Revelation

Revelation is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects[]

Gives Isaac flight and two soul hearts.
Continuously firing for 2.35 seconds allows Isaac to fire a powerful holy laser when the fire buttons are released, similar to the attacks used by the Angel bosses.
- The laser deals Isaac's damage per tick (up to a maximum of 15 times) and can be aimed diagonally. It lasts for ~1.28 seconds (77 frames).
  - With the EnableMouseControl enabled or an analog controller, the laser can be aimed in any direction, similar to Analog Stick.
- Tear delay has no effect on the charge time of the laser — it is fixed at 2.35 seconds.
This item belongs to the Seraphim set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into an angel.

Notes[]

This item's effects will still work while Blindfolded, which makes it extremely valuable for Lilith and in challenges such as BRAINS!.
Having any charged tear effects like Monstro's Lung or Brimstone will lower their DPS if their charge time is under 2.35 seconds, in order to use Revelation's laser.

Synergies[]

Angelic Prism: When the laser hits the prism, it will split in four.
Anti-Gravity: The laser fires in place, not following Isaac.
Brain Worm: The laser will bend completely to hit an enemy, effectively acting as a better form of homing on single enemies and bosses.
Continuum The laser loops around, potentially hitting enemies twice.
Eve's Mascara/ Polyphemus: As the laser deals Isaac’s damage, but is not affected by tear delay, the DPS of the laser is greatly increased.
Lachryphagy: The laser will have reduced range, but will spawn a stream of red Lachryphagy tears.
Multidimensional Baby: If a Revelation laser is shot through the baby, it will double the laser.
The Parasite: The laser will split both ways at 90 degree angles on contact with an enemy.
Pop!: The laser will have reduced range, but will shoot out eyeballs rapidly at its end.
- Pop! + Multidimensional Baby: Lasers modified by Multidimensional Baby are no longer affected by Pop!, being normal length and not firing additional eyes out the end.
Rubber Cement: The laser will bounce off the walls for a short distance.
Spoon Bender: The laser will home in on enemies in a very effective way.

Interactions[]

Almond Milk/ Soy Milk: As the laser deals Isaac’s damage, but is not affected by tear delay, the DPS of the laser is greatly decreased.
Diplopia: Multiple copies of Revelation have no extra effect.

Ipecac: The laser will poison enemies and repeatedly explode on contact with an enemy or obstacle. Despite its high damage increase, Ipecac only adds +2 damage to the beam, similarly to Brimstone.
Jacob's Ladder: At any point the laser makes contact with an enemy or obstacle, lightning will jump from it.
My Reflection: The laser makes a thin loop in front of Isaac, and fires the normal laser backwards.
Mysterious Liquid: The laser creates a pool of creep on contact with an enemy or obstacle.
Playdough Cookie: The laser rapidly flashes between different colors while firing, with a chance to inflict status effects.
Sulfuric Acid/ Terra: The laser will occasionally break obstacles.
Tech X: If the Revelation beam and the Tech X are both charged, it will sometimes fire the Revelation beam first and the Tech X ring at the end of it.

In-game footage[]

Trivia[]

This item makes Isaac resemble Uriel and Gabriel, and its ability resembles the two angels' abilities to fire a directed holy blast.

Bugs[]

Bug!	When combined with Chocolate Milk, Cursed Eye, Monstro's Lung or Tech X, releasing a Revelation attack may prevent a charged shot from firing at the same time as expected. The charged shot is delayed by about ~0.5 seconds. Holding a full charge for a longer time makes the delay more likely to happen.
