Essential Unlockables - The Complete Guide (The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+)

- Disclaimer: This video was made during the Afterbirth+ era, but all of these items are still very powerful and worth unlocking in Repentance. There are some minor differences in unlock methods and what certain items do, listed below.
- Restarting 7 times in a row now unlocks Scared Hearts instead of Half Soul Hearts, which are instead unlocked by defeating Mom's Heart 5 times
- The unlock requirements for Challenge #4 : Darkness Falls have been updated - you now also need to unlock Sacrificial Dagger by beating The Chest with Eve
- Challenges 4, 11 and 19 seem to be bugged and will randomly refuse to be unlocked
- Blank Card now only works with cards, not runes
- Deep Pockets now lets you hold a maximum of 999 pennies instead of its previous effect
(let me know about other differences I'm missing in the comments!)

This video has been an insanely long time in the making (at least by my standards, since it took 3-4x longer than my previous guide), and I felt really tired after finally finishing it, so I won't start work on any new guide for at least a few weeks so that I don't burn out.
That said, if there is demand (especially around the Repentance release period), new guides will almost certainly come out.
Special thanks to Adrian Nuñez, who gave me the idea for this guide as well as a lot of encouraging words. Sorry for the 3-month wait, Adrian!
As before, feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated, and I'd love to hear what guides you think I should make next.

For anyone who owns Repentance, be aware that the unlock requirements for Challenge #4 : Darkness Falls have been updated; you now also need to unlock Sacrificial Dagger by beating The Chest with Eve.
In addition, Jera now does NOT work with the blank card.
@@sorurus7552 You have to instead use ‘clear rune’. The amount of charge needed is dependent on the rune you want to use, jera being a 12 room charge.
clear rune has no unlock condition and can be found in secret rooms and crane games
@@neojester Well, this means that now, doing a Jera exploit means you need way more batteries which means it’s only possible if you get lucky with champions and chests.
@@sorurus7552 the best way would be 24 hour energy
Uh, I installed repentance and i dont seem to find the challenge: Family man... I got the both key pieces in 1 run i beat the lamb, isaac, blue baby, satan, mega satan,delirium, hush but i still dont have it. Any clues?
Why is this video not more popuar? This is really helpful and the video is well made, quality content
Even after coming back to this nearly a month later, I'm surprised it didnt get at least 1k views.
Nevermind, it's finally gaining traction
Don’t worry when the dlc comes out Isaac is coming back to life
@@bananaborealis6064 21k now
@@cr3at1ve_nam3 I didn't know it blew up so much in 2 months.
man, i look on entire youtube and just this video have this really good content
Man, I found this video completely by mistake but it was exactly what I needed to hear, my issac runs are about to get so much better, thanks for sharing man!
You're welcome! I started making these guides literally 1 video ago, so I don't have much of a following - best bet of someone who could use this seeing this video is probably just linking to it (if you know anyone like that), but no pressure, I'm not looking for views or subs, but rather people genuinely finding my content useful.
Hey man, while the topic is hot, check the steam announcements for Issac, post and release date on Repentance was just released, major hype! Also I respect what you said man, keep it up because you obviously know your stuff
Wow, you're pretty quick, that was just a few hours ago!
December 31st, huh? Technically within their deadline of "Q3/Q4 2020". I'll see what I can do.
@@Meatnyan Yeah, about...December...
@@Meatnyanhow do you unlock cellar?
"The Family Man"
Hey Louis, remember when I was in The Binding of Isaac?
“This is even worse then the time I got trisagon and ipecac!”

"Yeah that was frickin sweet, ehehehehehe"
Would like to see an update to this for repentance
Read the description
@@speedyx3493 And? The point still stands, Repentance brought a crapload of new items, new synergies, and some serious changes to existing stuff.
While helpful, we need an update.
