Golden Trinket

Golden Trinkets are an unlockable type of trinket unlocked by beating Mega Satan with Tainted Jacob.

Effects

Golden trinkets have their effects multiplied by 2 where applicable, identical to how the trinket works with Mom's Box.
- A Golden Trinket combined with Mom's Box has 3x strength.
- Some golden trinkets have special effects.

Notes

Once unlocked, any trinket drop has a 2% chance to spawn as a golden version of itself. This includes regular room drops, opening chests, using Mom's Box, finding them in the shop in Greed Mode, etc.
- This chance is not affected by luck, Mom's Box or difficulty settings.
Holding a golden trinket counts as the player holding 2 of the normal version.
Only trinkets that are affected by Mom's Box or can stack with each other are affected by their golden counterparts. Others will act just like the normal ones.
Hardcoded drops such as Mysterious Paper from Divorce Papers, The Left Hand from beating Ultra Pride, Forgotten Lullaby from bombing The Siren's skull and Perfection for beating 3 bosses without taking damage cannot spawn as golden variants.
Eden and Tainted Eden's starting trinket can also be a golden one.
if a violet champion monster is killed while it is gold-petrified, for instance through Midas' Touch or Eye of Greed, the trinket it drops is guaranteed to be a golden one. Rainbow champions still drop normal trinkets.

Notable effects

Broken Remote: Triggers the Teleport 2.0 effect whenever an activated item is used.
Crystal Key: Increases the chance of red rooms spawning.
Kid's Drawing: Having a golden version counts as having 2 Guppy items.
Mysterious Candy: Spawned poops will be Golden Poops.
- Mom's Box cannot replicate this effect.
NO!: Prevents items with quality 0 from appearing.
Rosary Bead: Adds 4 Rosary items to all item pools.
Store Credit: The trinket won't be removed. Instead, it has a chance to turn into a non-Golden Store Credit.
Tick: The golden Tick can be dropped/replaced like any other regular trinket.
Hook Worm / Ring Worm / Wiggle Worm: In addition to the further stats increase, they have an increased effect on your tear trajectory.

Trivia

The ID, or more accurately subtype, of a golden trinket is the normal ID + 32768. For example, the ID of Golden Cancer is 32807 (because it normally has an ID of 39).
- The Debug Console spawn code would in this case be 5.350.32807.
Using the high damage debug flag, debug 4, causes all trinkets spawn as golden ones.

Bugs

Bug!

Golden trinkets rerolled by will cause the resulting pickup to have the golden effect applied to it. If this is a trinket, the trinket will turn into a standard trinket, otherwise the gold effect will do nothing and will disappear upon leaving and re-entering the room.
