The Binding of Isaac: Hardmode
A huge mod that makes the game more difficult
Created 8 years ago


4.3


This is a huge mod and i worked weeks on it
The mod makes the game really difficult but gives you many items and other rewards to balance thing out
This is what i have done:

- All enemies have more than 2 times their health and get 10% more health each floor
- Most contact damage does a whole heart damage
- 86 bosses are made bloody, angry and cool
- 120 enemies (not bosses) are made bloody, angry and cool
- 30 new normal treasure rooms and 20 new greed treasure rooms
- Most treasure rooms now have 2-3 items (usually you need keys or bombs to get all of them)
- Many rooms are made more rewarding
- In the womb 1 out of 10 rooms is a room with an item in it
- In the first 3 chapters 1 out of 40 rooms is a room with an item in it
- 20 kinds of rooms are made bloody and cool
- Also al the rocks are made bloody and cool
- There are 4 new items
- Brimstone lazer is now blue
- The menu is made bloody and cool
- 5 new challenges
- Your hearts are transparent and changed place
- All characters (except Eden and the Keeper) are buffed, This is what they got extra:
Isaac: 3 coins, 1 key and Chaos item
Magdalene: Stigmata
Cain: PHD and Mom's Pearls
Judas: Cricket's Head
Blue Baby: Dark Bum
Eve: IV Bag
Samson: Cube of Meat
Azazel: Brimstone
Lazarus: Infestation and Guppy's head
The Lost: Lost Contact
Lilith: Rainbow Baby

Don't like the hearts? Go to gfx -> ui and delete ui_hearts.anm2 and ui_hearts.png

Works with Mac

If you want one or more custom options, put the content of those folders over the binding of isaac: Hardmode

Insane mode



- Every enemy/boss has 3 times health
- Every enemy does 2 whole hearts damage
- Less items in itemrooms
- The shop sells one item less
- 4 breaking items are removed from the game

Put the insane mode content over the hard mode content to activate it



Extract the file and put the content of the binding of isaac Hardmode in the resources folder
You can find it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\resources"
If not, go to steam and right click on The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and click Properties, go to Local Files and click Browse Local Files...



1. Did you look at the "How to Download" title
2. Do you have Rebirth? this mod is only for Afterbirth
3. Maybe another mod causes it

If it is still not working i don't know what the cause is



If you find a bug or have any ideas to make this mod even greater, put it in the comments

Thanks to Maxwelltheswell for the challenges

Очень крутой мод!!!!
I will made a video of this mod, seems good to me
https://www.youtube.com/user/byIKAEs97
Thank you for making a video for spanish people
I will put the link for your video in the discription when i get home
I can't find your youtube video, because of that i didn't add a link to a non-existing(i think) video
Now you have uploaded the video, so your video is in the discription, Thank you
Wait, i don't see it in your YouTube channel, do you still need to upload it?
I did what it says and it didn't mod isaac plz help


Are you sure you have put the contents of "the binding of isaac hardmode" folder in the resources folder?
Binding of Isaac: Strugle to get out of the first floor
pretty good, hopfuly its a good one.
Almost every Binding of Isaac player has Afterbirth

It's a lot of work to make a Rebirth version too
speaking of wich afetrbirth + HYPE!!!
nice mod, but you forgot to retexture the wretched boss
The wretched looks already angry so i didn't change him
Please tell me what you used while creating this mod? (All Tools)
- Rick's Unpacker to unpack all .a files in the binding of isaac: Rebirth folder
- Basement Renovator for editing .stb files (Editing the rooms)
- Game maker: Studio for painting, this is a really weird program to do this so i recommend other programs (such as GIMP), i'm used to Game maker: Studio
- Notepad++ to edit .xml and .anm2 files, you can use the normal Notepad too
Thank you very much for the information!
this can be downloaded for a copy pirate of the game?
Sorry, the moderators of this site don't like people who pirate

