Ultra Greed is fought in a unique vertical double-size room with golden Boss Room doors on all 4 walls in regular positions.
 
When Isaac enters the boss room, Ultra Greed starts out hanging on a noose before he abruptly cuts it off and lands on the ground. Ultra Greed cannot be damaged until he drops to the ground (e.g. by firing or using an item immediately upon entering the room). Ultra Greed will then perform a variety of attacks in addition to wandering around the room:

** Key coins will open the golden doors around the room if not destroyed, which spawn hordes of Greed [[Gaper]]s.
 
** If the two symbols on Ultra Greed's eyes don't match (Key and Heart), the coins will spin around the room. Unlike the other coins, these deal contact damage, but won't do anything if they are not destroyed in time. They also last longer.
 
* When there are too many enemies/coins alive at once, Ultra Greed will assume a defensive stance. The blocking Ultra Greed will take much less damage from Isaac's attacks, and he will stay in this state until most of the enemies have been killed.

All of Ultra Greed's attacks deal a full heart of damage and cause Isaac to drop coins on hit. If he walks over any coins on the ground, he collects them, healing him for 4.375 HP each. Doing so also makes him slightly more aggressive. Heart coins also make the boss angrier.
When Ultra Greed either heals or has low health, he will start to turn red, which increases his attack speed and movement speed. This effect fades over time if Ultra Greed turns red after healing, and the scaling speed increases if the Everything is Terrible 2!!! achievement is unlocked.
 
   
 
When Ultra Greed has low health, he turns red, which increases his attack speed and movement speed. This effect also occurs if Ultra Greed is healed by enough Heart Ultra Greed Coins, although only providing a temporary effect.

Damage scaling is a mechanic introduced in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth to provide a more challenging experience to the players, enabling ''some'' enemies to retaliate against high damage attacks by deploying an "armor" of sort to greatly reduce the amount of damage taken.

(except in Rebirth)

Ultra Greed is the final boss of Greed Mode and Ending 18.

Behavior[ | ]

Ultra Greed is fought in a unique vertical double-size room with golden Boss Room doors on all 4 walls in regular positions. When Isaac enters the boss room, Ultra Greed starts out hanging on a noose before he abruptly cuts it off and lands on the ground. Ultra Greed cannot be damaged until he drops to the ground. Ultra Greed then performs a variety of attacks in addition to wandering around the room:

  • Stomps on the ground 4 times, spawning a KeeperKeeper with each stomp. Only 4 Keepers can be alive at once.
  • Charges at Isaac when he is in line of sight.
  • Shoots either 3-5 coin projectiles in a spread from his mouth, or a cluster of coin projectiles, similar to Boss Monstro ingameMonstro.
    • Ultra Greed does not perform this attack if Isaac is far enough away.
  • Spins around the room, firing coin projectiles in random directions.
  • If Isaac is too close to Ultra Greed, he performs a spin, kicking Isaac away in the process.
  • Stops moving and rotates his eyes in a slot machine manner. If both eyes land on the same symbol, he then spawns multiple Ultra Greed Coins of the same symbol.
    • If the two symbols on Ultra Greed's eyes don't match, he spawns blank Ultra Greed Coins (Spinner).

  • If there are too many monsters/coins alive at once, Ultra Greed assumes a defensive stance. While blocking, Ultra Greed takes much less damage from Isaac's attacks, and maintains this state until most of the monsters/coins have been killed.

All of Ultra Greed's attacks deal a full heart of damage and cause Isaac to drop coins on hit. If he walks over any coins on the ground, he collects them, healing him for 4.375 HP each. Doing so also makes him slightly more aggressive. Heart coins also make the boss angrier.

When Ultra Greed has low health, he turns red, which increases his attack speed and movement speed. This effect also occurs if Ultra Greed is healed by enough Heart Ultra Greed Coins, although only providing a temporary effect.

  • The scaling speed increases if Everything is Terrible 2!!! Everything is Terrible 2!!! has been unlocked by using the Greed Donation MachineGreed Donation Machine.

When Ultra Greed's health bar is depleted, he turns into a golden statue and drops the end chest and the Greed Donation MachineGreed Donation Machine. If in Greedier Mode, he instead begins his second phase.

Ultra Greedier[ | ]

(in Afterbirth † and Repentance)

Greedier Mode is a mode added in Afterbirth ♰. It is unlocked by depositing 500 coins in the Greed Machine.

Playing on Greedier Mode gives Ultra Greed a second phase where his gold statue form comes to life. This phase is known as Ultra Greedier, and is the final boss of Ending 19. Additionally, he performs several new attacks:

  • The coin projectiles that Ultra Greedier shoots from his first phase now explode upon contact.
  • Slams his fists into the ground, creating explosions where he slams and causing golden Collectible Brimstone iconBrimstone lasers to fire from the golden Boss Room doors that surround the room.
    • They can either come out from one pair of doors at a time or from all of them at once.
  • Jumps into the air towards Isaac's position, dropping exploding coins down below while travelling. Upon landing, rock waves are sent in various directions.
  • Stomps on the ground four times, causing a slew of Bomb Coins to rain from the ceiling.
    • These coins can spawn coin pickups when they explode, providing both healing for Ultra Greedier and extra coins for Isaac.

After defeating Ultra Greedier, he explodes, dropping a coin pickup and turning the entire room into solid gold. It is at this point that the end chest and the Greed Donation MachineGreed Donation Machine spawn.
