Ocular Rift is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.
Effects[]
- Gives Isaac a 5% chance to fire tears that create rifts where they land, which damage nearby enemies and pull in enemies, pickups, and tears/shots from all sources for 2 seconds.
- Rifts deal 0.5x Isaac's damage twice each tick (3x Isaac's damage per second), and enemy shots pulled into the rift will damage other enemies.
- The size of the rift increases with Isaac's damage.
Notes[]
- The chance to fire a rift is vaguely affected by Luck, but caps at a certain point, and is never guaranteed to trigger.[1]
- Not recommended for Mother fight as the rift accelerates inbound projectiles, making them harder to dodge.
Tips[]
- Rift tears can be used to move pickups that might be located behind spikes.
- Placement of the rifts is easier with items which provide a degree of control over tears, e.g.
Eye of the Occult.

Hush and {{E|Delirium.

Trivia[]
