What I have learned from this new update for tainted apollyon is instead of playing him like a normal Isaac run and just using abyss on trashy items that provide no benefit, you instead are now able to play him like a normal Isaac run and just using abyss on trashy items that provide no benefit. Truly a masterpiece of an update.
The Apollyons have always felt like the weakest characters to play, even with this neat buff, T. Apollyon still feels... underwhelming, compared to total game changers like many other tainteds. I do like Hutt's suggestion though, instead of having 1 special fly, having all of them get buffed. Sacred Heart abyssing might be pretty good if ALL flies got homing and stuff. If Apollyon's Void is All for One, T. Apollyon's Abyss could be One for All. The gameplan would be really fun if everything you sucked up make your FLIES better than what they would be if you took them
@@switchstar098 i feel like the balance there would be that the items that give effects would need to not generate locusts so that you also have to get random items to increase the army
this update doesnt really feel like a buff. if you suck up bad items, like youre supposed to, you get less damage. i guess thats fair, but ed did say that all the item updates were buffs, which this is not.
Relax. The circumstances surrounding Isaac's life and the problems that plagued him and his family were a LOT more complex than what you're implying. Everyone has to deal with tragedy one way or another, and very few find themselves taking the right course initially.
You could do a pseudo “every item is” where you pick an item with a special locust, replace everything with it, but then just abyss them. That was you get a bunch of the same special fly, so you can better show off what it does.
I love watching Hutts when it’s time for bed because he provides a constant stream of consciousness and it lets my brain listen instead of think. Thank you Hutts, you’re supporting college students
I think the sacred heart locust also has a holy light effect that does 600% of your damage. So if you already have high base damage it would make you think at least a tiny bit about abysing it.
I'd take a damage dip per locust in exchange for more effects. I like the tier = damage, that's kinda fun, they can keep that. As for Locusts: Minimum: Each item category guarantees a certain locust type (bomb = bomb locust, angel = angel locust etc) Maximum: Transformative items should lead to unique loctusts (brimstone = brim ringed locust, tech 0 chains to nearby fired locusts etc)
Maybe you can do a challenge run with T Apollyon where you start off with the backpack and do like every item is mystery gift. For every item you spawn with mystery gift you have to abyss. That way you kind of work with getting more synergies with the abyss
On the topic of possible ways Apollyon could've worked, hear me out, since he's a damn statue he wouldn't be able to cry, hence he'd need the locusts to attack. So, you gotta balance between getting more locusts or strong items, btw I'd ditch the tier-damage thingy since makes lower quality items less appealing to void, instead be something like tied to Apollyon's damage by a 1.25x or something, to compensate the lack of constant tears ripping through enemies.
I'm not that well knowledged on the different issac games, but what happens if you take Abyss into the death certificate area and grab all the items in a large room?
Hutts, are you ever going to consider making videos about playing online with randoms? I feel like it would be some of the funniest content watching other people mess up stuff
I like the item changes in repentance plus, but they’re tiny. The real point of Rep+ was online (which was already possible). You can play with strangers now, but Isaac requires coordination and accountability, which you don’t have online with strangers.
always liked abyss and always found it to be powerful and fun, it always seemed to me that people complaining about it not having many synergies is just us asking for too much - sure there are things like book of virtues n all, but hell, even if it didnt have any interactions in the first place, it still would have been a really good item, a carry one even if you ask me
I said it before the update and I'll say it again: Tainted Apollyon should _only_ have flies. No tears. With just the flies alone he's still more powerful than most other characters, and since he still has tears there's never incentive to Abyss anything worth taking. Alternatively, make any tear-related stat ups he gets only give 0.5x their value.
I think the concept of appollyon's locusts makes him strong, but boring. And thats just how it has to be. But maybe the poison locusts could have 💯 chance to poison and grant a 5% chance to poison to all others, making the swarm buff each other.

Hey but think about it, now those trashy items might have a much bigger benefit than if you just didn't take them.

