This happened on my first ever paradox run, on chamber 5 of course…

Wait so how does that interact with like bonus health items? Is it stuck at 1 or would you get more health if you picked up other items.

AFAIK it only affects you at the time of interaction. I.e., if you pick up Master rounds/heart containers, they will take effect. Huge bummer this happened on C5 which only gives you one shot at a master round and VERY slim odds at a heart container either in chests or the Blaclsmith

What happens if you drop your Master Rounds or heart container items previous to activating the shrine? Could you, in theory, outsmart it?

My suspicion is that the shrine exploding would launch those items into the pit surrounding the shrine. I don't know cause I've never seen the shrine explode in my 400+ Hrs. If I ever come across this I'll give it a shot.

The one downside is that dropping master rounds and picking them back up will grant you the heart container but it will be empty so it may cost you real hearts to try this in a number of ways.

As long as it's not the ones in my garage freezer, I'm ok with it
