Purgatory is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.
Effects[ | ]
- Spawns a red crack in the ground somewhere in the room while Isaac is in a room with enemies. Walking over the crack summons a ghost that homes in on the nearest enemy, exploding when it hits it. After the ghost is summoned, cracks will keep showing up in the room until it is cleared.
- The ghost spends one second spawning in before it attacks.
- The ghost deals double Isaac's damage per tick, up to 4 times.
Notes[ | ]
- Only one crack is active at a time.
- The amount of cracks does not increase with additional copies of the item.
- The explosion does not hurt Isaac.
- If a crack is stepped on and the room is cleared before the ghost spawns, it will fly to a random location and explode there.
- The explosions from the ghosts will destroy enemy tears.
- Cracks don't spawn in
Challenge Rooms. - Friendly enemies can be killed by the ghosts.
- The ghosts aren't considered familiars, therefore they're unaffected by items or trinkets that alter familiars or their behavior, such as BFFS!, King Baby, Box of Friends or Friendship Necklace.
Interactions[ | ]
- Dark Arts: Walking over cracks will not summon ghosts while under the effect of Dark Arts.
- Spindown Dice: When used on Purgatory, turns the item into Dogma, a unique item usually only able to be obtained by killing the boss Dogma.
