Dark Matter is a passive item.

Effects

• +1 damage.
• Adds a chance to shoot fear tears, causing enemies to run away from Isaac.

Notes

• Fear tear effect depends on the luck stat, and goes up to 100% at 20 luck.
  • This makes Dark Matter significantly better at inflicting fear than Abaddon or Mom's Perfume.

Synergies

• Brimstone: Laser applies fear to enemies more consistently due to its tick rate.
• Compound Fracture/ Cricket's Body/ The Parasite: Chance for tears and split tears to cause fear. If the main tear causes fear, the split tears cause fear too.

Interactions

• Haemolacria: Tear appearance stays the same; only the main tear can cause fear.
• Lachryphagy: If a fear tear is fed, all burst tears cause fear. If a normal tear is fed, the burst tears cannot cause fear.
• The Ludovico Technique: Tear occasionally changes appearance to Dark Matter tears and causes fear.

Trivia

• This item is used in Darkness Falls (challenge #4).
• Dark Matter is a hypothetical form of matter that is thought to account for over 80% of all the matter in the universe. In media, dark matter is often portrayed as an evil element or demonic power, which explains why this item is found in Devil Rooms.
