While most passive items have their effects "bound" to them, with the changes reverted with the loss of the item, some passive items have a permanent effect that triggers on pickup.Note that pickups will be kept regardless of which way they were gained (picked up or directly added to the counters).Įven if one of the item is a set drop, the other one is still randomly pulled from the current room's item pool. Swallowed trinkets also do not count towards the 8 item limit.ĭropping items causes their passive buffs to be removed, however health or pickups will be kept (such as from Breakfast or Pageant Boy). The Polaroid, The Negative, Key Piece 1, Key Piece 2, Knife Piece 1, Knife Piece 2, Dad's Note, Birthright, the passive item created when Damocles is used (the one with item ID " 656"), and all activated items are exempt from this limit and do not take up inventory space. Once an item has been picked up it will no longer cycle between items. Whichever item is currently visible when the item is picked up will be the one selected. In exchange for this, all rerollable item pedestals, Shop items, and Devil deals will cycle between two items for the player to choose from, essentially a stronger version of More Options + There's Options. The swap key can be pressed to cycle which item is selected. Upon picking up a 9th passive item, the item currently selected, or rather the item currently in the white square, will be dropped on a pedestal in front of Tainted Isaac.

Tainted Isaac's current 8 passive items are visible in the top-left corner of the screen, with one highlighted by a white square. Tainted Isaac can only hold 8 passive items at a time.
