Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Wiki

(in Afterbirth † and Repentance)

Notes[]

  • (in Repentance) PerfectionPerfection is still removed if Isaac takes damage from regular sources.

  • It is possible to find previously smelted trinkets during a Victory Lap, or if the trinket Item Pool is exhausted.
  • (except in Repentance) Picking up a copy of a trinket which was already absorbed will not duplicate that trinket's effect.
  • (except in Repentance) The trinket will not be absorbed if Smelter is activated during the pickup animation.

Synergies[]

  • (in Repentance) Glyph of Balance: Allows a trinket to appear every time there's a room clear drop as long as the other room clear drop criteria aren't satisfied, as it empties the trinket slot.

  • (in Repentance) Tainted Isaac: Absorbed trinkets do not take up an item slot.
