Upon use, picks up the obstacle in front of Isaac. The obstacle can be thrown at enemies, dealing 40 damage and breaking on impact, dropping any contents they may contain.
Obstacles can be carried between rooms.
Using it on a Host will lift the shell off and transform it into a Red Host. Isaac can throw the shell after picking it up.
Isaac can throw bombs using this, either his bombs or Troll Bombs.
Golden Troll Bombs grant Isaac unlimited bombs for the floor as they can be carried through rooms this way.
Throwing a Throwable Bomb counts as using the bracelet, using up a charge.
The item's charge will only be depleted once an object is thrown.
Activating the item again will drop the picked up obstacle where Isaac is standing without consuming a charge. This doesn't damage Isaac directly, but any break effects the obstacle has can still occur.
This makes it easy to quickly clear paths through large amounts of rocks.
While the dropped obstacle is falling toward the ground, it can be picked up again by activating Mom's Bracelet.
Obstacles thrown by enemies, such as Polties, can be caught in the same way.
Spiked rocks cannot be picked up, even if their spikes are retracted.
Throwing a Giant Poop at an enemy deals 320 damage instead of 40.
Activating the item while running into a Red Poop will allow Isaac to chuck it and effectively remove it from the room.
While carrying a rock, Isaac cannot drop down a trapdoor to the next floor. This can be used as a way to get pickups close to an open trapdoor without accidentally dropping to the next floor.
Synergies[ | ]
Best Friend: The explosive decoy can be picked up and thrown.
Book of Virtues: Three wisps are created where thrown obstacles land; these wisps rotate around where the obstacle was thrown and fire tears in the same direction Isaac does. The wisps do not persist between rooms. Isaac cannot have more than 8 of these wisps at one time, and wisps in Isaac's middle ring count against this limit. Wisps' tears have a 10% chance of inflicting confusion on enemies.
Cube Baby: Can be picked up and thrown by using the bracelet while trying to kick the Cube Baby. When thrown, Cube Baby deals around the amount of damage as a higher speed kick, but it will also leave the creep that a frozen enemy would create when kicked.
Multidimensional Baby: Rocks thrown through the baby will turn into tears, thus removing the possibility to get any rewards from rocks that spawn them.
Stompy transformation: Isaac will raise his hands, but be unable to pick up any rocks, effectively rendering the bracelet useless. Can still be used on Hosts.
This item can be found as one of the Nintendo-themed Treasure Room items in the 6th of December's Daily Run, which is an homage to the late CEO of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata.
Bugs[ | ]
Bug!
Using Mom's Bracelet to throw a tile into Multidimensional Baby will turn the tile into two tears, and any pickups (such as Soul Hearts from Tinted Rocks) will not drop.
Bug!
Infinite skulls can be farmed off of Hosts even though after initially removing the skull, the Host changes into a different variant.
