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 number 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

• 20/20: Shoots 5 tears with no further decrease in fire rate.
  • Removes the fire rate penalty while reducing damage to 80%. Additional copies will add one additional tear with no further change to damage/fire rate.
• Abyss: When Isaac uses Abyss to absorb The Inner Eye it creates three locusts instead of one.
• 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.
• Mom's Knife: 3 knives are fired.
• Mutant Spider: Shoots 7 tears instead of 3. No further decrease in fire rate.
  • Shoots 5 tears instead of 3. Decreases fire rate by a little.
• Polyphemus: Tear rate is not lowered further. Damage is increased by a flat +5 instead of a normal Polyphemus boost.

• Tractor Beam: All tears are fired along the beam, but some may be hard to see as they overlap each other.

• Tainted Keeper: Only fires 5 tears in the volley, while still gaining significantly decreased fire rate.

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
