Tainted Blue Baby Guide | Binding of Isaac: Repentance

A short guide on how to best utilize all of Tainted Blue Baby's Poops

[pzixvcd]

imagine having 2000 hp and getting killed by a kid that deals 3, 5 dmg points

[SenyiKimmo]

I just realized why the petrified poop retains the effects of other poops even when destroyed. It's Rock Bottom!

Beating hush with Itemless T??? is one of the few ways to guarantee entry into the salty spitoon

[muhammadsyafiq]

Ok so i just beat tainted ??? and had no idea the creep actually could get different properties. Thats actually hella cool

[Soupy]

mans can literally take on hush with no items and people are callin him bad lmao

[levkrasovsky]

Tainted Blue Baby is the spellcaster of Binding of Isaac
Change my mind

[connorsimpson]

So your telling me, that holy poops give the sacred heart effect without sacred heart? I now wanna see if the item stacks with the poop.

[BlueYoshi]

I had no idea the other poops synergized with the creep. That changes everything

[marlonrojas]

Tainted blue baby, for me, it is the most well designed tainted character, it just God tier. Tainted judas, keeper, Beth, etc., are fun and all but T. Blue baby mechanics is just so good, for me the best T. Character in the game.

"Will spawn up to 3 blue flies"
No it will spawn an infinite amount of them. I think what you meant is that it's capped at 3 at a time.

[M.W.]

Take T. Blue baby, find death certificate, take Psy fly, win any fight

[DeusPanis]

My god, I just thought his mechanic was to throw shit to enemies, I was such a fool

[DesperateDirt]

Holy shit (not intended I swear) I didn't even know about the creep interactions with the poop. Now this character seems a lot more fun.

Tainted BB’s design is off-putting. Essentially Isaac locked himself in the chest, tried to eat his own feces to survive and eventually suffocated to become Tainted BB. Fucked if you think about it.

>Make creep out on the borders of the Hush room

>Place a petrified poop, a holy poop, a fire poop and a toxic poop on the bottom area of the room

>Win

It's also worth mentioning that walking into dead shopkeepers while holding fire poop will actually destroy them. Should work with throwing too.

Also, avoid using anything related to brown gas during the Duke of flies fight. For some reason he tends to blow it up without any fire involved and can potentialy harm you.

I just wanna say from my personal AGONIZING experience from playing this character; NO. You have to get EXTREMELY LUCKY to make him OP.

First of all he has the biggest debuff that Blue Baby has; only getting Soul Hearts. Keeping your health in line with both of those characters is extremely heart racingly frustrating. But that's not his only debuff. Tainted Blue Baby also has adverage damage and SHIT tear rate. I shit you not, you will be doing Eve levels of damage without poop help.

Second of all; you have to get GRATUIDOUSLY LUCKY to get a good creep combo! Most of the time you will only get common normal poops. Holding is a good strat for holding more powerful poops, but that is IMMEADIATLY thrown out the window when you CONSTANTLY have to use poop bombs to A. Destroy rocks to get health, B. Save them for Angel Statues to get Key Pieces or C. Keep them to destroy the bomb door in the Mother route. And a side note, sometimes when you throw rock poops you miss by one tiny milimeter and thus not only not giving damage to an enemy, but ALSO blocking them from being hit entirely if they or you are compressed in a corner.

3, Cycling through your poops is something you CANNOT do! meaning if you are 4 poops away from a bomb poop you NEED after clearing an ENTIRE floor, you have to waste those four poops to access it! Doing that is also very time consuming! Good fucking luck getting to Boss Rush, much less Hush!

4 and the MOST frustrating to me; not only can your tears break a poop setup by accident, but an enemy's can too. This person just got extremely lucky that the poops he set didn't break. Most likely with people who normally play it, they will break in like not even 10 seconds. And like I said before, getting those combos is VERY RARE, making it so much more painful when you loose it.

And finally 5, your bomb poops can combine with your bomb pickups, making them harder to dodge after you throw them.

I can see the potential but he falls flat on his face. It's bad when I would rather play as Normal Eve.

I never thought ??? would be that strategy-based, and its amazing.

[adrianrandom]

Imagine being an actual character with strengths and weaknesses which you can learn how to use and have fun with.

I will never not take any opportunity to take a massive dump on T. Laz and T. Jacob

[gabrielandy]

i know some people don't like the character, but we can't deny its a very WELL DESIGNED character as the point of tainted cahracter is to give a Major gameplay changes, instead of the normal characters that usually are minor changes...
