When Isaac is fighting ??? he is actually fighting his possible future self, who committed suicide by suffocating himself in the chest, hence his blue skin due to the lack of oxygen. And when he defeats him Isaac decides not to kill himself. And instead look at pictures of he family, remembering how life was, realizing life is worth living.

[@helfire14]

After killing his mother, Isaac had the choice of descending to hell, and destroying the darkness, the very taint that caused his own mother to turn against him, or to ascend to heaven, and attempt to bring salvation to the light still remaining in his soul. Isaac decided he would try and save the redeeming part of him. Even if he destroyed the darkness within him, how would he know that he would not still be bound for inferno? He must make sure that the purity within him gets sent on it's way to heaven, abandoning this sinking ship of a body. Encountering many emissaries of his darker self along the way, he destroyed them all, and tried to keep his fragile psyche together, just long enough to save his soul. And at long last Isaac found the part of him that deserved salvation in the depths of the most hallowed part of his soul. But something was...Off. As soon as it saw him, it began to cry. Curled itself into a ball, and wept. It was afraid of him. Why would it fear him? He had no reason to fear himself. ...Or did he? He gazed at his own reflection in the pool of tears produced by his holier self. Issac, from the day he entered the basement to escape his mother's wrath, gazed upon his appearance a second time, and saw...A monster. The many items he had collected to become powerful enough to defeat his enemies had distorted him, shaping him into a broken, freakish version of his former self. His once innocent, childlike face was now ashen black, with red, glowing eyes and gnarled, demonic horns were bursting forth from his scalp. A coathanger had been impaled through his face, a beating heart was on the outside of his chest cavity, thumping fast. The rest of his torso had no form, just a swirling spiral of mist descending downward, incorporeal and ghostlike. He was, in every sense of the word, irreparably corrupt. God was right. Eyes welling with tears of disbelief and horror, he then turned his gaze to the sniveling wreck before him. He was Isaac, yes, but before he entered this forsaken place, and indulged in power too much for his physical being to stand without becoming this abomination that was now his body, and the one that he would forever live in for the rest of his days. Why...Why should he send his purer self away? What was he thinking?! If it left him, he'd be no better than the beasts he had slain to get here! Look at it. The pathetic, sobbing form of his former self still lay before him, eyes watching him intently, in anticipation of his next move. No...This is how Isaac had gazed upon the first monster he had seen on his journey. Fearful, and unwilling to fight it, killing it by accident with his tears. Issac suddenly jumped back! He was burning! The pool of tears had grown since, and had pooled underneath him, scorching his body! It hurt...Why? Why did his own tears hurt him? As if he had to ask. He was the monster here. His tears, the same tears that had slain foes past and present were now a threat to his own being. "Time to stop crying then". He rose up, and his purer half could only watch in sheer terror. Isaac's eyes were no longer filled with sorrowful self pity, but with rage. Rage and envy that filled his being, dulling every sense and clouding all thought. Intense heat flooded him, pouring through his skin, through his flesh and his bones, and dripped into his throat, where it escaped as a roar. A loud, powerful roar that shook the room once sacred, once sanctuary to his inner self, but now was the battleground for his future: Salvation, or damnation. He charged his brimstone, and shot first.

Geometry Dash LOL1982 Oh how I know this feeling... I finally managed to actually beat the dark world....if you want to stick to your sanity and physical health of your thumbs then don't try it xD

[@JaneSable]

What I personally see Isaac battling ??? as is the final defeat of his deepest conflicts after a painful past (An abusive mother (The true degree of abuse is unfortunately unknown.), absent father and sister (As shown in the ending,which also claims that his sister also had a problem, POSSIBLY leading to a sad split at an unknown time period in Isaac's life where they both took half, including kids), and a dead pet who was his last savoir (Given that Guppy is a huge benefit to Isaac and that he actually BECOMES Guppy, showing that Guppy kept Isaac strong and sane before it died.)), grappling with the worst one of them all: contemplating suicide. In having to face the true reality of the memories in the Chest (as seen in the ending and reinforced by having to use the Polaroid to access it in the first place), one final fight leads Isaac to snap out of it and send the possible reality of ??? packing up as Isaac throws his past into the Chest and uses Dad's Key to lock it up, but still clutching onto the key itself, symbolizing his past no longer controls him and that he can now escape from Mom's abuse with Dad's Key.

[@Asparagun]

I wonder, are It Lives, Isaac and ??? Isaac's past, present in future, because It Lives is confirmed to be Isaac as a fetus in the womb, and is referred to as "your future past" when unlocked, Isaac is identical to Isaac, so could represent his present, and ??? is Isaac's future after he locked himself in the chest. The reason he is killing himself in past, present and future is that he wants to completely atone for his sins. Just a thought...

[@kreuzfahrer8242]

No. Isaac is fighting his own insecurity. He suffocated in the chest, thus blue baby is there. At the final end of the game, he defeats his insecurity, thus he wins and dies.

[@kreuzfahrer8242]

***** Well actually the name of the character is "???" but people kind of named the char blue baby for some reason. So I guess it's a fan name, but it might be ported over off of newground, BlueBaby being his username.

[@Asparagun]

He's referred to as ??? (the blue baby) in Isaac's last will.

in a way, this is the death of isaac, but his spiritual rebirth. He fought for survival, but eventualy encountered an unbeatable enemy (the player). Just as he got hurt and hurt, a voice spoke to him, god was taking him to heaven, and the player was making sure he left.

[@solomitchel2349]

no, what happened is that Isaac is Isaac's deepest regrets and blue baby is death. He was going to suffocate himself in his toy chest(aka the chest) but when he beats ??? he decides to live instead. The final scene is him crying outside the chest. He decided not to kill himself which is in it's own right scary.

[@rual40]

A fitting theme for the true true true true true ending of an amazing game.

[@M4rioM788]

Theory1: Isaac has multiple personality disorder and is insane, cosplaying as other characters, and 'shooting tears to kill shit' Theory2: ??? Is zombified isaac, same boss phases, same bodily shape and whenever isaac goes into a chest he suffocates, skin turns blue and dies, reincarnates as ??? And lives in the chest, waiting for the next Isaac to come and suffocate, beating dead Isaac or not. And Isaac has a nightmare about dying inside a chest. Think 'bout it

[@mgimansss]

you're actually mostly right, all of the characters (except ???) are just Isaac wearing wigs and costumes. he got Maggie's wig as a gift, he found Cain's eye-patch and Judas's fez and such. in the ending were you fight Isaac he commits suicide and then becomes ???

Wow your life must be boring

[@Pocketyuf]

Requesting a 10 hour version of this.

[@WereDictionary]

I always found that part in particular sounds a fair lot like the early stages and the theme in general is somewhat like a mashup of other themes. It is like a reminder of which challenges you faced up to this point and reminds you that you still need to get better because your opponent has faced them as well.

[@KoroftheSon]

Technically ???/Blue Baby is the final boss, because you get the final ending for defeating him (which says "The End" when it's over). But, yes, you can choose who you want to fight at the end of a run, depending on whether you go the Sheol or the Cathedral, and whether or not you're carrying The Polaroid trinket.

Isn’t he final ending the one that you get when you beat delirium? Then again your comment was made before afterbirth+
