Amulets

Amulets are passive equipment items which usually do not have any innate benefits; rather, their utility generally comes from the mods which generate on these items.

Only one amulet can be carried at a time. Attempting to pick up a second amulet will summon a prompt which compares both amulets and asks the player to choose whether to discard their current amulet in order to pick up the new amulet.

Amulets can be sorted into two main categories: generic amulets and unique amulets.

Generic Amulets
"You may only equip one amulet at a time, but their effects are powerful...""'A fine object, adroitly hidden under your clothes to make less work for the artists.'"Generic amulets come in ruby, golden, ice, moonstone and emerald varieties. They always generate with one or two mods which usually add useful passive effects while equipped.

Major Mods
Major mods grant powerful effects when they appear on an amulet. Only one major mod, indicated in green-yellow text, can appear on a given amulet.
 * When you do not attack for 5 seconds, you become invisible.
 * Poison no longer affects you. Sewers, here we come...
 * Poison status effects still occur, but the damage over time is nullified
 * (more coming soon)

Minor Mods
Minor mods, though not as powerful as major mods, still provide useful benefits. When they appear, they are indicated in green text.
 * Damage taken reduced by 10%/15%/30%
 * At most 1 damage reduction mod on an amulet
 * Collect gold and Dead Cells without needing to be in range.
 * Poison enemies that hurt you.
 * Drops a bomb (XX damage) when you roll.
 * (more coming soon)

Unique Amulets
There are two unique amulets, neither of which can possess mods of any kind: the Prisoner's Collar and "Ygdar Orus Li Ox!"

Prisoner's Collar
"'Nothing worth mentioning, except maybe a vague whiff of dead rat...'"The Prisoner's Collar is the amulet that is already equipped at the start of every run. It gives no benefits of any kind and should be replaced with another type of amulet when the player finds one.

"Ygdar Orus Li Ox!"
"'Allows you to cheat death. Once.'"This unique amulet, which appears to be a live heart, will revive the player and freeze nearby enemies for several seconds if the player would otherwise be brought below 0 health by a damage source other than a curse, getting destroyed in the process (insta-kill due to curse effects from enraging the gods or wielding the Cursed Sword will not trigger this amulet's revive feature). It can only be found in certain zones behind gold doors which require a large sum of gold to open without enraging the gods.