@@Rathbone_fan_account *echo chamber and rock bottom has entered the chat*
Well,what I can say is first off unlock the blue womb,by beating moms heart 10 times,then beat hush 3 times (azazel reccomended despite the nerf.) To unlock the alt path
Now to side track,unlock greedier mode im not sure about the exact unlock but you need to donate at least under 600 coins to the donation machine,obviously this is alot of money so we need game breaks,maybe go for blank card,and obviously the d20 (beat issac as eden for blank card,and beat ??? As issac for the d20) so for issac either get lucky and beat ??? Without the dice or beat issac as ??? To unlock the d6 for him
OH,and unlock the Polaroid by beating issac 5 times
Now that our two game breaks are unlocked beat ultra greedier as issac to unlock the d1,the first piece to the puzzle
Now let's go to the alt path,beat mother to unlock the way to dogma
And now,unlock cain by getting 55 coins in a run,shouldnt be hard
Now go to the ascent as cain,open moms box to unlock the red key,go outside the room and use it to unlock the final piece of the puzzle,tainted cain!
Now from here you can do whatever you want,you unlock some amazing items from the start and an essential one (clicker)
But you maybe confused right now,why is he so good? Well,he can craft any item in the game (except key items) which makes him an absolute powerhouse
Now you'd want to start a t cain run,craft d1 and car battery,you can look up the recipes for it,I'd also like to point out birthright,its an item that changes effect depending on which character you play,for here it's a luxury considering the hard character,so get the recourses to make the d1 and car battery,you need to find a battery on the ground,then infinitely duplicate it,which means you can infinitely duplicate it and it snowballs from there
This is where the clicker comes into play,you can change into any character in the game,now you may have none but tainted cain unlocked,this means you need to change to normal characters,the only extra life that can help you with this is ankh,as its unlocked by default,now you craft the items you want and make alot of random items,the reason is you lose an item everytime you use the clicker,you can now change into normal characters and change into the character you want and get their unlocks and keep your amazing items
That should be it! I cant believe I wasted this much time writing this.
@@hemz5882 I appreciate your effort and ty for the guide but some cool unlocks without a 1h t Cain run would be nice
This video is great! I just got Binding again for the first time in a couple years and i’m starting all over, so this is super helpful for getting good items so i can be on my way to crazy runs again. 🙏
This video was super helpful, you explained everything like you would to a complete beginner and not assuming any prior knowledge. Wish there was more videos explaining stuff in this way since it would allow more players to get into the game. Time stamps in the desc are also nice
This video is the help we never got from other isaac content creators. Nice job and it was very helpful.
Jesus, that video is incredible! I can only imagine how long it took to produce. You went all the way for most of it, just to show it on video. Very nice! Thank you
Awesome video, thank you!
Great structure and chosen unlockables, useful in-depth explainations where people might need it, very enjoyable narration and editing, and a nice bit of humour as well.
Just bought afterbirth+ in 2023, and i found this game way too good. I love the guide you've done aswell. Very easy to understand and straight forward. Never knew there was so much to discover in isaac.
Why wouldn’t you get repentance since it is the most recent and came out in 2021?
@@anti-ethniccleansing465maybe he want to play AB+ for a bit (20-50 hours) before buying repentance because repentance is harder and it will block your way of unlocking essential items
@@rafiihsanalfathin9479
How so? How does it block your way to getting essential items?
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 sorry for the ambigous wording, i meant harder to unlock stuff because the difficulty is increased and the more powerful item is rebalanced, i also think that repentance is not for a beginner who doesn’t know anything
@@rafiihsanalfathin9479
I see. I 100% rebirth, but had to start over for repentance (never played afterbirth) because repentance isn’t available on my ps vita (I’m using the Switch now). It’s crazy how much bigger the game got! I don’t think I’ll be able to 100% it now because of not only the difficulty spike with characters, but the lack of having my PS Plus exploit to use any time I didn’t like an outcome lol.
Totally underrated guide man, this is awesome
This guide made the game SOOOOOOO much better THANK YOU!
