Samael

Description
Play as Samael, the angel of death.

Samael


The classic melee character from 2017! Attack with your scythe by tapping any direction. Holding a direction charges up a projectile for situations where you need one. Either way, dealing damage charges up Samael's pocket active "Malakh Mot", which when activated will give you a brief period of invincibility with faster, automatic melee attacks (no need to mash anymore!) so you can get in a flurry of melee attacks against enemies that are difficult to approach.

Tainted Samael ("The Inevitable")


Tainted Samael still has his scythe, but lacks Samael's standard charge-up ranged attack. His pocket active, "Memento Mori", places a sigil on the ground. Up to five sigils can be placed, drawing out a path. Double-tapping the button for "Memento Mori" will trigger an invincible attack where Samael slashes backwards along the path of the sigils, damaging all enemies in his way. Each slash in a sequence is stronger than the last, so try to catch a boss between all 5 sigils for massive damage! You shoot a projectile when the attack finishes, so in a pinch you can fire at enemies from a distance in a "slingshot" fashion.

Tainted Samael is locked by default, obtainable via the standard tainted character method. But if you'd like to unlock him manually, you do so using Samael's in-game options menu (press C or F1 by default) or by using this console command:
samael unlocktainted

Unlockables

This mod now features built-in completion mark tracking and over 20 unlocks!

Samael's completion marks can be viewed on the pause screen, or in Samael's in-game option menu (press C or F1 by default).

If you've already had your fill of non-tainted Samael, you can give yourself all of his completion marks using this console command:
samael unlockall

Note that this command does NOT give you any of Tainted Samael's completion marks or unlocks!

If you want to have ALL of this mod's items unlocked by default, or disable them entirely, you can do so via Samael's in-game options menu (press C or F1 by default).

does rep+ with repentogon make this work?
batphinn 24 Nov @ 4:30am 
it'd be so cool if this was afterbirth and not rep, because i dont have rep:steammocking:

Oh i just got one nvm then it´s a chance

How does the Ferryman work? I unlocked him but never have seen him in any floor since then. I thought it´s a guranteed chance for it to appear. Anyone knows if i´m just wrong and how high the chance is?
batphinn 19 Nov @ 5:08pm 
man i wish there were some of these melee characters that work with afterbirth+ not requiring rep. :(

Oh right, I drew a painting for Samael, but I don't know why I can't post it on Twitter. It says I'm automated (maybe it thinks I'm a bot), so I came to Steam to ask you.:slugcatsleep:

Perhaps it's for some challenges, after all, Samael's scythe is much easier to pick up than other characters originally (except for Lost, the forgotten one) :D
Ghostbroster Connor  [author] 9 Nov @ 9:08am 
No problem, glad it was something simple at least

I'm not entirely sure why i even made that an option. I wonder if anyone out there prefers scythe pickup disabled... I guess that's how Samael was for many years originally, lol

Oh, oh, I found it. Maybe at some point I accidentally turned off the scythe pickup (you fool:steamfacepalm:). Anyway, thank you very much.:resmile::resmile::resmile:

It being device dependent doesn't really make any sense. Though there can be other differences, like somehow having different mods installed or outdated versions of some mods.

I guess samael does have an option to disable scythe pickups (for some reason). At the start of the run you can open his menu with `C` -> Samael and find the gameplay options. Though it is not super likely you'd have disabled that option by accident.
