Lachryphagy is a passive item added in Booster Pack #4.
Effects
- Isaac's tears decelerate as they travel. Upon stopping or hitting an obstacle, they burst into 8 tears in all directions.
- Hitting an enemy will not cause them to burst.
- Tears can be fired into other tears to feed them, increasing their damage and the damage of the burst tears.
- If one tear is fed 5 other tears, it will immediately burst.
- The tears will have their damage added together, with the first consumed tear giving additional damage.
- Tears in the burst will deal half the damage the main tear would have.
Interactions
Brimstone: Lachryphagy does not affect regular Brimstone beams, but tears from other sources such as 
Isaac's Tears will burst into 8 Brimstone beams.- Dr. Fetus: Overrides Lachryphagy.
- Epic Fetus: Overrides Lachryphagy.
- Haemolacria: Shots will never hit the ground, preventing Haemolacria's splash effect from activating.
- Ipecac: Tears will burst into more explosive tears.
- The Ludovico Technique: Overrides Lachryphagy.
- Monstro's Lung: The tears clump together soon after firing. This leads them to occasionally disappearing entirely, immediately hitting an enemy for massive damage or bursting with almost as high damage.
- Pop!: Tears behave erratically, with freshly fired tears usually behaving like Lachryphagy and burst tears like Pop!.
- Proptosis: The tears most of the time fade out quicker than they can burst.
- Tech X: Overrides Lachryphagy.
- Technology: Overrides Lachryphagy.
- Tiny Planet: Both the Lachryphagy tears and their resulting burst tears follow the orbiting path of Tiny Planet.
- Trisagion: Tears will split but cannot be grown by feeding tears.
Synergies
- 20/20 / The Inner Eye / Mutant Spider: Tears tend to clump together soon after firing for high damage shots. It may take more than 5 tears in total to cause a burst.
- Dead Eye: The damage bonus from Dead Eye is very easy to keep as shots that would normally fly into a wall will usually float to a halt instead.
- Rubber Cement: Tears will damage and bounce off enemies normally and burst afterwards.
- Technology Zero: Regular tears and split tears are all joined by lasers.
In-game Footage
Trivia
- Lachryphagy is based on this Steam Workshop item by Echo.
- There can be a poster in an Arcade that looks very similar to Lachryphagy's pickup sprite. The change of the sprite of the item may be based on that.
