Euthanasia
Effects
- Adds a chance to fire needles which deal triple Isaac's tear damage.
- Needles will instantly kill regular enemies and cause them to burst into 10 more tears in all directions.
- The chance to fire a needle depends on luck.
- At base luck (0), it is 3.33%
- (Removed in Repentance)It is 100% at 15 luck.
- (Added in Repentance)It maxes out at 50% with 15 luck.
- This item belongs to the Spun set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into a buff berserker.
Notes
- The needle tears can kill enemies that are normally invincible, such as Peep's eyes, Death's Heads, and Stoneys.
- The needle tears can kill Grimaces, allowing Isaac to permanently remove any obstacle in a room.
- (Added in Repentance) The needle tears can kill Bomb Grimaces, dropping 10 unlit Throwable Bombs. This can make it detrimental to shoot at them, since they are usually provided as a tool rather than an obstacle.
- Possible needle tears in a burst from killing an enemy do not retain the instant kill and burst-causing capabilities, but still deal triple damage. This prevents chain reactions of bursts.
- The tears in the burst are larger than normal but do not have a damage bonus.
- Unless piercing is obtained, Knights will still block the needles if shot from the front.
Interactions
- (Removed in Repentance) Brimstone / (Removed in Repentance) Dr. Fetus / Mom's Knife / Technology / Trisagion: No appearance change, tear burst, or instant kill, but triple damage still works.

- Godhead: The aura of a needle tear will also do triple damage, but does not cause tear burst or instant kill.
- Ipecac: No tear burst or instant kill, but triple damage still works.
- (Added in Repentance)Enemies killed by a needle burst into ipecac shots.
- (Added in Repentance) Jacob's Ladder: The electric arcs released from a needle shot also retain the needle's instant kill and tear burst properties.
- Little Horn: If a tear has both the Euthanasia and Little Horn effects and instantly kills an enemy, it does not cause a tear burst.

- (Added in Repentance)Laser Rings will sometimes deal triple damage/instantly kill regular enemies, and enemies killed by needles burst into normal tears.

- (Added in Repentance) The laser has an extremely high chance of executing normal enemies.
