This article is about Bloody Lust, not to be confused with Lusty Blood or Bloody Gust.

Bloody Lust is an unlockable passive item.

Effects

  • Damage increases as Isaac receives damage. The damage increase stays for the whole floor, but resets upon entering a new floor.
    • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) The first three times Isaac is hit, his damage is increased by 0.5. The next three times Isaac is hit, his damage is increased by 33%.
      • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Damage is increased by flat amounts: +0.5 for the first hit and an additional +0.2 for each hit, until +1.5 at the sixth. The maximum total is +6.0.
    • Any damage taken past the sixth hit does not further increase damage.
  • Isaac becomes redder as his damage increases.

Notes

  • Character Samson icon.pngSamson starts with this item by default.

Synergies

  • Collectible Blood Rights icon.pngBlood Rights / Collectible Razor Blade icon.pngRazor Blade / Collectible IV Bag icon.pngIV Bag: The damage from the items count for the stats up.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Birthright icon.pngBirthright + Character Samson icon.pngSamson: Birthright allows him to gain 4 more damage boosts at the same +0.2 intervals, for a new maximum total of +14.0.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth)Collectible Dull Razor icon.pngDull Razor: Safely provides the damage boost without needing to take damage.

Interactions

  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Diplopia icon.pngDiplopia: No effect, damage up still caps at +6 and increases at the same intervals
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Bloody Gust icon.pngBloody Gust: Bloody Lust's "rage" effect is shared with Bloody Gust, so if Isaac picks up Bloody Gust after already getting hit with Bloody Lust (or vice versa) the boosts will automatically update to that level.

In-game Footage

Trivia

  • In the original Binding of Isaac, Bloody Lust only lasted for one room and the damage increase was triggered by killing enemies.
    • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Lusty Blood icon.pngLusty Blood now has the effect of the original Bloody Lust.
  • On the character select screen, Samson's starting item is spelled as "Blood Lust".
  • Even if Bloody Lust is removed, Isaac will keep the same level of "rage" for the rest of the level. This means that his boosts will automatically update to that level if he picks up another Bloody Lust or a (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Bloody Gust icon.pngBloody Gust on the same level.