Wow I can't believe this video has less than 5000 views. This was such a great guide, and well edited too. Keep it up!
it has 137k now, haha!
Nearly 200k now lmao
600k
it had under 500k? its at 810k+ lol i guess alot of people like me coming back or are new to isaac since this vid
990k by noq
This video deserves more attention. Very good guide.
Thank you for the great video, this will definitely improve my experience with the game since I beated mom today for the first time
This is the definition of underrated
Thank you sooo much this was incredibly helpful! I had no idea what else too do in isaac but this restoked my interest in isaac again. This was an awsome video and I encourage you to make more like it! Thanks again.
there is always stuff to do in isaac until you get the dead god achievement ^^
lost my progress and started a fresh save after a long break and I've been looking for a guide like this to help me remember all of this, thank you so much
How did you lose your progress?
Bro this videos is amazing. I can't just imagine the amount of work surrounding it. This is literally one of the best informative videos in youtube about this game and has less than 2k views!!! And most importantly, it is very entertaining. I already have all items in the game but i watches the whole thing. 👍
@@boristheviewbot6056The comment was made 5 months before you replied, maybe it blew up since then
Dang this guide is so dang amazing.
I hope you get more subscribers because you truly deserve them!
GG!
Just started playing issac and this recommendation was really helpful hope you start making more content soon :)
I have 250 hours in Isaac but I took a 3 month break from the game before starting a new file and I forgot almost everything about the game, so this helped me a ton. Thank you
I absolutely love this video is entertainig to watch and is super useful. Thats some quality content right there
I hope this video will help a lot of people
Bro: 640k+ views, nice and clear video, 10/10 tutorial, chill voice, good vibes... You have to make more videos for sure. GJ!
This video is great! I only have rebirth but it's been helping me get some great unlockables, specially d6, completly changes the game with that simple reroll, makes it so much more fun! Thanks!
Underrated youtuber . your guides are very helpful, carry on
Got into Isaac recently and this video was exactly what i was looking for! (as I dont have repentance yet)
Idk if you are even active on this account anymore but thankyou for the video, it is great :)
Amazing video man! Definitely going to use this, tysm!
After much time of not playing Tboi and started with Repeteance, i need this video, Thanks.
I literally just got back into playing this a few hours ago, after about 2 years… CZcams recommendations could not have delivered in a more perfect time.
This video really helped me out! Was suprised to see that this doesnt have many views!
Please more this is the exact type of isaac content I love.
Commenting for the algorithm and to thank you for making this godlike video. You're doing God's work homie, three thumbs up lol
Oh my goodness, I’ve always said I wanted a guide like this.
This is a great video. I’ve been playing Isaac for a while now but just casually on and off, lots of stuff I had unlocked but didn’t know how helpful they were. Very well spoken for somebody who is bilingual too! 👌🙏
"With the downside of never being able to pick up red hearts..."
**proceeds to show the polaroid**
Lol
Just wanna say, incredibly helpful. Thank you man🙏🙏🙏
Really informal and high quality video. Just subbed
Great video! Unlocking certain runes is definitely good advice
THANK YOU!!!!
MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS PLEASE?!
(P.S you may need to make an updated video for this as for the repentance DLC you can no longer use blank card to replicate runes as runes have their own blank rune for such an effect!)
Thank you so much for showing how to use the D20, seriously I've never considered it because i thought it was kinda lame but now I'll use in greed mode if i find it, thank you again!
thank you so much for telling me. I recently buyed it and didn't know about all of them! you should've had more subs.
I would love to se more videos like this, awesome work
Thank you for a great video. As someone already said, it should be more popular!
If I may say, if you so happen to get We Need To Go Deeper before you beat Mom for the first time and use it on the floor that Mom is in, you can get to the Womb before even beating Mom! This can also get you into Sheol before you ever beat Mom's Heart once. I know this because it literally happened to me on my first run.
