FAQ + Bug Reports (READ FAQ IF MOD DOESN'T WORK)
Non-Steam Version Out of Date

If you have a non-steam copy of Isaac, it NEEDS to be at least version v1.7.9b.J835! The mod relies on some useful new functionality added in a recent update!

Known Incompatibilities

"Animated Items" is currently broken, and also breaks other mods. If you have that, disable it.

Also, "Mod Config Menu Continued" is abandoned and broken.

Reporting an Issue

If the mod is currently broken for you (Samael can't move, doesn't have his scythe, appearance is broken etc), PLEASE send me a copy of your log file via Discord or e-mail rather than posting here. 99% of issues that I resolve are by finding a problem in the log file.

You log file can be found in this location:
<My Documents>/My Games/Binding of Isaac Repentance/log.txt

Email: ghostbroster@gmail.com
Discord: Connor#2143

Please note that the log file is reset every time you start up the game, so send me the file right after you experience the issue in-game.

So i just installed the mod and played samael for the first time and it was very fun so i give props to the developers, but...

in my first run i encountered a strange bug that when you have "Eye of The Occult" + "Technology" you seem to not be able to swing your scythe unless you press control or just use the pocket active

More bug reports:

1. T-Samael's pocket active seem to ignore boss dmg reduction, which makes it super powerful against eg. Hush or Ultragreedier ( I used it like 2 times with all 5 marks placed correctly, and Greedier lost like 4/5 of his health already). Not sure if it's designed like this or simply a bug, but kinda op from my pof.

2. When you can carry more than one card/pill (via eg. starter deck) can allow you to take the one time d9 spawned by the spirit to the other rooms, just by switching the holding card once. And after that, when the dice is used elsewhere, entering the room where the d9 is taken away will spawn another d9, make it possible to reroll theoretically infinite times, which is clearly a bug. Btw, all three spirits are incredibly powerful, which I enjoy a lot.

3. While having Mutated Spider & Incubus/Twisted Pair at the same time, the bullet fired by the familiars will spread like RUAW, which can be a bug or may not. And please make synergies for these 2...

[1] is a feature. It's strong, yeah, but with how long it takes to set up Memento Mori sigils against those bosses, and how difficult that can be to do, the damage output from it was lackluster if it didn't pierce armor.

[3] I have no idea what you're referring to here. I don't know what RUAW means and nothing seems abnormal about those familiars' interactions with Mutant Spider, and if you do have issues with them is it even related to Samael?

As for having proper synergies with those familiars, at the moment that would actually be really difficult for me to do due to API limitations so it's not exactly high priority for me right now.

[2] is an ACTUAL bug, so thank you for reporting that.

Ferryman's Ticket trinket spawns a Ferryman in the corner of ??? (Blue Womb), and using it made the game crash.

EDIT: I can't dupe it, so I IDK lol.

Damocles + spirit of acceptance snaps the entire game in half. (It snaps into THIRDS, if you also throw in spirit of bargaining. Or black candle, but I don't remember if that counters spirit of acceptance's curse of the blind or not.)

To be specific, it spawns an absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of items.

Didn't get the achievement for reaching home as regular Samuel, is there some condition I am missing or is this a bug?
Ghostbroster Connor  [developer] Feb 23, 2023 @ 2:11pm 
Hi there - do you mean the achievement for finding Tainted Samael in the closet? If so, did you open the hidden closet and interact with the character inside, like how you unlock normal Tainted characters? Or are you referring to the achievement for beating The Beast?

It's possible some sort of error occured, since others have been able to get 100% completion with Samael.

If it happens again, it might help if you send me your log file right afterwards:

<My Documents>/My Games/Binding of Isaac Repentance/log.txt

Email: ghostbroster@gmail.com
Discord: Connor#2143

Note that the log file is wiped clean each time you start up the game, so I'd guess the log from the run where this happened last is long gone.

Flat Worm doesn't properly make Samael's projectiles wide, specifically at higher damage.

I realised its the tainted samael unlock, everything is working as intended. I was just a bit confused by achievement description "Reach home with Samael".

Samael and T. Samael's exclusive costumes are unremovable with Sinsthar's Old Wardrobe mod.

And here's a weird one I can't explain: When playing with Tainted Samael (and probably affects regular Samael), there's a point where red room entrances just stop appearing and rendering items that open them unusable. This bug becomes global and affects all characters after this bug shows up until I reboot the game. At first I thought it had to do with picking up Dead Dove but I can't replicate it. It could even very well not have to do with Samael at all but I only got the bug to activate twice whenever I played T. Samael. Maybe worth looking into?

I didn't get to replicate the bug during my last instance of the game but I'll make sure to send a log file next time I get the bug to trip.

MgTexture and likely other retexture mods makes samael/death statue in fragments glitched out. Pic related https://imgur.com/a/qdV8aVF
