Empty Vessel is an unlockable passive item added in Afterbirth.

Effects[edit | edit source]

Grants 2 Black Hearts on pickup.
When Isaac has no red hearts:
- Grants flight.
- Every 40 seconds, when in a room with enemies, a shield triggers, nullifying all types of damage for 10 seconds.

The changed texture of the player's body is the same as The Lost's, but recolored.
Has no effect on Keeper.

The Lost, ???: Since these characters can never gain red hearts, Empty Vessel will always be activated.
AbaddonIncreases damage and speed, removes all red heart containers, grants six black hearts, and adds a chance to shoot fear tears.: Since Abaddon removes all red hearts as well as adding several black hearts, it will immediately activate Empty Vessel's effects.
Whore of BabylonIncreases damage and speed whenever Isaac has half a red heart or less (one red heart for Eve), ignoring any soul or black hearts.: Since Whore of Babylon is active at half a red heart or less, it will always be active when Empty Vessel is active.

Empty vessel is a religious term for having an open mind so God can fill it with his divine wisdom.
