This article is about the boss. For the item, see Gemini (Item).

Gemini is a boss that can appear in Basement.

• Additionally in the Burning Basement.

Each twin has 140 HP. The large twin is called Contusion and the small twin is called Suture.

Behavior

Gemini starts as a pair of bosses connected together by an umbilical cord.

• Contusion chases Isaac and periodically charges increasing his speed, but stops to catch his breath afterwards.
• Suture, while attached to Contusion, shoots a projectile towards Isaac if not behind an obstacle.
• If Contusion is killed, Suture detaches and begins charging furiously at Isaac. He has high momentum and takes extra knock-back from tears which can cause him to gain speed.
  • If Suture is killed, there is no change to Contusion's behavior.

Champion Versions

◼ Cyan: No difference in behavior. However, Contusion will drop a Soul Heart if killed last.

◼ Green: They start separated from each other and have no difference in behavior. However, Contusion will drop a Red Heart or Half Red Heart if killed last.^{[Check ingame]}

Trivia

• Gemini appeared in the original The Binding of Isaac.
• Gemini seems to be an example of a parasitic twin, with Suture being the underdeveloped twin, dependent on Contusion.
• Blighted Ovum is the posthumous version of them, and Steven is the alternate version.
• The Gemini pair is named after the astrological sign of the same name; the symbol of Gemini is a pair of twins.
• The Gemini pair was originally designed to be a boss in Gish and was called Suture Contusion, with the larger twin being Contusion for the boot-shaped dent in his head.
• Contusion is the medical name for a bruise, whereas suture is the medical name for a thread used to close gaping wounds, commonly called stitches.
• The names of the brothers are inspired by a song by The Mars Volta
  • The specific lyric comes from "Cicatriz ESP."
• In the Bestiary, Suture is referred to as "Gemini Baby".

Bugs

Bug!	To unlock Cellar, Isaac must kill all Basement bosses once. Gemini, however, counts as two depending on which part is killed first.

Bug!	If you Stun Suture at the same time that it tries to shoot Isaac, it will cause the sound effect to loop infinitely until Suture is killed.

Bug!	If Gemini's chain hits Red Poop or Spikes, the chain will disappear but Contusion and Suture will still be joined.
