Tainted Lost

Tainted Lost is a character added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance. It is the alternate version of The Lost. Tainted Lost is unlocked by reaching
Home and using either the
Red Key or the
Cracked Key to access a special room in one of the walls while playing as The Lost.
Tainted Lost is just like The Lost but instead of Holy Mantle, it starts with
Holy Card and does not start with the
Eternal D6. Tainted Lost has flight and spectral tears, but no health and dies from any damage taken. Cards and Runes have a 10% chance of being turned into a Holy Card.
Contents
Item Quality Bonus[edit | edit source]
Tainted Lost has an additional mechanic which prevents unusable and low-quality items from spawning, such as items that only provide health increases (which The Lost is unable to use)
Categorization and quality are hidden values assigned to each item[1] in the game. If an item that does not qualify would be generated, it's instead silently rerolled to a suitable item.
Additionally, Tainted Lost has a 20% chance of rerolling any item with a quality value of 2 or less – such as Brother Bobby or
Almond Milk – even if they would otherwise qualify.
This, unfortunately, precludes items such as Dead Cat and
Holy Mantle. These cannot appear in game naturally (but will still appear through methods that force them to spawn, such as
Spindown Dice).

Strategy[edit | edit source]
With only a single Holy Card for defense, defensive items become just as important as offensive ones, as you won't be able to afford taking more than a single hit the entire run unless you find another Holy Card. However, because all items not marked as "offensive" will automatically be rerolled, the amount of defensive options available are much less plentiful. Some of the most important items that can't spawn due to this mechanic are:
Gnawed Leaf
Unicorn Stump
1up!
Pyromaniac
Host Hat
Stop Watch
Guppy's Collar
Taurus
Inner Child (Although he can still obtain the version of this item in the closet in The Home)
Not all good defensive items are removed by this mechanic, however; after all, the best defense you can have as Tainted Lost is a great offense, and there will be no shortage of good offensive items if you're playing as him. But in terms of actually defensive items, here are some that should be sought out when restarting or going through your run:
Blank Card (to re-use Holy Card)
Book of Shadows (very powerful in combination with
Panic Button)
Deck of Cards (for cards to get you out of bad situations, plus the chance to get another Holy Card)
My Little Unicorn
The Gamekid
The Soul
Lost Contact
The Hourglass
Flush!
Glowing Hour Glass (to recover your shield after getting hit)
Mom's Box (to get
Wooden Cross)
Censer
Placebo (if used with Power Pill or Feels Like I'm Walking on Sunshine)
Book of the Dead
D1 (to duplicate your starting Holy Card)
Pause
Camo Undies
Dad's Ring
Slipped Rib
Bloodshot Eye
Telekinesis
Blanket
Book of Virtues
Clear Rune (to use with
Rune of Algiz)
Dark Arts
Jar of Wisps
Lemegeton
Birthright (Gives an extra life as Tainted Lost)
Mercurius
Pluto
Psy Fly
Tooth and Nail
2Spooky
Anima Sola
Unlockable Items[edit | edit source]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- While items like
A Dollar,
Knife Piece 1 and
Knife Piece 2 are not considered items that the Tainted Lost can find, they will still appear for him if the conditions for finding them are met.
- The achievement for unlocking Tainted Lost is "The Baleful", a possible title for the character.
References[edit | edit source]

items_metadata.xml
, Tainted Lost is prevented from finding items that are not tagged "offensive
". Note that not all items with the tag are purely offensive as per the definition of the word.
Birthright effect[edit | edit source]
Gives the Lost an extra life, if killed all enemies near him will take 200 damage, enemies can be hit multiple times.
