Peppermint is a passive item added in The Reheated Update.

Effects

• Grants Isaac a 1/12 chance to shoot light-blue flames alongside his regular tears.
  • Flames deal 1.5× Isaac's damage each tick at full size (compared to Bird's Eye's 4× damage) and will slow enemies for 2 seconds. If an enemy dies from the flame, they become frozen into an ice statue.
  • Flames can block up to four shots and/or deal four ticks of damage before being destroyed, and linger for up to 10 seconds.
  • The chance to fire a freezing flame is affected by luck, reaching a 100% chance at 12 luck.

Notes

• The fires created by Peppermint can destroy Shopkeepers.
• Unlike Bird's Eye, The size of the flames created by Peppermint is not influenced by Isaac's tears size or damage stat. However, also unlike its counterpart, Peppermint flames will be multiplied by multi-shot effects such as Mutant Spider or Conjoined.
• Although somewhat ironic, Peppermint flames will convert certain flammable enemies they come in contact with, such as turning Clotties into a Grilled Clotties.
  • Clotties won't be converted if it's in a wet room, such as those found in the Flooded Caves or a room flooded by Flush!.

Interactions

• Second Hand: Doubles the duration of the slowness applied to enemies when the flames deal damage to 4 seconds, and increases by an additional 2 seconds for every additional Trinket Multiplier.

Trivia

• Peppermint's costume appearance is a reference to the "Cold Face" or "Freezing Face" emojis, specifically the Twemoji version.
• Unlike other vanilla equivalents to this item, this item will cap out at 100% trigger chance, compared to Bird's Eye, which caps at 50%.
