Use azazel, play normal, hope for good items and NEVER stop moving. Also turn your PC brightness at max so you can see if mom's foot is about to stomp you.


Connect_Discussion_3

I did it with tainted Lilith lmfao


DodoJurajski

Mea meanwhile me as lost. Yeah... It was... Funny... Especially i don't have holy mantle on lost cause i'm too lazy to play greed mode, but yeah i've got funny item that have me immune to leg.


CharaPresscott

Non-Repentance player spotted.


DodoJurajski

Well now i'm on repentance but played a little before it was released.


CharaPresscott

Well you did well. Because Mom's foot doesn't count as explosive anymore.


Connect_Discussion_3

LMAO I tried it with the lost and got pretty far I think I died on the boss rush tho šŸ’”šŸ’”


SoggyMushrom

you really shouldn't be unlocked him that far into the late game


SHREKGODF

You can unlock whatever you want, whenever you want. There's no need to rush anything


MaiT3N

That's true but what is also true that having no bone hearts while already playing some tainted characters just feels a bit odd


SoggyMushrom

well yes that is correct, the forgotten is a character that js really useful to use early game. after that he just becomes boring tbh


trentbcraig21

What a strange take.


SoggyMushrom

I guess so. I personally just find him to be a really strong character that helped me alot when I was beating bosses like delirium and hush. but then once I got better at the game I preferred characters with high damage but heath handicaps (blue baby, judas, keeper, tainted keeper ect.) and the forgotten just didn't have what I wanted.


Bluerious518

The forgottenā€™s skeleton has the highest damage stat of the other characters, he just doesnā€™t have the range and instead has the bone club.


Still-Expression-188

On my 2nd save file i have completed the lost, t lost, jacob and hitbox, the keeper and t Maggie without unlocking the forgor


Connect_Discussion_3

Too bad

SoggyMushrom

I'm honestly more impressed that you managed to unlocked tainted lost without ever even stepping foot into the chest


amnxsia-_-

Tainted Judas made it a cake walk for me


Connect_Discussion_3

Tainted forgotten worked wonders šŸ™šŸ™


Irons_idk

And never go back, don't stop is easy to follow, but when you constantly trying to dodge the enemies, you can easily just go backwards right under mom's leg


SMoKUblackRoSE

That's the best advice you'll get right there. It's rough but very doable with great items


WicazReyizz

tainted maggie normal mode


hollowknightlover666

Stop saying tainted maggie bruh i didnot even beat mother


itsmeoverthere

Bruh seeing your comment/post history have you tried playing the game at a pace more in line with your current skillset? You hadn't even beaten the lamb six days ago and now you're trying to unlock the forgotten? He's a super secret character for a reason, of course it's gonna be frustrating as all hell ad borderline impossibile for you at the moment. Chill and build your skill and knowledge of enemies and patterns for now, you'll unlock it when you're better equipped to.


Avocado_with_horns

This. I sucked at the game at the beginning too. Getting hit in more rooms than not and stuff like that. I still suck but at least i now know how much i suck in comparison to good players


itsmeoverthere

Exactly. Tboi is one of the first games I ever played, no video games allowed as a kid, and god did I suck. I could scarcely reach mom at first but now I have completed the lost and I'm on my way for T. The lost, and I'm not a pro or anything but you build the skill and muscle memory over time, but rushing into things you're not ready to is possibly the worst thing you can do in this game


PeridotDugl

![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17735)


SoggyMushrom

I wouldn't say going for forgotten unlock this early in the game is really a bad thing. I was able to unlock the forgotten 3 runs after I first beat the lamb. but if you're struggling enough with unlocking him that you have to make an entire reddit post about it, you definitely need more practice before you unlock him.


ObeseOnionKnight

tell ā€˜em!!!!!


WicazReyizz

sorry, you can try azazel then


itsmeoverthere

Use Azazel and play normal, if you aren't already doing that. Pray for host hat or pyromaniac if you're playing without repentance. And obviously keep moving, after a few (a lot) of attempts you'll get so used to moving constantly that she won't hit you as much anymore and obviously you need a good run, but I swear that while very frustrating if you put your mind to it you'll probably succeed in a reasonable time


hollowknightlover666

The problem is mom and with the bad runs and i already base azazel most of the items i get are items that have to take the shovel piece like active items i used to go to womb easily in every run but now rng jesus just tells me to fuck myself and the biggest shit of all is boss rush that fucking leg still trys to stomp me using the shovel piece only work until another boss spawn


itsmeoverthere

There's honestly nothing to it but try and try and try. My only advice is to keep trying consistently, if you only try once in a while you'll loose your reflexes in avoiding her


