=== Food ===
Food regenerates a fixed percentage of health when eaten (or twice as much if the Gastronomy mutation is active). There are 2 different functional types of food, each with 7 different appearances depending on the selected diet, which is altered by game settings. If untouched by the player, it will be chosen as "Carnivore." Both types of food can add [[Malaise]] on Nightmare and Hell [[Boss Stem Cell|difficulties]] if the piece of food is infected. The amount of malaise given depends on if the food is major or minor. Minor food gives 50 points (1 bar) and major food gives 150 points (3 bars) of malaise.

There will always be 2 clean pieces of food in any one biome, with one dropping from an enemy and another found in a wall rune. Any other drops, including those from lore rooms, will always be infected with [[Malaise]] on 4+ BSC.

Revision as of 09:31, 1 April 2021

Pickups are items which are not gear, or runes. Pickups can be collected with the Interact command while the player is close or, in the case of gems, just by walking on top of them.

All main categories of pickups are:

  • Healing pickups that restore the player's health or reduce Malaise.
  • Scrolls to upgrade player stats.
  • Currency pickups, which award varying amounts of cells or gold.
  • Special pickups serving miscellaneous functions.
  • Keys, which let the player unlock doors.

Healing pickups

Food

Food regenerates a fixed percentage of health when eaten (or twice as much if the Gastronomy mutation is active). There are 2 different functional types of food, each with 7 different appearances depending on the selected diet, which is altered by game settings. If untouched by the player, it will be chosen as "Carnivore." Both types of food can add Malaise on Hell difficulty if the piece of food is infected. The amount of malaise given depends on if the food is major or minor. Minor food gives 50 points (1 bar) and major food gives 150 points (3 bars) of malaise. There will always be 2 clean pieces of food in any one biome, with one dropping from an enemy and another found in a wall rune. Any other drops, including those from lore rooms, will always be infected with Malaise on 4+ BSC.

Minor foods

Minor foods restore 15% of the player's maximum health (30% if Gastronomy Mutation IconGastronomy is active). They're dropped from enemies, wall and floor runes, and can be purchased from food shops with 0-3BSC active (with 4BSC+, food shops will sell a cough syrup instead).

Currency pickups

Gold centered

Gold is the main currency used for making purchases and weapon upgrades throughout runs. All enemies will drop small amounts of gold when killed that appears as tiny, bright pebbles that automatically fly towards the player to be collected.

Gems

Gems give a significant amount of gold when collected. Each one awards a different amount of gold depending on its type.

Cells

centered

Cells are a special currency that is used primarily for unlocking items and upgrades. They are often dropped from slain enemies and bosses, or found in chests and canisters in biomes. Cells are lost upon death.

Cells can be spent in two ways; unlocking items and upgrades from The Collector, or by increasing the chance for higher quality gear to appear in runs from The Blacksmith.

A rare pickup that produces one extra cell on every kill for 45 seconds, even if an enemy normally can't drop any (Myopic CrowsFF, etc). The drop chance is 0.3%. The extra cells are gold instead of blue.

Residual cells

Residual Cells

A bag that spawns next to the Dead Man's Bag if you defeated the Hand of the King. It contains any cells possessed upon reaching the Throne Room, as well as the 40 cells dropped by the Hand of the King. If not picked up, or if the run is reset, the cells will be lost.

Other pickups

Keys

Unlike most pickups, keys are not used when they are picked up. Instead, they are added to the player's inventory, so they can be used later to open their respective doors. Keys remain in the player's inventory for the rest of the run if not used on the appropriate door and unused keys disappear upon death or at the end of a successful run.

The keys stop spawning if the respective Blueprints they are guarding have been obtained and turned in to the Collector.
