==Summary==
Hush is the boss of ??? (Floor)/Blue Womb in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth, a small floor made completely of flesh. While it first presents itself as a rehash of ??? (Boss), a previous and weaker final boss that represents Isaac's corpse, it soon reveals itself to be much more than that, when a large mass of flesh rises from the ground, attacking with much more powerful bullet hell attacks. Hush represents Isaac's approaching death and his struggle against it. The entire Blue Womb seems to be part of Hush, as it grows gradually darker and vein-like shadows begin to appear in it when Hush is about to die.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Hush is divided between two phases, one being similar to ??? and his second one being the more challenging, "true" phase.
* Phase 1
** Hush lays on the ground. He will not start attacking until he takes damage.
** After he takes damage, he will shoot a basic danmaku towards the target.
** After he takes larger amounts of damage, he will stand up and a fly with invulnerability will begin circling Hush. He will occasionally spawn regular flies or flies that can shoot blood bullets.
** When he takes more amount of damage, he will start flying and shooting more tears occasionally. Sometimes, he will teleport towards the target.
** After he takes enough damage to trigger phase 2, he will transform and shift to this one.
* Phase 2
** Hush will transform into a more large, monstrous appearance. He now has 6666 HP
** Hush will vary attacks depending on how many HP left he has. Each 20% HP that is taken off Hush, he will sink into the ground for some seconds and become invulnerable to all forms of regular damage.
** (The following phases are taken from the The Binding of Isaac Rebirth gamepedia.)
* Phase 1 (100-80% health)
** Hush fires barrages of bullets in certain patterns, combining 1-3 different patterns of shots. The same pattern can be used multiple times in each barrage.
* Phase 2 (80-60% health)
** Hush will move to the center of the room before resuming its attacks. It also gains an additional attack:
** Hush spawns a cluster of Hush Flies that fly toward Isaac. These flies have invincibility for a short time after being spawned.
* Phase 3 (60-40% health)
** Hush keeps its attacks from previous phases, and gains two more attacks:
** Hush spawns a horde of Blue Gapers, which have an appearance similar to Hush's first form, before sinking into the ground to relocate. While relocating, Hush summons Blue Boils that fire either single shots or triple salvos at Isaac that can travel across the room. Hush is invulnerable in this state.
**Hush fires three rows of wavy Continuum shots in one of the cardinal directions, which warp over to the other side of the screen and increase in speed the longer they travel. Hush will perform this attack 2-5 times before using a different one. These shots move in a set pattern, so standing still in a safe spot will allow the target to avoid an entire barrage.
* Phase 4 (40-20% health) Hush keeps its attacks from previous phases, gains an extra attack, and modifies its attack where it fires barrages of bullets:
** Hush sinks into the ground while firing its barrages patterns, moving in a random direction or chasing Isaac as it fires, and spawning Blue Boils as it moves. Hush is invulnerable in this state.
**Hush creates three large red projectiles that move outward and split rapidly into numerous smaller projectiles. Hush can start other attacks before the projectiles from this attack fully dissipate.
* Phase 5 (<20% health). Hush keeps most of its attacks from previous phases, but loses its ability to spawn Hush Flies. It gains one more attack in this phase, and will have a greatly reduced attack delay when at <1% health:
** Hush fires two laser beams upward from its eyes, which will create beams on the ground that move toward the target and leave slippery Blue Creep in their wake. The speed at which the beams move is based on the target's speed stat, and are always possible to outmaneuver. While firing these lasers, Hush will also release wavy, slow-moving lines of tears in five directions.
* When defeated, Hush will scream and disappear in a flash of light. The ground where it once was will become scorched in a shape resembling a distressed face.
