(in Afterbirth † and Repentance)

Pause is an active item added in Afterbirth †.

Effect

  • Stops all enemies until a fire button is pressed.
    • This does not affect troll bombs.
    • Touching frozen enemies will still damage Isaac.
    • Bosses are affected.
      • After 30 seconds, they will resume their actions while non-boss enemies (except Lil' Haunt) are still paused.

Notes

  • Paused enemies will not have their damage scaling working effectively, making it highly effective against bosses that employ the mechanic.
  • Damage against paused multi-segmented bosses works unpredictably, most notably allowing you to damage Scolex on normally invulnerable parts.
  • This allows you to clear a room or do damage to a boss for 30 seconds if you have a way to deal damage without attacking, like an orbital or follower that attacks automatically.

Synergies

  • Error: The given collectible ("Butter!") does not exist.: Isaac drops Pause after using it, allowing him to fire tears to damage enemies while paused.

Bugs

Bug Bug! Mega Satan will not play his death animation if he is killed while paused.
