God's Flesh is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.

Effects

• Tears now have a 10% chance to apply a shrinking effect, causing enemies to shrink in size and also run away from Isaac.
  • Shrunk enemies can be crushed and killed by walking over them.
• The shrinking effect lasts 5 seconds.
• This item belongs to the Fun Guy set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into a walking mushroom.

Notes

• The shrinking effect does not affect bosses or mini-bosses.
• Any enemies that are spawned from the death of a shrunken enemy do not carry over the shrunken effect.
• Champions and enemies that explode upon death will damage Isaac if crushed.
• Shrinking the heart of a Mask + Heart will cause its corresponding Mask to shrink as well. The Mask can be crushed and killed separately.
• The chance to fire a shrinking tear does not scale with Luck.

Synergies

• Blood Puppy: If an angry Blood Puppy is shot with a God's Flesh tear, Isaac can instantly change it back to a tamed Blood Puppy by touching it.
• Compound Fracture / Cricket's Body / The Parasite: Split tears will retain shrinking effect if main tear had shrinking effect. With Compound Fracture and The Parasite, tears with a shrinking effect look like normal tears.
• Finger!: Finger can also apply the shrinking effect.
• Lachryphagy: Will occasionally fire tears with shrinking effect. All burst tears have a chance to apply the shrinking effect.
• The Ludovico Technique: Tear flickers blue, capable of shrinking enemies when it does.
• Technology Zero: Electricity connected to tears with shrinking effect has a chance to shrink enemies.
• Piercing: Shrinkening tears have regular appearance, but can pierce through enemies. One tear can shrink multiple enemies.

Interactions

• Haemolacria: Only main tear has a chance to apply a shrinking effect.
• Brimstone/ Azazel: Brimstone shot becomes blue.

Trivia

• The term God's flesh is a nickname for psychedelic mushrooms.
• In Aztec culture, hallucinogenic mushrooms were eaten during religious ceremonies. The Aztec name for these mushrooms translates to "god's flesh".
• It may also be a reference to the psychological horror game God's Flesh by Glompyy
• It may also be a reference to Industrial/Experimental Metal band Godflesh.
• Using God's Flesh on a Rag Man head will shrink it and reveal that there is a very small, nearly invisible body underneath.
• The effects of this item are similar to the Shrinker from Duke Nukem 3D, including the ability to kill shrunken enemies by stepping on them.
• God's Flesh can shrink the skull that The Siren leaves behind on death. It can still be destroyed by walking over it, and will pull from the usual skull drop table.
