Synergies
- Book of Virtues: Grants a random wisp based on one of the Seven Deadly Sins. The wisp spawned isn't linked to the pickup dropped.
- Pride: a blue bomb wisp in the middle ring. When destroyed, a small homing bomb that deals normal troll bomb damage is spawned.
- Greed: 3 yellow coin wisps in the outer ring. Their tears may petrify enemies like Midas' Touch.
- Wrath: an orange bomb wisp in the middle ring, which fire flaming tears. They drop troll bombs when continuously firing, and leave a bomb pickup when they die.
- Envy: a white face-like wisp in the outer ring.
- Lust: a randomly colored pill wisp in the inner ring, with effects that are the same as Mom's Bottle of Pills wisps.
- Gluttony: a heart wisp in the middle ring, with effects that are the same as Yum Heart wisps.
- Sloth: a Bob's Head wisp in the middle ring. Their tears travel in an arc like Ipecac but don't always explode on impact. There is a small chance for an exploding tear.
In-game Footage
Trivia
