Each time Lazarus dies, he gains a +0.5 damage up to both forms. When moving on to a new floor after losing an extra life on that floor, Lazarus Risen will revert back to Lazarus, and regain an extra life. This cannot bring Lazarus below one heart container. Upon transforming into Lazarus Risen, Lazarus loses one heart container, instead of removing all but one. Additionally, Lazarus Risen's Anemic effect is permanent and no longer requires him to take damage. Though low on health, his improved stats counterbalance this weakness well.Īfter Challenge 31: Backasswards is beaten, Lazarus starts with Anemic.
His revived form has increased base stats, with above-average damage, speed, and range. He has slightly lower Range and Luck than Isaac but also starts with an extra life. He starts with three red heart containers and a double-blue pill of a random effect. He was introduced as a character in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.
Lazarus is unlocked once the player has four or more Soul Hearts (or Black Hearts) at once during a run.
