Jacob's Ladder#494

This article is about the Afterbirth † item granting electric tears. For the renamed Antibirth item granting Angel Room shops, see The Stairway. Jacob's Ladder is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.

• This item refers to high voltage traveling arcs, which are colloquially known as Jacob's ladders. It creates a small electric arc rising between two metal rods, as the item graphic represents.
• The name is a reference to The Book of Genesis from the Old Testament. In Genesis 28:10-19 Jacob rested on his journey and had a dream; in the dream, he saw a ladder that served as the connection between Heaven and Earth.
• This item's new effect closely resembles 120 Volt from Antibirth, which was added to the game with a different effect.
• The Stairway was originally named Jacob's Ladder in Antibirth. It was renamed when being ported to avoid a naming conflict.

Bug! When using The Forgotten's melee attack with both Jacob's Ladder and Haemolacria, the sparks caused by splattered tears will hurt the player. This does not apply to other tear scattering items. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
