Chaos Die
The Chaos Die is a rare inventory Item appearing as a large die with one its faces visible. It can be thrown or hit for a variety of - mostly violent - outcomes.
It can only spawn in a run after defeating the Ylialkemisti mini-boss at least once. After being unlocked, it has a 1.1% chance to appear on Pedestals, and a 0.75% chance to appear in Chests.
Usage
When impacted by kicks, projectiles, or striking solid terrain with enough force, the Chaos Die will begin to roll, as shown by its face rapidly switching between sprites.
The die's outcome can be considered as casting two dice - one with 6 sides, the other with 100. The former works as expected, giving the result of its respective number when rolled. The latter works by activating one of its rare outcomes when it rolls a 100, and then seeing if the former die's result is in the larger or smaller side to give a chest or frown outcome respectively.
On the occasion, the outcomes of the Chaos Die can cause it to recursively roll a second time, usually due to an explosive effect causing the die to jump or move and then impact terrain or one of its own projectiles. This recursion can theoretically happen an infinite number of times, but generally does not exceed 2-3 recursions.
Notification text will appear in the bottom left corner dependent on the outcome:
