Brittle Bones

Brittle Bones is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.
Effects[edit | edit source]
- Grants 6 empty Bone Hearts.
- Removes all Red Heart containers. Does not remove existing Bone Hearts, but does empty them.
- Upon losing a Bone Heart, Isaac fires a ring of 8 bones that split into more bones and permanently gains a +0.5 tears up.
- Each bone does twice Isaac's damage plus a flat 22 damage; split bones do half this amount.

- Keeper will also gain 24 Blue Flies.
