One thing to mention about Curse of the Master is that it has an EXTREMELY overpowered bug. If you walk out of a room and walk back in with good Style points, it will upgrade the pickups again. Meaning that you can always get golden bombs and keys, black hearts, dimes, etc.
This curses make reference to modded characters: -Curse of the ghost: Mei -Curse of the Imp: Fiend -Curse of the Master: Bertran (Revelations) -Curse of the Sun: Icarus (Retribution) -Curse of the stone: Golem (FF) -Curse of the scythe: Samael -Curse of the swine: Mammon (Retribution)
This sort of reminds me of a concept I saw somewhere on the workshop called "Curse of the Self". When you get the cusrse it has 17 random forms it can take each based off the TBOI characters. The only ones the guy who made the mod got around to making were these. I think he's deleted the item because I can't find it anywhere anymore Curse of the Broken (Every pedestal swaps between two items. Only four new items can be picked up before previous items you picked up on that floor are replaced by new items) Curse of the Dauntless (Characters have a high chance to drop temporary hearts on kill, every heart spawned with this curse disappears after a short time) Curse of the Savage (Floor is XL, all damage taken is a full heart. All enemies that can become champion, will become champion. You get higher damage and tears) Curse of the Miser (Characters have a high chance to drop temporary coins on kill, every coin spawned with this curse disappears after a short time. Every item on this floor has to be bought)
I remember seeing this mod on the workshop when it first released. It was a very interesting idea, but it looks like it didn't get any traction. I searched around some isaac discord servers and didn't find a single mention of it.
the names of the curses are apparently also the achievement names for the tainted character unlocks (the broken is for t isaac, savage is for samson, etc.)
Could you cover the character unlocks from the epiphany mod? I’ve only seen videos covering the unlocks from tarnished Isaac and Magdalene, so it would be great to see the other items. Great video!
Curses are such an awful mechanic in vanilla Isaac, a majority of them only hide information from the player which doesn't actually have any gameplay effect. (i.e. curse of the lost doesn't actually do anything since you can just remember the map, unknown can just count your hp, etc, other than blind they only add tedium) However all of these are so good and dynamic like curse of the labyrinth I wish instead of just being locked behind an item, they just replaced the vanilla curses in the mod.
@@staryoshi06 of course, but some implement this well (blind, maze, darkness) but others (unknown, lost) don't actually effect the gameplay at all in reality as all they do is force you to write stuff down, no actual new choices get encouraged, it's purely tedious.
Curse of the Imp feels more like a blessing than a curse Sure, you miss out on some health, but at the same time, little invincible familiars that help you out for 3 hostile rooms ain't exactly terrible either Also kinda weird that, with the downgrades from Curse of the Master, Golden Batteries apparently don't get downgraded Likewise weird that nickels become double pennies, but that's because I'm used to the downgrade system of a similar kind of curse from another mod, being Curse of Famine from the Cursed Collection, which has a chance to downgrade pickups, and nickels get downgraded to sticky nickels Further on Cursed Collection, it has a funny effect where if you get any of the items it adds that force curses upon you, it _actually kills_ your Black Candle if you have one, giving it a little tombstone and everything
im pretty sure its supposed to be a wing since the modded character its based on and named after is icarus with wax wings but the sprite is so fukced up it looks like a gun😭
It does nothing on its own, it only has an effect with certain items such as the black feather trinket, which gives you a damage up for each evil item you have. Aside from that, I don't remember ever seeing anything that it has an effect on.
My opinion on the curses: Ghost: Might just be punishing you for being hurt... whoops. Imp: That just hurts you in the long run. You know, if you bleed over time? Master: I guess that's alright? I mean, it is unique - but not totally the greatest if it comes to a case of "oops you got hit, now I punish you." Scythe: Punishing in general, to be fair. If you get to the effect... say goodbye to your run if you aren't good at dodging. Stone: What do I say...? Drop your items? Sun: Well, that's rude. A small bonus just lost because you can't avoid things? Swine: I mean... I guess you're Tainted keeper now?
It's a hidden stat that you get by acquiring specific items such as Match Book, Black Candle, Abaddon, Black Lipstick, etc. It's usually used for some item synergies and boosting the devil deal chance.

Curse of the ghost instantly made me think of tainted mei specifically.
CotM reminded me of ultrakill tbh (not saying ultrakill created the first style system known to man)

From the looks of it, Curse of the Master should honestly be its own item
true
Algeciras, España. El último capo de la droga en España...
The lost streak player with curse of the master: Infinite power!
I love this item because it makes curses actually affect gameplay instead of being frustrating to deal with
jesus thank you i've been waiting for someone to document all the black lantern curses!
New video? on time? satisfactory yet again.

Doesn't seem like the best item for t. Maggie's based on the curses that punish you for taking damage
ah yes, benefitial curses

I mean the point of the vanilla curses is to lose you information.

@@arrowtongue I mean if you want to min-max that's on you. But personally I find trying to use my memory a little more interesting.
Keeper players: hey I've seen this one!
Curse of Swine: what are you talking about? It's completely new
Curse of the Imp feels more like a blessing than a curse

Also kinda weird that, with the downgrades from Curse of the Master, Golden Batteries apparently don't get downgraded

Soy milk + curse of the scythe must be so op
The curse of the sun’s icon is a gun
I guess Isaac was mad
im pretty sure its supposed to be a wing since the modded character its based on and named after is icarus with wax wings but the sprite is so fukced up it looks like a gun😭
a character that starts with curse of the master would be awesome
Anyone knows the name of the song that plays? Freaking banger
When it said "rage mode" I thought of something like tainted Samson
Same
curse of the master more like curse of the ultrakill (comedy)
What's the music that you use for the modded showcases? It sounds like something from Revelations, even for the Fiend Folio stuff
It's the old main menu music from the Revelations mod.
Curse of the master… bertran curse… cursetran.
We got em. The funniest man alive
I'd say trans curse.
This item looks really interesting, but what is the music that is playing called?
What does the secret "evil" stat do ? I cannot find anything about it...

Where is the background music from?
It's from the Revelations mod.
@@IsaacGuru Thanks :D
well now that make sence... I thought it had something to do with the Golem and all the rocks I smelted :V (they were a lot)
Can someone tell me the name of the background song?
