Effects

Interactions

Trivia

• The pickup quote "We all float down here... " is a reference to the Stephen King book 'IT'.
• According to Edmund McMillen's first post-Repentance Lore Stream, the explanation behind the visuals of Transcendence (namely the lack of a noose and more importantly, a body) is simply that McMillen found the idea of a head flying around amusing.
• If Scissors are used after picking up Transcendence, Isaac will have no visible body from which to shoot tears. Only a shadow and orbitals will remain.
  • In Repentance, however, blood gurgles will be spewing constantly from the body, making it much easier to keep track of it.
• This item is used in Solar System (challenge #6).
• In the original Binding Of Isaac, Transcendence was unlocked by beating Mom's Heart two times instead of three.
• The item sprite is a reference to the suicide method of one hanging themselves with a rope connected to an anchor point on top.
  • This is further supported with Ending 3