I won't make a link for pirates
Pirates are bad people, or homeless people
I had your mod in a screenshot of a mod I recently created, so I put the link in the description for ya! ;)
It isn't the background and such, so i give you permission for that image
Hey man Squattop here (from Hutts), a fan recently made a suggestion: Could you add Ultra Greed to the shops by chance in the Insane Mode for Hutts? Thanks in advance for making his life harder ;)
I think i could make that, thanks for the suggestion
Because of the 10% boost every floor, Ultra Greed would be weaker than as greed mode endboss
The 4.0 version now has 5% chance Ultra Greed is in the shop
Hey can you go check out my new N̵҉̦̼I̶̪͍̞̼͘G̴̜͇̗̹̙͈H͇͈̫̪͕͍͜T͖̳͚͎̣̖̙͈͝M̛̰A͟͏̹̭̟̞͠ͅͅR͕E̴̥̦ ̖͢M̥̲̮̮͔͕̀͞Ó̩̲̤͖̰̩̘̕͠D̡̨͙̗͙͍͍͎E̦̗͉̥̩͚̪̰̠ on reddit here is the link see if you like it https://www.reddit.com/r/bindingofisaac/comments/4j0oqh/binding_of_isaac_nightmare_mode/
Cool idea, but you will need to wait for Afterbirth+
In case it ever does come out i really need some help
1. I have no computer
2. I can't create a soundtrack for it
3. I need artist for the idea of a zombie womb
4. If you (maybe or maybe not, spmebody else) are going to create it please don't change certain things like the double tag team trouble or ghost fire champion version (check link for more info)
5. Need more ideas for ALOT of bosses
6. Please add or say that i was included since i created the idea i just need game creators to bring it to life
7. You can reskin bosses I really don't care what color (rainbow optional)
8. Check link if you are curious about what is in it
9. I stupidly said the dread will be in it ( if someone else isgoing to create it [or you maybe] can you please add the dread i just looks so cool)
10. This version is for rebirth i will wait for Afterbirth+
11. That is all
I would love to help you with this mod
1. Do you mean you have mac or linux?
2. I haven't add any sfx or music to my mods but i can try
3. I can help you with that
4. I don't know what the difference is between double tag team and double trouble
7. I won't make bosses with rainbow color, i hate that color
8. I have, but many things need Afterbirth+
9. I can try
10. So you don't have the Afterbirth DLC, do you want this mod in Rebirth?
11. ok
1. NO Computer, big mac, pc
absolutely nothing
2. Double tag team trouble allows 2 or 3 sets of bosses that you have to fight like 2 stevens, 2 blighted ovums, and 2 gemini that you have to fight at the same time so if you want the entire list check the link for ALL of them
3. Try to put some of this stuff for rebirth i have no clue to when will afterbirth+ will come out but when it does this mod is all yours to create the soundtrack the bosses and the ghost fire champion version and do say that i was involved
4. I don't know if this is possible but can you put the bonus modes in the setting with a button to click on them to turn them on or off with then a creepy sound plays
5. Reason I am doing this i want to give players a creepypasta feeling due to certain features changed like the wondows in the cathedral are shatted and blood is falling off the walls but if you think if you want to create the game if you see some things you can put in rebirth with (maybe I don't know) the bonus modes & say i was involed (please put my name somewhere) thank you
You can ceate the game but check the link for checking if certain setting can be put in rebirth
Oh and please keep the zalgo text in mind thanks
1. So you are typing this on your console or mobile phone?
2. pretty cool and difficult idea
3. I mean must i make it for Rebirth or Afterbirth, Afterbirth is out, Afterbirth+ is not
4. Not yet possible, The only way i can make bonus modes is the same i did with Insane mode for the Hardmode mod
5. So you want it to have a creepypasta feeling , That will be fun to make
I will say that you was involved for creating the idea, I will keep the zalgo text in mind

You will get some ingame images while i'm making this mod
Im typing this on my phone
& if tou want since you are possibly making the mod you can put some of your boss or new mote powerful boss since i did say i need new ideas for bosses so you can rename some bosses or whatever you have in mind but thanks for helping me since i don't know anybody else who would create it so thank you for (if you are) creating the mod
In cause if audio is low i rummaged through the internet and (very lucky for you) found a downloadable file from the previous binding of isaac (not rebirth or afterbirth) so ( maybe or maybe not) you can insert them or keep them for future mods

