Consolation Prize is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.
Effects[]
- Gives Isaac one of the following stat boosts, depending on what attribute Isaac has the least of:
- Also drops either 3
Coins, 1
Bomb, or 1
Key on the ground, depending on what Isaac has the least of.
Notes[]
- Each key or bomb is equivalent to 3 coins. Thus, having 3 coins, 1 bomb and 1 key is counted as having the same amount of each.
- Pickups spawned can be variants of their type.
- The tears up can break the soft tears cap of 5, due to the fact that it is a fire rate modifier.
- If there is a tie between two or more stats/pickups for which is lowest, one of them is selected at random.
- Cards and trinkets that grant temporary stat increases will affect the stat given by Consolation Prize (e.g. using
I - The Magician or carrying
Tape Worm will likely prevent the item from granting a range up,
VII - The Chariot or
Goat Hoof - speed, and so on.)
- As
Bethany, it can also spawn a
Soul Heart if that is her lowest consumable; one soul heart is equivalent to 2 coins.
- The stat up is permanent and won't go away even if the item is removed, similar to
Experimental Treatment.
- Because of that,
Tainted Isaac can pick it up and freely drop it without losing anything.
