It's supposed to be like "Lavender Castle" if you remove the extra letters (a ton of people put emphasis on the VEN which sounds super weird to me!!) (yes it's an L not an i)
I was thinking of rebranding to a different name entirely, but that's too much effort and a lot of people would be confused sooooo... yeah. Also fun fact the name lavencas was kind of a placeholder until I thought of something that sounded better, but my channel exploded way faster than I would've ever imagined and by that point it was too late...
Name change might happen eventually... but I'm afraid of people not liking it lol (rn I'm torn between either laven or cas with a slight preference to cas)

This is the greatest samael moment of all time.
HI!!

"Death, where is your victory?" is such a haunting line, this ending chilled me to the bone, even more than normal Samael. It feels like this ending is part of something bigger, specially in how isaac is "reborn" in the basement, almost as if escaping death. Perhaps, there is a force that wants this kid to go back there time after time, to defy death.
When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the motal puts on immortality Death will come to pass ?(the same that is risen.)?
Death is swallowed up in victory.
O' Death, where is your victory?
O' Death where is your sting?
Sting of Death is sin and the power of sin is the Lord, but thanks be to God who gives us the victory though our lord, Jesus Christ.
just found the original quote
let me just
1 Corinthians 15:55-58, NIV: When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: 'Death has been swallowed up in victory.'
Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
It's a Bible quote, and the static tendrils that pull Samael through the door greatly resemble Dogma, so I think it's sort of meant to add to the lore that was already there in Repentance, but I also think there's a strong chance that the Samael dev will add at least one more secret ending that'll involve beating Dogma as one or both versions of Samael.
im pretty sure the ending is as isaac is about to move on dogma takes over and locks samael away so he cant free isaac from his eternal limbo that is well the game its self
The ending’s based off the original Samael ending. Based on what I have read and interpreted, Isaac’s death has left him wandering through purgatory, and Samael is the one sent to take him to Heaven. However, unlike in the original ending, this presumably shows the origin of Tainted Samael, who gets sucked into the closet after Isaac’s own regrets as told to him by the Dogma broadcasts prevent him from fully understanding the circumstances of his life and thus receding him further into his fantasies.
I love watching T Samael regrow his flesh only to pog at good items
ok
i think you can already tell,but i think its beacuse there isnt a special pogging animation for the character,so it just uses the default.
@@Verynoobman yeah, it was a joke
This ending was genuinely so much cooler than the regular Samuel ending, and fits with the tone of the game perfectly. It almost feels like Samael isn't even a modded character.
Wait, so in this ending Isaac is stuck in this basement purgatory forever due to… something… taking the angel of death away?
The "something" appears to be Dogma, given the staticky effects and the evangelical chanting going on in the background.
... Yeah, I don't really get it either.
@@akiranara6404 Isaac is too indoctrinated to go with death.
I think it's more of a refusal to go, clinging to the past and the dogma you grew with. Isaac realises he's died, but the beliefs he grew up with take hold and he refuses to let go of his past life, stuck in an eternal cycle, waiting for Him to take him, or maybe something like that.
@@akiranara6404 well from my understanding, It seems to be picked up from Samael's Vanilla Ending where Sam wanted to take Isaac to purgatory to spend the rest of his days, however Dogma takes over "reincarnating" Isaac and possessing him, as tentacles of the static arrive to take death, Dogma proceeds to mock Death/Samael after he is dragged to the nothingness of the manifestation of God, Isaac is taken back to Basement I.
I guess this is supposed to represent the fact that death and purgatory (alone) won't break the endless cycle Isaac is put in.. Oh Death, where is your victory..? Oh Death, WHERE IS YOUR STING!?
I think its a hint saying there is gunna b e a tarnished Samael
i think the ending gave me a "I have so many questions, and so few answers!" feeling
just like the base game!
I really wish to see a Tarnished Samael character, I feel like that would be a really cool character to play as!!
I wanted to see any tarnished modded character, maybe creator or fans of epiphany do something like Epiphany API to add tr versions
@@EndeKeyLOL13in1 there are some modded characters with tarnished versions already
To be honest I'm not sure how that would work... From what I can tell, the Tarnished chars are to the Tainted chars what the Tainted chars are to the regular chars: that is to say, they take the core concept of the Tainted character and twist it in a completely different direction. (Isaac can reroll items; Tainted Isaac effectively gets a free reroll on every item, but can only take up to 8; Tarnished Isaac can reroll any item in their inventory and pick between 2 replacements. Keeper is a shopkeeper; Tainted Keeper has to buy every item using money; Tarnished Keeper has to create shops using Turnover and buy items from them.) How exactly would one further twist Tainted Samael?
