Purgatory is a 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 twice 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.
• While the explosion can damage Dark Esau, ghosts will never target him.
• Picking up this item with Tainted Lazarus may result in a softlock, since if the ghost explodes when you switch characters, the game will crash resetting the floor.
• The explosions from the ghosts will destroy enemy tears.

Interactions

• BFFS!: No change in the ghosts' size or damage.