Yep. Both happened to me lmao
You can go to cathedral too if after mom's heary a angel room apears
Job well done man, thank you for the excellent video!
Thank you recommendations. This is high quality content!
Great video! It would have been really helpful for me when I started playing Isaac.
This is the best video for starters on youtube.
good video, perfect instructions for beginners
i just want to take notice of a small detail: it is better to recharge the d20 BEFORE opening the chests in the greed room, as it rerolls the empty chests too, getting a little bit more of consumables
I don’t understand what you wrote. What matters is when you use the d20, not when you recharge it. And he was using it after opening the chests.
I don’t own Repentance *yet* but this really helps me since I only have Afterbirth+. Watching this in 2022 and still learning that I haven’t unlocked Bloody Penny made me feel embarrassed lol. Thanks!
Nice soothing voice bro kept me listening
Always wondered how to get to those areas and now I know!
Just started a new AB+ file, this is really helpful dude
this is still such a good video even tho it isnt that useful as it was in ab+ it really really helped me when i was starting and you made it really entertaining to watch. i have dead god since months ago already but i still remember this video from time to time and come back to check hehe
I love that I unlocked blank card with this guide....... Only for me playing 40 consecutive runs of it not appearing hilarious Edmund
Please upload again, your videos are so entertaining
Thanks for the video. Once I unlocked moms knife I was able to beat mega satan
Thanks for the guide it really helps a lot
please upload more!! your voice is p nice and plus I mean you could make another one of these for the newer dlc!
Dude, you deserve WAY more subs. Great vid! And now I know some more items i should unlock, thanks!
Loved this video, very helpful! Any chance of a Repentance follow up?
now that rep is out, this is rellay useful for me thanks!!
oh yeah i started a new save for rep
Just 82 subs? Man you need more than that
Amazing video i love it, game is extremely complicated for new players!
Cool vid man, really helps!
I have the repentance dlc and im kinda New in the game this guide was perfect i didnt know you can get unlockables in normal mode
This video was so helpful thank you
You helped me a lot. Thanks!
I just got tboi and this really helped thanks!
Thanks. You help me a lot. I started Isaac from a week and i was stuck whitout nothing to do
A little tip:
Charge the d20 up before opening the chests; doing so, rerolls also the "unlocked chest" that is on the floor for extra pickups.
I thought I knew a lot about this game for a beginner, dude you taught me so much in such a short amount of time, thanks
You should make more voiced content. I find your voice to be really pleasant to listen to. And your mic quality is mad decent too. Cheers!
Thank you very much. 1 month ago I was like "Holy shit beat Mom's Heart 11 times?!" Now I've beaten both the Lamb and ??? On multiple characters and unlocked almost everything in this video.
Edit: Scratch that I've just beaten Mega Satan for the first time
good job Azazel is my go-to character for trying for mega satan or other hard bosses satan mega form is a hard boss because he has hard-to-dodge attacks and a second phase making him use alot of fire attacks
Thank you, a lot of usefull info that I didnt know
wow bro great video!
Thanks bro, that's will help a lot, can you make a video with the items of the new dlc too?
hey so just a quick note you can use the "Anhk" item to revive as ???, making it so you only have to do a single room with him making obtaining the d6 much easier
That is very inconsistent as the game has 5 billion items and you need that specific one.
