Birthright: Using Void has a chance to spawn an item previously destroyed by it while keeping the bonus stats.It's also a good idea to touch at least three books if possible before using Void, to get the free Bookworm transformation.

It's much better to take Book of Virtues and gain the passive wisp effect over a minor stat boost. Book of Virtues is treated as a passive item if absorbed by Void.How to Jump causes a sudden movement, which can potentially throw you into an enemy or trap you behind rocks (the latter can be fixed by leaving the run and continuing).Devil deals also cannot be absorbed until they've been paid for. Satanic Bible replaces the boss item with a Devil Deal, which could be bad if low on health.However, taking it is fine as long as you don't forget you have it or aren't fighting him. The Bible will instantly kill you if used while fighting Satan.However, it is not recommended to absorb a few books for the following reasons:.Finding a Library can be very powerful as Apollyon can use Void to gain numerous amounts of active effects from one room.It can also be used on items formerly unidentified due to the Curse of the Blind (Pausing is recommended right after picking up the item to properly check what it is before absorbing it or not).

This allows Apollyon to absorb undesirable devil and shop items, albeit by paying their cost first.

Choice rooms can still be effective for copying active item effects, however.
