II - The High Priestess is a card.

Effects

  • Boss Mom ingame.pngMom's dismembered leg stomps on the enemy with the most health, dealing 300 damage and destroying obstacles in the area.
  • If used in an empty room or during the Boss Mom ingame.pngMom fight, the foot stomps Isaac instead, dealing a full heart of damage.
    • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) Isaac can move to avoid the stomp.

Notes

  • The stomp is considered to be an explosion.
    • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Isaac can thus be immune to it with (except in Rebirth)Host HatHost Hat or PyromaniacPyromaniac
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Although it remains an explosion for other purposes, these items no longer protect Isaac against the stomp.

Strategy

  • Since the foot is an explosion, it can be used as a substitute for Bomb.pngBombs.
    • It can break rocks and open doors to Secret RoomSecret Rooms. (in Repentance and Repentance+) However, unlike bombs, it cannot destroy machines and Beggar.pngBeggars.
    • In a room containing no enemies and a Shopkeeper.pngShopkeeper, the foot will target it instead of Isaac.
  • The foot deals 300 damage, enough to heavily weaken or even kill some bosses.
    • All Chapter 1 bosses can be one shot from full health with one use of II - The High Priestess (except Boss The Fallen ingame.pngThe Fallen for its two phases).
