The following information contains spoilers regarding the true ending of the game. Discretion is advised.

The Secret Potion of ??? This is a special upgrade that can only be obtained and used while fighting the Collector. It drops when he is attacked while drinking his potion for the 4th time. When picked up, it refills all the player's Health Flask charges.

When consumed, the player's attacks inflict 4x damage and the internal damage cap to bosses is removed. This allows the Collector to be defeated in very few hits and is the only way to finish the fight. Other than that, it functions identically to a Health Flask charge.

Notes

• The Health Flask is the first item that must be unlocked at the Collector in order to begin unlocking other equipment and upgrades.
• Multiple Mutations found within the game change the properties of the Health Flask in some way. Extended Healing, for example, extends the duration of the regeneration effect given by the Health Flask to 15 seconds, while healing 85% of your health instead of 60%, and also providing the player with a damage buff during this time.
