Synergies[ | ]
- Missing Page 2/A Missing Page: Doubles damage of Dry Baby, from 40 to 80.
- If both are held at the same time, triples damage of Dry Baby, from 40 to 120.
- Duct Tape: Picking up Duct Tape while Dry Baby has the same position as Isaac will result in Dry Baby blocking almost all projectiles that would hit him while holding the trinket.
- This can be achieved by standing in a doorway, dropping Duct Tape, leaving the room, then re-entering the room slowly.
Interactions[ | ]
- BFFS!: No effect on damage or blocking radius; only the visual size is changed.
- Isaac's Heart: If Isaac has obtained Dry Baby in the first familiar spot before Isaac's Heart, the baby will block enemy tears before they can hit the heart. Enemies touching the heart can still do damage, and picking up the baby after the heart will cause the heart's hitbox to be checked first against shots.
- Isaac's Heart no longer follows Isaac in a way where Dry Baby can constantly block it from tears.
