(in Afterbirth † and Repentance)

Eye of Greed is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.

Effects[ | ]

  • Adds a golden tear every 20 tears fired, which causes enemies to turn gold and petrifies them for a few seconds (similar to Collectible Midas' Touch iconMidas' Touch) at the cost of one PennyPenny. Golden tears can still be fired if Isaac has no money.
    • Unlike other tear effects, golden tears are fired alongside regular tears rather than replacing a regular tear.
    • With multi-shot abilities, whichever tear is the 20th since previous will produce the additional golden tear.
    • (except in Repentance) The golden tear does 2x normal damage.
    • (in Repentance) If Isaac has no money, the golden tear does normal tear damage. If Isaac does have money, the golden tear deals 1.5x normal damage +10.
    • (except in Repentance) Enemies killed while golden will drop 1-4 coins.
    • (in Repentance) Enemies killed while golden will drop 1-3 coins.
    • (in Repentance) If Isaac has money, golden tears that hit enemies will drop a PennyPenny, effectively returning the cost.

Notes[ | ]

  • Tears fired from items that cause multiple tears to be fired at once, e.g. Collectible 20 20 icon20/20, Collectible Monstro's Lung iconMonstro's Lung, etc., are counted.
    • The gold tear is not duplicated by said items.
  • Character The Forgotten iconThe Forgotten has separate tear counters for The Forgotten and Soul.
  • (in Repentance) Using this item is an easy way of unlocking Collectible Golden Razor iconGolden Razor after obtaining 99 coins, since it drains them by just shooting and with enough patience it will reduce their count to 0.
  • (in Repentance)Hitting Armored Boss Tuff Twins ingameTuff Twins or Boss The Shell ingameThe Shell will turn them into gold, and all armored segments will drop 1-3 coins.

Synergies[ | ]

  • Equality!Equality!: The coin lost when firing the tear can be quite useful for equalizing the pickup counter.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Humbleing Bundle iconHumbleing Bundle: Affects coins dropped from hitting enemies, allowing Isaac to potentially farm money.
  • Collectible Lachryphagy iconLachryphagy: Golden tears can also be fed and will burst into split tears. Burst tears are not golden.
