The Inner Eye is a passive item.

Effects

• Isaac fires a spread of three tears at once.
• Tears down: (Delay * 2.1) + 3
  • Tears fired per second * 0.51.

Notes

• The maximum amount of tears per volley that can be reached by combining and/or duplicating 20/20, The Inner Eye, Mutant Spider and The Wiz is 16, or 20 with Keeper.

Synergies

• Cursed Eye: At full charge, fires 3 rows of 4 tears, resulting in 12 tears.
  • At full charge, fires 3 rows of 5 tears, resulting in 15 tears.
• Doctor's Remote / Epic Fetus: Replaces the single missile strike with a barrage of three consecutive missiles.
• The Inner Eye: Effects stack, resulting in 6 tears being shot with no further decrease in fire rate.
  • Adds an additional tear with no further decrease in fire rate. This can be stacked up to 16 tears.
• The Ludovico Technique: The tear gains two orbiting tears.
• Polyphemus: Tear rate is not lowered further. Damage is increased by a flat +5 instead of a normal Polyphemus boost.
  • Damage is increased by a flat +5 instead of a normal Polyphemus boost. Decreases fire rate by a little.
• Technology 2: The laser is not affected by The Inner Eye.

Interactions

• Tainted Keeper: Only fires 5 tears in the volley, while still gaining significantly increased tear delay.

• Loki's Horns: Only occasionally fires one tear in the other three directions.
• Mom's Eye: Only occasionally fires one tear out of the back of Isaac's head.
• Mutant Spider: Overrides The Inner Eye.
  • Shoots 7 tears instead of 3. No further decrease in fire rate.

• Sad Bombs: Does not affect the number of tears when bombs explode.
• Varicose Veins: No effect on number of tears when taking damage.

Trivia

• The Inner Eye is a reference to the concept of the 'third eye', an idea popular in Eastern mysticism dictating the existence of an invisible third eye usually located on a person's forehead which would allow them to see beyond normal reality.
• The eye on ???'s head appears as an X, similar to this character's other eyes
