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

Effects

• Prevents low-quality items from spawning, greatly increasing the quality of items received from all items pools.
  • Items with a quality of 0-1 are automatically rerolled.
  • Items with a quality of 2 have a 33% chance to be automatically rerolled.

Trivia

• The design of the Sacred Orb seems to be based upon a globus cruciger, lit. "cross-bearing orb", a Christian symbol of authority.
• This item mirrors the mechanics of the Tainted Lost, which is fitting for its unlock method.
  • This makes even more sense when you take into account similar items that mirror the gimmick of Tainted characters being unlocked through the same methods.
