Defeat Mom's Heart 11 times

The Burning Basement is one of the environments in chapter 1 added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth. The theme of the Burning Basement is fire, and most enemies are replaced with burning versions. There are relatively few flying or shooting enemies; most of the enemies are ground-based and rely on contact damage. Rocks have a chance to be replaced with Fire Places.

The Burning Basement's alternate floors are The Basement and The Cellar.

The Burning Basement is unlocked by defeating Mom's Heart 11 times.
