Changes: The Virus

Revision as of 10:04, 2 November 2018

The Virus is a passive item.

Effects

Inflicts poison on enemies who make contact with Isaac.
- The poison randomly hits either 2 or 3 times, dealing a total of 4 or 6 damage.
  - Each poison hit deals damage equal to Isaac's tear damage.
- Enemies who are killed after they have been inflicted with this type of poison have a 20% chance to drop Black Hearts.
-0.1 Speed down ( not applied until the next time Isaac's speed stat is updated)

Notes

The black heart is only dropped if the poison was caused by The Virus. The item's effect doesn't extend to poison tears.
Black flies are the best source of black hearts, since they can't deal any damage, which means that you can poison them without losing health.
- You can abuse this if you find a Skatole item and a Hive enemy. This will result in an infinite source of black hearts.
- Although Stonies and Shopkeepers can't be visibly poisoned, they still can drop Black Hearts if destroyed after being touched.
Due to a glitch or patch, some enemies must be moving to receive poison damage. Some enemies pushing against Isaac that are immobile will not take damage, while the poisoned effect will still show up.
- Gnawed Leaf and The Virus can still work if Isaac has a short range orbital such as Cube of Meat or Ball of Bandages, as it will kill enemies pushing against Isaac that are not taking poison damage due to immobility while still dropping black hearts.

Trivia

Upon picking up The Virus, Isaac looks very similar to Lust, which is fitting since Lust also drops The Virus.
