Midas' Touch

Midas' Touch is a passive item.

Effects[edit | edit source]

Upon contact with enemies, deals damage equal to the number of coins Isaac has.
- Damage is dealt up to twice per second per enemy.
Freezes and turns enemies into gold upon contact with Isaac.
- Enemies killed while in this state will drop 1-4 pennies.

With Midas' Touch, some effects that create poop may instead create golden poop (see Synergies for details).
If an enemy doesn't deal contact damage, Midas' Touch can safely be used on it to create extra coins. Black flies, Mulligans, and Hosts are the most common enemies this can be applied to.
- If Isaac has 13 coins or more when using Midas' Touch on Mulligans, they will die and release flies, hurting Isaac.
- With Skatole, Hives and Swarmers will constantly spawn black flies, meaning they can create endless amounts of coins.
- As Mom's foot and Satan's feet don't deal contact damage, Midas' Touch can be used against them to great effect.
When used against Ultra Greed, his armor will be partially impaired to a 25% efficiency.
Spawning Multiplayer Babies while the player has Midas' Touch will give the Midas' Touch effects (freeze on touch + damage) to the baby itself. This can be abused, considering the baby's invincibility frames upon spawning:
- Spawn the baby using the Enter key. It is invincible for a short period.
- During this period, stay in contact with enemies to freeze them and damage them.
This can be used to gather 99 coins very quickly, and in turn, deal massive damage with Midas' Touch damage component.
