How exactly is this item underrated? It is literally just a poor man's version of dad's key. I will admit it's more interesting but it isn't really all that useful. The fact that enemies can drop some pickups is a nice feature but I generally wouldn't rely on it to get myself some money as that key already cost me 15c. There's nothing about it that's really stands out.
I never took this item before because I just thought it made the keys offensive like bombs, but finally it can have so many uses, that I find it really interesting
To be fair, it's also a bulk discount on keys even if you switch back to your previous activated item immediately. Remote Detonator can also be used this. Special mention if you're Isaac, as you can then reroll the now-pedestal and get whatever item you would have rerolled it into for free.

This is my go-to item to skip the alt floors on Mother runs since Im not fond of many enemies there, what I will never understand is why this item can open the Corpse door but Mom's Knife cannot, considering the actual item to open it is... a KNIFE (Plus in Antibirth Mom's Knife worked). Great video! I didn't know a ton of the other things it does :D
Initially: "oh. seems like a neat little starter item. little spendy if you spam it, but useful in a pinch I suppose." Afterwards: KEY YEETER KEY YEETER KEY YEETER KEY YEETER
This item is much better than I thought it was. A strong, piercing projectile that also opens doors and gives you 5 keys for the price of 3 was a good item in my eyes. Now you are telling me I can synergize it left hand to fish for red chest drops or rusted key for more ammo? Nuts!
It was probably a seed considering how much effort Syncer puts into these vids. I'm guessing they actually found a seed where one spawns and then used it.
It was only until today, hours prior to the video, that I checked the wiki page and see that it can make enemies spawn chest contents on death. I really, REALLY want to have a run with this now. But judging from all the info, interactions and synergies on the wiki(especially with trinkets!), I'll say in good faith that this is good. 8/10.
@@amanwithnoplan7648 for me its mostly the fact that this item bypasses tons of other story related items and all you need to do is find it in a shop. psy fly is getting a nerf soon anways
@@PieBathBob ah yes we could fix things that are un-fun like T. Lazarus/Jacob and make the player experience better or we could nerf fun items that people love because fuck you 🤪
@@yasscraftx21._. while T. Jacob is mostly downside after downside and no strengths whatsoever, he def has some points over Laz, mostly that you can use Esau to attack enemies and you get one free devil deal if you want it, apart from that he's really bad, but if you like him happy for you tbh, in a non sarcastic way I really mean it
I've seen this item so many times in the shop, but didn't take it, thinking it was a mix of Sharp Plug and a single key, but it's WAY better. This is why I love the community so much.
Sharp Key also synergies with Poker Chip! It can cause more consumables to drop on a success or cause a puff of smoke to appear or even spawn an attack fly.
Why don't more people take this item? You can open most doors, including that big golden one that you would normally need to beat the angels to get open.
Not being able to open coin doors seems like a major oversight to me. Still, this is one of those sleeper hit items that has been fantastic since Antibirth.
I thought that this item was garbage because the first time I used it, I only use it to deal damage to bosses, now I think that this item is so freaking useful
Does this item have an interaction with the "bombs are key" pill? I could've sworn the Antibirth "update" teaser showed something like that (before Rep was announced for clarification) where thrown keys turned into bombs
I have a short history with sharp key. on my first repentance run, 0 percent save file, I found the sharp key. I thought: wow, a repentance item out the gate! let's pick it up. I tried to use it, but had no keys. I kept trying and when I got a key, I fired it in a room with no enemies. I had lost the key, and I thought to myself again, "wow, this item is shit!" and restarted. if only I knew...
I had nearly the opposite experience of everyone else, i thought "neat it shoots a key that hurts enemies and probably unlocks things, the charge seems a bit quick though..." and then it stopped working, and I noticed my keys. Not the best first impression...
In my lasted game I disscubred a "error" or "bug", I dont know if this was in TBOI Anthibirth +, When I use the eden's soul whit the butter equiped it's broken, is eden's soul infinito, sorry for my dumb inglish, haha, chek this pls
bruh this item is mad underrated
I agree, but not being able to use a golden key with I'd is a scam and a half
@@YaBoiSneedMan but can you imagine what would happen if it worked with a golden key. It would be Rapid Bombs + Golden Bomb but better
Hahahaha I only picked it up if I need keys, 15 gold for 5 keys was a bargain for me. I didn't had the slightest that it was actually that busted

There’s so much quality in each one compared to other channels
very true

I buy these items just for the extra keys/bombs
Dad's key: Who the hell are you?
Sharp key: *I'm you but better*
what if you have no keys/ opening boss traps
@@paulakroy2635 it gives you 5 already making it worth it
well dad's key is better, uses no keys, only 2 charges, opens anything!
If you have a bunch of keys it's basically a direct upgrade
Dislike.
I never expected it to open enemies like chests. This is a clever item in my opinion. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
*The item* : "Sharp Key"
*Both of the crafting recipes* : NO KEYS REQUIRED

cool

If anyone wonders about the damage multiplier of the sharp Key is your tear damage*5+30
Get this with ipecac poly or proptosis and you've won
@@alfresco1552 i think ipecac no longer gives you 43 damage (in stat) the 43 damage up has been moved to the explosion

Someone tell Hutts that this item gives you five keys and allows you to open a bunch of important doors so he won't think it's useless anymore

