(page 2, column 15, row 5) (page 3, column 5, row 2)

Placenta is a passive item.

Effects

• Grants one full Heart Container when picked up.
• Isaac has a chance to regenerate half of a red heart every one minute of gameplay.

Notes

• The regeneration can happen multiple times in the same room, so there is no need to move between rooms to continue regeneration.
• It is possible to regenerate all missing hearts by simply standing in the same room for a while. Players may want to take a short break with the game not paused to regenerate all of their health.
• Regeneration does not occur when standing in a Crawl Space.
• Regeneration occurs with Keeper; it will restore a full health coin for him.
• Regeneration occurs with The Forgotten, restoring a third of a bone heart.
• Regeneration will not occur for ???, as he only has soul hearts.

Synergies

• Gnawed Leaf: Allows Isaac to safely regenerate in any room.

Interactions

• Maggy's Bow: No effect on regen.

Trivia

• A Placenta is an organ that forms from the mother's uterus during pregnancy that supports the unborn child during development until it is expelled during childbirth. In some cultures, it is a common practice for the mother and/or child to eat the expelled placenta.
  • This, like many other things Isaac does, is medically inadvisable.

Bugs

Bug! Going into a Ventricle Razor portal at the same time the effect of Placenta is triggered will cause the effect to trigger in rapid succession, effectively healing Isaac to full health.
