Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Wiki

(in Afterbirth † and Repentance)

Walnut is a trinket added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.

Effects[]

  • Being hit with an explosion has a 33% chance to destroy the trinket and spawn a PennyCoin, a Red HeartHeart, a KeyKey, and another trinket. The pickups may be of any normal variety.

Notes[]

  • Taking damage from the explosion is not required to trigger the effect. This makes effects granting Invulnerability very useful for safely destroying the Walnut.
  • Getting hit by multiple explosions simultaneously has a high chance of cracking the Walnut, as every individual explosion will have its chance to activate the effect, no matter how closely they occur.

Synergies[]

  • Collectible Bomber Boy iconBomber Boy: As Bomber Boy causes 9 explosions at once, laying a bomb and not moving before it explodes is almost guaranteed to trigger the trinket.
  • Collectible Gnawed Leaf iconGnawed Leaf: Isaac will not be knocked back or take damage from the explosions, but it will count for the trinket.
  • Collectible Holy Mantle iconHoly Mantle: Explosions hitting the mantle still count for the trinket.
  • Collectible Host Hat iconHost Hat / Collectible Pyromaniac iconPyromaniac: Isaac becomes immune to explosions, which allows him to get the effect without any risk.

Interactions[]

  • WalnutWalnut: Impossible to stack, even with Collectible Smelter iconSmelter or Collectible Marbles iconMarbles. Your first Walnut must activate before you can pick up your second.
