Ouroboros Worm is a trinket added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.
Effects[]
- Tears travel in a large spiral pattern.
- Grants spectral tears.
+4.0 range.
- +2.0 tear height.
- A luck-based chance for a homing shot, reaching 100% at 9 luck.
- The homing shots are not different in appearance.
- The homing does not override the spiral pattern, making them still unreliable.
Synergies[]
Aquarius: Creep has a chance to be homing.
Dr. Fetus: Since the bombs don't follow the spiral pattern, only the extra range, spectral bombs, and chance for a homing bomb apply.
Tractor Beam: The tears follow a straight path, ignoring the spiral pattern; the tears also stall at a specific point, giving a greater chance to land tears.
Interactions[]
Azazel: Increases the range of his short-ranged Brimstone. No homing chance.
His Brimstone now spins.
Brimstone: Overrides Ouroboros Worm.
The Brimstone laser is shot in a spiral pattern. Homing does take effect, but is hardly noticeable.
The Ludovico Technique: The tear spirals around in a difficult to control manner, with the added homing chance further complicating things.
Mom's Knife: Overrides Ouroboros Worm.
Works as intended. The homing, however, is questionable.
Proptosis: The curious pattern allows dealing full damage from a safer range.
-
Tainted Azazel: His Brimstone laser is shot in a spiral pattern. Homing does take effect, but is hardly noticeable.
Tech X: Overrides Ouroboros Worm.
Tech X now inherits the homing chance benefit, without being affected by the pattern.
Technology: Grants spectral tears without a change in pattern or a chance of homing shots.
The tech laser is now affected by the pattern. The homing DOES take affect, but it's fairly hard to notice.

Trivia[]
- This trinket is a reference to Øuroboros, which was a prototype of the game "The End is Nigh" by Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel.
- The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol, showing a serpent or dragon eating its tail.