If you need keys this item is worth picking up for the 5 alone. Normally five keys would be 25 coins but it is discounted to 15 since this is a item
Only youtube to use of recipes for an item with cains bag ty sir
I've seen this item so many times in the shop, but didn't take it, thinking it was a mix of Sharp Plug and a single key, but it's WAY better. This is why I love the community so much.
Is nobody going to point out the perfect golden key drop for the showcase?
Sharp Key also synergies with Poker Chip! It can cause more consumables to drop on a success or cause a puff of smoke to appear or even spawn an attack fly.
This is the biggest middle finger to required items for alternative endings (knife/key/polaroid/negative) there can be)
I literally knew nothing about what this item did holy shit this thing is a massive run enabler
i used to think this was just one of *those* items that you pick up and never use it, but honestly its pretty good
Your doing such a great job man keep it up
I didn't know it was so good. Now I like it
Wow I never knew this item was this good
I got this and skeleton key on an Azazel run. Was pretty pog.
Friendship ended with Dad's Key, now Sharp Key is my best friend
I love that sharp key can open the flesh door and even the mega Satan door, but it draws the line at fucking coin doors
They can open the Mom's Heart battle and the Mega Satan door
But a mega chest is just TOO MUCH
Pop and rubber cement can open the entirety of an eternal chest with one key
1:11 now THIS is broken
1:25 and this is even more
Is it affected by Guppy's Tail or Mom's Key? I know you said that chest items affect it but I wasn't sure about those two.
I didnt know it could open all those doors, now I might actually keep it with me instead of buying it just for keys
Actually this item is useful
Wow
Ikr i never ever take this item but seeing what it can do now makes me reconsider
Dang. This is way better then I thought.
I can keep the negative.
Really useful to skip challenge rooms if you are low
1:09 WHAT
Are you telling me I've been sleeping on this item for the longest time?
Same reaction
no matter what happens when you make a showcase video of something in a rouge-like, a convenience will always happen.
Sharp key is so BROKEN I am going to like the video so I remember the crafting recipe
Dad's key but for when you have keys
So rotten head + Dads key = Sharp key
I didnt even know that this item is so good
Why don't more people take this item? You can open most doors, including that big golden one that you would normally need to beat the angels to get open.
Sharp Key... An unexpected Good Item
Finally, I can yeet my item room openers to kill enemies in the process.
Is anyone gonna talk about how insanely lucky he was even he walked into the first room and it dropped a golden key exactly when he needed it?
So, you're telling me one of the game's most overlooked objects, especially by streamers is one of the best objects?
What the.. I didn't know it did this much
Ah, sharp key.
Many a tainteds without the pictures ye've provided.
Well, I though sharp key has purpose only to give 5 keys... Now I changed opinion about this item by this video, thanks!
"Doesn't benefit from Golden Keys."
M-...m-money back...become...
EDMUND YOU HAVE SEVERAL FUCKING JOBS AND DO *NONE* OF THEM.
This item deserve it own challenge
I like this channel
Мне нравится этот канал 👍
Not being able to open coin doors seems like a major oversight to me. Still, this is one of those sleeper hit items that has been fantastic since Antibirth.
if the guppy's eye synergy gets fixed it'll be so busted
It's a pretty underrated item but it's almost impossible to get chest drops from enemies in normal circumstances.
SHARP KEY
Keys are Bombs!
very helpful
Didn't know it could do more, goddamn
Surprised and disappointed that the crafting recipe doesn't include keys
I realized this is actually a useful item-
This item went from never take to ALWAYS TAKE when going for post-it note completion
I underestimated this item. It's fucking amazing.
Kinda disappointed no crafting recipes actually have a key… then again I guess you do need keys to use it
Should mention the continuum synergy
Can you do a vid about Montezuma's Revenge?
Please.
now that item I will always take with me to save myself from killing gods, the fool card, etc.
I thought that this item was garbage because the first time I used it, I only use it to deal damage to bosses, now I think that this item is so freaking useful
This is the item that spins down to genesis??? And you can find it in the SHOP??
I think that the challenge room door is the strongest door in the entire game
wait you can use that to open chest and doors? as well as get random chest drops?
Does this item have an interaction with the "bombs are key" pill? I could've sworn the Antibirth "update" teaser showed something like that (before Rep was announced for clarification) where thrown keys turned into bombs
With this item you can do mother without the knife,so usefull
Dad's key 2 just drop boys
0:40 Was SO satisfying
It can open all fucking doors, woooow
Basically just better dad's key
Wake up honey syncer uploaded a new video
I feel like the golden key should make it infinite for the floor and there should be some synergy that lets it open red rooms

This item is literally a tear item because you can spawn it in the tears section in the debug menu.
Didn't know the item was THAT good
Fun fact: no one knew what this item did before watching this video
Letz be real you only pick this up for the free keys
nope
Not anymore
I had nearly the opposite experience of everyone else, i thought "neat it shoots a key that hurts enemies and probably unlocks things, the charge seems a bit quick though..." and then it stopped working, and I noticed my keys. Not the best first impression...
You can argue with people if this weapon is good or not, but they've always got a point.
Ok, that's pretty op
Too late, already done the lost Mega sstan run yesterday. If only i knew this sooner...
OMG THAT'S OP
The formula for damage (maybe)
(5×isaak's dmg)+30 =key dmg
Exactly the formula is your tear damage *5+30 at base damage is 47,5 so...
In my lasted game I disscubred a "error" or "bug", I dont know if this was in TBOI Anthibirth +, When I use the eden's soul whit the butter equiped it's broken, is eden's soul infinito, sorry for my dumb inglish, haha, chek this pls
