Astropulvis is an active item added in The Reheated Update.

Effects

• On use, destroys the closest Rock or Poop in the room, leaving behind a large red ghost. Using the item again will consume Astropulvis' charge and detonate the ghost, creating 3 red blood explosions which damage enemies and destroy enemy projectiles. The explosions will not destroy Rocks or other Obstacles.
  • Using Astropulvis while there is no ghost in the room will not consume the charge.
  • The damage of the explosions created by the ghosts is equal to Isaac's Damage + 8 × (Stage ÷ 2), and each explosion can hit an enemy up to 4 times.

Notes

• The ghosts created by Astropulvis are very similar to the ghosts created with Vade Retro, in terms of function — however, one difference is that Astropulvis ghosts cannot be pushed around by Isaac's tears.
• Astropulvis essentially grants the ability to destroy any and all Rocks for free, including breaking open Tinted Rocks, or even for finding Crawl Space trapdoors if the player is patient enough.

Interactions

• Book of Virtues: Detonating a ghost spawns a red and black wisp that has 1 HP and deals 2 damage with its projectiles. Detonating another ghost will also detonate the Astropulvis wisp, creating a blood explosion that deals 5 damage per tick, while spawning a new wisp from the ghost.
• Vade Retro: Though Astropulvis ghosts are superficially similar to those created by Vade Retro, it will not detonate the ghosts created by Astropulvis.
• Judas + Birthright: When detonated, each ghost creates 3 additional smaller explosions in a ring. These small explosions deal Judas' Damage + 6 × (Stage ÷ 2)

Trivia

• Astropulvis translates to "star dust" in Latin.
