Eye of Greed is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.

Effects

  • Adds a golden tear every 20 tears fired, which causes enemies to turn gold and petrifies them for a few seconds (similar to Collectible Midas' Touch icon.pngMidas' Touch) at the cost of one Penny.pngPenny. Golden tears can still be fired if Isaac has no money.
    • Unlike other tear effects, golden tears are fired alongside regular tears rather than replacing a regular tear.
    • With multi-shot abilities, whichever tear is the 20th since previous will produce the additional golden tear.
    • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) The golden tear does 2x normal damage.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) If Isaac has no money, the golden tear does normal tear damage. If Isaac does have money, the golden tear deals 1.5x normal damage +10.
    • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Enemies killed while golden will drop 1-4 coins.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Enemies killed while golden will drop 1-3 coins.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) If Isaac has money, golden tears that hit enemies will drop a Penny.pngPenny, effectively returning the cost.

Notes

  • Tears fired from items that cause multiple tears to be fired at once, e.g. Collectible 20 20 icon.png20/20, Collectible Monstro's Lung icon.pngMonstro's Lung, etc., are counted.
    • The gold tear is not duplicated by said items.
  • Character The Forgotten icon.pngThe Forgotten has separate tear counters for The Forgotten and Soul.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Using this item is an easy way of unlocking Collectible Golden Razor icon.pngGolden Razor after obtaining 99 coins, since it drains them by just shooting and with enough patience it will reduce their count to 0.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Hitting Armored Boss Tuff Twins ingame.pngTuff Twins or Boss The Shell ingame.pngThe Shell will turn them into gold, and all armored segments will drop 1-3 coins.

Synergies

  • Collectible Compound Fracture icon.pngCompound Fracture / Collectible Cricket's Body icon.pngCricket's Body / Collectible The Parasite icon.pngThe Parasite: Golden tears will still look like coins and will still split into other golden coins when hitting obstacles.
  • Equality!Equality!: The coin lost when firing the tear can be quite useful for equalizing the pickup counter.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Humbleing Bundle icon.pngHumbleing Bundle: Affects coins dropped from hitting enemies, allowing Isaac to potentially farm money.
  • Collectible Lachryphagy icon.pngLachryphagy: Golden tears can also be fed and will burst into split tears. Burst tears are not golden.
  • Piercing tears: The golden tear will petrify all enemies it hits, (in Repentance and Repentance+) and will drop a penny for each one.
  • Collectible Trisagion icon.pngTrisagion: Golden tears become blast that constantly drop Pennies on hit.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Urn of Souls icon.pngUrn of Souls: Golden tears still shoot as normal while using the urn.
