Notched Axe

Notched Axe is an activated item.

Effect

 * Isaac holds the Notched Axe above his head as long as he is in that room, and can break any obstacles he touches, as well as being able to break through walls that lead into Secret Rooms.
 * Isaac stops shooting tears and holds the Notched Axe like 's club, and can break obstacles, blow open doors, and hit enemies for 3x damage by swinging it. Hitting rocks or enemies or opening doors with the Notched Axe decreases its charge. Isaac can toggle back and forth between tears and using the Notched Axe by pressing the Active Item button. Once the Notched Axe destroys obstacles and/or damages enemies 64 times, it cannot be used for the rest of the floor.
