Evil Be Gone in DOORS: Your First Crucifix Banishment

Updated 03.10.2026· Author: Mark K

Where to get it

You’ll earn Evil Be Gone as soon as you banish someone with a Crucifix for the first time. It works on any entity the Crucifix can affect. The only question is where to find one and who’s worth using it on.

How to get it

Find a Crucifix: in The Hotel, it can be in containers, on bedroom walls, above doors, and in chests.
Or buy one in a shop: in The Hotel, a Crucifix costs 500 Gold, and it’s always available in the Mines Shop.
Hold the Crucifix when a hostile entity comes after you, and let it get close.
The Crucifix pins it to the floor and pulls it down, and you’ll earn the badge.

How hard is it?

This is a common badge: about 5 out of every 100 players who’ve played DOORS have it. The only challenge is surviving until you find a Crucifix and not wasting it in a panic on something harmless.

Tip

I use my first Crucifix on Ambush or Halt if I’m having trouble with them. That way, I keep both my badge and my run.

Who’s Worth Using a Crucifix On

A Crucifix can save you from Ambush when there aren’t many closets nearby. It’s useful against Halt if you’re still having trouble with that entity. The wiki recommends using a Crucifix only when you’re in serious danger: it’s powerful, but you only get one use.

You usually don’t want to waste one on Dupe or Eyes: they’re easy to avoid anyway.

Who the Crucifix Won’t Work On

The Crucifix doesn’t work on peaceful or harmless entities like Jack, Glitch, Jeff, Bob, and others. Trying to use it on one won’t earn you the badge.

Bosses are different. The Crucifix only stuns Seek, Figure, and Queen Grumble; it doesn’t banish them. This badge requires a real banishment, so I wouldn’t count on getting it from a boss.

How to Find a Crucifix Faster

Crucifixes only appear above doors and on walls in certain rooms, most often in bedrooms. Check those first.

The More Stuff Modifier increases your chance of finding a Crucifix outside a shop and doesn’t reduce your progress.

Frequently asked questions

What does the badge say?

"I banish thee!".

Will the banished entity come back?

It might. Banishment removes all damage from it and disables it until its next appearance, but it can show up again later in the same run. That’s messed up my plans for a peaceful rest of the floor more than once.

What if two players use a Crucifix on the same entity?

No worries: only one Crucifix will be used.

Are there other Crucifix achievements?

Yes, Evil Be Gone unlocks a whole category of Crucifix badges. I collect them one entity at a time, one run at a time.
