Bone Spurs is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

  • Enemies spawn 1-2 floating bones on death, which block enemy shots and damage/repel enemies that touch them.
    • Bones block 2 shots and/or deals 2 ticks of damage before breaking.
    • Bones deal contact damage equal to Isaac's damage in the moment they were created.

Notes

  • Bone particles will be created whenever Isaac shoots, though this is purely visual.
  • Because the bones deal contact damage equal to Isaac's damage in the moment they were created, if the damage stat was changed, the bones that were already present on the screen will use Isaac's old damage stat.
  • The bones can immediately hit splitting enemies' spawns, damaging or destroying them as well.

Synergies

  • Collectible BFFS! icon.pngBFFS!: Doubles the bones' size and damage.
  • Collectible Spin to Win icon.pngSpin to Win: Boosts the bones' damage while spinning even though there's no visual tell of the effect.

Bugs

Bug Bug! If switching between Character Tainted Lazarus icon.pngTainted Lazarus and Character Dead Tainted Lazarus icon.pngDead Tainted Lazarus with the Collectible Flip icon.pngFlip item, there is a chance to spawn a mass amount of bone spurs on the place you flip each time you use the item.
