Trivia
- The term "brimstone" (burn stone) comes from the King James Bible's mention of burning sulfur. It is used in the phrase "fire and brimstone" to describe the torments of hell. While solid sulfur is yellow, molten sulfur is blood red.
- According to Edmund, brimstone was inspired by zombie blood laser vomit from Metal Slug 3.
- Brimstone's item icon originally comes from the alchemical symbol for black sulfur, referred to as the Leviathan Cross. It was later adopted by Anton LaVey in The Satanic Bible to represent hell and is now often associated with Satanism.
- Ironically enough, prior to update V1.7.5, Brimstone was changed such that it didn't contribute to the Leviathan transformation.
- Brimstone has the same appearance of The Pact, but with big, curved horns and slightly less angry eyes.
- Most items that change tear color will also give Brimstone an exotic appearance, but they do not combine and only one color effect is shown.
- Brimstone is one of the few items that will give Isaac a unique costume when two copies are acquired, along with Guppy's Eye and Glass Eye.
- The ram horns gained from picking up Brimstone were added as a cosmetic item to Team Fortress 2 to promote The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. If the game was purchased before the 10th of December, players were awarded the item in genuine quality.
Bugs
Bug! Picking up Brimstone before picking up Scorpio will not change the beam's color. Picking up Scorpio before Brimstone, however, will properly change it to green. Bug! When having Brimstone + My Reflection and facing towards an east/west wall, standing directly in front of it will make Isaac shoot in reverse — the front-facing oval Brimstone beam will shoot from the back, and the back-facing beam will shoot from the front. Bug! PC Brimstone will occasionally fire the laser the opposite direction. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
