Changes: Transcendence

Revision as of 11:40, 13 July 2021

Transcendence is an unlockable passive item.

The pickup quote "We all float down here... " is a reference to the Stephen King book 'IT'.
According to Edmund McMillen's first post-Repentance Lore Stream, the explanation behind the visuals of Transcendence (namely the lack of a noose and more importantly, a body) is simply that McMillen found the idea of a head flying around amusing.
If Scissors are used after picking up Transcendence, Isaac will have no visible body from which to shoot tears. Only a shadow and orbitals will remain.
- In Repentance, however, blood gurgles will be spewing constantly from the body, making it much easier to keep track of it.
This item is used in Challenge #6 (Solar System).
In the original Binding Of Isaac, Transcendence was unlocked by beating Mom's Heart two times instead of three.