Why the fuck did they lower the damage of lower tier items? Just make 3.5 the minimum, 7 the maximum and scale everything else accordingly

The way the camera is set up reminds me of some of the older hutts vids
I miss em, sometimes. Only sometimes though.
Honestly was thinking the same
When I was first getting into isaac he was always helpful with item descriptions before the item description mod even came out!
Protogen, also I thought the same
I love your fursona
Hutts we all saw that void portal… “No balls Hutts!” ~ Tim
Void Portals always spawn after Lamb/Blue Baby now though?
@@somerandomgamer8504 I think that’s mega satan
should've abyss'd the void... that's a special interaction
Abyss wasn't charged
@@exotic9417bro he got a lot of active items to put it down again afterwards so that's not an excuse
I don’t think Void has the special interaction, but rather the Abyss does.
Bro ignored the void portal harder than Isaac's mom ignored her son's problems!
Void Portals are guaranteed after Chest/Dark Room now.
@somerandomgamer8504 yeah but he still didn't even address it
@@somerandomgamer8504 You're kidding
The more I hear about this update the more I love it

@notchillstorm there's no way you're defending a fictional abusive mother with your life
I think, and people might hate me for that idea, that T. Apollyon would be played way more with abyss if he was blindfolded.
No, that sounds like a good idea. or at least a good challenge
Hey Hutts not a complaint but it seems like there may be an issue with the audio? It just seems not as clear as last videos
the description says he didn't record it at home
@@bawbehhthat makes sense thanks! It said skibidi and I was lost lol
@@ligerfiregaming3639 Guess he skibidi'd the description, too.

Always good to see videos from you Hutts. If you need to make more Tainted Apollyon vids to show him off, I will never complain.
Always love seeing stuff from you Hutts!
Hey guys welcome to Dark Red Locust Gaming! Today we're showing you all the Dark Red Locusts you can get from using Abyss on items!
DA INDIE KING IS BACK BABY HE NEVA MISS WE'RE EATING GOOD TODAY Y'ALL
First repentance plus video on board!
The camera makes hutts look 100% like his channel logo :D
18:50 butter bean locust gives the rare fart locust generated only by the bean items
jk I don't know what the dark blue locust does
I thought isaac was done after kilburn left. This is some very positive news. Good to see this back
MORE MORE MORE. I need more main channel hutts content idc what the video is on I need it. Much love
this format is actually so good!!
The butter bean dark blue locust has increased knockback
I think the sacred heart locust also has a holy light effect that does 600% of your damage. So if you already have high base damage it would make you think at least a tiny bit about abysing it.
Sorta wanna see an "Every Item is Abyss" run now with the abyss/abyss interaction in R+ XD

I hear abyssing void does something cool btw for future reference, i would love to see more abyss content
WOOT WOOT. Always a good day when there's a Hutts upload :)
Good thing that SLAY has done an in-depth guide of Abyss ;)
good to see you hutts!

