Guppy's Paw is an activated item.

Effects

• Upon use, converts one Red Heart Container into three Soul Hearts.
• This item belongs to the Guppy set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into Guppy.

Notes

• Bone Hearts cannot be converted.

Synergies

• The Book of Belial + Birthright as Judas / Dark Judas: Grants a permanent 0.5 damage up for every converted heart.
• Book of Virtues: Spawns 3 wisps in the middle ring for every Red Heart Container consumed, in addition to granting Soul Hearts. These wisps have a large amount of health.
• Broken Remote: The teleport will activate whenever Guppy's Paw is used, even if Isaac has no Red Heart Containers to trade. This can give any characters with no Red Hearts the ability to teleport any number of times for free.
• Converter:
  • Allows Isaac to attain up to 10 Red Heart Containers and 1 Soul Heart.
  • Allows Isaac to attain up to 12 Red Heart Containers or any combination of Red Heart Containers and Soul Hearts.
    • + Potato Peeler + Sharp Plug: Allows Isaac to generate infinite damage upgrades and Cube of Meat.
• Tainted Eden: Soul Hearts granted by Guppy's Paw are not rerolled when Tainted Eden takes damage.
• Dead Cat: In addition to contributing to the transformation, converting the Red Heart Container obtained after revival into three Soul Hearts effectively triples Isaac's HP.

Interactions

• Bethany: Guppy's Paw will remove one Heart Container in exchange for Soul Heart charges. This will kill Bethany if she has no health left afterward.
• Car Battery: No effect.
• Keeper: Guppy's Paw will take away one Coin Heart, but will only grant Blue Flies in return.
• XI - Strength: Converts the temporary Red Heart Container into three Soul Hearts (however, Isaac will still lose one Red Heart Container upon leaving the room if he has any left).
• Tainted Judas / Dark Judas: No effect.
