Euthanasia is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.
Effects
- Adds a chance to fire needles which deal triple Isaac's tear damage.
- Needles will instantly kill regular enemies and cause them to burst into 10 more tears in all directions.
- The chance to fire a needle depends on luck.
- The formula used to determine the chance is:
- At base luck (0), the chance is 3.33%, maxing out at 100% at 14.5 luck.
- The formula used to determine the chance is:
- At base luck (0), the chance is 3.33%, maxing out at 25% at 13 luck.
- The tears released upon an instant-kill also have a chance to be needles, though these ones do not have the instant-kill ability. They do retain the 3× damage, however.
- This item belongs to the Spun set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into a buff berserker.
Notes
- The needle tears can kill enemies that are normally invincible, such as Peep's eyes, Death's Heads, and Stoneys.
- The needle tears can kill Stone Grimaces and Spikeballs, allowing Isaac to permanently remove any obstacle in a room.
- The needle tears can kill Bomb Grimaces, dropping 10 unlit Throwable Bombs. This can make it detrimental to shoot at them, since they are usually provided as a tool rather than an obstacle.
- The tears in the burst are larger than normal but do not have a damage bonus.
- Unless piercing is obtained, Knights will still block the needles if shot from the front.
Interactions
- Brimstone / Dr. Fetus / Mom's Knife / Technology / Trisagion: No appearance change, tear burst, or instant kill, but triple damage still works.
- Brimstone / Dr. Fetus: Enemies killed by a needle burst into normal tears.
- Cricket's Body / The Parasite: Needles will always split into needles, although some of them may be incorrectly displayed as regular tears. Burst tears will split as normal.
- Godhead: The aura of a needle tear will also do triple damage, but does not cause tear burst or instant kill.
- Ipecac: No tear burst or instant kill, but triple damage still works.
- Enemies killed by a needle burst into ipecac shots.
- Jacob's Ladder: The electric arcs released from a needle shot also retain the needle's instant kill and tear burst properties.
- Little Horn: If a tear has both the Euthanasia and Little Horn effects and instantly kills an enemy, it does not cause a tear burst.
- Tech.5: The tears that Isaac fires work normally, and the laser has a chance to deal triple damage with no other effects.
- Tech X: Completely overrides Euthanasia. No triple damage, no tear burst, or instant kill.
- Laser Rings will sometimes deal triple damage/instantly kill regular enemies, and enemies killed by needles burst into normal tears.
- Technology: Killed enemies can burst into black tears normally.
- Technology 2: The tears that Isaac fires work normally, but the laser is completely unaffected.
- The laser has an extremely high chance of executing normal enemies.
- Tiny Planet: Euthanasia's tear bursts will follow the orbit in 2 close groups of 5 tears. One group travels clockwise and the other travels counterclockwise.
- Spirit Sword: Each swing of the sword has a chance to do 3x damage and instantly kill a non-boss enemy, causing a tear explosion.
In-game Footage
Trivia
- Euthanasia is the act of intentionally ending a person or animal's life to end their pain and suffering. It is usually carried out by an injection, hence why this item has the appearance of a needle.
- Euthanasia is the only syringe item that points upwards; all of the other syringes point downwards.
- Euthanasia and Experimental Treatment are the only 2 syringe items that need to be unlocked.
