Compost is an activated relic which causes all nearby pickups, such as shillings and heart containers, to turn into fungal familiars which deal damage to nearby enemies when used.

This relic is part of an achievement category, which requires the player to slay certain minibosses for the first time in their save file.

As of update v1.10, this relic has gained a recharge time statistic which allows it to be consumed again after filling its required charge amount.

Interactions

• The Highlander Horn relic will boost the attack damage of the fungal familiars to 12 damage per second. Additionally the fungal familiar's movement speed will be increased by 40% for the current wave.
• The Torn Bag relic will allow the player to quickly spawn potentially stronger pickups and consumables to use for this relic's effects whenever they take damage.
• The Midas Touch relic will help quickly spawn a few pickups whenever the player takes damage, to use for this relic's effects.
• The Charged Coin relic will allow the player to potentially recharge this relic quickly in the same wave when picking up a shilling.

Additional Notes

• If the player manages to kill a fungal familiar before it expires, they will still be able to proc on-death effects from various spells or relics in their spell slots.
