The Cursed Eye is a passive item.

Effects

• Grants charged tears which when fully charged fires a tight burst of four.
  • Releasing all fire keys while not completely charged shoots 0-3 tears in a tight burst dependent on how long Isaac charged.

• Taking damage while charging will teleport Isaac into another room.

Notes

• Getting hit while holding a full charge does not teleport Isaac.
• This item can be counterproductive, especially while fighting bosses, as getting hit while charging a shot will reset the fight.
• The teleporting and charge-up effects do not apply to Lilith. Her Incubus will fire three projectiles with each shot without needing to charge, making this a very easy way of tripling her damage output with no downside.
• The color of Isaac's cursed eye will indicate what state it currently is in:
  • White: Inactive
  • Black: Charging up
  • Flashing black and white: Fully charged

Synergies

• Black Candle: Teleport effect is removed.
• Holy Mantle: Losing Holy Mantle while charging Cursed Eye will not teleport Isaac.
• Incubus: Incubus fires 3 tears for each one that normally would be fired, with no change in delay.
• Marked: Tears can no longer be charged, but the firing rate is greatly increased without affecting the tears stat, even beyond normal maximum fire rate. The teleport effect is removed.
• Technology 2: Laser fires while charging Cursed Eye. Tear delay for the charge is unaffected by Tech 2. Allows Cain to fire normal tears.

Interactions

• Anti-Gravity: Only stat changes from Anti-Gravity applies, as releasing a tear fire button also releases the Anti-Gravity Effect.
• Azazel: No effect.
• Chocolate Milk: Charged tear is followed by up to 3 minimum power ones, depending on Cursed Eye's charge.
• Diplopia: No effect.
• Dr. Fetus: No Cursed Eye effect.
• Epic Fetus: No Cursed Eye effect.
• The Forgotten: The skeleton form's charge attack becomes a rapid barrage of hits; the amount depends on how full the charge is, up to 4.
• The Ludovico Technique: No Cursed Eye effect.
• Mom's Knife: No Cursed Eye effect.
• Monstro's Lung: No Cursed Eye effect.
• Sprinkler: No Cursed Eye effect.
• Tech X: No Cursed Eye effect.
• Technology: No Cursed Eye effect.

Trivia

• This item may be a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" where the narrator talks about murdering an old man because of his "evil eye", which is described to look like The Cursed Eye.
• When Keeper charges up his shots his eye turns into a dollar sign.
