Synergies

• Glass Cannon: The huge tear gains the homing ability and fully scaled damaging aura, able to cover most of the screen with extreme damage.
• Lachryphagy: Fired tears and burst tears retain aura and homing effect.
• The Ludovico Technique: Tear increases in size and gains the damaging aura effect.
• A Lump of Coal: The size and damage of the aura increases as long as the tear is on screen.

Interactions

• Brimstone: Brimstone laser retains the homing effect, but doesn't receive the damaging aura.
• Dr. Fetus: Bombs retain the homing effect, but don't receive a damaging aura.
• Epic Fetus: The crosshair homes in upon enemies, but neither the crosshair nor the missiles receive the damaging aura.
• Haemolacria: Main tear retains all effects, but burst tears do not.
• Mom's Knife: Knife retains the homing effect, but doesn't get the damaging aura.
• Piercing tears: Once the tear hits the enemy, the aura also ceases to do damage to that particular target.
• Sinus Infection: The aura on booger tears stuck to an enemy won't hurt that particular enemy. Other enemies passing through it still take damage.
• Technology/ Technology 2/ Tech.5/ Tech X: Lasers retain the homing effect, but don't receive the damaging aura.
• Trisagion: Causes Godhead's aura to visually disappear; however, the aura is still there and can still damage enemies.

Trivia

• Godhead is another term for Godhood or overall Divine nature.
• The Godhead bears a strong resemblance to the Eye of Providence, Eye of God, or The Eye That Sees All, a common religious symbol also used in Christian religions. The three edges of the triangle may represent each part of the Holy Trinity.
• Godhead is arguably the hardest/most grueling item to unlock in Rebirth and Afterbirth, as it requires having to kill every final boss, on hard mode, with The Lost.
• The three triangles on the corners of the Godhead icon may be a reference to The Mind, The Body, and The Soul items.
• This item appears in the Afterbirth † release date trailer.
