Does losing soul heart count as actual damage? [duplicate] - Woman in Green and White Floral Dress Holding Red Heart Shaped Paper Clip

I heard that there's an achievement when you make a complete run with no damage taken.

So my question is if soul heart's damage is actual damage? Does losing soul heart prevent me from getting this achievement?



Best Answer

From the fandom guide:

What counts as "taking damage?"

  • Getting hit by an enemy, enemy projectile, bomb

  • Purchasing an item from the Devil Room.

  • Spike door in the Curse Room.

What doesn't count as "taking damage?"

  • Damage that is absorbed by shields, e.g. Holy Mantle or Infamy.

  • Using the Blood Donation Machine or IV bag.

  • Damage taken from the Devil Beggar.

  • The "Bad Trip" or the "Health Down" pill effects.

  • The Razor Blade and Blood Rights items.

  • Using a "Health up!" pill.

As you can see, if you get damaged even if you have soul hearts, the achievment will not be accomplished.
