Womb

The Womb is the fourth chapter of the game, unlocked after beating Mom. From the Womb onwards, all damage taken will do a full heart of damage to the player's health (unless the player has The Wafer), regardless of the source. Like the Depths/Necropolis/Dank Depths, the Womb's second floor has a preset boss that will always be fought: Mom's Heart initially, and It Lives after beating Mom's Heart 11 times.

The Womb has two alternate floors. The Utero, which, unlike alternate floors before it, does not need to be unlocked separately from the Womb and the Scarred Womb.

Starting from this chapter onwards, floors do not naturally generate item rooms or shops.

Mom's Heart	It Lives

Notes

It is possible to access the Womb before unlocking it by using a Rune of Ehwaz or We Need To Go Deeper! on The Depths II.
Using the Rune of Ehwaz or We Need To Go Deeper on Womb/Utero II will lead the player to Sheol, which will skip any of Mom's Heart's endings.
Since shops no longer spawn in the Womb, it may be advisable to donate Isaac's remaining coins to the Donation Machine in the shop on Depths II.
Beggars still have a chance to spawn in Secret Rooms or can be spawned with XX - Judgement, so some coins should be saved if you want to donate them to a Beggar.

Unlockable Achievements

Eden - Complete Chapter 4.

Pop! - Beat Chapter 4 without taking damage.

Mama's Boy - Beat Chapter 4 without taking damage.

Trivia

The Womb being mentioned in Isaac's last will as a "warm place" is a reference to how the inner human body temperature is quite high.
The Womb has a slight static filter covering the screen, possibly to represent heat.
- The Utero shares this same static filter.
In the original Binding of Isaac, Lokii and Teratoma were exclusive to the Utero.
- Teratoma was moved back to the Utero.

Music

The music for the Womb is titled Viscera.^[1]
- The term viscera represents the internal organs in the body.
- The Utero shares this same track.
The music heard during the fight against Mom's Heart/It Lives is called Ventricide. Ventricide combines ventricle, a word that means a hollow area in an organ and is often associated with the heart, and the suffix -cide, which denotes the act of killing.
