Hidden Item Effects You Didn't Know About #5 - The Binding of Isaac Repentance

[@ChillstoneBlakeBlast]

Never though of using "We need to go Deeper" That way Ever in all my 500+ hours of Isaac. Very interesting find...

[@juanrodriguez9971]

Maybe because after like 10 hours you realize how useless it is to go to the next floor without killing the boss, even without ever encountering the item

[@ChillstoneBlakeBlast]

@Juan Rodriguez Yeah, I know why "we need to go deeper" is one of the items that sees least play in the game. pretty useful for Boss Rush/Hush encounter though. Also Skipping your boss as T.lost is not too bad, as The Boss Item pool has a ton of range ups. Yes, you can miss on damage ups, but it's a small price for survival (also The best way to beat T.lost is to pray you get very good synergies, which often happens near the end of the run).

4:16 The Esau Jr. jar break can be easily triggered with the Butter! trinket. Each time you use it to drop the item, it counts as a new copy, so if you drop and then use enough of them, it'll spawn the familiar. Also, a few more things about the familiar: - It cannot be duplicated by Box of Friends or The Twins - It persists into the Knife Piece 2 area - If sacrificed with Sacrificial Altar, it gives you an item like normal, but then immediately respawns Oh, and some other things: - Astral Projection has the same interaction with The Lost/Tainted Lost as Berserk!, where picking up a soul heart before the effect ends lets you survive. In both cases, only soul hearts work, so black hearts won't save you. - Normally, you can't have both the regular and Birthright versions of Book of Belial. However, if you obtain Birthright and Book of Belial as a different character and then change into Judas (through either Judas' Shadow of Clicker), it'll let you keep the regular book while also giving you the Birthright version, allowing you to have both. You can also do it by obtaining Birthright as Judas, then rerolling your active with 'M until it gives you the regular book. (Unfortunately, there's no special effect for having both, it works the same as having just one.)

Brittle bones can't be rerolled via Tainted Eden "Ever changing" effect or disappear in "Cantripped!" challenge if you got a tears up from it. Updated: in "Cantripped!" item disappears but tears up still remains. It also works with Red stew. I'm not sure how I kept Brittle bones in "Cantripped!" and it possibly can be a bug.

@Red380 It also works with Candy heart, Soul locket and Potato peeler. I think it happens because stats (random and other) from these items add directly to characteristics of the character.

With C Section + Dr Fetus, how large the fetus projectile is actually influences the type of bomb it spawns from the synergy. (This is most easily visible with Lump of Coal.)

If Everything Jar specifically spawns a Blurb enemy from the 12-charge effect on a floor that is NOT Downpour or Dross, it has a unique graphic tinted the standard pink, rather than Downpour's blue.
