	Complete challenge #35Greed's Gullet

Greed's Gullet is an unlockable passive item added in Afterbirth+.

Effects[edit | edit source]

Grants an extra heart container for every 25 coins Isaac has, up to a maximum of 4 hearts at 99 coins.
- Dropping below the number of coins required for a heart container removes the heart container.

The extra heart container can exceed the maximum heart container limit of Keeper, allowing him to obtain more than 2 heart containers.
Depending on the character used, this item only affects red heart containers, soul hearts (???) or health coins (Keeper). It does not affect The Lost.
The health container gain is not retroactive - picking it up at 99 coins will not grant 4 extra heart containers.
- However, picking it up at 99 coins and then dropping below 99 coins will lose a heart container, decreasing the feasibility of picking this item up the more coins you have.
  - The player will die if they lose their last form of health as a result of Greed's Gullet.
  - If Keeper drops to under 2 health coins as a result of Greed's Gullet, or by any other means (devil deal, etc.), he is unable to use an HP Up to increase his health back to 2 and has to regain the lost coins to do so.
- If Greed's Gullet is rerolled away after gaining health, the extra health will be preserved even if the player loses the coins afterward.
  - However, if this happens with Keeper, his health will drop back to 2 health coins upon picking up an item, unless another Greed's Gullet is picked up.
Be careful when buying items from the Shop, as it can remove heart containers.
Enemies that drain Isaac's coins (such as Keepers, Hangers, Greed, or Super Greed) can remove heart containers.

Eye of Greed: Coins will be lost for every 20th tear fired, risking heart container loss if Isaac has more than 24 coins.
