Mask + Heart
![]() |
For the boss with a similar name, see Mask of Infamy. |
The Mask + Heart is an enemy commonly found in Necropolis, uncommonly in
The Womb/
Utero, and rarely in
The Catacombs. Hearts may be found on their own in The Womb/Utero as well.
It consists of:
- an invulnerable mask, which uses a movement pattern similar to a Knight.
- a slow-moving heart that will shoot 4 projectiles in the cardinal directions when the player approaches it
Destroying the heart will also destroy the mask. If the heart is afflicted by a status effect, the mask will also gain that status effect.
Variations[edit | edit source]
Mask II + 1/2 Heart[edit | edit source]

The Mask II + 1/2 Heart is a variation of Mask + Heart that was introduced in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.
The two behave quite similarly to the regular Mask + Heart, however in this variation, the 1/2 Heart shoots blood shots in the ordinal directions rather than the cardinal. If there are more than one 1/2 Heart in the room, they will fire blood shots between each other as well.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Although the mask appears to be floating, it cannot pass over obstacles and can be affected by Creep.
- The hearts do not do contact damage.
- The masks can be killed with
Chaos Card,
Euthanasia, and
Little Horn.
- If a mask is shrunk, it can be killed by walking over it.
- Small versions of the hearts can be spawned by Pink Champion Carrion Queen.
- The hearts can be spawned by Mom's Heart/It Lives.
- Although the Heart and it's shots will be slowed by
Broken Watch and
Stop Watch, the Mask will move normally.
- Though shown and dying as one enemy, using items such as
D10 will cause both the mask and the heart to reroll as if it were two different enemies.
- Mask of Infamy is the boss version of this enemy.
