Anarchist Cookbook is an activated item.

Effect

• Spawns six Troll Bombs, usually near the center of the room.
• This item belongs to the Bookworm set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into Bookworm.

Notes

• This item can drop from Pride.
• Although visually unchanged, all passive Bomb effect items affect the spawned Troll Bombs unless otherwise noted.
• The Troll Bombs created by Anarchist Cookbook spawn in one at a time; if Isaac leaves the room soon after using it, not all 6 Troll Bombs will spawn.
• Using this item without any blast protection is not always recommended as it is very easy to be caught in the blast.

Synergies

• Book of Virtues: Spawns wisps in the middle ring, looking like bombs. The wisps spawn Troll Bombs when destroyed. These troll bombs will use Isaac's bomb synergies.
• Blasting Cap: Spawned Troll Bombs can drop extra bomb pickups.
• Glitter Bombs: Each troll bomb has a chance to spawn a pickup or a trinket including batteries for repeated use.
• Remote Detonator: The Troll Bombs generated will not explode until Remote Detonator is activated, unlike regular Troll Bombs.
• Safety Scissors: Spawned troll bombs become bomb pickups.
• Pyromaniac: Spawned bombs can be used for mass healing.

Interactions

• Bomber Boy: Not recommended. The cross pattern explosion makes it very hard to avoid taking damage.
• Mr. Mega: No effect.
• Scatter Bombs: Not recommended. Each Troll Bomb will spawn several smaller bombs upon exploding, making it very hard to avoid taking damage.
  • No visual change can be seen with the Troll Bombs, but the smaller bombs have the sprite of the smaller normal bombs.
