Ever got hit in this annoying room containing 4 boom flies while only giving you a 1-tile path in the middle? Well, fear not! The path was widened to 3 tiles in patch 1.9.7.8 of Repentance+, giving you way more room to dodge! #tboi #Isaacrebirth #Repentance

Here is one example of what I think is the most unique fight in the mod. Isaac modding ftw <3
If you like Isaac then you HAVE to look at this mod. It is absolutely nuts! Video Showcase and Steam Page in the replies! #tboi

The "Mega Bean" item got a buff in the new Repentance+ DLC! It will now live up to its name and produce a fart powerful enough to even open the Boss Rush and Hush doors after their timer ran out! #tboi #isaacrebirth

Grabbing Rotgut's "heart" or the maggot (Gus) in his 2nd phase with the "Suplex" item will push you through the ground right into the I AM ERROR room! #tboi #isaacrebirth

Today's fact will blow your mind! The basic Attack Fly can easily hit you from the left and right, but did you know that they have a lot of trouble approaching you from top or bottom?

There is a new secret in the game! Using the Abyss item to absorb another Abyss on a pedestal will create a set of 16 different permanent Locusts!.I made an in-depth showcase of the Abyss rework and ALL new special Locusts! Check it out in the replies! #tboi #repentanceplus

The "3 Dollar Bill" item grants you a random tear effect that changes every few seconds. But for some reason, the item can also grant you the effect of the "Lucky Foot" since Repentance! This grants you a short window to convert bad pills into good ones if you are patient!

Welcome to another installment of "most useless Isaac facts ever"! Blue/purple fireplaces technically get damaged by your tears but have infinite instant HP-regeneration. which can be stopped with the "Pause" item for no reason :D This also works great with the "Finger!" item!

Holding the "NO!" trinket when entering a library will turn all the books into passive items. This will guarantee the "Book of Virtues" to spawn because it is the only book considered to be a passive item!. Fact "submitted" by @HuttsLP over a year ago :D <3

In phase 2 of the Dogma fight, you can just stand inside the ball of light and completely avoid all the beam attacks. The ball itself also doesn't have a hitbox making it a 100% save spot if positioned correctly!

Most of you probably know that the body of the Forgotten can block projectiles to protect the soul. However, did you know that their hurt boxes have the same size? This allows you to become fully pullet proof if you stand still while releasing the soul from the body!

Creating a trapdoor (not crawlspace) in the special room created by the newly reworked "Lil Portal" item will always lead to the I AM ERROR room! #tboi #isaacrebirth #repentanceplus

We all know that "Chub dislikes smoke" but whatever you do, you should never feed a bomb or rocket to the Chub version that comes out of the Matriarch boss.💀

The sparks created by "Jacob's Ladder" and "120 Volt" are usually limited to only jump to 4 enemies. However, the "Jumper Cables", "The Battery" and "AAA Battery" have the hidden synergy of increasing the amount of jumps each spark can make! And there are even more synergies! 1/2

The hitbox of the Dry Baby and Farting Baby familiars are bigger than Isaac's hurtbox. This allows you get them stuck on top of your character with the Duct Tape trinket to become completely immune to projectiles!

It does not matter which skull you touch when playing the shell game. The chance to succeed is 33% either way and the outcome is seeded! A typical illusion of choice. 💀💀💀

Well. seems like we finally get the long awaited "Void rework" after all 😂
14

1K
The "PJs" are a fraud among the "full heal" items! It is the only one that restores a fixed amount of 12 hearts instead of fully restoring all of your red health! This is weird because it is only relevant with Maggy's Birthright, which didn't even exist when PJs was added.

The Black Lotus in Isaac is an obvious reference to the super rare and expensive card in the TCG "Magic: The Gathering" which @edmundmcmillen is a huge fan of. However, despite the effect of the card giving you 3 mana of any ONE color, the Isaac item gives you 3 different hearts.

You can actually use the "Friendly Ball" item on the detached head of the Rag Man boss before it turns into a Ragling! The head will also not transform after you release it, and it will chase enemies by rolling around instead :D

Fun fact by my boy LazyMattman! But here is another one! Did you know that the Siren and MOM also share the same voice actress in @CarlaKihlstedt?

