For the trinket with a similar name, see Monkey Paw.
The Left Hand is an unlockable trinket.
Effects[ | ]
- Replaces all types of Chests with Red Chests.
Notes[ | ]
- The effect includes Chests already spawned. Entering a room that previously contained other types of Chests while holding The Left Hand will turn them into Red Chests permanently.
- Chests that have already spawned are not converted into Red Chests.
- It is advised to drop The Left Hand (by holding either CTRL key for few seconds, holding R2 or RT for 3 seconds on PS4 and Vita and Xbox One, respectively, or holding ZR on the New Nintendo 3DS / Nintendo Switch for a few seconds) before entering Chest, as non-Red Chests always contain item pedestals on this floor, especially the 4 located in the starting room.
- Isaac may prefer Red Chests for their possible Soul Hearts or Red Chest items, at the expense of guaranteed items.
- Locked Chests converted in Chest's starting room will contain Devil Deals, potentially allowing for more powerful items, but at the cost of Hearts.
- Bomb Chests are affected by The Left Hand. Old Chests and Mega Chests are not affected.
Interactions[ | ]
- Gilded Key: Overridden by The Left Hand.
- Sharp Key: Enemies killed by keys will only give the contents of red chests allowing items to be obtained through Sharp Key more consistently.
