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.
• 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 (at 11 luck), compared to Bird's Eye, which caps at 50%.
