Learn how to unlock and play as Judas in The Binding of Isaac. Discover his starting stats, unique item, and strategies for survival, including the Black Judas transformation.
Walkthrough
- 1Unlock Judas by beating Satan for the first time.
- 2Judas begins with 1 Red Heart container, 3 coins, and The Book of Belial.
- 3He has a base 1.35x damage multiplier.
- 4Prioritize health upgrades due to his low starting health.
- 5Be cautious with Devil Room deals as they can be risky.
Tips
- The Book of Belial's damage increase is significant; consider keeping it until other damage sources are acquired.
- In Rebirth, The Book of Belial guarantees a Devil or Angel Room after a boss. In later DLCs, it increases the chance by 12.5%.
- Dead Cat is a good early pickup for Judas, as it has minimal downside and contributes to the Guppy transformation.
- Items that activate on low health, like Scapular or Whore of Babylon, are easily triggered with Judas.
- Birthright (Repentance+) makes The Book of Belial a passive item, with its damage boost scaling with the charges of the active item above it.
Unlocking Judas allows you to play as him, offering a high-damage playstyle with a focus on managing low health.
