Finding Your Apartment

Unlock Judas and master his unique playstyle in The Binding of Isaac. Learn about his starting stats, items, and strategies for survival and victory.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To unlock Judas, you must defeat the boss Satan at least once.
  2. 2
    Judas begins the game with 1 Red Heart container.
  3. 3
    He starts with 3 coins.
  4. 4
    Judas's starting active item is The Book of Belial.
  5. 5
    He has a base damage multiplier of 1.35x.
Tips
  • The Book of Belial's damage boost is significant and should be preserved early on. In Rebirth, it guarantees a Devil or Angel Room. In later versions, it increases the chance by 12.5%.
  • Prioritize health upgrades due to Judas's low starting health. Devil Deals can be risky.
  • Dead Cat is a good early pickup as Judas starts with only one Red Heart.
  • Items that activate on low health, like Scapular or Whore of Babylon, are easily triggered with Judas.
  • In Repentance, Birthright makes The Book of Belial a passive item that scales its damage boost with charges.