Here is the link

http://www.sounds-resource.com/pc_computer/bindingofisaac/sound/4368/
Thank you, This will be the first time i'm going to work with sound
You only gave 1 image of dread, while he has other images when he attacks or dies, So i made the other images with your image but that was a lot of work, in the future think about that bosses have more than 1 image
Hey how is Nightmare Mode, good or bad?
Forgot about it

I have made that boss dread and i made a zombie floor, it's like a womb with White and Green
When do ya think you will be finished
Next week or 2 weeks?
I can try to finish it next week
I'm working hard to give it a creepy pasta feeling, i already have done a lot of the soundtrack
In normal rooms the music is scary and when you fight a boss/challenge the music is epic
In the menu it looks like you shine a flashlight on it
I'm also working on more scary bosses and enemies
The zalgo text is done
Awesome . I can't wait for people's reaction to this
Here are some Images: http://imgur.com/a/KVaF4
Okay I am not going to lie but that is just FREAKING AWESOME THANKS DUDE LOOKS COMPLETLY AWESOME
The music makes it really creepy, or when you fight bosses epic
When you are done can you send an ingame image of The Dread
Dread is already done, I hope i can find him in the womb, or i can force him to spawn in the first floor
Try first floor but if it does not work with that, you can put it in the zombie womb
I have added the images of dread to the images: http://imgur.com/a/KVaF4
Hey is The Dread going to be a mini-boss or a regular boss in the boss room
It is a boss in the catacombs and it's a strong enemy in the womb
Can you add the VS image of isaac vs the dread
AAAAAWWWWWWEEEESSSSOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEE
I don't think it will be done this week but next week, I'm playing to much Overwatch
Okay take your time i will wait but hopefully the wait will be worth it
(Gaben 53:78)
It's almost ready, i think i will release it tomorrow
Awesome i am really excited to see it
Horn of the lamb
-you are one with the lamb-
Gives you large homing tears
If player has brimstone gives quad shot
You will have to wait for Afterbirth+ to make that possible
Hiho, made an Video for this Mod.
Cant see any hard in it, i was op af after the first floor.
And The Hush fight isnt fixed in this Version. (10.5.16)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvVVy86WS0A
Thanks for making that video for all the German players
Azazel is the easiest character there is because of brimstone, If you find it still to easy try Insane Mode
The Hush fight will be fixed in the next update, the bug was already known (10.5.16 is not a version of my mod, you where playing version 3.65)
Sorry, meant the Date of recording, not Versionnumber. Version was the last available yesterday.
Hey kind of a long reach here but do you think you could make an impossible mode?
I could make it but it would be impossible
I will probalbly make it
looks nice but i feel like i should get platinum god first
Keep up the good work! Love the updates getting harder and harder
Are you the real Hutts? because if you are a HUGE Thank you for making videos of my mod

I want this to be HARDMODE so i must make it harder
note: I am DarkestSentinel on twitch, Thank you for making awesome streams
I am sure you are the real hutts

- Your account id is 1470, that means your account is made long ago
- You have downloaded a lot of mods (71) for worst isaac mods videos
- You haven't made many comments (3)

So a BIG Thank you for giving advise on twitch and helping this mod get populair
I have a weird problem: when I play as Azazel (frickin' casual), pause the game and go back, Azazel' torso vanishes. Halp, plz.
There is no way this mod can cause it, Costumes are not changed and the player isn't changed in entities2.xml

Do you have other mods on? Maybe they cause it

Are you playing version 3.0 or 3.5? There where some bugs with entities in 3.0 that where fixed in 3.6
Well, I had before some mods, but I've deleted them. The mod's version 3.65, up-to-date. Thanks.
And yeah, the job that you've done is absolutely amazing! It's just crazy. I've completly lost intrest in TBOI:Afterbirth long time ago. No other could help me revive the interest except for yours. Just thanks for giving the Isaac's Rebirth rebirth.
Really fun and big mod that makes the game much harder, I have 1001% meaning that mods like this are the reason I play Binding of Isaac now. Thank you for making this.
Although I'm probably going to break my keyboard after installing this mod, IT. LOOKS. AWESOME!!! Great job, dude.
greed mode was hell but i beat it
