Isaac's Heart

**Isaac's Heart** is a secret unlockable passive item.

## Effect

* Isaac's body becomes immune to all damage.
* A heart familiar appears and closely follows Isaac. If the heart is hurt, Isaac is hurt.
	+ Most enemies now target the heart instead of Isaac. Eyes and other similar enemies, however, will still target Isaac.

## Notes

* Items that activate on contact with enemies retain their ability, allowing Isaac to use them without suffering collision damage.
* Isaac can use Blood Donation Machines and Demon Beggars without taking damage.
	+ During The Guardian challenge, Demon Beggars and Blood Donation Machines deal damage to Isaac.
* Curse Rooms don't deal damage when entered. When used properly, it can allow The Lost to enter and exit Curse Rooms without risk of death.
* Even if Isaac himself can't fly, the heart will hover over ground hazards, making Isaac immune to all damaging creep and spikes. However, the spikes in a Sacrifice Room can still damage it.
* Picking up a non-orbital familiar will cause either Isaac's Heart or the other familiar to be layered over the other's sprite. This is due to the heart not taking up the spot that the other familiar follows in.
* Enemy Brimstone shots (such as from The Bloat) will not deal any damage to the heart.
	+ Brimstone shots will damage the heart.
* Additional players gain the immunity effect without spawning additional hearts.
* Enemy beams of light (similar to Template:I) will not deal any damage to the heart.

## Synergies

* Template:I - Isaac can cause contact damage without taking damage.
* Template:I - Isaac can use Blood Rights infinitely without taking damage.
* Template:I - Isaac can be infinitely invulnerable, as invincibility carries out to the heart without hurting the player. Note that the item needs to be activated for longer than one second for the invulnerability to kick in, however.
* Template:I + XIV - Temperance - Isaac can reuse the Temperance card to get effectively infinite money.
* Template:I - If Isaac's Heart is layered over Dry Baby, Dry Baby will block incoming shots and the heart will not be damaged by projectiles. Enemies touching the heart can still do damage.

* Template:I - Isaac can turn enemies into poop without taking damage.
* Template:I: Isaac's Heart and Isaac will occasionally be connected via electricity.

## Interactions

* Template:I - BFFS! will make the heart bigger, making it easier to get hit.
* Template:I: Familiar will stay in place relative to Isaac.
* Template:I - The Heart will follow King Baby. This makes it much harder to avoid damage, but also makes other synergies like Kamikaze! much easier to use.

* Template:I - Isaac's body repels projectiles, but Isaac's Heart doesn't.
