Redemption

Redemption is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

 * Upon entering a Devil Room, a white inverted cross will appear above Isaac's head. Taking anything generated by the room (items or consumables) will result in the icon going away.
 * Opening Red Chests will also make the icon go away.
 * However, getting an item from a Red Chest will keep the icon.
 * Opening Red Chests that have been spawned after room generation, e.g. as a room clear reward or enemy drop, won't remove the icon.
 * If Isaac goes to the next floor with the icon still above his head, he will gain a soul heart and +1.0 damage.

Synergies

 * : +1 damage given by Redemption will persist after time leap to the upper floor, as well as giving another activated Redemption after time leap. The soul heart given by Redemption will only persist if you time leap to the upper floor before Redemption finishes its animation. This will allow to take the Redemption damage buff and soul hearts several times per floor. However, if you can use Glowing Hour Glass two times in a row, in order to get 2 soul hearts, you'll need to leave the boss room before going down the floor the second time.

Trivia

 * The pickup quote is taken from the last verse of the Lord's Prayer: "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'"
