Trinket ID

Ouroboros Worm is a trinket added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth † expansion.

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

• 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.
• Brimstone: Overrides Ouroboros Worm.
• 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.
• Tech X: Overrides Ouroboros Worm.
• Technology: Grants spectral tears without a change in pattern or a chance of homing shots.

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.
