8 Inch Nails
Effects
Notes
- Does not grant penetrative shots, despite the appearance of Isaac's tears.
- Any item that normally colors Isaac's tears red will cause the nails to become bloody.
Synergies

- Dr. Fetus / Epic Fetus / Ipecac: Explosions also gain increased knockback.
- The Ludovico Technique: The controlled tear gains knockback.
- Mom's Knife: The knife gains knockback.
