Isaac.chr is a passive item added in The Spitshine Update.
Effects
- Upon dying, destroys the Item and respawns Isaac in the current room with randomized stats, a random amount of Hearts and
Red Heart containers in the Health bar, and replaces up to 1/5 of Isaac's held Collectibles into glitched items, like those from
TMTRAINER.
Notes
- The random Hearts that can appear in the Health bar after reviving can include:
- 0-3
Red Hearts
- 0-2
Soul Hearts
- 0-2
Black Hearts
- 0-2
Gold Hearts
- 0-2
Bone Hearts
- 0-3
Rotten Hearts
- 0-2
Immoral Heart
- 0-2
Morbid Hearts
- Adding or removing up to 2
Red Heart containers, but never removing all of them.
- If Isaac has no Red Heart containers when dying, he will be given at least 1. Isaac will always be left with at least half a Red Heart of health — or half of a Soul Heart if playing a character that cannot have Red Heart containers.
- 0-3
- The randomized stats after respawning is a random multiplier ranging from 0.5× to 2.0× that is distributed to Isaac's damage, tears, range, and speed, behaving identically to
D8.
- Isaac.chr will never replace "quest" items when reviving. This includes:
The Polaroid,
The Negative,
Key Piece 1,
Key Piece 2,
Knife Piece 1,
Knife Piece 2, and
Dad's Note.
- Certain "glitch" themed items will also not be replaced, which includes:
TMTRAINER,
Missing No.,
Undefined,
Dataminer,
GB Bug,
Glitched Crown,
Wrong Warp,
Nil Pasta, and copies of Isaac.chr itself.
- Certain "glitch" themed items will also not be replaced, which includes:
- If Isaac has no other items to replace when respawning with Isaac.chr, one glitched item will be given to him.
- When Isaac respawns with Isaac.chr, it will create a random amount of various glitchy clones of Isaac on the screen in different animation loops. These can't be interacted with and will disappear when leaving the room.
- Additionally, the currently playing music will fade out after respawning. The silence will remain until another music track plays.
Trivia
- Isaac.chr was originally unused in the initial release of The Reheated Update.
- Isaac.chr is a reference to the 2017 visual novel Doki Doki Literature Club. The item sprite is based directly on image that appears when Monika's character file (monika.chr) is converted to a PNG file, while the costume resembles Monika's jumpscare when she is being recorded near the end of the novel.
- Isaac.chr's item description was originally planned to be the phrase "I have granted kids to hell".[1] It is based on an easter egg that had a chance to appear upon starting the game while in Act 2[2], which in turn is a reference to an urban legend involving Ashley's theme from Warioware Touched.[3]