wake up, dad uploaded
I love apolyion they're my fave character in the game due to just being able to make bad items still have a use via void and abyss
Fun fact if you can manage to Abyss abyss
You will get one of every single locust
Heck, yeah we want more hutts
This video was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
YES new Isaac for Hutts to rip apart
The level of quality increase or decrease based on the damage you have, so YES, there's an important diference
idea: every item is an item that gives one of the new special locus and you have to abyss every item you come across
How about a self imposed blindfold + Abyss challenge? To truly showcase mainly the locusts
Maybe an indicator for item descriptions where it says what locust you'll get from using it on said item might be good!
Something about the combination of audio and visual of Hutts reminds me of the older videos.
I waited for your take on Repentance + ❤
I'd love to see a run where you change every ítem to one of the synergy ones and go for locust only
Idea: Every item is ___. But using abyss. Like, Every item is battery, then all locusts will be energised
YAY! Hutts uploaded a video!
I swear the D1 is so fucking underrated it’s so good
Even though the online co-op is still buggy I love it to bits!! Tons of fun
Finally a Rep+ episode!
You could have taken deaths list and then dark prince crown for it to proc (you’d have one heart container, but you voided it)
Love the vids keep it up❤
Oh hey, it's Huttsamania
The PEAKUTTS posted
I'm not that well knowledged on the different issac games, but what happens if you take Abyss into the death certificate area and grab all the items in a large room?
It should just be a passive item but it gives you a locust whenever you pick up any item
Hutts you should have abyssd void, theres a fun synergy with it
Honey wake up Hutts uploaded
Better locusts? 4 charge Void? 4 charge Flip on T Laz??? If this update gives T Cain something good it is officially the best Isaac update ever
bad news
@@roxygaming5968 heck
Hutts, are you ever going to consider making videos about playing online with randoms? I feel like it would be some of the funniest content watching other people mess up stuff
oh yeah, been dying for Isaac
hot take: but i think t. apollyon would get more use out of Abyss if they couldnt shoot tears at all
I like the item changes in repentance plus, but they’re tiny. The real point of Rep+ was online (which was already possible). You can play with strangers now, but Isaac requires coordination and accountability, which you don’t have online with strangers.
this was kind of a locust burger of a video
Best Birthright after Judas 🥲
Hutts id love to see new online random matches
No horns, no void....no balls. ;-(
Love the video!
always liked abyss and always found it to be powerful and fun, it always seemed to me that people complaining about it not having many synergies is just us asking for too much - sure there are things like book of virtues n all, but hell, even if it didnt have any interactions in the first place, it still would have been a really good item, a carry one even if you ask me
I love when you play tainted Apollyon!!

Hey Hutts, are you planning to revisit the original Repentance+ mod at sone point in time?
was watching old hutts videos and this popped up on autoplay
Apollyon should just not be able to pick up items and just transform all items automatically into locusts.
Hutts you need to Abyss the Void next time!!!
Should been blindfold caracter with sister maggy
Odd spacing between numbers, why 0 2, and not 02? What happened?
what happend to the audio quality? it sounds like a mic in a CoD lobby from 2010
You streaming from prison? What the hell man?
Dye your hair pink again if you're in trouble. HahahahHahaHAHA
I'm glad they made abyss into an actual item, sadly it's a mid one at best
You'd never use it on strong items and just benefit from the regular effect
Mr Hutts I regret to inform you that your tattoo seems to be fading from existence?
Thats so many locusts at the end, definitely do atleast another run even if its just for stream
luv u hutts
Did Tim write the description
I think the concept of appollyon's locusts makes him strong, but boring. And thats just how it has to be.
But maybe the poison locusts could have 💯 chance to poison and grant a 5% chance to poison to all others, making the swarm buff each other.
A bit too op tho, i mean you'll have like 6 locust's or something and tahts a %60 of whatever
@l0sts0ul89 hmmm. I guess that's too fast then, maybe gradually smaller growth of percentage?
hope to see more T appy rons
it would be cool if we could get the effects of other characters birthrights (except eve's that one sucks)
Next vid: every item is abyss
17:32 I have 300h on this game and I didn't know that, that's crazy
Yo that t-shirt he wears looks sick! Anyone knows where to find it?
Democles challenge with T Appolyon :3
Blindfolded T Apolyon run!
If taintaed apolyon started with a Blindfold then it would be way more interesting beacuse you would have to focus entirly on the locusts
Could do a run with infinite abyss charge and birtright abd abyss all items you come across. I think that would be fun.
The Huttsening!
why did ur camera quality go way down bruh
Please try him out with his birthright!
You should take the damage ups, not void them, the damage increase to all locust is better
would like to see some multiplayer videos
Welcome back Mr.Hutts
Dont abyss damage ups they make your locust stronger
My all should hit the bell❤
Could probably cut back on the random sound effects
No horns?
