Redemption

Redemption is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

Upon entering a Devil Room, a white inverted cross will appear above Isaac's head. Taking anything generated by the room (items or consumables) will result in the icon going away.
- Opening Red Chests will also make the icon go away.
  - However, getting an item from a Red Chest will let you keep the icon.
  - Opening Red Chests that have been spawned after room generation, e.g. as a room clear reward or enemy drop, won't remove the icon.
If Isaac goes to the next floor with the icon still above his head, he will gain a soul heart and +1.0 damage.

If Isaac has taken a Devil Deal this run and a Confessional booth or a Sacrifice Room would give an Angel Room item, it will instead spawn Redemption. This is the only way Redemption can be obtained aside from Death Certificate or using Spindown Dice on Spirit Shackles.
Picking up items made free through usage of items such as Coupon or a Credit Card will still remove the icon and provide no benefit.
Red Treasure Rooms created by Devil's Crown also count as Devil Rooms for the purposes of this item.
Taking items inside the devil room spawned by Devil Beggars is fine and won't remove the cross.
Taking items from a Black Market will not remove the cross.
