Godhead

Godhead is an unlockable passive item.

Effects[]

Godhead is a special item.
The damaging aura gets bigger with items that make tears bigger, e.g. Cricket's Head, Polyphemus, and Pupula Duplex.
The aura deals around 30% of Isaac's current damage per tick, and ticks a total of 15 times per second.
The aura deals 1.05 damage per tick.

Compound Fracture/ Cricket's Body/ The Parasite: Main tears and burst tears retain all effects.
Explosivo/ Mucormycosis: Causes damaging aura to grow once attached to an enemy.
Euthanasia: When needles are fired, they retain homing and damaging aura.
Glass Cannon: The huge tear gains the homing ability and fully scaled damaging aura, able to cover most of the screen with extreme damage.
Lachryphagy: Fired tears and burst tears retain aura and homing effect.
The Ludovico Technique: Tear increases in size and gains the damaging aura effect.
- Tear also gains homing effect. May cause Tear to get stuck near enemies.
A Lump of Coal: The size and damage of the aura increases as long as the tear is on screen.
Pulse Worm: The aura also increases and decreases in size.
Saturnus: The orbiting tears generated by Saturnus also have Godhead's damaging aura, but without the homing effect.

Brimstone: Brimstone laser retains the homing effect, but doesn't receive the damaging aura.
Dr. Fetus: Bombs retain the homing effect, but don't receive a damaging aura.
Epic Fetus: The crosshair homes in upon enemies, but neither the crosshair nor the missiles receive the damaging aura.
Haemolacria: Main tear retains all effects, but burst tears do not.
- Burst tears also retain all effects.
Mom's Knife: Knife retains the homing effect, but doesn't get the damaging aura.
Piercing tears: Once the tear hits the enemy, the aura also ceases to do damage to that particular target.
- Enemies still get damaged by the aura after being pierced.
Sinus Infection: The aura on booger tears stuck to an enemy won't hurt that particular enemy. Other enemies passing through it still take damage.
Technology/ Technology 2/ Tech.5/ Tech X: Lasers retain the homing effect, but don't receive the damaging aura.
Trisagion: Causes Godhead's aura to visually disappear; however, the aura is still there and can still damage enemies.
- Aura does not appear and deals no damage. The homing and decreased shot speed still work to great effect.

Godhead is another term for Godhood or overall Divine nature.
The Godhead bears a strong resemblance to the Eye of Providence, Eye of God, or The Eye That Sees All, a common religious symbol also used in Christian religions. The three edges of the triangle may represent each part of the Holy Trinity.
Godhead is arguably the hardest/most grueling item to unlock in Rebirth and Afterbirth, as it requires having to kill every final boss, on Hard mode, with The Lost.
- Repentance introduced Mega Mush and Death Certificate, which require earning all completion marks on Hard mode with a larger number of characters, making them harder to unlock.
The three triangles on the corners of the Godhead icon are quite likely a reference to The Mind, The Body, and The Soul items, as the colors of the corners match the colors of the three items.
- It could also be interpreted as a representation the consubstantial beings that make up the Christian God--the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
This item appears in the Afterbirth † release date trailer.
