This article is about Marked, not to be confused with The Mark.

Marked is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.

Effects

  • Creates a controllable crosshair. Isaac automatically and continuously fires towards the crosshair.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) The crosshair will not appear in each room until Isaac fires. Pressing the "drop" key or button (Keyboard default: left Control key; Controller default: right trigger) will make the crosshair disappear and stop Isaac from firing tears until a firing key is pressed again.[1]
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Shooting familiars and throwable familiars now fire towards or launch themselves in the direction of the crosshair automatically.
  • +0.7 tears.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) +3.0 range.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) +3.15 range.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) +0.3 tear falling speed.

Notes

  • On PC, it is possible to control Marked with the mouse. On Windows, go to C:/Users/[username]/Documents/My Games/The Binding Of Isaac [Rebirth/Afterbirth/Afterbirth+/Repentance/Repentance+]/ and in the options.ini file, change the line that says MouseControl=0 to MouseControl=1.
  • (in Repentance+) Marked's quality is treated as 1 for the purposes of Bag of Crafting.

Synergies

  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Brimstone: Automatically charges and fires in the direction of the mark. The angle the beam is shot from Isaac will correct itself when the mark or Isaac repositions to continue hitting the mark.
  • (in Afterbirth †) Camo Undies: Isaac will stay camouflaged until the crosshair is moved. If you control Marked with the mouse (only possible on PC) Camo Undies will stay camouflaged.
  • Chocolate Milk: Charge and fire rate based on proximity to mark. Fully charges when farther away, charges less but fires faster when closer. Damage scales with the distance between Isaac and the crosshair.
  • Cursed Eye: Greatly increases the firing rate without needing to charge. The teleporting effect of the eye is removed.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Lil Brimstone: While firing, Lil Brimstone automatically charges and fires the beam immediately upon full charge, the beam will now target the crosshair.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Maw Of The Void/Montezuma's Revenge: While firing, these items charge automatically and activate immediately upon full charge.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Mom's Knife: Charge and fire rate based on proximity to mark. Fully charges when farther away, charges less but fires faster when closer.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Monstro's Lung: Automatically charges and fires in the direction of the mark.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth)Pointy Rib: The rib familiar will aim at the crosshair.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Quints: The spawned familiars will aim at the crosshair.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Revelation: Light beams are charged and fired at the crosshair automatically at a fixed angle from Isaac.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Rocket in a Jar: Bombs placed will blast at the crosshair, and cannot be placed normally until the crosshair disappears.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Tech X: Fires in the direction of the crosshair, with charging time proportionate to the distance of the crosshair from Isaac.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Tractor Beam: The beam is aimed at Marked's crosshair. Moving the crosshair rotates the entire beam along with any tears inside it.

Interactions

  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Character Lilith icon.pngLilith : Marked gives the stat upgrades but not the mark.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Character Tainted Lilith icon.pngTainted Lilith : When the baby is launched, it permanently fires at the crosshair. Pressing the "drop" key or button (Keyboard default: left Control key; Controller default: right trigger) will make the crosshair disappear and cause the baby to return to Tainted Lilith.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) Character The Forgotten icon.pngThe Forgotten / (in Repentance and Repentance+) Character Tainted Forgotten icon.pngTainted Forgotten : Gives stats up without any drawbacks, and allows the bone to be angled in any direction, similar to (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth)Analog Stick.
  • Anti-Gravity: The tear hover effect is nullified, though the tear delay down is applied.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Brimstone/Mom's Knife/Monstro's Lung/Technology/Tech X: Overrides Marked, stat bonuses still apply.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth)Dead Tooth: The green aura only activates when pressing the buttons to fire Isaac's tears.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Dr. Fetus: Continuously fires bombs towards the marked spot.
  • Epic Fetus: Continuously fires missiles at the marked spot.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+)If the crosshair is dismissed before the next missile is dropped, it still drops in the crosshair’s last position.
  • Epiphora: Both items work as normal, with tear rate gradually increasing until Isaac turns his head, which can happen via him or the crosshair moving too out of parallel.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Eye of the Occult: Tears will always attempt to land on the crosshair, changing direction mid-air to do so.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)GB Bug: Unaffected by Marked.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Gnawed Leaf: Tears will stop auto-firing once Isaac is invulnerable.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Gnawed Leaf cannot activate while Isaac is auto-firing.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Lil Brimstone: Lil Brimstone only charges while moving the mark.
  • The Ludovico Technique: Overrides Marked, but stat bonuses still apply.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth)Mr. ME!: The Mr. ME! crosshair will move constantly in the direction of the Marked crosshair relative to Isaac. It will not attempt to match with where Marked is aiming, making it difficult to control. Pressing the drop button will stop the Mr. ME! crosshair.
  • My Little Unicorn/Unicorn Stump/Taurus: Isaac's tears will still fire, but he will be unable to move the crosshair while invincible.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) The crosshair can still be spawned while invincible.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Spirit Sword: Overrides Marked, but stat bonuses still apply, and allows the sword to be angled in any direction, similar to Analog Stick.

  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Technology 2: Laser only fires while the crosshair is moving, and only in cardinal directions.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Tractor Beam: Tears are fired automatically but only in cardinal directions.
  • Tiny Planet: The tears' center of orbit can be slightly modified using the crosshair.

In-game Footage

Trivia

  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) This item's icon shares the same icon as Zodiac but red instead of white. Character Isaac icon.pngIsaac's sprite is also the same as Zodiac but red instead of black.
  • The mark on the ground is the same as used by Epic Fetus.

Bugs

Bug Bug! (in Afterbirth †) Mom's Knife + Haemolacria: Causes the crosshair to follow the camera instead of player input. In normal rooms this makes the crosshair get stuck in the middle. In larger rooms, the marker will only move when the camera moves, allowing for minimal control when aiming due to how the camera moves based on the direction Isaac is currently aiming.
