There’s nothing more enjoyable than happening upon a great BOI seed that gives you OP tears from the outset and allows you to obliterate your foes. Luckily, some people take note of their seeds so that others can enjoy them, too.
Seeds change depending on the console and the version you’re playing, but we’ve scoured the net and have tried to find the best Repentance and Afterbirth+ seeds. So, here are the best Binding of Isaac seeds available right now, with what to expect in each run. The items found in some of these seeds may change slightly depending on which items you have unlocked. Use the contents menu to skip to the relevant section for you.

N62G K7JW
Mode: Normal
Items: Ankh, Bible, Tech X, Mutant Spider, Guppy’s Collar, Sausage, Faded Polaroid, Flat File.
Notes: Run works well with Azazel. Find the secret rooms to make the most of the run (the Bible is in a secret room on Depths II).
D4E4 YK0G
Mode: Normal
Items: Rocket in a Jar, Goat Head, Dead Cat, Soy Milk, Blood Clot.
Notes: Very fun Isaac seed that leads to some interesting synergies, particularly if playing as Azazel. It’s the run that keeps on giving and continues to get stronger the farther you get.
QN1W 1DDF
Mode: Normal
Items: Inner Eye, Almond Milk, Brimstone, Pentagram, Brain Worm.
Notes: Very OP run that will leave you with triple Brimstone and homing shots to boot.
8Z1E 0TAK
Mode: Normal
Items: Mutant Spider, Proptosis, Brimstone.
Notes: Brimstone is on the 4th floor and the Brimstone is on the 4th floor’s Devil Room.
NLZE 1YE8
Mode: Normal
Items: Inner Eye, Mutant Spider, Squeezy
Notes: This is a good seed if you like multiple tears in one shot. It gets good fast and you can tailor it how you like after getting these strong items early on.

H9FG 81HH
Mode: Normal
Items: Inner Eye, Mutant Spider, 20/20, Tammy’s Head, Multidimensional Baby
Notes: Fun with any character but Tammy’s Head makes Azazel the character of choice in this one.
HCER LV8R
Mode: Normal
Items: Brimstone, Mutant Spider, Magic Mushroom, Lost Contact
Notes: Very powerful seed with great projectile protection from shielded tears. Brimstone is in the second floor devil room.
0E81 79LB
Mode: Hard
Items: Ludovico Technique, Small Rock, Cricket’s Head, Spider Bite
Notes: A great seed for Azazel as you get Ludo on the first floor. Small Rock is found by bombing the marked rock on the first floor, and Cricket’s Head is in a stone chest on the second floor.
Nintendo Switch Afterbirth+ Seeds
Afterbirth Plus Nintendo Switch Seeds
Here are a few of the best Binding of Isaac Seeds for Switch:
MZ4L 3QMG
Mode: Normal
Items: Mutant Spider, Proptosis, Brimstone, 20/20, The Mulligan, Jacob’s Ladder, Spirit of the Night
Notes: One of the most OP seeds I’ve tried. Pyromaniac also turns up at some point which helps the low number of health upgrades.
0JH0 CR3E
Mode: Normal
Items: Godhead, Book of Sins, Capricorn, Judas’s Shadow, Athame, Guppy’s Collar, Growth Hormones.
Notes: Best played as Eden in order to get Godhead as one of the starting items. Would still be a strong seed with other characters, though.
PS4 Afterbirth+ Seeds
Afterbirth Plus PS4 Seeds
Here are some fun BOI Afterbirth+ seeds for the PS4.
H3TY STBK
Mode: Normal
Items: Guppy’s Paw, Guppy’s Head, Guppy’s Head, Hive Mind, BFF
Notes: If you like Guppy, you’re in for a treat with this seed. Needs to be played as Isaac in order to get Guppy on the first floor. In the curse room, open the 3 Red Chests, take Guppy’s Paw and then touch Guppy’s Head and replace it again for the D6. Re-roll the head into Guppy’s Collar and let the fun commence!
D6XA WL2H
Mode: Normal
Items: Guppy, Wafer, Inner Eye, Epic Fetus
Notes: Make sure to visit the Dice Room on the first floor!
