(in Afterbirth † and Repentance)

Ouroboros Worm is a trinket added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.

Effects[ | ]

  • Tears travel in a large spiral pattern.
  • Grants spectral tears.
  • (except in Repentance) +4.0 range, +2.0 tear falling speed.
  • (in Repentance) +1.5 range, +0.4 tears.
  • A luck-based chance for a homing shot, reaching 100% at 9 luck.
    • The homing shots are not different in appearance.
    • The homing does not override the spiral pattern, meaning tears stay unreliable.

Synergies[ | ]

  • (in Repentance)Golden Trinket Golden Trinket / Collectible Mom's Box iconMom's Box: The spiral pattern is larger, tears travel faster and the stats increases are doubled.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Aquarius iconAquarius: Creep has a chance to be homing.
  • Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus: Since the bombs don't follow the spiral pattern, only the extra range, spectral bombs, and chance for a homing bomb apply.
  • Collectible Tractor Beam iconTractor Beam: The tears follow a straight path, ignoring the spiral pattern; the tears also stall at a specific point, giving a greater chance to land tears.
