Lazarus Risen#11

Lazarus is a character unlocked by having four or more Soul Hearts (or Black Hearts) at once during a run. He was introduced in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. He starts with three red heart containers and a double-blue pill with an unidentified effect. He has slightly lower Range and Luck than Isaac but also starts with an extra life. His revived form has increased base stats, with above-average damage, speed, and range. Though low on health, his improved stats counterbalance this weakness well. After Challenge 31: Backasswards is beaten, Lazarus starts with Anemic. Additionally, Lazarus Risen's Anemic effect is permanent and no longer requires him to take damage. Upon transforming into Lazarus Risen, Lazarus loses one heart container, instead of removing all but one. This cannot bring Lazarus below one heart container. When moving on to a new floor after losing an extra life on that floor, Lazarus Risen will revert back to Lazarus, and regain an extra life. Each time Lazarus dies, he gains a +0.5 damage up to both forms.

• Lazarus is a reference to Lazarus of Bethany. In the Bible, Lazarus of Bethany was resurrected by Jesus 4 days after his death. This is why Lazarus spawns with 1 extra life.
• Lazarus Risen's next floor art, in which he is crying about a bad memory, depicts him crying blood, rather than the normal tears.
• If a co-op baby joins in and takes a red heart from Lazarus, then Lazarus dies and gets revived, the co-op player can leave to grant Lazarus Risen an extra heart container.
• If the player dies as Lazarus Risen, his signature on Isaac's last will will have blood drops on it.
• Lazarus's locked icon shows him bound in chains.
• He shares this with Magdalene, Cain, Samson, Eve, Bethany, and Jacob and Esau.
• He incorrectly uses his pre-Repentance design on his locked icon.
• Lazarus's locked icon shows him covered in rags—this is a reference to how in the Bible (John 11:44) Lazarus “came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin” when he was resurrected.
