Q1summonableoffensive

Intro

The Ludovico Technique is a passive item.

Description

  • ↑ [Shotspeed] +0.2 Shot speed
  • Replaces Isaac's tears with one giant controllable tear

Trivia

  • The Ludovico Technique is a reference to Anthony Burgess' novel A Clockwork Orange and Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation, where it was referred to as "Ludovico's Technique." The technique involved headgear which forced the patient's eyelids open (hence "Controlled Tears") while watching violent films under nausea-inducing drugs, conditioning them against violence.

Bugs

Bug! Mom's Knife + Technology: Creates an uncontrollable laser ring centered on Isaac. The knife becomes stuck under Isaac and cannot be fired. Bug! Inside any crawlspace, including the Rotgut fight or the Beast and Ultra Harbingers fight, the tear generated by Ludovico Technique will disappear and reappear on top of Isaac occasionally. Bug! At exactly 30.00 fire rate, the tear can only tick once on an enemy, potentially causing softlock due to lack of dps. Bug! If Isaac is holding fire and has Technology 2 while pulling out Urn of Souls, another Technology 2 laser is created in the direction being fired that persists until the urn is put away or the room is left.
