects
the first ability is very simple it will
cause all glitched gapers to spawn
charmed for the rest of the run
basically turning all enemies that hurt
you into your own minions
this is already really strong but the
birthright still has another ability
your tears will also have a small chance
to turn enemies into glitched gapers as
well
both effects are really powerful because
the corruption will spread which will
easily grant you lots of free rooms and
by the way if you haven't noticed it yet
buff right is not affected by the item
reroads
and last but not least we have to talk
about the one thing that i haven't
explained yet tarnished eden's pocket
item debug it is a 12 room charge item
that comes with two abilities at once
using it at any given point will reroll
tarnished eden's items and stats just
like when he enters a new room use this
when you got a really bad item set in
the wrong moment
doing this will only take two charges
away from the item you can use this to
try to fish for a good set against
bosses or game breaking combo in any
non-hostile room
but the pocket item actually has a
second ability that is very well made
using it while you get a new item will
consume all 12 charges to debug that new
item
the debugged item is now fully reroll
proof for the rest of the run this is
basically your way to bring at least
some control into the chaotic nature of
the character
it is up to you if you want to keep the
charges in case you find an item that
you really want to keep or if you want
to re-roll even more often for more
shenanigans have fun with tarnished
eden i think
