Mom's Box is an activated item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.
Effects[]
- Increases luck by 1 and doubles the effects of certain trinkets while held. When used, drops a random trinket on the ground.
- In Repentance+, almost every trinket got a buffed effect while Mom's Box is carried.
This item belongs to the Yes Mother? set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into his mother.
Notes[]
- Most trinkets are not affected.
Of the 188 trinkets in Repentance, only 72 have a doubled effect.
This effect stacks additively with
Golden Trinkets; holding one with Mom's Box will cause applicable trinkets to have triple the regular effect.- Holding a second Mom's Box by using
Schoolbag only increases luck, the effects of trinkets are not affected further.
Synergies[]
Book of Virtues: Spawns a normal wisp with no unique effect.
Gulp! Pill / Marbles / Smelter: Trinket effects are still doubled when permanently applied to Isaac.
Broken Remote: Triggers the Teleport 2.0 effect whenever an activated item is used.
Crystal Key: Increases the chance of red rooms spawning.
NO!: Prevents items with quality 0 from appearing.
Rosary Bead: Adds 4 Rosaries to all item pools. Upon picking up a Rosary, the effect will end.- Tick: Boss' health will be reduced by 30%. Having the Tick also be golden does not further decrease boss' health.
Hook Worm / Ring Worm / Wiggle Worm: In addition to the further stats increase, they have an increased effect on your tear trajectory.
Interactions[]
Mother's Kiss: Grants double the heart containers but only one of them is filled.
Void: Passive effects of Mom's Box are lost if absorbed.
No Effect[]
These trinkets are not affected by Mom's Box (excepted in Repentance+).

Trivia[]
- The item description possibly is a reference to the film Seven (1995) where the climax of the film involves the protagonist asking the question over and over again "What's in the box?".
The item strongly resembles the chest found in Mom's room in Home.
This item is used in
Pica Run (challenge #41).
