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

Effects

  • On use, spawns a random friendly monster that mimics Isaac's movements and attacks, similar to Character Jacob and Esau icon.pngJacob and Esau.
  • Friendly monsters can take damage from flames, spikes, and other hazards.

Notes

  • Currently, there are 21 monsters that can be spawned in:
  • Certain enemies will have a crosshair to show where they are firing, mainly those with stringed attacks. A Black Bony.pngBlack Bony will only keep the crosshair until it fires all three shots, but a Holy Bony.pngHoly Bony will keep its crosshair for as long as fire keys are held.
  • Bullets fired from friendly mobs will still visibly blink as if they're an enemy bullet, and will be highlighted if Bullet Visibility is set to High, despite not harming Isaac.

Synergies

Interactions

  • Ace Cards: Monsters spawned by Friend Finder are still affected by Ace Cards.
  • Collectible Blood Puppy icon.pngBlood Puppy: Either angry version of Blood Puppy will target friendly enemies as well and can drag them along with it when it charges them. Blood Puppy cannot damage friendly enemies however friendly enemies can damage Blood Puppy despite not targeting it outright.
  • Collectible Broken Modem icon.pngBroken Modem: Broken Modem also affects friendly enemies and projectiles created by them.
  • Collectible Eraser icon.pngEraser: If Friend Finder attempts to spawn an erased monster it will simply fail and waste the charge, instead of choosing a different monster.

  • Collectible Glowing Hourglass icon.pngGlowing Hourglass: 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 friendly enemies. (This is possibly a bug)

  • TickTick: Friendly enemies start with less health if they have 60HP or more.