It's the same problem I imagine the Epiphany devs are facing with e.g. Eden. Tainted Eden already has a weird gimmick, where they reroll their entire build every time they get hit; how exactly can you twist that into a distinct concept?
@@akiranara6404 I thought tarnished Eden changes items per room, but the quality stays the same
@@multicatkid ... I need to look up the Epiphany mod again before I say these things. Apparently Tarnished Eden has existed for a while and I didn't realize it...
Alright, here's another example. Blue Baby is meant to be an asphyxiated Isaac, so he starts with The Poop (to reflect how corpses' bowels sonetimes loosen after death, causing them to shit themselves). Tainted Blue Baby uses various types of poop instead of bombs. How exactly do you turn that into a tarnished character?
I think that's part of the slow release of characters for the Epiphany mod. Simply coming up with a concept for a Tarnished character, and how to appropriately warp a given Tainted character's gameplay, really can't be easy, let alone developing a full set of unlocks for each character on top of that.
average lavencas video:
- spindown dice
- lost soul dead x4761
- some hella weird synergies that were not even intended
- tainted lost intro
So basically, Dogma is preventing Isaac from moving onto the afterlife, it locking Samuel (Death) away, thus creating the Tainted version.
When i readed Samuel my mind think in jestream sam
Never stop explaining how items work for new players. I learned a lot about the game from you and I wasn't even a new player. It's very helpful and keeps people engaged with the video too.
me too i have like 1000+ hrs and still learning new stuff.. sure cant say that for most other games.. theres just sooo much in isaac
Samael dashing through the sky and decapitating Isaac was so smooth, amazing animations.
THEY HAVE TO MAJE A TARNISHED VERSION. It would be a great way to tie the whole story together. And maybe give Issac the rest he needs.
this is the tarnished version lol
@@erikakerboom2101 this is the tainted version
I dig your personality a lot. I like that every video is different, especially for this game, since this game tends to get dry if you do the same thing over and over. Great content. Keep it up Cas!
That ending is certainly something. Samael has always been quality, but the ending really sold it right here.
SPOILERS AHEAD:
Judging the original Samael ending, it seemed to represent Isaac coming to peace with his own death. (It implied that Samael, unlike the other characters, is his own entity and actually the angel of death, coming to lead Isaac out of Purgatory.) The invocation of Dogma in the Tainted ending implies that its message is what actively prevents Isaac from getting that peace of mind, and causes him to reject Samael and the peace he offers, locking him away like all his other trauma. Massive props to the modders for actually tying this in so well with the lore and themes of the regular game so well.
best mod ever
I certainly dont mind you explaining the easy Isaac stuff, iirc it was your videos that taught me that you get guaranteed Angel room if you never enter the first devil deal offering and I've been playing this game for years
I mean it is a new addition, when repentance was released.
i mean tbf that was added in repentance
Quick notice: Memento Mori, the pocket active, translates as "Remember Death" or as we see here, "Remembrance of Death".
I would love to see an occasional greedier run once in a while. Just to spice things up (And the final boss theme is my favorite in the music pack)
W video as always! I always appreciate when you explain the simpler things because I don’t play these games. I just enjoy watching the game and the funny commentary
As someone who's been playing the game for maybe a year by now, I think the simple explanations are great to include, I've gotten a good few misconceptions cleared up by your videos
What the literal what xD
So, I came to know TBOI just from YT like 8 years ago and now I'm addicted to the gameplays, as for I never ever played the game myself, therefore I saw the evolution from rebirth til now (and ongoing, I really LOVE it) And his ending left me like.... "Wait... No wait! Wha-!? No wait!!!! Wha-!???? WHY IS THIS NOT CANON!?!" I love the game, but more than everything I love your content. I feel lucky bc ai can always rely on your help as for there's always a new vid every day and I love every second of very video you make. Lav, I strongly hope you are not overdoing yourself, and I wish you the best. Thank you for everything, much love🥰
I love when u explain the things in game bc no matter how many times I watch.
I always forget how the items and mechanics work
Explaining simple stuff is absolutely not annoying. It’s really helpful, even for more experienced players
Man, it's incredible how much effort has been put into this mod. I'm loving the content on it!
Also, the sounds of Samael rapidly swinging his scythe and the lost soul shenanigans absolutely crack me up!
Oh god!
The whole idea of slicing the heads of Isaac just before they go to heaven and taking both heads is actually morbid and creepy.
I feel like the ending revolves around how Isaac is stuck in purgatory, possibly because he denied death?
Hey I personally love your style of editing with the text and stuff. I also really like how you put the little text on the kiilled beggers whenever you bomb them.
