Each will point to a new secret room with unopened chests, even if a previous secret room has been found and looted. Multiple Compasses can be obtained in the same run. Once you leave the secret room, Calypso's Compass disappears, even if you did not open the chests! The secret room will contain 2 chests, which are usually Blueprints or Stats Up.

In the Lament of Zors mod, instead of the basegame effect, it doubles your damage taken but gold gain is doubled. If Death Defy triggers then the dropped coins will be still inside the player when they are revived, and thus will be picked up immediately. Gold is removed on the killing blow to a player. Other than this, there is no known use of this item. The only exception is the additional Bounty added by New Game +2 and above, thus allowing the curse to be used to farm gold in those modes. The amount of gold deducted is adjusted based on the current Bounty bonus, making it impossible to use the curse to gain money. A total of 50 coins are scattered, equivalent to the value of one diamond (500 gold with no Bounty bonus), and a corresponding amount of gold is removed from your total.

They are placed in the slot adjacent to the spell slot, and are either lost upon death or destroyed after one use. Special items are items received after praying at a Spiritual Shrine. Using the Shrine causes it to become greyed out and unusable for a second time, however if a player comes across and prays at another Shrine in the same Castle layout, their current item will be removed and replaced with a new random item. Items given and their effects can be found on the special items page, and are only temporary they are not used by other children. The Shrine is a statue that will give you the option to pray for assistance, which nets the player a random item that is placed in the empty slot next to the spell slot. Using the shrine more than once will replace the item you have.