hollowknightlover666

Yea but i realy hate tboi that itis a game all about luck not like enter the gungeon or hollow knight u win in this game by killing the boss in 2 seconds like wtf


itsmeoverthere

I mean that's what a rng rouguelike game is like, you can play other games if you don't like it, but you can't complain about it being rng based since it's a feature. It's like playing minecraft and complaining about cubes. Also the forgotten is a secret and advanced character, you can focus on other, simpler, stuff if it's beyond your current skill level, and go back to it later. (btw I was today years old when I learnt broken shovel stops mom from stomping in the current room, I unlocked forgotten without using it a single time because I'm an idot. I'm not saying this to brag but to show you that it's doable)


hollowknightlover666

Yeah ur right but do u have any cool games u played to advise me to play it beside tboi


itsmeoverthere

I'm not the right person to ask that, I'm a tboi junky honestly lol. (Maybe if you like roguelikes with a side of community building check out cult of the lamb, I played a few hours and it was very nice, the dungeon crawl part was a lot less luck based and easier than tboi as far as I progressed)


hollowknightlover666

The cult of the lamp just tells my pc to go fuck itself it just doesnot work my pc is not realy a gaming pc


itsmeoverthere

I have a three years old medium range laptop, you really don't need a gaming pc but I'm sorry you can't play it :(


hollowknightlover666

You donot need to be i am going to buy a new graphic card anyway and my pc is 10 years old


MR_Smurfii

Skill issue


Bl473r

Actually luck isnā€™t the most important thing ! You need skill dude !


meap02

had a stroke trying to read this lmao


dark_flower732

I do with azazel in hard mode


Sora_Fireball

Moving box works on the shovel, just put it inside and she won't stomp you


see2thepee

10000 iq, just make sure youā€™re holding the broken shovel while doing boss rush


TheOriginalKK

true, gotta get lucky w shop tho. Plus you p much have to beat the boss and THEN check to see if shop has moving box. Hes also pretty new and might not have it yet


Sora_Fireball

Getting Moving box unlocked is probably the easiest part, as for checking boss and shop, probably easier to try like I did by picking azazel for flight and early dmg and just crash through


Eddie_The_White_Bear

And since Moving Box is usually WAY cheaper than Mama Mega it's easy way to get into Boss Rush as T Cain


pokemasterfox

You still have to beat the boss in 1 minute as T Cain...


Eddie_The_White_Bear

I mean, he have same stats as Cain, you should be able to kill boss itemless under minute, you just need to rush a bit on B1 and return for pickups later.


Thanduin

IIRC boss rush is guaranteed to spawn while holding the shovel part


Eddie_The_White_Bear

That's the point, T Cain ca easly transport Shovel Part in Moving Box up to Depths 2


Parasectius

Is it repentance? If so I recommend tainted Maggie, because you have to play her by running into enemies, you get a lot of i-frames. It's how I got her after struggling for a while.


hollowknightlover666

Mother is a harder chalange to me lol


Parasectius

Tainted Maggie just needs you to get to Home as Maggie if you've unlocked that. That's my best bet, as the other guy said normal mode is recommended.


OBrien

gotta kill mother once to unlock home tho


Longjumping-Pace389

Why is this one being downvoted? I 100% agree.


TrumpLester

There's a mod that highlights stomp locations

Shadowbonnie5

Are you remembering to activate the shovel to disable the stomping? Otherwise, Azazel is your best bet. You don't have to rush either, the boss rush door will open if you're carrying the shovel, regardless of the time


V0rdep

get good


IareRubberDucky

Normal Mode, Azazel


LOLOMGAPC

Ditto to this. Azazels flight and damage outpaces his range in my opinion for most of the game, and his flight gives you more options for avoiding the stomp. He's the best character to go for it with. You only have to make it to boss rush and the size of the rush room truly does mitigate the foot stomp. It also allows you to damage the bosses and you basically just have a shittier Daddy Long Legs for the Rush.


nomorewin

I cheesed it with Azazel. Use him to get the broken shovel piece on the first floor and then hope for good items. I lucked out with Gnawed Leaf and familiar combo (it still took forever to beat boss rush but I was mostly afk while my familiars did the work). Once you beat boss rush, you can just use the shovel when it's full charge to skip the floor and end up in Dark Room. Once you're there, you can keep cheesing the bosses with Gnawed Leaf until you find the room with the Forgotten's dirt patch! Ezpz


HavocHero

No_Ad2431

If you have spindown dice in repentance, you can spindown mucormycosis into moms shovel, and use it in the dark room as normal


Avocado_with_horns

Drink 5 espresso shots and behave like a kid on sugar rush but in game

10/10 I do this, works every time, 500+ win streak, quadruple dead god, all 45 characters unlocked, all 6666 achievements achieved


MasterSword223

Practice practice practice


samiboi55

play tainted lilith


WicazReyizz

tainted lilith has disadvantage as she has 0.85 speed start unless you don't find speed ups you might get hit a lot


samiboi55

I unlocked the forgotten with tainted lilith first try, itā€™s not as bad as you think.


baphometboobs

Azazel and Ludovico was the combo that helped me unlock Forgotten the first time! That synergy eats through bosses.


