Soul hearts are temporary: once they’re gone, they’re gone unlike your regular heart containers that stay even if you suffer damage Soul hearts always stack on top of your existing hearts (which means that they will “get hit” before your red hearts, and 2. Soul hearts are grey-colored hearts that function almost exactly the same as regular hearts, with two important distinctions 1. There are two main exceptions: Special Case 3: Soul hearts Your regular hearts aren’t the only source of health in TBoI. See the references for more information.Ģ Other sources of health 2.1 Soul hearts and Demon hearts Several of these also come with one or more additional changes, but for the purposes of this guide I will not list them all. Old Bandage (only gives you an empty heart container) In general, you can gain extra heart containers by obtaining an “HP-up” pickup item like the following Magic Mushroom Once you’ve reached this maximum, you cannot pick up additional hearts unless they are empty (that is, after you’ve taken damage.

Most of what I’m writing here should be applicable to the original Flash version, but I’m making no guarantees: it’s been at least 4 years since I last touched that version. The vast majority of my experience is with the Nicalis version of the game-that is, The Binding of Isaac Rebirth/Afterbirth/Afterbirth+.
