Epic Fetus

{{:{{{1}}} | {{{1}}} | {{{2}}} }}

**Epic Fetus** is a Special unlockable passive item.

## Effects

* Isaac's tears are replaced with guided missiles, like those used by the Doctor's Remote.
	+ Missiles deal 20 times Isaac's damage.

## Notes

* Missiles benefit from most bomb-enhancing effects.
* Epic Fetus overrides most items in the game and has the highest priority of all of them, over Brimstone and Mom's Knife.
* On PC, using the mouse and keyboard when obtaining this item can be helpful due to the ability to precisely target a specific area in the room, avoiding the sensitivity of a joystick or the limited directions of the arrow keys.

## Synergies

* File:DLC Indicator.png The Wiz: Isaac fires out crosshairs with a tilt to the right. The crosshair will continue to travel in that direction only unless the player moves it in any other direction. Upon detonation, two bombs drop in turn instead of one, similiar to 20/20.
* File:DLC Indicator.png 20/20: Makes two missiles drop one after the other.
* Bob's Curse: Grants each missile the poison effect.
* Butt Bombs: Each missile explosion applies the Butt Bombs effect.
* File:DLC Indicator.png Monstro's Lung: Adds 2 to 4 more crosshairs that orbit the main crosshair and fires a missile onto each crosshair.
	+ File:Afterbirth† Indicator.png As of current version this synergy is bugged and only a single missile fires.

## Trivia

* In the original game it was possible to control the crosshair with the mouse. This was removed in Rebirth.
	+ Mouse control can however be re-enabled by editing the `options.ini` file in `C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth/Rebirth` and changing the line `MouseControl=0` into `MouseControl=1`. Also useful for The Ludovico Technique.
* This item is used in Challenge #11 (Glass Cannon).
