Soy Milk is a passive item.

Effects

Notes

  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) At base tear rate, Soy Milk sets the player's tear delay to the game's minimum value of 1, for 15 tears per second. This is much lower than the normal minimum tear delay; see the tear delay explanation page.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) At base damage, Soy Milk is a very small DPS up. With a tear delay of 8 or lower, Soy Milk becomes a DPS down. The more tears per second before obtaining Soy Milk, the greater the decrease in DPS.
  • Soy Milk's damage down stat also significantly decreases tear size.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) The endless stream of tears effectively increases directional knockback.
  • Due to the high fire rate, items that cause tears to inflict status effects activate more frequently.
  • (in Rebirth) Soy Milk is a special item.

Synergies

  • Collectible 20 20 icon.png20/20: The shot pattern may help in controlling enemy knockback, in addition to dealing up to (except in Repentance and Repentance+) double damage (in Repentance and Repentance+) 60% more damage.
  • Collectible Blood Clot icon.pngBlood Clot: +1 damage bonus on the left eye. Blood Clot tears are unaffected by the damage penalty.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Collectible Brimstone icon.pngBrimstone/ Character Azazel icon.pngAzazel: Beam can be fired continuously after charging. The beam can change its direction while being fired, and can be aimed in any direction with joystick controls.
  • Collectible Chemical Peel icon.pngChemical Peel: +2 damage bonus on the left eye. Chemical Peel tears are unaffected by the damage penalty.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Chocolate Milk icon.pngChocolate Milk: Shots cannot be charged, but Isaac gains a flat +1 damage up after the Soy Milk penalty.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Shots cannot be charged, but Isaac shoots moderately charged shots at a quick pace.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Cursed Eye icon.pngCursed Eye: Fires automatically upon reaching full charge. This may be riskier than Cursed Eye alone because Soy Milk prevents Isaac from holding a fully charged shot.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth)Collectible Euthanasia icon.pngEuthanasia/(except in Rebirth and Afterbirth)Collectible Little Horn icon.pngLittle Horn: Allow Isaac to quickly execute non-boss enemies.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Little Horn's damage to bosses is not affected by the penalty, resulting in significantly higher damage output.
  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Explosivo icon.pngExplosivo: Despite the tiny appearance of the bomb tears, the explosions will do normal explosion damage. Due to the massive fire rate, many bombs can be applied in extremely quick succession, decimating anything after a short delay.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Godhead icon.pngGodhead: The damage of the tears' aura is not affected by the reduction.
  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Head of the Keeper icon.pngHead of the Keeper: The barrage of tears makes it much more likely for coin drops.
  • Collectible Ipecac icon.pngIpecac: The very fast rate of fire fills the screen with low damage explosions.
    • Ipecac + Collectible Technology icon.pngTechnology: The lasers will explode when they hit a rock, wall, or enemy. This combined with Soy Milk's fire rate and Ipecac's damage makes for an extremely safe method of clearing most rooms.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth)Collectible Lead Pencil icon.pngLead Pencil: The extra tear burst is fired very often.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Libra icon.pngLibra: Decreases fire rate slightly, but massively increases damage, range, and speed. Tear height is also massively increased, meaning tears can hit enemies through obstacles without spectral effect.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Resets stats to slightly higher than base level.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Libra + Collectible Brimstone icon.pngBrimstone: Constant Brimstone beam at normal/higher damage.
  • Collectible Lost Contact icon.pngLost Contact: Extremely effective at blocking shots.
  • Collectible A Lump of Coal icon.pngA Lump of Coal: Significantly increases tear damage as they get further away.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Monstro's Lung icon.pngMonstro's Lung: Continuously fires tear barrages without the need to be charged.
  • Collectible The Mulligan icon.pngThe Mulligan: Will generate an enormous wave of blue flies given that each tear has a 1/6 chance of spawning one.
    • The same applies to GuppyGuppy since each tear (except in Repentance and Repentance+) is guaranteed to spawn a fly (in Repentance and Repentance+) has a 2/3 chance of spawning one.
  • Collectible Mysterious Liquid icon.pngMysterious Liquid: Each shot creates creep that deals reasonable damage but stacks with every shot, causing hefty damage.
  • Piercing tears: Causes tears to affect enemy movement less for better accuracy, though also removes the advantage of rapidly knocking back enemies.
  • Collectible Pisces icon.pngPisces: Greatly increases knockback, allowing tears to pin enemies against walls.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Rock Bottom icon.pngRock Bottom: Grants a huge fire rate up without lowering Isaac's current damage. However, the damage multiplier and damage down still apply behind the scenes, making it very difficult to gain additional damage.
  • Collectible Strange Attractor icon.pngStrange Attractor: Enemies get pulled towards Isaac's tears, allowing for higher accuracy and a way to work around the reduced knockback.
    • Despite the tears having a stronger magnetic quality as they travel, it is still possible for enemies to get knocked wildly around the room. It is advised to play the long-range game when utilizing this synergy.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Tech X icon.pngTech X: Automatically charges and fires fully charged Tech X rings. Non-fully charged rings can still be fired by releasing the fire key during charging, but much harder due to the high fire rate and removal of charge bar.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth)Collectible Technology Zero icon.pngTechnology Zero: The near-constant stream of tears will have electricity chained between them, providing an electrical net of damage making it almost impossible to not hit an enemy. This can greatly help offset the lowered damage by increasing the number of hits.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Torn CardTorn Card: Unlike the normal Ipecac synergy, Torn Card shots ignore the damage down multiplier and always deal +40 damage, significantly increasing DPS.

Interactions

  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Almond Milk icon.pngAlmond Milk: Overrides Soy Milk (no additional effect on tears or damage).
  • (in Rebirth) Collectible Dr. Fetus icon.pngDr. Fetus: Rapidly shoots very low damage bombs. Can create a line of bombs which can knock each other back, which can be difficult to avoid taking damage from.
    • (in Afterbirth and Afterbirth †) Rapidly shoots medium damage bombs. Can create a line of bombs which can knock each other back, which can be difficult to avoid taking damage from.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Rapidly shoots low damage mini-bombs. Bombs don't knock each other back.
  • Collectible Epic Fetus icon.pngEpic Fetus: Damage of missiles will be decreased accordingly, but unlike normal tears, there is still a fixed timed delay between firing missiles.
  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Kidney Stone icon.pngKidney Stone: Charge time is not affected.
  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Maw Of The Void icon.pngMaw Of The Void: Charge time is not affected, but damage is still reduced.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Collectible Mom's Knife icon.pngMom's Knife: No special synergy; charge bar still disappears, but the knife will not be automatically released upon full charge.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Proptosis icon.pngProptosis: The low-damage, lowered size tears disappear extremely quickly, greatly reducing effective range.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) The damage reduction causes tears to disappear more quickly, slightly reducing effective range.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Revelation icon.pngRevelation: Charge time is not affected, but damage is still reduced.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Collectible Technology 2 icon.pngTechnology 2: Half of the Soy Milk tears are replaced by a constant laser, but damage down compounds.
