Gameplay changes:

- Tainted Azazel now sneezes automatically when charging instead of when releasing a partial charge
- Hitting enemies with Tainted Azazel’s sneeze cuts the remaining charge time in half
- Hitting enemies with Tainted Azazel’s sneeze inflicts them with a Brimstone Curse which makes them more vulnerable to Brimstone attacks and causes them to explode when killed by Brimstone
- Tainted Eve’s clots are no longer lost when recalled by Sumptorium if she has full health, instead they will drop to the ground next to her
- Tainted Eve’s clots now start with 15 HP when spawned and slowly decay down to 1 HP (5 HP for non-red hearts)
- When playing as Tainted Lazarus, all items that spawn as part of a room layout (such as a treasure room or a shop) now have an alternate form which can be accessed using Flip, even after they have been picked up

- Tainted Eden no longer rerolls on fatal damage

- Bag of Crafting can now purchase pickups on sale in a shop
- Tainted Lilith’s fetus now automatically aims at nearby enemies
- Tainted Jacob can now pick up health when in ghost form (this does not prevent him from dying in one hit)

- Dark Esau’s charge now ignores boss armor
- Using Anima Sola in a room with no enemies as Tainted Jacob now immediately summons Dark Esau
- Updated the list of items Tainted Lost/Birthright Lost can find (fixes being able to find Yuck Heart, or not being able to find Holy Water)
- Donation machines now explode upon being bombed. Most donation progress is retained, but the machines do not reappear for the remainder of the run.

- Rocket in a Jar now aims purely based on the player’s aim direction (normal bombs are placed if the player is not attacking)
- Piercing Dr. Fetus bombs now inflict contact damage when passing through enemies
- Dr. Fetus + Rocket in a Jar + Polyphemus now fires piercing rockets that can explode twice
- Mom’s Knife now synergizes with Technology and Tech X (similar to the Forgotten’s thrown bone)
- Trisagion shots now trigger on-hit effects only when touching enemies or obstacles
- The Bean and most fart sources now push enemies, bombs and pickups
- Reduced the volume of farts from Jupiter
- Picking up items granted by Satanic Bible now counts as taking a devil deal (disabling future angel rooms)

- Devil deals can now be taken for free when under the Lost’s curse (obtained by touching a white fire place or using Soul of the Lost), however this will cause other purchasable items in the room to disappear
- Glass Cannon no longer breaks on self inflicted damage
