Death Certificate is an activated item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

• Takes Isaac to an abandoned and expanded version of Home, which has one copy of every item in the game. After taking an item, Isaac returns to the room he used Death Certificate in. In addition to items, the area also has several pickups.

Notes

• Items that have not been unlocked will not show up in this unique location.
• Items that are typically only granted under special circumstances like Dogma and Mom's Shovel are present.
• The only items that do not show up in the Death Certificate area are Dad's Note, Moving Box and Death Certificate.
• Using Death Certificate while in the area that generates from using it consumes the item without doing anything.
• Using this item during the fight against The Beast resets the fight after you leave the special area.
• If lucky enough, it's possible to get to the Death Certificate area using Metronome.
• Pickups found in this area can be collected without being teleported back.
• Wild Card and ? Card work with Death Certificate.

Synergies

• Void: If you use Void in one of the rooms with items in it, it sucks up every item in the room without kicking you out of the area. This allows for you to get a massive upgrade to all of your stats without consequence.
  • Black Rune works too.
  • Abyss works as well.
• Moving Box: Using this item in one of the rooms with items in it allows you to take 10 additional items with you.
• Tainted Cain can turn items into pickups without being kicked out. Allowing for a massive amount of items and pickups.

Interactions

• Red Key: Using the Red Key in this area has a chance of spawning special rooms from Home. If Mom's bedroom is spawned and you sleep in the bed, the cutscene usually preceding the Dogma fight will play, but nothing will change. You are not able to use the Red Key in this area if you activated the item on Home.

Bugs

Bug!	If the player uses a Hermit Card while in the special rooms, the game crashes.
