I got this effect on the right with Brimstone, the Ludovico Technique, and the Wiggle Worm.

synergy with death's touch[]
will grant a controllable spinning scythe with increased damage and notable size.
- When ever you edit an article you will see a big red box on top of the page that contains messages. Read it as it contains information about what Death's scythe isn't.

Bug when the Ludovico Technique with technology2[]
I get technology2 first and LUdovico Technique later, then my tear float in the room but my laser not go to the direction I holding on, it go to the direction of my tear. I mean if I am in the left side of a room and my tear in the right side, even I'm holding left, my laser still go right. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture or save the seed of this game, because it just first few times I'm trying this game and don't know much about it.
Ludovico Technique loss[]
If you have Ludovico Technique and pick up Dr. Fetus you lose it. Is there a place for that information on the main page?
Powerful Seed[]
Unsure how to edit the main page, but I've found a pretty powerful seed (Ludovico Technique, Lump of Coal, $$$ is Power (+ Counterfeit Coin) + The Wafer) that could be pretty cool to add - ZNCK KW9F - You do not exactly lose it completely, Dr. Fetus + Ludovico means you throw bombs just like Dr. Fetus, but you can control where they go after you throw them just like Ludovico. 62.0.53.15 13:52, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
ludovico + cricket's body[]
After I obtained both Ludovico and Cricket's body, two smaller tears started orbiting the controlled tear. Also, when moved over an enemy, the damage wasn't continuous but periodic. Could someone confirm this?
Mouse[]
You can now control the tear using your mouse in the most recent update
- I'm on 1.041 and I can't control it with the mouse, both windowed and fullscreen. Zhnigo (talk) 21:14, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
Ludovico + Brimstone (at least Azazel's short ranged one) + Spoon bender[]
The brimstone circle stretches to nearby enemies, vertically reaching all enemies that walk on the ground from the vertical middle on normal sized rooms. --78.27.125.60 16:54, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Extra Triple Synergies Involving The Ludovico Technique and Brimstone[]
I think it should be mentioned under the Brimstone bit in the Synergies section, alongside the mentioned triple synergies including Wiggle Worm and Spoon Bender, that a triple synergy including Proptosis will result in a larger ring that grows slightly smaller as it moves from the player, and also still receives the damage bonus.
Additionally, The Ludovicho Technique, Brimstone and Pulse Worm together create a pulsating ring that grows smaller and larger, one after the other, fairly quickly.
Dunce Cap synergy[]
With Dunce Cap, a smaller tear orbits around the main tear, and the keys make both tears move diagonally. Left -> up and left, up -> up and right, etc.
Added a new subject[]
So having the Ludovico Technique seems to give Lilith's Incubi's tears piercing, as well as visually continuing off the screen. A seed (DLC) for the Ludo is C26LN3KD for testing purposes
Soy Milk[]
Just had both Ludovico followed by Soy Milk in a daily challenge. Whereas normally the tear does "pulse" damage, with Soy Milk it becomes continuous. The overall effect seemed to be faster damage. --92.238.86.48 20:02, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
Dead Eye[]
This item synergizes really well with this. Since it never hits a wall or floor, you never lose the damage bonus. --78.73.227.211 07:25, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Head of The Keeper[]
If it isn't obvious already, it makes the tear into a penny, it kinda makes me laugh heh. ~A friendly Guest
continuum[]
continuum still works with ludovico technique; manually moving the tear off one side of the screen causes it to reappear on the other side. 108.41.28.172 17:58, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
bookworm interaction[]
When taking the Ludovico with the Bookworm transformation, the tear spawning noise occurs repeatedly (multiple times per second), and there appears to be tears moving rapidly from Isaac to the Ludovico tear. These tears seem to collide with enemies between Isaac and the tear, and cause damage to those enemies. --Susurrance (talk) 21:33, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Further: With Mom's Knife, Ludovico, and Bookworm, a rapidly blinking knife spawns rotating around the Ludovico Mom's Knife. -- Susurrance (talk) 22:17, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
= the wiz + 20/20[]
had this with the wiz giving the orbital tear, got 20/20 and it added 2 more orbiting tears(for 3 total)
Fire Mind in AB+[]
It seems like in, at least in AB+, Fire Mind + Ludo no longer explodes. Even getting luck up to 15 with fire mind, after picking up Ludovico Technique, the tear never exploded once for the rest of the run.
Currently undocumented tear behaviour? (Rep)[]
Seems like Repentance, whether on purpose or by accident, has altered the way Ludovico Technique works to teleport the tear back to Isaac after a ~30-second delay of some sort. I'm not sure if it's specifically when it's being hovered overtop of an enemy or simply not being moved, I've seen reports of both on Reddit etc. It most likely affects all Ludovico synergies as well, as long as they're a directly-controllable tear.
Edit: I just spent an hour with a Ludovico tear hovered over Hush, and switched between Brimstone and Technology between phases. No tear teleportation. If it was a bug people are/were having, I'm not seeing it, but it could be with certain bosses that have weird phase changes or alter the map somehow.
- This was an issue with "sticky" tear effects like
Sinus Infection and Explosivo, where the Ludo would snap back to Isaac when one of these were applied (the Ludo tear literally stuck to the enemy, meaning it had to respawn). I believe this was fixed in Repentance, so reports may be from people without the DLC. TheMurlocAggroB (talk) 21:25, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, from what I'd seen, it seemed like there was a Repentance-specific bug regarding Ludovico and certain stationary bosses like Mega Satan, separate from sticky tear effects. I'll have to test again later with the big boy. Iskawhiskers 17:33, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
Crash with Sulfur(and Brimstone?) with Ludovico and Mutant Spider(and any extra tear items?)[]
Using Sulfur while having Mutant Spider and Ludovico causes the game to crash. I'm not sure if it might happen with the similar items, so if anyone wants to test it out and add it in the bug section feel free.
cains other eye[]
dont know where else to put this but the interaction/s with cains other eye are not listed on the page.i would like them to be added to the page so i can understand what is going on with the eyes mini ludovico technique tear.