13:35 the background music change was amazing
I hope they will add more synergy's cause this character is too fun with them
That ??? "fight" (it really was more of an execution) is one of the most satisfying things I've ever seen out of this game.
I like when you do the explanations inbetween. helps newer players get used to some of the wonkiness of isaac
Please keep adding in the tips! I'm still learning Isaac as I go, and there are a lot of little interactions and tricks that I don't know yet!
Lost Soul on Womb II: Maybe I don't want to die anymore
3:55 syncs so well
Ending seems like Religious dogma is teaching people death is an enemy rather then a guide for lost souls, which, if fought against, leaves them in a state between heaven and hell, life and death, but not one in purgatory.
just want to say you talked about how simple stuff being explained hopefully isn't being annoying, it isn't. I'm a new player to the game so learning things like that is very useful
this is the only time lavencas will ever get a lost buddy to survive one floor
Loved playing him so far. Lost contact and spin to win make you near invincible. Head of the keeper gives golden scythes which look sick!
I miss when i would wait on my phone for a new lavencas vid... Your content is so... new
I swear you find the Spinup/Spindown Dice every single run or something. They seem to like you.
I'd like to see unique endings for each character in Isaac 2.
thew idea in vanilla isaac is that the charachters are ALL isaac in costume.
@@animeloveer97 really? I thought they were all isaac's dopelgangers 🤯 but still i'd like to see unique endings even if thats the case.
12:29 - 12:35 Lost Soul weaving between projectiles like a pro, if only he did that all the time
SPOILER, ENDING TRANSCRIPTION BELOW (from a local Bible nerd):
.
.
.
.
.
.
When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 1 Corinthians 15:54-57
So due to his dogma faith he's unable to die
his dogma forbids something like the grim reaper to exist
Me in the start of secret end:cmon same it again?
Me after see the full end:Holy shit
Jesus Christ that ending 0_0
I had grown up hearing messages like the one being played in the background, but it does seem a whole lot scarier from death's perspective.
Imagine if you could play as bones Isaac like bone tears and when you killed an enemy you would banish them like the cutscene and get buffs
That's what Tarnished Forgotten must me
Lost Soul was sick and tired of dying on that last womb floor hahaha
I do have a theory..
So when Samael was about to get Isaac soul or sort of the dogma kinda like manifestad
And so when Samael is taken by dogma he else gets punished for not doing his work or dogma had to do smth with it
And maybe after that now Isaac is trapped in an Endless Cycle of eternal sorrow and suffering with no way to go to heaven or hell
Edgy
@@headlessdecapitator bro considers now everything edgy 💀
I think it's a little simpler than that.
Isaac's faith is keeping him alive. Listen to the scriptures being used in the end cutscene.
"And Death is swallowed up in victory."
Issac is afraid to die, which makes sense, and by accidentally using the scriptures that were firmly etched into his mind all his life, he effectively exorcises Samael (aka Death,) into the Tainted Closet- he sealed away death!
Faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains, cure diseases... and resurrect the dead.
"Oh Death, where is thy sting?"
The consequence of that is Isaac is still trapped in this game, (or rather, his delirious purgatory, as the base game reveals) because Samael can't get to him take him away to the afterlife.
Perhaps because it's the T. Samael cutscene instead of normal Samael, it's the retelling of how he tried and failed to reap Isaac's soul, or perhaps maybe it's another attempt.
@@Seeker_of_Truth_and_Beauty good point tbh
Recently found out you can cheese curse rooms with memento mori, love this character.
Lavencas i have to tell you thanks to you (and Lazy Mattman and SlayX) for helping me to learn incredibly fast to how play Isaac (also thanks to one of my friends that introduce me into the community....after a lot of years lmao)
Concept: when you get that ending you can get another secret ending which is triggered by going to the beast as t samael and killing dogma and when killing dogma triggers a new run with sacred or an op q4 instead of going to the beast and you can get the good version of the last ending where dogma didnt interfere
5:44 Nah, noticed that happen once on PS4, where the boss music for angels suddenly completely cut out for me. I think it's just Edmund having accidentally broken something IDK.
Try out the Eye of the Night card mod. It adds a card to the game the gives you half a soul heart a removes a floor curse, but only for one room. It also shows blind pedestals in alt path floors if you use it in that room.
Hm, this is my take:
So regular Samael goes to delete all the final bosses to make Isaac realize he's dead so he can be taken to purgatory.
But Dogma doesn't agree with that and takes control of Isaac to push Samael into the tainted characters door. Therefore, Tainted Samael was born. And his pocket item, Memento Mori, is the message Samael still wants to give to Isaac, even after being turned into a skeleton. (Remember Death)
Arguably one of the best isaac content creator
T Samael feels like T Judas on steroids.
