"Finally!"
Entity ID	5.350.180
Unlock Method	Defeat Mother as Tainted Jacob

This article is about Found Soul, similar in appearance to Your Soul and Lost Soul.

Found Soul is a trinket added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

• Summons a Familiar that follows Isaac's exact movements, akin to Jacob and Esau, and shoots spectral tears.
  • The ghost uses Isaac's tears, range, shot speed, tear effects, and trinkets, and deals 0.5x Isaac's damage.
  • The familiar has collision and can be separated. Holding down the "drop" button keeps the familiar in place.
  • When Isaac places a bomb, the familiar will drop one as well.
  • The familiar can press Buttons.
• The familiar dies after taking any damage, and will respawn on the next floor.

Notes

• If Found Soul is dropped before its death animation finishes, it will still be available for the current floor if picked up again.
• First time pickup of this trinket may result in it not scaling with your speed properly. Regardless of your current speed, Found Soul's speed will be at 1, which may lead to detrimental desyncs. This issue is usually fixed by traveling to the next floor.

Bugs

Bug!	Resuming a Jacob and Esau run with Found Soul equipped in Esau's trinket slot will require a controller to continue. After plugging the controller, Found Soul can be controlled like a Co-op baby and won't mimic the player's movements. This effect won't happen if Jacob holds the trinket.

Bug!	When used together with Azazel's Stump, the soul familiar sometimes keeps Azazel's properties (flight and short brimstone) for a few rooms after you have transformed back from Azazel into your original character. Lil Clot also has this bug.

Bug!	The synergy with Purgatory can cause the game to crash if the soul familiar dies while the item effect is active.
