Intro

Abyss is an unlockable activated item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Description

  • Consumes all item pedestals in the room and spawns a locust familiar for each one
  • Some items spawn a special locust when consumed
  • [Damage] Locusts deal Isaac's damage multiplied by the item quality consumed:
  • [Quality0] - 0.5x
  • [Quality1] - 0.75x
  • [Quality2] - 1.0x
  • [Quality3] - 1.5x
  • [Quality4] - 2.0x

Trivia

  • The way that Abyss works is similar to how it's described in the Book of Revelation, where locusts emerge from the Abyss and are controlled by Apollyon.
  • The swirl in Void's appearance is in the opposite direction of Abyss's.

Bugs

Bug! According to locusts.xml, Ipecac locusts are supposed to explode. This never happens in game; Ipecac only gives a locust that deals slightly more damage and poisons enemies. Bug! Each use of Glowing Hourglass that does not move Isaac to a different room than the one he is currently in (such as the starting room of a new floor) will duplicate the locusts.
