Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Wiki
Advertisement

Template:BossTable The Fallen is a boss that can appear as the boss of any floor before Womb II, except for the first floor and The Depths II (where a Mom fight is guaranteed). However, for The Fallen to appear as a boss, the player has to have been inside at least 1 Devil Room in the run (Using a Joker card will count for the purposes of meeting this prerequisite. Seeing a Devil Room door does NOT count).

Behavior

  • Fires 3 tears then 4 tears in quick succession towards Isaac.
  • Growls and begins to chase Isaac. After taking a certain amount of damage, it will pause and fire a Collectible Brimstone iconBrimstone laser in each cardinal direction.
  • At 50% health, the Fallen will split in two smaller versions of itself. The clones that are created have the exact same attack pattern.

Notes

  • The Fallen will also always spawn before the Satan battle.
  • Instead of dropping an item from the boss pool, The Fallen will drop an item from the Devil Room item pool. They cost no heart containers to pick up. Devil Rooms can still spawn at the end of the boss fight.
    • Rerolling the drop from The Fallen will reroll it to another item from the Devil Room pool, but only immediately after you defeat The Fallen. If you exit and re-enter the boss room, it will reroll to the regular boss pool.
    • (except in Rebirth) Rerolling the drop from The Fallen will reroll it to another item from the Devil Room pool regardless of when it is rerolled.
  • Charming effects are especially effective on this boss's second form. Causing one to Brimstone the other will kill them extremely quickly.
  • Krampus uses similar attack patterns as The Fallen, with the exception that he doesn't perform the charge attack and he doesn't split upon death. (except in Rebirth) Krampus's Brimstone beams may also rotate, or fire at a diagonal, or even both, unlike The Fallen's. (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) Krampus can now charge at the player, only when he’s about to perform a rotating Brimstone Beam attack.

Trivia

  • The Fallen shares his name with a level from Edmund's previous game Super Meat Boy.
  • Despite the first phase of The Fallen having a death animation before splitting into clones, the clones themselves don't have a death animation.

Bugs

Bug Bug! Rarely, dealing a large amount of damage to the Fallen in a short period of time may skip Phase 2 (when The Fallen splits into two).
