Transformations alter Isaac's appearance and grant him special abilities.

A transformation occurs when obtaining at least three different items from a particular set of items.
These collectibles always share a particular theme that corresponds with the transformation.

Transformation sets

Requirements

  • Items only need to have been acquired once in order to count. Keeping them is not required.
    • Duplicate items (like those acquired from (except in Rebirth)Collectible Diplopia iconDiplopia) do not count toward transformations when picked up. Only the first instance of an item Isaac owns will count.
    • Activated collectibles (e.g. Collectible Guppy's Head iconGuppy's Head) can be picked up once and then swapped away with another without any loss to transformation progress.
    • Rerolling items with a dice room, the Collectible D4 iconD4, or the Collectible D100 iconD100 will not remove progress towards the transformation.
    • (except in Rebirth) Familiars gained from (except in Rebirth)Collectible Cambion Conception iconCambion Conception or (except in Rebirth)Collectible Immaculate Conception iconImmaculate Conception do not count towards transformation progress.
  • Trinkets do not count toward progress for any transformation.
  • Pills only count toward Adult and Stompy, they do not count toward progress for any other transformation.

Notes

  • Transformations can be combined, keeping the effects of all transformations with no effects overriding others.
  • Transforming into Beelzebub for the first time will unlock the Lord of the Flies achievement and (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Angry Fly iconAngry Fly.
  • Since none of the Afterbirth transformations unlock an achievement or item, attaining them is not required for 100% completion of the game in terms of achievements. (except in Rebirth) However, this is only true if you unlocked Collectible Mom's Contacts iconMom's Contacts on Rebirth, as the Yes Mother? transformation will happen once you collect three Mom items on Afterbirth and Afterbirth †.
  • Many of the Afterbirth transformations override the charge animations of items such as Collectible Monstro's Lung iconMonstro's Lung and Collectible Brimstone iconBrimstone, potentially making them more difficult to use.
    • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) There is now an option to show a charge bar that floats above Isaac.
