Afterbirth added 29 new trinkets, for a total of 89 trinkets. The original Binding of Isaac DLC 'The Wrath of the Lamb' introduced Trinkets as a mechanic and had 33 trinkets.
For example, the Callus only prevents damage from spikes and creep, while many items that do the same also grant Isaac flight. Absorbed trinkets do not take up a trinket slot and act as permanent passive effects.Ĭompared to items with a similar effect, trinket effects are typically more subtle, less powerful or less reliable. Some of these limitations can be bypassed with certain items Mom's Purse and Belly Button allow two trinkets to be held at once, and trinkets can be absorbed by Smelter, Marbles, or Gulp!. Only one trinket can be carried at a time and must be dropped if you wish to carry another.
Trinkets are a kind of collectible with their designated slot that provide passive bonuses.
