In Celebration of Violence – Mementos and Sub-Equipment

First off, this list is by no means complete and/or totally accurate. It's based on my own (and other players, should they care to contribute) observations. Feel free to make corrections or help fill in the blanks and I'll update this with the new info. =)

Awesome, Rhawkas. This is great :D

I'll give you one: Half a Shield. All weapons have a hidden cleave stat that adjusts the damage and power falloff after each enemy hit. For example, blunt weapons deal significantly less damage after passing through the first enemy while axes can effectively cleave through multiple enemies. Half a Shield improves the cleave stat and can even cause some attacks to increase in damage and power after hitting an enemy. If you're crafty you can utilize that to break through rocks using a weapon that would otherwise be too weak.

[The Potatolord]

Training Dummy increases aggressiveness when you land a hit, and lowers it when you miss.
You missed stomping boots. They push all enemies away from you when hit. Has a cooldown.

[Nerava]

Suppose I'll toss a pair your way, since they're quite similar.
Duelling hilt gives a damage boost when you successfully parry an attack.
Dancing shoes give that same boost when you successfully dodge an attack.

Probably give some more info later, don't really want to flood this comment. (Also, I'm kinda fond of blind playthroughs.)

Although I will semi-cryptically hint to watch your footing.

Yeah, there are a lot of items to find (much less figure out what they do XD ), so I'm sure a bunch are still missing. XD Thanks for contributing. =)

[Nerava]

How about...
Egg: Revives you when you die, can't recall any other specifics.
Lightning wand: Can cause lightning to strike when you cast spells. (Outdoors only, lightning underground isn't a thing.)

[DarthSimp]

There's also the Heavy Ball, which materializes a ball that circles around your character, it hits objects and creature and sometimes stuns the smaller ones (like rats or small blood puddings)

The Bloodshot Eye as well, but I have no clue what it does!

[DarthSimp]

Fang of the beast: it restore part of your life for every hit you do, as long as that part is still yellow (so only if you've just recieved damage)

Crystal: Sometimes (?) it completely resets the spell cooldown allowing you to cast two consecutive spells.

[The Potatolord]

A memento introduced in latest update, (0.7) Oar
increases speed in water, pretty sure.

[Sheesh]

Can confirm that. Having 2, It made me actually faster in deep water than on land.
Flavour text: Why even get in the water without one?

[Stevepunk]

Mementos
Ghost Blade: A second weapon that is swung slightly after the first
(two attacks for the price of one) (it is shown as a semi-transparent second weapon in your hand)
(not sure if it has a chance to be any weapon but my mh is flamberge and oh is bow while gb is a cleaver)
Bloody Shield: (procs when taking damage and seems to nullify that damage tick)
Sacred Breastplate: ???
Bone Saw: ???
Notice of Bank Error: (procs when making an xp purchase - seems to refund/nullify the cost)
Frozen Chain: 50xp, ???


Sub-Equipment
Frozen Crown: Leaves a trail of ice on the ground that chills/slows enemies.
Belt of Strength: ??? (it didn't increase my Str% stat)(maybe knocks enemies back more?)

[Nerava]

Pretty sure those three are
Sacred Breastplate allows overhealing into armor,
Bone saw is higher crit chance at lower health,
Belt of strength allows you to hold attacks, similar to bows.

[redlid]

Doesn't the notice of bank error make you get the same experience instead of paying it, not just nullify it? (very rarely though)
Maybe we should post this on the comments of the guide too...

[Nerava]

Notice of bank error seems to reduce price at random, from what I've seen.

[Stevepunk]

Golden Lock: Chests (wood/steel) no longer contain any items whatsoever but instead contain 1 mouse/rat.

Is this a bug?

[EDIT: after 4/5 chests with only 1 rat each the next one had 6 keys, 2 healing meat and 1 surge]
[Unfortunately 3 of the ones containing nothing were golden chests so I got ripped there]

[Nerava]

It's a double or nothing gamble probably, like the horseshoe.