If you manage to catch a Bishop with the Friendly Ball item, it will use its shield ability on your character!. The bishop will take a bit of damage every time it shields you but it will still prevent a huge amount of hits before it dies.

Did you know that the Big Horn boss dislikes smoke? :D There is a brief moment right after he shoots his black ball attack where you can push a bomb inside of his mouth. This will stun him for 6 seconds in a unique animation which will also cause him to take 20% more damage! 💣👿

The new and reworked D10 item devolves enemies into weaker ones of the same family. But did you know that some of them will reroll into stuff like obstacles or pickups fitting the theme? Here are some cool examples!

The Singe boss has a unique dancing animation that is only used for the bestiary entry and not in the actual fight! It is also one of @edmundmcmillen's favorite bosses in Repentance!

PSA: The online alpha/beta of #TBOI #IsaacOnline is going offline until further notice due to someone datamining the game and ruining it for everyone else.

Did you know that you can completely remove red poops or retractable spikes by using the Poop item on top of them? Get rid of those pests to prevent unnecessary damage while backtracking :D

The Tech.5 item got a stealth buff in the Repentance+ Update! It now has a 5% chance for each laser to be fired with a random item or trinket effect! That effect can be nearly everything from the entire game! Here are a few examples~ #tboi #isaacrepentance #isaacrebirth

There is a special death animation that triggers when the character dies while getting pushed into a wall by any Slide variant. This is a neat little reference to the "Crush trap" in Spelunky!

This modded version of the "Ultra Pride" fight is honestly so cool and creative! It makes @edmundmcmillen sketch the enemies into the room and @Gamesquidable code them into their final form🤯 (Mod: Improved & Reworked Foes)

The pickup quote of the Crown of Light item is "The untainted gain power" and yet it still works for tainted characters. Literally unplayable 🤓

For those that missed it yesterday, I got to spoil 2 new Four Souls Cards! The Harlot and her starting item Gello! Go get yours: :D @edmundmcmillen

I've got a neat little tip for the Damocles item for you today! If you use it and get hit early in a run, consider doing the mines chase asap! This will remove the sword from your inventory and put it back after the chase which will make the game think you never got hit!
14
96
862
Using the Broken Remote trinket with any active item that doesn't need to be charged allows you to teleport infinitely! Even better, doing this in the Beast fight causes your character to teleport around on the screen, making you unkillable due to I-frames!
15

Get ready for the most useless Isaac fact ever. Mr. ME! can move Mom's chest!

The teleport of the Stitches item can destroy blue and purple fire places, allowing you to check for soul harts for free!

You are supposed to draw circles on the ground to activate the Black Powder item. However, you are not limited to them! You can actually draw all kinds of shapes and even trigger it by drawing a "C" with 2 lines!

804
You can use the Found Soul trinket/familiar in combination with the Red Key to open 2 red rooms at once! 🔑👻
10

793
If you ever get this specific angel room layout while playing as Jacob & Esau, remember this precise lineup which allows you to grab 2 items on opposing sides of the room!
6
70
771
Your character can't interact with item pedestals or trapdoors while it is in the middle of a pickup animation. You can use this to get past unwanted devil deals or trapdoors in unavoidable locations by dropping and recollecting your trinket/pill/card.
13
64
764
Switching between regular and tainted characters on the character select screen will also change the icon of your game from Isaac to Tainted Isaac!.This is probably common knowledge at this point but maybe some of you didn't know about this awesome little detail :)

The "Vade Retro" item has the ability to execute enemies tagged as "ghosts" by just using it when they are below 50% health. This even works on bosses, and most importantly also on Delirium when he transformes into a ghost type boss!!! 👻❌
10
73
776
Using the "Reverse Strength" card against certain segmented bosses will trigger a weird damage loop that will cause them to quickly die from just a single hit! This works on Pin, The Frail, Scolex, Chub, C.H.A.D., Carrion Queen, Wormwood and Turdlet! #tboi #isaacrebirth
13
58
819
Did you know? The Soul Hearts stored inside of the Alabaster Box item can be used to pay for the Soul Heart part of devil deals! It costs 2 charges for a pure 3 Soul Heart deal and 4 charges + 1 red heart container for a Red Heart/2 Soul Heart deal.
5
87
750
Have you ever felt like the poop flies are harder to kill than the regular ones? Well, that's because they actually quickly regenerate their health over time!
16

