Mechanics

What Genesis does

  • Genesis removes Isaac’s items and pickups, then sends him to a special bedroom with pickups and chests.
  • For each removed item, choose one of three replacements from that item’s pool.
  • Leaving the bedroom advances the run to the next floor.

How to unlock it

Defeat Ultra Greedier as Jacob and Esau.

Practical note

Consider the current build before using it: the replacements come from the removed items’ pools, so specific synergies are not preserved.