I wish haunted chests had a chance to give you 'ghost items' but I guess edmund thought we needed another pain in the ass instead.
Thats how every run happens
Good work as always, cant wait to see that that greedier run.
the thousand reroll stare at the end
I'm so happy they updated the mod again
Lost soul: remember son die is GAY
Lost soul:yes father
12:30 lost soul using 0,000001 percent of his true power
We have the darkness from learning with pibby, now we have the lightness!
Tarnished samael be like:
*Judgement cut*
Firstly I thought there is just normal samael cutsene... but that dogma things... they suprised me
I think the best part of this game is if I get board of it, there are hella mods. And after a week of not playing it I want to again.
Spirit of Depression + Brimstone = everything dies!!
I never thought I'll enter a video this fast
I haven't seen something that epic than the deep laboratories mod beast cutscenes
Un dato curioso "Memento Mori" es la traducción al latín de "recuerda que morirás"
Eso si que es curioso
@@vicentelazcanohuerta4249 lo se verdad creo que los desarrolladores del mod saben latín
The lost soul has a plot armor
Polyphemus + 20/20 with normal samael turns him into a blender
Wow! The endind is so insane Bro!
Mega mush + rock botom combo: exist for +100 damage
Yt: lets go for star of betlehem +8damage
imagine this was canon doe
I love fan endings.
samael's memento mori have creazy synergy with tiny planet :P
That ending was so cool but I have so many questions
i never played tboi but i saw the video of the normal samael ending and i am ready to see what is going to happen with the tainted one. also do remember that getting BFFs (heart one) will give the lost/found soul a holy mantle. the ending does show what happen to samael to become tainted but aint going to say what.
LOST SOUL HAS ENTERED THE MATRIX
The creepiest finale
Context:
YOU SHOULD DESERVE TO LIVE IN THAT CLOSET, HEAVEN ISNT FOR PEOBLE LIKE YOU
-Isaac to Samael before he got trapped
I think its fine to have a fun easy character (like Azazel), but damn at the time of posting this ability was op
Isaac was the imposter. Sussy baka.
There was still a chance to get crown of light if you did the challenge room and fought the angle statues one at a time and the boss itself then checked the super secret room and the mines door for enemies
In the game where a 5 year old suffocates in a chest? now THAT'S something!
Can't wait to play this game, just waiting for an discount on steam!
Heres an idea for tarnished (THIS IS STILL A UNFINSIHED IDEA I WILL FINISH IT SOME DAY DAY BUT FOR NOW HERES MY IDEA) samael like the one thats not out yet: first the part where tainted samael gets pushed into the door plays but it shows tarnished samael now thrown out of the door and now in the special type of greed floor but very difrent tarnished samael has to fight stages of dogma possesed enimes and when killed they can drop: dogma coin wich is worth 5 coins but takes half a heart and they can also drop
Issac coins wich reminds samael why hes doing this: to free issac and it gives samael speed up and the effect of im excited and one last coin they can drop are sytche pecice coins and yes samael does not have his sytche he starts with chain of darkness when used: tarnished samael will strangel the nearest group of enimes and its a 1 charge item and it charges after 3 seconds and samael has to get upgrades and trinkets to fight special bosses for the special dogma boss fight key peices to unlock the special dogma boss fight and once special dogma is deafeated the ending plays out like this: tarnished samael deafeats special dogma and then it cuts back to issac and then issac goes for a door but samael gets thrown out of the special greed floor and samael tries to free issac but this time issac gets draged into a door like samael but samael frees issac from it with his new sytche
I think dogma took Samuel and turned him into his tateied version trapping him in the same hell as issac
Samael with xray vision goggles reminds me of uncle death from LET IT DIE
Hey lavencas, if you're interested in another well done modded character, I recommend Eevee revisited. It's got unique attacks and synergies and tons of costumed looks to match obtained items and is even in the works to add all of the evolutions as well!
I think the original idea was to make the secret ending with normal samael, not with the tainted one, mostly because of the ending that explained how samael ended up in the hidden closet.
Maybe they will add Tarnished Samael?
my immediate thought when I saw that the useable was labeled "Memento Mori"
those who know, know what I'm talking about...
do you think tainted samael goes "got your head!!!" when he's decapitating his victims
Then isaac was just like poggin'
nobodys going to talk about how spin up recharges out of no where 1:00
Dang, good point
Was Isaac held a puppet to dogma, which was why Samael was thrown into the static wormhole?
Samael got sent to Brazil.
