Mimic Chest

Disguises itself as a brown chest, then reveals spikes when Isaac gets close.

Value / opening ruleBecomes spiked when approached

How it works

  • After changing, it normally costs half a heart to open and has ordinary Chest rewards.
  • Flat File prevents the conversion into a Spiked Chest.

Before you collect

Approaching it can turn an apparently free chest into a health payment.