740
The "Infamy" item always has a 50% chance to block a projectile, no matter where it hits you. It does NOT have to hit the mask itself. Some people might not know this, as it doesn't feel very intuitive like that.
9
42
753
You can grab 2 items of a linked item choice by using this very hard bomb trick! This works because there is a 4-frame window after touching the first item before the others despawn, making it a frame perfect trick due to the travel time of your character!
12
106
720
You don't die immediately when you take a fatal devil deal! Picking up any soul/black/bone heart while you are in the pickup animation of the item will keep you alive. Keep this in mind to cheese expensive devil deals that wouldn't be affordable otherwise!
9
73
721
You can use the temporary familiars summoned by the "Quints" item as a sacrifice for the "Sacrificial Altar" to get 2 new devil items! This will remove Quints from your inventory tho. Use this in a room with many enemies to reduce the chance of losing your other familiars!

This is not really something you think about while playing, but did you ever notice that regular chests can contain pills but NOT cards, while golden chests can contain cards but NOT pills?

The Hot Bombs item passively grants you immunity from the contact damage of fire places! It also allows you to take a bath in the Beast's lava pit without taking any damage!

There is an "official" sprite sheet of a golden Henry made by @NY_Sagittarius! However, it never made it into the game because of how rare Henry is in the first place. Look how shiny he is!

659
Today I got footage from the development of Repentance! Dogma originally had an additional black hole attack that would try to suck you in and force you to dodge some tears. The attack pattern was deemed to be too hard by the playtesters and never made it into the final version.
24
65
666
Using the Meat Cleaver item on the Horny Boys boss will split it into Loki and Hornfel instead of creating 2 mini bosses. Using it again will then split Loki into his alternative form "Lokii". Also: Loki and Hornfel are confirmed to be brothers!
6
64
642
Delirium's death animation is usually too long to kill him with the Plan C item. However, you can cheese it by pausing the game every time the static effect is on the screen. This will greatly shorten his death animation and make him die just before you for a free unlock!
5
66
648
Hitting the front side of Knights or their variants with the "Head of the Keeper" item will still produce pennies even though you don't deal any damage. This allows for an infinite money farm if you are patient.
8
39
660
This is probably the most useless fact ever, but shopkeepers actually have 5 HP! This means you could potentially NOT kill them if you have some sort of explosive shot with super low damage :D
5
54
628
If you (somehow) manage to reach a tear rate of 30 with the "Spirit Sword" item it will start to glitch out and automatically spam its swing attack at an insanely high speed, even if you don't press anything! It will only stop while you hold down a fire button to charge.

The irony of these 2 SunnyV2 videos being next to each other on his channel is so funny to me considering what's probably about to come🤣Let's hope he has a cute dog to hold into the camera.

If you use the "Forget Me Now" item after defeating Mom's Heart in the Mausoleum, the floor will keep the special backdrop of the Mom room as well as the darkness and music which all lead to a very creepy atmosphere.

Are you smart enough to solve nerd Lazarus's equation? ❌❓👀

When playing as the Forgotten with the "How To Jump" item, his soul form switch can be used to cancel the book's jump into a super dash that allows you to hit enemies while being fully invincible!

607
Back in Flash Isaac, the "Monster Manual" item was called "Monster Manuel" due to a typing error. This was fixed in Rebirth, but the Repentance DLC brought it back as an easter egg that can appear whenever you pick up the item!

52
613
The super rare giant poop obstacle found on the dross floor can be picked up with Mom's Bracelet! You can even carry it around between rooms and throwing it at an enemy deals a whopping 320 damage!

Ed makes one little tweet saying that he would like to have a Fortnite crossover and "news" sites instantly go "ISAAC X FORTNITE COLLAB TEASED OMMFGG!!!!!" to bait clicks . actually hilarious xD
Tell me who to talk to and I’ll make it happen.

Yesterday's little debate over Teleport 2.0 made me want to post a fact about it that some may not be aware of yet! It is a really great item if you go the Beast route! You can use it to get a free devil/angel room on every single floor on the Ascent after you clear it!

Hey guys! I wish all of you a nice Valentine's Day! <3 And don't forget, even if you don't have someone today. Sissy always loves you!

