Ankh is a passive item.

Effect

• Grants an extra life.
  • Isaac will respawn as ??? in the previous room.
  • If Tainted ??? dies while holding this item, he still becomes the normal ???.

Notes

• Resurrection items activate in a set order. Ankh is 6th in this order before Broken Ankh, Judas' Shadow and Missing Poster.
• Because characters are respawned as ???, if Azazel or The Lost are resurrected by this item, they will lose the ability to fly unless they picked up items granting such abilities.
  • Azazel will also lose his short-ranged Brimstone.
  • If Lilith is resurrected she will lose Incubus and fire as any other character instead.
• 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.
• While playing as Tainted Forgotten you will die upon respawning in the previous room.

Trivia

• The Ankh is an Egyptian hieroglyph that means "life".
• This item works similar to Spelunky's Ankh, however, its effect in that game is much more akin to 1up!.
