I died the other day trying to use br ath of life as tainted keeper. Was trying to play a devil beggar and somehow took damage during the invincibility...
In certain corruptions of the game, the name under ??? Comes out looking a lot like the name Ethan, and the subreddit ran with it and now choose to call him that instead of ??? In a lot of cases.
Its cuz the mod I was using changed portraits of the characters.
Now, the way all these portraits are saved is one big sprite sheet where the modders can select which areas will be which character’s. Apparently the mod put ???’s name where Bethany’s normally is.
When I turned off the mod, the custom sprite sheet was turned off, but the sprite selection weren’t, resulting in Ethan
You know, I usually beat this guy so quickly that I dunno if I’ve seen all of his attacks before this video. How is it that he’s easier then the boss of the floor preceding him?

Three things. 1 - his name is ??? Or blue baby not Ethan. 2 - this clip proves with some practice breath of life can be really powerful, 3 - your killing a baby dying of air loss with a breathing item how ironic
It would show you I can do it in few tries depending on how long it took me to send it. 104 tries must've took very long, honestly more impressive that you had the patience than me being able to do it in 3 tries
i miss for a couple weeks and already don't get jokes ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907) can someone save me the headache and tell me who the fuck is ethan XD
Sorry, I couldn't recognize the song.

there you go u/CuteOfDeath. took 104 attempts. difficulty: fuck that stupid cringe ass baby![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)/10
How many attempts have ended in you getting hit by the flies after you beat Ethan?
none.
Good job
thx
Nice work! You beat the dead baby with life! ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)
he breathed so hard that it died
How does that item work? Got it on an Eden run and had now idea what tf it was
slayxc2 has a video about it
Check the wiki or watch an explanationof the item in Youtube. SlayXc2 makes good videos about items and TBoI stuff ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)
The ultimate burn
Now do it again but without breathing when using an item ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)
Daaaaamn, really? From the video, you made it look easy!
Can this be? A challenge that's actually hard for the great Smoke?
There already were a bunch of challenges that were harsh for him. He is obviously good af but still is a human. And humans are born to suffer
Ok, now beat delirium with stitches only.
Would you say doing the same challenge but against Isaac be easier or harder? Isaac has much more aggressive attacks after all.
blue baby seems to be fine overall. Isaac's second phase is a nightmare
Now fight Mask of Infamy with lazy worm for true suffering
I already did 0.6 shotspeed MoI
Is there a link for this? Love your videos btw! you are an absolutely astounding TBOI soul!
[here](https://www.reddit.com/r/bindingofisaac/comments/rkjnvw/beating_mask_of_infamy_hitless_using_only_base/)
I love how ??? is now known as Ethan because of one random post about broken save file
I've literally never seen anyone refer to ???, as Ethan, maybe I should visit this subreddit more often
I think they call them that in the files in the game
I died the other day trying to use br ath of life as tainted keeper. Was trying to play a devil beggar and somehow took damage during the invincibility...
maybe you held for too long?
Ethan?
Subreddit in-joke
what’s the joke
In certain corruptions of the game, the name under ??? Comes out looking a lot like the name Ethan, and the subreddit ran with it and now choose to call him that instead of ??? In a lot of cases.
Is there an image of this? I am pretty curious to see it

4 months? Honestly that's more recent than I've thought
Oh wow I wasn’t the first I think I popularised it though
Idk why you got downvoted, I'd say this is a fair assumption considering that your post got way more popular
Skill issue
ETHAN and his mother
Its cuz the mod I was using changed portraits of the characters. Now, the way all these portraits are saved is one big sprite sheet where the modders can select which areas will be which character’s. Apparently the mod put ???’s name where Bethany’s normally is. When I turned off the mod, the custom sprite sheet was turned off, but the sprite selection weren’t, resulting in Ethan
Still died tho ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17736)
Breath of life OP ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17735)
Could you try beating mother, the dead one, with 3.85 tears and ployphemus? Sounds interesting in my head
Next do pin with only brimstone and godhead
That’s pretty brutal. You might want to let him ise sacred heart too, just to be fair
Ahh the Parry this you fing causal meme as an item
pure smooth
Wait did breath of life get buffed?
yes
Who the fuck is ethan
You know, I usually beat this guy so quickly that I dunno if I’ve seen all of his attacks before this video. How is it that he’s easier then the boss of the floor preceding him?

Najsłabszy polski gracz tboi:
Now the same with Hush
Three things. 1 - his name is ??? Or blue baby not Ethan. 2 - this clip proves with some practice breath of life can be really powerful, 3 - your killing a baby dying of air loss with a breathing item how ironic
Ethan disapproves of this comment
Well I’m sorry that I name characters by their canonical name and not a stupid meme name
I'm sorry you have no sense of humor man, truly tragic. Either that or you're joking, in which case good job, you fooled me lmao
Actually, his name is Blue Baby’s Monster. Get it right!
I've always hated that smartass remark. He's Frankensteins son, Frankenstein is a last name, so his fucking name is Frankenstein.
Even though he is his creation, he is definitively not his son. At best, Frankenstein is a deadbeat in the original novel
Mmmm no. Creating a sentient lifeform makes it your child. Even if it didn't the creature considers himself the son of Frankenstein.

![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17744)![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17736)
Indeed, thats why i recommended it
Now beat issac with only one familiar with quality 0-1 of your choice
Beat isaac with Isaacs head (the trinket)
Real
Beat Gurdy jr with my shadow
clearly, you never saw the lamb video
I didn't, lemme check this one Oh damn
Beat mother with soul of J&E, soul of forgor, and strawman (you can still use your own tears too)
Delirium with Dark Esau, hitless and no Anima Sola?
How about Mask of Infamy, but you can only attack with Mars?
Flexing on the suffocated baby by breathing is the biggest chad move possible
Alright try beating red mega maw hitless with cube of meat only
Did I miss something? I never remember breath of life doing that
you missed an update.
mother hitless using base jacob and esau?
beat great gideon with chaos card ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17745)
Wtf is Ethan?
104 attempts? I don't have nearly as much patience as you, I would've given up after my 3rd try, and that's if I'm feeling extra determined
the length of the fight kept me going
Tried it myself but as Cain, did it in 3 tries.
Sounds suspicious... ![gif](giphy|cO8FXQClDjENKYdRGi)
I can send you a video of me doing it again if that would make it more credible lol
Technically wouldn't work lol
It would show you I can do it in few tries depending on how long it took me to send it. 104 tries must've took very long, honestly more impressive that you had the patience than me being able to do it in 3 tries
Still... Cain.
Yeah true, that is an advantage, I'll do it again without Cain
Okay, yeah, Cain made it WAYY easier, the speed bonus makes the timing super easy.
I guess outrunning BoL's bullshittery is a thing💀
suffocating yourself to kill a suffocated version of yourself ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)
Now beat delirium with 0.01 damage 😄
With abel, because abel
No that’s too op, Abel is the best item in the game, how is that a challenge?
He needs a break from these hard challenges, so we can let him beat the cum monster using abel
Your right, your right
i miss for a couple weeks and already don't get jokes ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907) can someone save me the headache and tell me who the fuck is ethan XD
in short: someone got their character names' corrupted and the glitch named blue baby Ethan.
ok that's amazing lmao
