The Hardest Challenge in Isaac History (TBOI: Fiend Folio) 

It went extremly fast from "this is easy" to "just end me".

"Oh, you're an Isaac fan? Then fight every single enemy!"

"'would you freaking die for 25 cents?' just kill me"

Me at the beginning: "He's only going to win with gnawed leaf and orbital" Me at the end: Dear God, he's done it

The best play I’ve seen in a long time, plus he’s bald

You know what would go well with this run? The music from ALT F4...

Starts Dad's Home+ and immediately takes 9 Lives. The pog is real.

I’m sitting here at 3 minutes and thinking how can my mans go on for another 50

Boys cheered during Endgame Men cheered during the Famine fight

People can say he got lucky all they want, but I'm betting they couldn't pull off 45:39 if they tried. That skill earned the W

47:24 Had me more pogged than I've ever been in my entire life.

The Pog Play is at 45:48

That famine play was absolutely incredible

This is like calling sky diving without a parachute a "Challenge mode".

Getting out of being trapped in the Horseman fight with half a heart has to be the GREATEST PLAY in NL's whole career.

47:24 he is a god

That gnawed leaf play almost makes me forget about the pot play.

Hardest challenge? Coulda fooled me. The egg made this challenge look over easy.

This was hilarious to watch, but I can't imagine the creator of this actually expecting anyone to ever beat this in a non-cheesy or cheating way. It's far too broken when you're getting hit when you spawn or entering rooms you can't even move in. Still, I enjoyed seeing you give it a fair amount of time. Now let's leave and never look back at it again.

47:25 I've been waiting for a moment like that since the infamous dry baby run.

When the Duke kept multiplying I couldn’t stop laughing, incredible content

That famine play was so clutch. Love it

15:20 that skip hurt a lot One of the best possible First Floor for this xD

I like how NL is so chill while Hutts was screaming for days trying to beat the challenge...all hail the egg lord

That play on the last run was amazing! God tier gaming skill EggMan

The famine fight was actually the most pogged thing I’ve seen in years

He's actually done it, the madman. The gourd of pog is overflowing

Someone get Jelmerlicious we have a saltshaker incoming

After all those 'Must be a speedrun' comments on Spelunky 2 videos the madman actually finished this challenge way faster than Sin and wayyyy faster than Hutts. Great job Mr Egg

47:20 Was dead certain he missed his chance for this blessed run but then he came out with that incredible POG! Absolutely deserved win brother

"Fiend folio is an awesome mod" has real pained energy in the description.

Nine lives was the perfect item to show you what this challenge is. So funny!

based on the difficulty of this challenge, i didnt expect you to beat it in this episode. i was very positively surprised :D

NL beating this in only 56 minutes is crazy impressive. also, the play to stay alive at half a heart in that first boss was amazing! I would have been so dead.

Mr. Egg thank you for many years of entertainment

43:35 When you think you are playing Isaac, but it was Donkey Kong all along. Ah fuck he says it himself

:D

As soon as I found out what this challenge was my brain did go "ah, it's the gnawed leaf orbital run"

Hey NL Your videos have been helping out a lot while I am still in the hospital. I hope your days are going great keep it up my man. Hope you doing good.

some of the best isaac content on the channel, and I think it's an easy sum up of alot of the best videos he's had, with drybaby gnawed leaf, the absolutely top tier dodges and plays during 45:48, and the fact of the matter is the video only got 48k views. It's sad to see an end to this series, but from northernlions perspective I can see why he's cancelling isaac after the new update. Terrible analytics no matter what I did in the game would give me an existential crisis. Can't imagine what that's like if you're relying on youtube to make a living. You're awesome egg papa, keep making that delicious content.

As someone who has been subscribed for about 7 years, I'll say I love your videos, and your intelligence is at *least* above average! Also that escape from the mosh pit in that blue Famine fight was godly lol

I don't want to hear anyone say you ''cheesed'' this challenge, you earned it. That Famine play was nothing short of god-level gaming.

He did it. The mad lad actually did it. That had to be at /least/ top 3 in isaac moments

The egg achieved the Gnawed Leaf play on that famine fight

"i don't even know which one of you scumbags is the boss" killed me

yknow, ive been lurking on your channel for a while and never realized i wasnt subscribed, but that horseman play aroused such awe in me that i had to double check and hit that beautiful button

I will admit NO complaints or any bullshit about how he did it, he fucking EARNED that. He deserved to be rewarded for his patience

I have NEVER seen such a poggy moment as that Famine fight... HOLY shit.