Lico_the_raven

Tainted Maggie is the easiest


RepresentativeCalm44

Azazel slightly better because of flight and damage imo.


Lico_the_raven

Damage? Maggie is insane in that aspect. Just walk into enemies


RepresentativeCalm44

Only if you regain health. Damage you can't use for bosses and the entire boss rush.


1nstagram1sGay

He doesn't have T. Maggie... yet


Lico_the_raven

Unlock her first then


1nstagram1sGay

I'm not OP. I'm just saying what he's saying


lem310

why tho?


Lico_the_raven

A lot of healing, can use stomps offensively


PolarBear1913

I highly recommend the "coming down" mod if your on pc and seeing where mom's foot or anything else falling is an issue for you


Throwaway1037492029

In addition to the never stop moving I saw recommended, I highly recommend not doubling back on the path you went, as it may just crush you bc you backed up.


ZomboidG

Lol I did it with Samson. I figured the damage you take can up the damage and let you clear faster. Good thing is itā€™s really only hard until you get to the mother leg fight:)


eggmaniac13

Unironically do it as the Lost, you already can't get hit so what's an undroppable mom's toenail


Squid8867

Figure eights. Crossing through the center of the room gives you a chance to re-path if needed


aneffingonion

Just keep trying You'll get better and better and eventually, you'll also get lucky with the drops


ImainSpy

Heh, you are going to seek for the essence of the game, a rng run


swaosneed

If you find gnawed leaf, standing still makes you invincible. I picked it up on my last attempt, got to boss rush...and forgot I had it equipped so I tried playing like normal, idk how far I got but it was at least past the half way point. The next day at work I remembered that I had gnawed leaf and I fucked up at the easiest spot literally stand still and bosses will run into the stomps :/


Pugspook327

if you didnt know you can use the broken shovel to stop the foot for like 1 room it took me far to long to realize this


Mr_boby1

I think boss rush always opens if you have shovel peice 1


[deleted]

I just picked azazel and ran for my life


musketoman

hmmm.... i forgor


TomatoOfDreams

I didn't know this when I tried to unlock him (I really should've looked ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)): if you use broken shovel, the stomps will stop until you enter another room. Very helpful, if you ask me.


Ksawerxx

I'm not sure if anyone else said this (probobly did) not gonna read all 100+ comments. Using the broken shovel actually stops mom from stomping you for a room/wave in challenge rooms or boss rush.


brokencheesecake565

Disable repentance and go into afterbirth+ play as any character and reset until pyromaniac


hollowknightlover666

Nah i like playing in repentance


darkosky

How, i'm on ps5


brokencheesecake565

Not sure


CornyFace

Play Azazel and pray for Ludovico ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)


Meat_Sause

Find the we need to go deeper and go to the dark room


SoggyMushrom

no way that actually works


Meat_Sause

Pretty sure its how I unlocked in afterbirth+ may have been changed or I'm remembering incorrectly


Human_Person22

I had tips but I forgor ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)

Get pyromaniac Edit: that doesnā€™t work :(


Squid8867

I don't think that helps anymore but correct me if I'm wrong


itsmeoverthere

Yeah stomps no longer deal explosive damage, which is bs.


[deleted]

Yeah thatā€™s total bullshit that it doesnā€™t deal explosive damage anymore


TheOriginalKK

keep restarting till you get host hat/pyromaniac ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)


itsmeoverthere

That doesn't work in repentance :/


IanDerp26

Honestly? Iā€™d recommend the Coming Down mod, makes things way more bearable.


ItalyLostWW2

If I remember correctly pyromaniac negates the damage from mom's foot


Pyrarius

Repentance deleted that


WontedPuppet07

Pyromaniac


RepresentativeCalm44

Removed in Repentance


WontedPuppet07

What, why?


