The Ritual is a Boss added by The Ascent of Isaac Godmode that can be found in Stage Sheol icon.png Sheol. It is the alternative final boss of the floor, having a 50% chance to replace Satan ingame.png Satan.

Behavior

Phase 1

The Ritual moves slowly around the center of the room and will mainly attack through its 5 candles orbitals. Isaac cannot damage The Ritual while it is attacking. It randomly does the following 4 attacks:

  • Places 4 candles at the corner of the room and one in the center, then brightens 2 candles before shooting a line of flames between those.
  • Makes all candles orbit around Isaac. One of the candles will brighten before shooting a fire projectile towards Isaac. It will do that multiple times.
  • Randomly places the candles in the room. The candles will then alternate between moving randomly twice when being blue and dashing towards Isaac when being red.
  • Summons 1 Wikihover Silent.png Silent and 2 Wikihover Mum.png Mums.

Phase 2

After The Ritual has its HP reduced to 75%, one of its eyes will become blue and it performs the same attacks as before, but they are buffed:

  • The flame line attack happens between 3 candles instead of 2.
  • The Isaac orbiting attack is faster.
  • The candles dash towards Isaac further and faster.
  • Summons 3 Wikihover Mum.png Mums instead of 2.

Phase 3

After The Ritual has its HP reduced to 50%, its other eye will become purple and its tail will get a flame. It buffs its attacks again:

  • The flame line attack happens between 4 candles instead of 3. To help avoid the attack, The Ritual will extinguish the unused candle before activating the other ones.
  • The Isaac orbiting attack is faster.
  • The candles dash towards Isaac further and faster.
  • Summons 4 Wikihover Mum.png Mums instead of 3.

Phase 4

After The Ritual has its hp reduced to 25%, a large flame will appear inside the hole in its forehead. It buffs its attacks one last time and gain a new attack:

  • Makes the candles orbit clockwise closer to it and shoots purple flames in front of each candle while regularly shooting 5 large purple flame projectiles itself.
  • The flame line attack happens between all the candles instead of 3.
  • Summons 5 Wikihover Mum.png Mums instead of 4.
