Taurus
Effects
- -0.3 speed.
- (Removed in Repentance) -0.3 maximum speed.
- When in a room with enemies, Isaac gradually gains speed at a rate of +0.065 per tick.
- (Removed in Repentance) This speed boost will be able to go past the lowered maximum.
- Once Isaac's speed reaches 2.0, he gains the My Little Unicorn effect for 5 seconds, becoming invulnerable, and loses the speed bonus from Taurus afterward.
Notes
- Isaac slowly gains a red tint that becomes more intense as he gains speed.
- The speed boost and invulnerability effect activate only once per room.
- The higher Isaac's base speed, the quicker the effect activates. It can activate immediately upon entering a room if his base speed is already 2.0 .
- The item doesn't trigger in rooms that don't have enemies when first entered. This includes Challenge Rooms, Sacrifice Rooms when spawning Uriel or Gabriel, and the Boss Rush room.
- If Isaac gets teleported out of the room by any source, the My Little Unicorn effect won't trigger if the room is re-entered.
- Bombs can be placed during the charge.
- (Added in Repentance) When playing as (Jacob and Esau) Jacob and Esau, the speed changes apply for both, but only the character that is holding Taurus gains invincibility.
Synergies
- (Removed in Repentance) Blood Rights: While Isaac is invincible, Blood Rights can be freely used without taking damage. This trivializes many rooms, and since Taurus can activate every room, this combination can be game-changing, especially if Isaac has high base speed.
- (Added in Repentance) Isaac will still take damage from Blood Rights during the invincibility.
- Gnawed Leaf: Isaac's speed will still increase while he is invincible from Gnawed Leaf, allowing Taurus to activate with only a very small period of vulnerability when first entering a room.
- (Added in Repentance) Rock Bottom: Isaac keeps the maximum speed boost after reaching it once.
- (Added in Afterbirth) Serpent's Kiss/ The Virus: Isaac will poison enemies in addition to dealing damage to them on contact.
Interactions
- (Removed in Repentance) Libra: Isaac's damage and range increases as speed increases. However, if Isaac's base speed is not high enough, the invincibility never activates.
- (Added in Repentance) Damage, Range, and Tear delay increase as speed increases. Speed increases much slower than normal.
- The Ludovico Technique: Isaac cannot control the tear while invincible, but any enemies touching it will still take damage from it.
