So, golden horse shoe, anyone figured it yet? xD

[Fennec Fawx]

I'm still stumped on this, what does this trinket do? My last run, I had it drop early so I carried all the way to the end but I noticed bluedy nothing, if it's to do with arcades, I didn't notice any of my luck changing.
Does anyone know what this trinket does? Thank you :3

I'm going to take a guess at it as even the wikis don't have a description of what it does.

My guess is that, going on an edmund-esque philosophy, the trinket is a critique on superstition, and the trinket in fact does absolutely nothing, just like a regular "lucky" horseshoe does nothing.

But I reserve the right to be totally and completely wrong about that :D

I had never thought of this, but it makes sense. I cant say ive noticed any differences while holding it, so your theory that its some sort of isaac placebo could well be right

Has the exact same effect as Pendant on Dark Souls

Increases the drop rate of Golden Consumables. (Gold Hearts, Keys, Bombs)

At least that's what I heard.

Haven't heard anyone say that before, but it makes sense now. I'd be absolutely thrilled if this were true.

This is my favorite Binding of Isaac theory I've seen yet, and it's pretty likely true too. I doubt we will EVER know for sure, but that's the whole point isn't it? Kudos to you for thinking of this!

I keep getting it and I don't know what it does. I'm pretty sure it changes your Luck somehow, but I'm not sure what it actually does. Maybe it improves chances of golden chests?

[Icedfate]

just saying, I'm pretty sure there are no items in this game that do "absolutely nothing". there are many "useless" items but they all have an effect. this horseshoe must have some sort of effect, even if I don't know what it does either.

[Charlie Murder]

well its gold so it might have somthing to do with gold so my theorys are that 1# you get more gold chests 2# it makes gold poops have a higher chance to spawn 3# or gives you more coins from gold poop or both 2 and 3

it does something, it occupies the trinket slot and can be rolled with D20.

As someone who loves souls games, I gotta say I love your theory, I dont want it to be true mind you xD But I love it! I'll keep picking it up like an idiot though till I found something ^-^ Thank you for the theory
