Maggy's Faith is an unlockable trinket.

Effects

Notes

  • The eternal heart is added directly to Isaac's heart containers, as opposed to appearing as a pickup.
  • The effect will also be triggered when the floor is reset (for example, with Collectible Forget Me Now icon.pngForget Me Now).
  • Character Eden icon.pngEden will not be given the eternal heart on the first floor if they start with this trinket.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) When held as Character The Forgotten icon.pngThe Forgotten, the eternal heart will be given to whichever character is being controlled when entering the next floor.
  • (in Repentance) When going though the Ascent, eternal hearts will be given for each floor traveled up.

Synergies

  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Glowing Hourglass icon.pngGlowing Hourglass: Eternal hearts will persist if the item is immediately used on the next floor, allowing for another eternal heart for free.
  • (in Repentance)Golden Trinket Golden Trinket/Maggy's FaithMaggy's Faith/(except in Rebirth)Collectible Mom's Box icon.pngMom's Box: Each effect/trinket copy stacks granting one additional eternal heart at the start of every floor per stack with every pair of eternal hearts granted immediately giving Isaac a heart container.

Trivia

  • Maggy's Faith is most likely a reference to Mary Magdalene's faith in Jesus. Mary was said to be one Jesus trusted most and she stayed with Him past the abandonment of His disciples, as well as being the first person He showed Himself to after His resurrection.[1]
    • It may also be a reference to Mom, with her name being revealed to be Maggy during the Ascent sequence.
  • "Faith's reward" may constitute a contraction of the adage "Faith is its own reward", although use of the word 'faith' in the game is conflicted, as it also used in the quote for the Rosary BeadRosary Bead, in reference to Angel RoomAngel Rooms.
  • (in Repentance) This trinket is used in Baptism by Fire (challenge #38).

Bugs

Bug Bug! (except in Rebirth) When held as Character Keeper icon.pngKeeper, blue flies will not be spawned instead of the eternal heart, making the trinket useless.