If you use a "Card against Humanity" in the Hush fight just before you defeat his first form, the second one will get trapped inside of the poop which will make most of his attacks in the first part of the phase useless! happy Halloween everyone! <3

The D7 is a very good item for the Downpour/Dross II Mirror World! It allows you to "refill" the otherwise empty special rooms and create copies of their layouts on the "real" floor. This is especially powerful when you have items in your secret or curse room!
7
77
596
You can't really see it on its normal sprite but removing the head of your character will reveal that the "Box" item has "Isaac" written on it! You can only see it while walking to the right.
3
43
572
Did you know that the "Found Soul" Trinket/Familiar can have health? One way to achieve this is with the "Dream Catcher" item! Each time you go down a floor your Found Soul will also get half a Soul Heart which allows it to tank an additional hit before dying!

I'm currently running a popularity poll for all Quality 3 Crane Game items on my YouTube channel and this picture is the comment section of all polls including "Mutant Spider" in a nutshell. The Mandela effect is strong with this one.

578
I hope they thought about proper coop difficulty scaling as well. I feel like that is needed for it to be fun long term 🤔 Exited to see it either way!.

571
The "Evil Charm" item actually protects you from the aura of Dogma's Godhead-like projectile attack! This means you only have to worry about dodging the actual tears, which gets quite easy if you know the safe spots of the attack pattern.
5
50
564
The Pause item does not work on rotating item pedestals. but wouldn't it be a cool little detail if it did?

Thanks for all the years of nerdy entertainment! Especially for the video you made for one of my favorite game of all time over 9 years ago! <3 #tboi
But hey. that's just a theory. My final theory. Thanks for watching.

That's what I get for actually playing the damn game for once 🥲 The chance to get a payout with 11 plays is 96% 🙃

Repentance+ reworked the Abyss items to make the damage of Locusts scale with the quality of the absorbed items. However, exiting and rejoining the run will reset all your locusts and assign them to quality 2 (100% damage)! This will ofc get fixed soon~ #tboi #repentanceplus

Did you know that the "Serpent's Kiss" item can still produce Black Hearts from killed enemies after its nerf in Repentance? The ability was only taken away from the tear poison but NOT from the contact poison!
10

551
Let's not forget about these guys.
In the room files for The Binding of Isaac: Repentance, Chest Rooms and Dice Rooms have (Placeholder) in their names despite being IN the game. Newer rooms have fun with this, with the Chest Room in the bottom being an Evil Placeholder, and the Dice Room placeholder being tired.

34
520
The Metronome item can copy nearly every item in the game, even those you haven't unlocked yet! This means you could potentially get a Death Certificate activation on a completely fresh savefile!
8
44
527
If you are lucky and a sticky nickel spawns inside of the Bumbino fight, he will try (and fail) to grab it infinitely, granting you a free win! :D
8
39
531
Did you know that Brimstone turns into a constant beam if you reach a tear rate of 15, even without Soy Milk? Getting an even higher tear rate will make the beam bigger and stronger as well! Going over the usual cap of 120 (via debug console) will make it fill the entire room :D
12
41
540
You can use other items while the invulnerabilty effect of "Dark Arts" is active. This is especially powerful with "Kamikaze" as it allows you to deal heavy damage for free! You can even fit 2 explosions into one slash if you use the first one instantly.
7
58
535
What's a Binding of Isaac opinion that will have you like this?

Using the D10 to devolve Henry will turn him. into Henry!!! Does that make him the perfect being?🤔💩💯

505
For those who don't know yet: Opening Pandora's Box while holding the Strange Key trinket will consume both and replace the reward of the box with 6 random items! This will happen no matter which floor you are on, and you can take all 6 items!

47
517
The "Soul of the Forgotten" is mostly used as a sacrificial lamb for blood donation, devil beggars or sac rooms. But did you know that it deals a whopping 65.3 damage with every single swing of the bone, independent of your own damage stat? Enough to easily melt any floor boos!
6
40
509
I told you that the "3 Dollar Bill" item can grant you the effect of "Lucky Foot" a few days ago. Here is another one! It can also grant you "Magneto", allowing you to get pickups behind rocks/pits and open spike chests for free with enough patience!
11
28
530
Did you know that Henry, the rarest but also most harmless enemy in the game, can actually deal contact damage and even kill you?💩.However, the devs never even bothered to give him his own kill icon for the death screen which instead shows a random bucket.🪣
