How Does Iron Lung Work?
Iron Lung extends the amount of time Mina can remain burrowed before being forced back to the surface.
The effect also applies underwater, making the Trinket especially useful in routes where longer underwater burrows create more room for exploration, positioning, or reaching distant exits.
Is Iron Lung Worth Using?
Iron Lung is most valuable during exploration rather than pure damage-focused combat. Longer burrow time gives Mina more flexibility when navigating hazards, underwater sections, and routes that reward extended movement below the surface.
It is less important in straightforward combat rooms where burrow duration is not the limiting factor, so it works best as a situational exploration Trinket.
Best Uses for Iron Lung
- Exploring Nox's Bayou and other water-heavy areas.
- Underwater burrow routes.
- Longer traversal sections where surfacing early is inconvenient.
- Completion cleanup and backtracking.
- Players who rely heavily on burrow movement.
