Isaac's Heart

Template:ItemTable

Isaac's Heart is a secret unlockable passive item.

Effect

• Isaac's body becomes immune to all damage.
• A heart familiar appears and closely follows Isaac. If the heart is hurt, Isaac is hurt.
  • Enemies now target the heart instead of Isaac. Eyes and other similar enemies, however, will still target Isaac.

Notes

• Items that activate on contact with enemies retain their ability, allowing Isaac to use them without suffering collision damage.
• Isaac can use Blood Banks and Demon Beggars without taking damage.
  • Template:Afterbirth During The Guardian challenge, Demon Beggars and Blood Banks deal damage to Isaac.
• Curse Rooms don't deal damage when entered. When used properly, it can allow The Lost to enter and exit Curse Rooms without risk of death.
• Even if Isaac himself can't fly, the heart will hover over ground hazards, making Isaac immune to all damaging creep and spikes. However, the spikes in a Sacrifice Room can still damage it.
• Picking up a non-orbital familiar will cause either Isaac's Heart or the other familiar to be layered over the other's sprite. This is due to the heart not taking up the spot that the other familiar follows in.
• Enemy Brimstone shots (such as from The Bloat) will not deal any damage to the heart.
  • Template:Afterbirth Brimstone shots will damage the heart.
• Additional players gain the immunity effect without spawning additional hearts.
• Enemy beams of light (similar to Crack The Sky) will not deal any damage to the heart.

Bug!	Isaac's Heart can be damaged by the spikes in a Sacrifice Room. However, doing so will yield no rewards, making Sacrifice Rooms useless if Isaac has this item.
