Ankh is a passive item.
Effect[ | ]
- Upon death, Isaac will respawn as
??? in the previous room, with 3 Soul Hearts.
Notes[ | ]
- Resurrection items activate in a set order. Ankh is 6th / 8th in this order after Soul of Lazarus, 1up!, Dead Cat, Lazarus' inherent extra life ( swap the order of the previous two), Inner Child, Guppy's Collar, and Lazarus' Rags.
- Like other items that grant an extra life, but respawn Isaac as a different character, all completion marks earned from the moment of death onward will count towards the new character, not the old.
- During The Beast fight, Isaac respawns in the place he died.
6th / 
8th in this order after 
Synergies[ | ]
- Birthright: Dying and reviving as ??? will give him full benefit of Birthright, which is doubling all soul hearts gained from health ups.
- Tainted ???: Revives as himself, rather than normal ???. Effectively acts as a 1up!.

Trivia[ | ]
- The Ankh is an Egyptian hieroglyph that means "life".
- It's possible that the resurrection as ??? is a reference to mummies, often depicted as undead in pop culture.
- In the original The Binding of Isaac, the Ankh gave Isaac eyeshadow, like the one Eve wears.
