Learn how to enter the apartment building as Judas in The Binding of Isaac. This guide covers strategies, tips, and item interactions for this challenging character.
Walkthrough
- 1Judas begins with 1 Red Heart container, 3 coins, and The Book of Belial.
- 2He has a base 1.35x damage multiplier, which is further enhanced by The Book of Belial.
- 3Prioritize finding health upgrades due to his low starting health.
- 4Be cautious with Devil Deals, as they can be risky given his limited health.
- 5The Book of Belial can guarantee a Devil or Angel Room after a boss fight (in Rebirth) or increase the chance by 12.5% (in later DLCs).
Tips
- Keep The Book of Belial if possible, especially early on, to maximize damage output.
- Items that activate on low health, such as Scapular or Whore of Babylon, are easily triggered with Judas.
- Dead Cat is a good early pickup as it effectively grants extra lives with only one starting Red Heart.
- Black Judas, a form achieved by dying with Judas' Shadow, has a 2x damage multiplier and 1.1 base speed, with unique interactions regarding Red Heart containers in different DLCs.
- Birthright transforms The Book of Belial into a passive item that scales its damage boost with the charges of the active item above it.
