Paschal Candle is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.
Effects
- Gives Isaac a candle familiar that grants a Fire Rate bonus of +0.4 for each room cleared in a row without taking damage, which stacks up to 5 times (Max. +2 Fire Rate), represented by how brightly the flame burns. Starts at 1 stack, and resets to zero if damage is taken.
Notes
- The Fire Rate bonus can exceed the normal Fire Rate cap.
- Any self-damage, such as from
Curse Rooms, 
Sacrifice Rooms, the Bad Trip pill, spiked chests, and self-damaging items such as 
IV Bag, won't reset the bonus.
- Any self-damage, such as from
- Clearing waves in Greed Mode will give the candle charges as if you cleared rooms.
- Familiars that follow behind Isaac have a certain priority in how close their position is to him over other familiars, with Paschal Candle having the lowest priority at
6th / 
8th and thus being farther from Isaac than familiars of different priorities.
Synergies
Holy Mantle / any similar item: The flame is not snuffed out when damage is negated by the shield.
Interactions
BFFS!: The candle appears larger, but otherwise does not change.
Paschal Candle: No extra familiars or stat boosts are granted from copies.
Trivia
