Head of Krampus is an unlockable activated item.
Effects[ | ]
- Fires a powerful Brimstone beam in the four cardinal directions, much like The Fallen and Krampus shoot.
- Has a 50% chance to rotate all beams around the player 90 degrees, similar to Krampus' second Brimstone attack.
Notes[ | ]
- Head of Krampus is one of two items that can drop by defeating Krampus.
- Each beam deals 22 damage per tick, and they tick a total of 20 times, dealing a total of 440 damage per use.
- Each beam deals 10 damage over 20 ticks, dealing a total of 200 damage per use.
- Damaging enemies with the effect of this item as Guppy will spawn multiple Blue Flies.
- By standing really close to large enemies such as bosses, it's possible to hit them with multiple beams at once, dealing significantly more damage than a single beam.
Synergies[ | ]
- Book of Virtues: Spawns red wisps in the middle ring. The wisps fire small [[{{{page}}}|Brimstone]] lasers in the cardinal directions when destroyed. The lasers deal the wisps' tear damage per tick, and can hit up to 20 times. [[{{{page}}}|BFFS!]] will not increase this damage, despite it scaling with the wisps' tear damage.
- Car Battery: Doubles the damage the brimstone beams deal (for a total of 880 damage/ 400 damage per use). Doesn't double the brimstone beams' duration.