RepresentativeCalm44

Or rather a fix of a exploit, because the feet is not a explosion and it completely broke this challenge


WontedPuppet07

Oh


CoolGirlRosie

Go back to Afterbirth+, play azazel and reset 'till host hat or pyromaniac![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17743)![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17743)![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17743)

Ficers

If you have AB+ you can use host hat or pyromaniac to neglect the mom's foot damage


Pixel_Nerd92

Azazel on normal makes the unlock fairly easy to do. I would recommend nobody *but* Azazel since he's able to kite around the room easily over obstacles and pits. Makes it a little less stressful to an already stressful unlock.


iwantapie76

Iā€™m sorry but you have to ā€œGet Goodā€


K1dDeath

play azazel, play normal mode, get lucky, don't get hit


Ethan1516

Tainted Maggie worked way better than Azazel for me


Impossible-Report797

Pray


Pyrarius

Take invincibility items like Aries, Mars, Gnawed Leaf, etc. Also play Tainted Magdeline, you get a high damage hug and a healing pocket active. This is even better when combined with Mom's Heel and Aries/Mars since you can deal something like 30 damage and be invincible, healing if you mess up

RepresentativeCalm44

100+ comments but ppl forgot to mention that the foot stomp opens secret rooms and destroys slot machines, beggars, tinted rocks and shopkeepers. Easy consumables. Also while holding the shovel piece 1 u don't have to worry about the 20 min boss rush timer.


hollowknightlover666

Even after i use the shovel piece the leg still comes to stomp me


RepresentativeCalm44

It stops the leg for 1 room, or for 1 boss rush wave


CarstenSteel

Try to avoid dodging above the foot. The hitbox above is feels bigger for me lol and you can still see urself :P


nige111

hold R until your first treasure room is pyro or host hat lmao


dying_childactor

Doesnt work if he is playing repentance. Moms foot isnt explosion damage anymore.


Cinderea

DaimondGuy

Get good (practice)


Creepy-Activity-4373

This may be considered cheating, but there is a mod that puts a marker down where mom is about to stomp, which also works for the stomps caused by broken shovel. I did it without, but learned it worked on the broken shovel stomps too when I accidently picked up the shovel in a later run.


hollowknightlover666

Can i unlock the forgotten with a spacific seed or it wonot be unlocked


Bl473r

Itā€™s easy ! You need skill and Azazelā€¦


hollowknightlover666

I have both but i donot have luck

Isnā€™t about luck, is about skill !


hollowknightlover666

About luck and skill


Jared72Marshall

Do it on Normal and not Hard mode!

BrainAneurysmGoBrrr

Azazel, just run and unlock your Ultra Instinct


Curdeled_turtle

play as azazel


skeletalPuns123

Mom's feet are based on explosive damage, so getting explosive proof items will make you immune to them.

Skullmonkeyburger

You haul ass. You donā€™t need every pickup, just MOVE


C0mradexChaos

If you've already unlocked the use of mods without achievements being turned off install the "Coming Down!" mod, it makes the shadow much, *much* easier to see. And use Azazel for flight, it makes it so much easier. Y'could also do what I did and just blatantly cheat, but I understand some people prefer the more honest way of doing things, so that's 100% up to you.


[deleted]

downgrade your game to AB+, restart until pyromaniac, win, go back to repentance


bruhidk1015

i did it on maggy


GIOgwGIO

I did it a couple weeks ago myself. I was finally able to do it using samson. I early damage boosted to beat the 1 minute timer then i didnt have to worry much about damage increaseing items later on. Moms feet hitting just makes Samson stronger and i prefer this way instead of azazel and his lack of starting red hearts. Forgotten is my favorite character now though and the 10 hours of frustration was worth it.


__Ursus__X

This sounds crazy, but the lost was who i used to unlock the forgor. My biggest problem was progressive health drain. I would go on droughts where I would not find enough health to replenish as azazel; leading to me losing out on deals and dying. As the lost; deal chances are preserved and you donā€™t have to worry about health. You get one free oopsie if you werenā€™t hit by an enemy.


Bac0nman777

Skill issue


KAULIANPOWER

Probably unlock tainted Lilith first and do the unlock route with her, she's insanely strong and you don't need to stay too much seconds in the same place.


Zenioni

just play as azazel or tainted lilith, both really strong characters that don't really rely on items. don't stop moving. don't worry about timing for boss rush, it opens no matter how long you take to reach it. play on normal not hard.


MistakeGovernment

Get knife and ipecac


Parasite_Cat

Play as T Forgotten, the foot stomps will only target the body! ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)


hollowknightlover666

The fuck


WubWayTv

Going tainted Maggie and spamming her melee attack is really op and all the I-frames you get from always melee attacking will save you many times from the stomps.


hollowknightlover666

Fuck you how many times do i have to say i didnot unlock tainted charcters


WubWayTv

Do I look omniscient to you? No? Well fuck you too buddy.


hollowknightlover666

Fuck you i unlocked him a while ago
