Eden is a new character in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, unlocked by completing The Womb for the first time. Eden is unique in that they are only playable when the player has at least one Eden Token. Eden Tokens are awarded every time Mom's Heart, It Lives, or (except in Rebirth) Ultra Greed is defeated. Each time a game is started as Eden, one token is consumed and a new Eden is randomly generated based on the seed, with one of multiple hairstyles, random base stats, and two randomly chosen starting items.

For details regarding the exact generation of a Eden Run, check Eden Generation.

Eden's stats are centered around Isaac's, basically meaning that they are like Isaac but may vary significantly. The stats you see on this page are all ranges with Isaac's stats at the center, plus or minus a certain amount up to the values listed. It is currently unknown how the game generates Eden's stats, or how it handles particularly powerful or particularly weak Edens.

Notes

  • Holding R to reset doesn't work with Eden, and every time you start a new run, you use up one Eden token.
    • After starting a run and transforming into another character (using items like Collectible Ankh iconAnkh or (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Clicker iconClicker), holding R to reset will work and start a new run as Eden, even if you don't have tokens.
    • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) Holding R to reset will consume an Eden Token and start a new run.
  • Eden can start with any item, including Collectible The Negative iconThe Negative or Collectible The Polaroid iconThe Polaroid if already unlocked.
  • Stats are assigned before items. For example, starting with Collectible Bucket of Lard iconBucket of Lard will make Eden spawn with however many hearts they started with, plus an additional two heart containers (one half of which will be filled, the rest left empty).
  • Some of the items Eden can start with will instantly unlock certain characters (e.g. Starting with Collectible A Dollar iconA Dollar while Cain has yet to be unlocked, or starting with (except in Rebirth)Collectible PJs iconPJs before unlocking Lazarus).
  • Eden Tokens are not awarded for killing Mom's Heart or It Lives in The Void.

Trivia

  • In the book of Genesis, the Garden of Eden was the place where Adam and Eve lived before consuming the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and thus being cast out by God.
  • According to Edmund, Eden is neither male nor female. A quote from Edmund says “Eden is the fabled “mystery man” ive talked about in interviews before i had a fully realized idea of what they would become… see Eden isnt a man, nor are they a woman.. they just are.“
  • Because of how Eden's stats work, Eden can start with decimal luck.
    • Playing as Eden is the only way to have non-integer luck.
    • When actually used in formulas, luck is rounded towards zero. This means Eden's effective starting luck is almost guaranteed to be 0.
  • During development, Edmund asked fans to contribute hairstyles for Eden. [1]
  • Many of Eden's hairstyles added in the Booster Packs resemble the hairstyles of other playable characters such as Magdalene and Lazarus.
