The Middle Hand
Flavor text	"The middle-hand path reaps dire rewards"
Unlocked By	Make a Dire Chest or Make The Middle Hand

The Middle Hand is a trinket added in The Reheated Update.

Effects

• 50% chance for any Chest or Locked Chest to be replaced with a Dire Chest.
  • Other chest types are unaffected.
  • Chests that have already been seen prior to picking up The Middle Hand will not be transformed.

Making The Middle Hand

Fiend Folio adds a secret method to create The Middle Hand. By dropping the The Left Hand and The Right Hand in the same room, they will begin to gravitate together and combine into The Middle Hand, destroying themselves in the process. Doing so will unlock the Dire Chest, allowing both it and The Middle Hand to appear in runs.

• Another way to create The Middle Hand is to hold both trinkets at the same time through Mom's Purse, Belly Button or through smelting one or both of them, which will destroy both trinkets and create The Middle Hand.
• The Left Fossil can also be substituted for The Left Hand.

Alternatively, using a secret method to create Dire Chest without The Middle Hand will also unlock them.

Interactions

• Trinket Multipliers: Chance to replace chests is increased to 100% with a multiplier of 2. Additional trinket multipliers will have no further effect.
• The Left Hand / The Left Fossil: Overrides The Middle Hand.
• The Right Hand: Chests can become either Dire Chests or Eternal Chests.
  • The Right Hand + Trinket Multipliers: If The Middle Hand's multiplier is 2, then it will override The Right Hand's ability to replace chests, regardless of The Right Hand's multiplier. On the other hand, if only The Right Hand has a multiplier of 2 (through being a Golden Trinket, or by having a copy of the trinket), then Dire Chests will still be able to replace chests, due to The Right Hand being capped at only a 50% chance to replace chests.
• Azurite Spindown: Using Azurite Spindown on The Middle Hand rerolls it into Grabber's Enemy.
