Paschal Candle is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.
Effects[ | ]
- Gives Isaac a candle familiar that grants a Fire Rate bonus of +0.4 for each room cleared in a row without taking damage, which stacks up to 5 times (Max. +2 Fire Rate), represented by how brightly the flame burns. Starts at 1 stack, and resets to zero if damage is taken.
Notes[ | ]
- The Fire Rate bonus can exceed the normal Fire Rate cap.
- Any self-damage, such as from
Curse Rooms, Sacrifice Rooms, the Bad Trip pill, spiked chests, and self-damaging items such as IV Bag, won't reset the bonus.
- Any self-damage, such as from
- Clearing waves in Greed Mode will give the candle charges as if you cleared rooms.
- Familiars that follow behind Isaac have a certain priority in how close their position is to him over other familiars, with Paschal Candle having the lowest priority at 6th and thus being farther from Isaac than familiars of different priorities.
