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 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.
Interactions[]
- 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.
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.
