Beat chapter 2 without taking damage

Telekinesis is an unlockable activated item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.

Effects

• Upon use, for the next three seconds, any enemy shots that come near Isaac are held in place. After the charge is depleted, they are fired back as tears.
  • The reflected tears always do 3.5 damage.
• Pushes enemies away for the duration of the item's usage.

Notes

• The tears can be rammed into enemies while they're held by Telekinesis. They won't disappear until the effect ends but do no further damage.
• Catching shots from enemies that fire high into the air, like the Tube Worm, is very difficult and not beneficial; in the case of the Tube Worm, shots that are caught will just fall to the ground rather than be fired at enemies.

Interactions

• ? Card: The cooldown applies even when used through the ? Card.
• 9 Volt: Does not benefit from 9 Volt, unlike other auto-recharge items.
• The Battery: A Little Battery has to be picked up for another charge. Both charges are expended at once for a longer duration effect.
• Car Battery: The Car Battery has no effect.
• Sharp Plug: Charge gained from Sharp Plug is expended immediately and won't stop enemy shots.

Trivia

• Telekinesis has been added in Booster Pack #2, after the initial release of the DLC.
• Telekinesis is based on this Steam Workshop item by Eufuu, originally known as Telepathy.
• This item and the pickup sprite may be a reference to The Matrix, where the protagonist Neo can stop bullets in mid-air when they are directly in front of him, holding out his right hand exactly how it's represented in the sprite.