@@Ahmadkhadr. no mf shit this is tboi, its one of the roguelikes that either you must break it or it will break you. just hold r key until you get a treasure room with a item in it my guy
I too, struggle with the random Bloats in basement 1(v useful video)
Awesome vid. Very helpful
very helpfull! i love the sped up mother sound lmao
Where G O D H E A D
awesome video dawg
a more update for repentance: in repentance theres now the alt path, which is unlocked by beating hush 3 times, and you can access it by beating mom's heart 10 times and reaching hush in 30 minutes or less
some good characters to beat hush with are:
magdelene: unlocks purity, giving a massive tears, damage, speed, or range up until you get hit, and it shuffles into a new one
eve: unlocks athame, giving enemies a fairly high chance of spawning a black brimstone-esque ring when they die, making it one of the best room clearing items in the game
azazel: unlocks maw of the void, remember those black rings spawned by athame? its basically that but on command on a fixed charge timer
eden: eden's blessing, a tears up and a random item on your next run, making your next start a bit easier
lilith, whos unlocked by beating greed mode as azazel: probably the best to unlock out of all of these, giving you a familiar that shoots your exact tears at 75% damage, making it technically 20/20 with a bit higher dps, however its harder to aim with the incubus than 20/20 so it balances out overall
you might wanna also unlock bethany at this point, as she has some really good unlocks, she can be unlocked by beating mom's heart on hard mode without losing a life as lazarus
when you unlock bethany id also suggest taking a detour and beat isaac and ??? as her to unlock book of virtues, basically giving your active items an upgrade, and blessed penny which makes it so pennies have a chance of dropping half soul hearts, which are both incredibly potent items
after unlocking the alt path, here are some good characters to beat mother with
bethany: unlocks revelation, basically the holy variant of maw of the void which has lower dps in exchange for 2 soul hearts and flight, and a straight beam rather than a circle
if you unlock him, keeper: you probably wont have him for a while now but this unlocks keeper's sack, basically making it so buying items gives you some damage, range and speed
cain: unlocks guppy's eye, giving you another guppy piece to find alongside having the benefit of seeing whats in chests, sacks, and other miscellaneous things which drop items like fires and keeper statues
eden: unlocks 'M, which is a trinket which rerolls your active item whenever you use it, this sounds bad on paper but when you realise you can drop a trinket this becomes super broken, basically letting you get any super powerful active item if you use it enough
after beating mother, you'll unlock jacob and esau, one of the hardest characters in the game, but also has some of the most powerful unlocks in the game, like rock bottom, the stairway, birthright, damocles, and genesis
you'll also unlock seeing double and isaac's awakening, seeing double unlocking an ok trinket, while isaac's awakening unlocks spirit sword, giving a really powerful item, however its not too synergistic and it'll end up giving you hand cramps probably
you'll also unlock a mysterious door which can be openned by using the polaroid or negative on it, which is where i'll end this, you'll have to explore that for yourself
Make more videos my guy!
Whoa I had no idea there was so much more to this game then I thought I died so many times when I first downloaded it I removed it to make room for different games but I think I’ll try this again.
I was very surprised by how easy it is to unlock Azazel considering how powerful he is
My man really helped new players with a whole guide telling them which items to unlock first and completely disappeared from CZcams
It do be like that
Hey man, great video! Are you planning on making an updated one but with Repentance unlocks?
Thanks a ton! I've just gotten into issac (i've had rebirth for a while, but just recently bought both the DLCs) and this is just what I need to get up to speed.
That is, until repentance comes along and adds even more things.
Must took ages to edit but the result is really awesome
I've been playing the game since Wrath of The Lamb, so I'm really experienced in the game, but this is really helpful to new players
Really nice video :D
I'd love to see an updated version of this video.
Thanks! This is really informative for a new issac player like myself.
Also "to get samson you SIMPLY dont take damage for two floors"
oof
Hah, it's not that bad. Restart until you get a good item room as Azazel and you'll get it in no time.
@@Meatnyan Thanks! I was literally just playing and beat until the second boss (Dingle), taking zero damage. Then I ran into the a lil poop thing :( sad times
I needed this video
i got 1000000% and still watched this all the way through
Same
Tip for Greedmode with D20: opened chests are pick ups too, so to break greedmode faster you should buy battery first, and then open all chests.
I really liked the #17 waka waka challenge because you can just spam a bunch of tears in a specific place while moving and attract all the enemies nearby killing everything and depleting bullets without minimal effort