The reason they made this is because they made an error that causes the mobs to carry over so they kept it in and made it a challenge.

That's actually amazing. I thought he would need so much longer to get lucky. That famine play was absolutely amazing too

Bro the first item is so fitting

that moment of realization was pure pog

I didn't know how this worked until he went into the boss room. It only got better when the boss started spawning in the boss room with the boss. "Yo I heard you like..."

Anyone who thinks that was cheese doesn’t understand the poggy of that famine fight

Holy shit, NL. Nicely frickin' played. To me, that challenge seemed like it just existed to be a meme, but you found a way through.

one of the best isaac runs i've ever seen. keep shining

“I’m ready for this” But he was not ready for this

Missed stream, hyped to watch

Woah I never knew you could see how long everybody has been subscribed for. I literally have been subscribed to NL for exactly 50% of my entire life on earth I don't know how to feel about that

This was some truly amazing play. Awesome to see.

Love this new isaac content, super refreshing

Sinvicta beat this... With BROTHER BOBBY you coward!

THE FAMINE BOSS ESCAPE PLAY HOLY SHIT 47:10

This is the most POG Isaac video by my favourite RU-vidr with below average gameplay but above average commentary.

Was waiting for you to try this!

Wow, that famine-play... bow down to the egglord!!

This was tremendously entertaining, thank you.

SPOILER: 47:24 Saw this live and when NL had to make the perfect play I was standing up like it was a soccer match and they were doing penalty kicks. When he made his way out of this I was actually jumping up and down like crazy pogged out of my mind.

I have no idea how long it took other people, but I'm impressed you managed to get through this shit fest so quickly

that was legit so insane i started laughing thinking you wouldn't escape. AND THE MAD LAD DID IT

I'll be honest, I quite often go "what are you doing" and then I play the game and either make the same mistake or, much to my disappointment, a much worse one, and then I see you play tetris and go "how does his brain work so fast!" but overall good content creator, average gamer, but darn funny.

47:20 is like watching a replay of a level in Superhot

northernlion, 19/10 luckbuild

Kinda cheesy win con but I can't blame you for it on this challenge. lol Plus that escape from the enemies rubbing up on you at 47:24 was awesome. Well done.

Gnawed Leaf, a library with Book of Revelations/item room with Sacrificial Dagger would be PagChomp just to see how crazy this can get late game but other than that it's insanely dumb. Edit - HOLY POGO'S THAT FAMINE FIGHT.

I want that ''Don't care, didn't ask plus you're bald'' meme

Any doubters of Lord Eggs gaming skills forever be silenced and all believers bathe in the light of pog after the Isaac play of the millenia

Always pogged to see new life born into Isaac content.

What a magnificent play

Incredible that you were given the keys to the fucking kingdom and still had to pull one of the most pogged isaac plays of all time to make it happen Insane

I used to listen to every Isaac videos from NL just for the commentary. Didint even play the game. Today I decided to buy it. Not dissapointed, Thanks NL!

I couldn't stop laughing my ass off watching him idle by the boss as the enemies got closer and kept clustering all over him. Holy hell I needed that. 46:00

Wow such a hardcore run! It's a legendary moment for legendary gamers for sure ahaha

That timing play was nuts

How have I not seen this video before lol this is legendary

Long time lurker, but had to pop in because that Famine fight was spectacular. Balls of steel, nerves of steel, and flawless execution.

Cannot believe you acctually skipped the glasses, they seemed pretty solid as they do damage to the whole room

I have no idea how this challenge is possible without this specific synergy

2:25 - It hits him. 2:36 - It *hits* him. 2:43 - Denial 2:58 - Acceptance

I really love this new isaac content

2:11 laughed like the twin at the beginning of Jet Li: Rise to Honor

Good run NL, well fought

I feel like this challenge could break NLs recent tranquility... I love it

The greatest play in Isaac history

That was one of the most intense gaming moments I have ever seen.

That "Donkey Kong" room was absolutely hilarious (~43:30)

Watching this on stream was pogged

He's absolutely done it. Great work!

Ok that escape during the first was actually legendary

I know at the end it wasn't really entertaining to watch.. But, how it started to make the run happen was amazing.
