Learn about The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth items like Book of Belial, Book of Revelations, Book of Shadows, Book of Sin, Dead Sea Scrolls, and Doctor's Remote.

The Book of Belial is Judas' starting item. It provides a temporary damage increase of 1 or 2 points and has a recharge of only 3 rooms. While its usefulness diminishes in later stages of the game, it can significantly ease the early levels. Holding onto the Book of Belial also increases the chance of a Devil Room appearing.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Book of Revelations

The Book of Revelations is an item in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. It is located at Table Position Row 6, Column 10 and has a room recharge of 6 rooms. When used, it grants the character a Soul Heart. If held when defeating the level boss, it makes the Devil Room much more likely to appear and increases the chance that the boss battle will be one of the Harbingers.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Book of Shadows

The Book of Shadows is an item in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. It is located at Table Position Row 7, Column 5 and has a room recharge of 3 rooms. Its effect creates a shield around the character for a few seconds, protecting from both projectile and touch attacks, rendering the character invincible during this time. The shield flashes when it is about to disappear. While useful for dire circumstances, its short invincibility duration and 3-room recharge make it less critical if you play carefully.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Book of Sin

The Book of Sin is an item in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. It is located at Table Position Row 10, Column 7 and has a room recharge of 4 rooms. When used, it spawns a random pickup (Heart, Key, Penny or variant), a Tarot Card, or a Pill.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Dead Sea Scrolls

The Dead Sea Scrolls is an item in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. It is located at Table Position Row 12, Column 3 and has a room recharge of 4 rooms. When used, it grants a random item, including those not yet unlocked. The name of the received item is displayed in the bottom right corner. It can also grant a recharge item that is used automatically. This item is generally good, though item effects can vary from poor to amazing, with the potential to receive overpowered unlocked items.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Doctor's Remote

The Doctor's Remote is an item in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. It is located at Table Position Row 6, Column 3 and has a room recharge of 3 rooms.

Tips
  • The Book of Belial's damage boost becomes less significant as you progress, but its ability to increase Devil Room appearances remains valuable.
  • The Book of Shadows provides temporary invincibility, useful for difficult enemy encounters, but its recharge time is relatively long.
  • The Dead Sea Scrolls can yield powerful unlocked items, making it a high-risk, high-reward item.
