For those (like me) that doesn’t know what “Akeldama” means, it’s a location in Jerusalem. In the Bible is known as “The Field of Blood”, where Judas killed himself after betraying Jesus (that’s why it’s a Judas unlock) It was also used to bury victims from the “hospital” run by the Christians during the period of the Crusades (maybe that’s why the icon resemble human guts? “The item say “spill your guts”)
Acts 1:18 With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.
Akeldama is a place in Jerusalem where Judas hanged itself. And about the guts, Acts 1:15 say that after hanging himself, the rope broke, his body fell into some rocks, opening his body and his intestines fell to the ground.

Don't really think that it gets anywhere above 6, as it is pretty mediocre (in practice, not designing conception) to me. Chasing enemies are more or less just sidekicks for ranged enemies now, and this don't really helps positioning while facing both. Also, it has to be flailed around in a similar manner of Guppy's hairball if you really need it for damage output. It does have a few cool and broken synergies though. 5 to 5.5 in my view, mostly because the treasure room pool is too wide
Sounds about right for something that needs synergies to be noticeably good or is just sort of meh unless you get specific enemies to counter that give chase in a simple pattern like a globin. Even green flies can make it look lack luster if you don't have good enough speed to reposition constantly when they sidestep it. I mean, it can be good if your quick and constantly like weaving into danger to give damage, but if your build isn't geared toward that it will probably be more work to make it work well than just letting it mindlessly follow you and hope it strikes something.
To clarify: Mother, AKA The Witness is the green mass of sinew found at the end of the corpse, one of the new paths in Repentance. The one with the knife miniquest.
@@FAISALMILAN Also while we are at it (i guess spoiler for final boss of the game?) when someone mentions to kill the beast for an unlock, they mean Dogma, since Beast is just the phase 3 of the boss. I was confused by this at first lmao
@@world9870 But the requisite of unlock is actually killing The Beast. Although it is a continuation of Dogma's fight, you do defeat Dogma (both phases), and if you don't kill The Beast on sequence, it serves no purpose. For instance, if you have 9 Lives and die during any of Dogma's two stages, it gets you back on the last Home room and you have to restart the battle; on the other hand, if you die on The Beast fight, it revives you on the same place and you don't have to start it over.
Can we delete gnawed leaf already? Useless item whose only purpose is to carry a run by being afk. That's not a good thing to have in the game. Either delete it or rework it, maybe drastically lower the time needed for invulnerability but it just lasts 2 seconds.
Aquarius' pickup quote: "trail of tears"
Akeldama :
Tail of tears?
@@bobcob9248 You know, that’s pretty accurate, but it’s still kinda a trail
They look like they're spilling from his stomach, though.

Maybe its because of the version of how Judas Iscariot died
Acts 1:18
With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.
@@Metro_Stalin_Mayer thats right thank you
i grew up as a christian and went to church for many years yet im pretty sure i never heard about judas killing himself wtf
@@cheekybananaboy3361 yeah he killed himself
Could you mention the quality of the item for your future videos?

Makes sense why Judas unlocks it after beating mother
@@xanniest isn't it after beating satan?
@@therealgboi3895 Nope, you gotta beat mother. Also just noticed this sentence is pretty dark out of context.
I like nuclear war that akeldama can commit with tear detonator + ipecac/dr. Fetus
It looks like something straight out of abortionbirth
The tear detonator synergy is kinda wacky. That's basically super omega hyper tammy's head in any given situation.
and reusable infinitely many times in one room.
1 word brimstone
tammy's head + akaledama + 4.5 volt

@@hadrienlondon4990 also Tammy's head doesn't explode the tears, just make Isaac shot his main atack in many directions.
1:25 + blindfold could make an interesting challenge
The name origin of this item is pretty interesting
Judas was a pain in the ass
This with T. Jacob is just pain
How sounds good
You have to be careful to not let the tears hit Dark Esau.
Me who kills esau on intentionally:
the true whip item
It does just enough to not be mediocre, but wouldn't necessarily be exalted seeing it.
6.5/10. At least it btfo's chasing enemies.

akeldama on taited lilith is double the whippage
Tear Detonator + Trisagon + Pop?
Sounds laggy if it does what I'm thinking of
He already made a vid of this
Akeldama: Eh.
Tear Detonator: Ehhh...
Akeldama + Tear Detonator: HOLY HELL THIS JUST GOT GOOD!
Tear detonator with pop and/or triasagion:
@@Fentnihilator do you wanna crash the game?
Because trisagion + anything is how you crash the game
Picked this up with tainted jacob, never again
What happened?
@@muffinman8018 Probably got in some hot water with the constantly chasing demon known as Esau.
Guess Esau threw himself into those tears and repeatedly got his shit ruined.
Can you have multiple trails with copies of the item?
no :D
@@Syncer sad
@@coIlgnu that is repentance for you
:,(
So basically 9volt + pause + akeldama = game break as long as you are patient?
Pause only lasts a certain amount of time, sadly, but it would certainly count as OP. Not a FREE win, but close.
Pretty sure it synergies with play dough cookie
snake in isaac
Lost contact should very strong with it. You can totally surrounded by shield.
If tear effects applied to it ;-;
Amazing with Tear Detonator though. Get out of bullet hell free card.
It doesnt get detached easily like in antibirth anymore which is an improvement
1:33 "vomit party"
I feel like this item would be a lot more interesting if it scaled with damage or tear effects. As is it’s not too useful after the first few floors
Likely somone has asked but I didn't know: Did you draw the sketches of items shown in the front of videos yourself?
i think these are icons from pause menu
>Akeldama works with lilit
HOLY FUCK HOW IS IT POSSIBLE
homing + tear detonater + ipecac + this = WhyBirth's freakyou-nesis item

does it work with lost contact? it would be pretty powerful
it doesn't inherit any tear effects

Always happy to see this item tbh
This looks pretty exploitable
good job

“Oh What’s This Nah i Think i Don’t Need it”
Second Thought
it Looks Cool
How to spawn items?
Pretty cool item ngl
Akeldama is severely underrated. It's a surprisingly effective item
PSA:don't have both akeldama and pop! in the same run, trust me
Edit: nvm I just noticed this is mentioned in the video
This item is so cute and funny :D
Your videos are such excellent quality, really well done on this series, must have been a lot of work.
It’s not even bad just think how many tears will hit bosses when you try to dodge them I say it’s a good item
Okay mate
did you try it with spoon bender or sacred heart?

easily one of my favorite new items in repentance, maybe even in the game as a whole

my god this item makes tear detonator good
I think most of us defeated mother as Judas before repentance
so it should be unlocked yes?
because I have never seen this item yet
You might be confusing Mom with Mother (which is understandable). Mother is a new final boss added in Repentance
To clarify: Mother, AKA The Witness is the green mass of sinew found at the end of the corpse, one of the new paths in Repentance. The one with the knife miniquest.

Interesting item.... But the look and description of it is terrifying...
