Interactions[ | ]

  • Character Azazel iconAzazel: Not recommended. Range penalty is the only effect.
  • Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus: Not recommended. Bombs are slow to fire and will pass through enemies, making it far more difficult to hit them with explosions.

  • Collectible Mom's Knife iconMom's Knife: Overrides Dead Onion.
  • Collectible Monstro's Lung iconMonstro's Lung: Fires a barrage of large tears that disappear at close range. Spectral and piercing effects make it very effective at close range.
  • Collectible My Reflection iconMy Reflection: Not recommended. Tears will travel a very short distance before they return to Isaac and eventually disappear.
  • Collectible Proptosis iconProptosis: Not recommended. While tears do massive damage at short range, it makes it a lot easier to be damaged by explosive enemies or enemies that do contact damage.
  • Collectible Rubber Cement iconRubber Cement: Edges of tears retain both piercing and spectral effects; however, the center of the tear will lose them and bounce.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Sulfuric Acid iconSulfuric Acid: Not recommended. Acid Tears no longer impact objects and can no longer open Secret Rooms.
