Flat File is a trinket added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.
Effects[]
- Makes all spikes retract, preventing them from dealing damage.
- Most spikes leave behind holes or a visual cue showing where they would normally be.
- The spikes around
Curse Room doors are removed, allowing them to be entered and exited without taking damage. - Retracts damaging spikes from Spiked Rocks and Spiked Chests/ Mimic Chests.
- Removes the spikes from Pokies, Slides, and Wall Huggers.
- Pokies, Slides, and Wall Huggers don't immediately stop moving once they are despiked, and are still able to push Isaac without dealing damage.
- Has no effect on Grudges, neither retracting their spikes nor despawning them.
- Causes Spikeballs to despawn.
- Doesn't despawn or retract the spikes on Ball and Chains.
- Doesn't cause the moveable spike balls in Singe's boss room to despawn or despike.
- Doesn't despawn or retract the spikes on
Notes[]
- If Flat File is dropped in a room with spikes, the spikes will not extend again unless the room is left and re-entered.
- Spiked Rocks will not re-extend their spikes.
- Mimic Chests won't change their contents when Isaac is up close to them (visible with Guppy's Eye) if opened under the effect of Flat File.
- Flat File also retracts the spikes in the center of Sacrifice Rooms, making them unusable while the trinket is held. The spikes reappear after dropping the trinket and re-entering the room.
- If Flat File is gulped, Isaac cannot use Sacrifice rooms for the rest of the run.
- Flat File does not prevent The Pile or Mama Gurdy from using their spike attacks.
- Also removes spikes from doors in the Cursed! challenge, making it significantly easier.
Interactions[]
- A Pound of Flesh: Doesn't retract spikes placed around consumables in shops.
- Sanguine Bond: Retracts the spikes, making the item useless.
