Effects
surge through the echoes of time!

Crushing Hysteria is a Prototype Augment. When obtained, players will be given an additional copy of standard Augments they acquire, but any damage inflicted upon the player will also take away an equal amount of maximum health as well as normal health. Core Augments, Prototypes, Triplicate Spirits, and most once per run Augments will not be affected. This prototype cannot reduce the player's maximum health below 10. Acquiring multiple copies of this prototype will continue to increase the amount of extra augments given with no additional penalty. However, if the player picks up an item and is supposed to be given more than 4 additional copies of that item, there is a chance they will only be given 4 additional copies, rather than the amount they should've received. This only applies to extra copies given by Hysteria prototypes; extra copies given by Triplicate Spirits will not be affected by this interaction.

With Prototype Resonator, players will be given 2 additional copies of standard augments they acquire.

Upon collecting System Restore, the player will no longer lose maximum health upon taking damage, but will not regain any lost max health as a result.

Interactions and Synergies

• The effect stacks additively with Flaring Hysteria, tripling augments received at the cost of having both downsides. If Prototype Resonator is active for both, augments received will be quintupled.
• Health lost from Burn for Glory, Gears of Industry or red vending machines will not take away maximum health when using this prototype.
• When appearing as an offer from shops and the Smuggler due to the effects of Madness Fountain, this prototype costs 2 nuts and 1 Scrapbit respectively.
• Crushing Hysteria will cause the player to receive extra copies of Fatal Fury, despite it being a once per run augment.

Trivia

• Crushing Hysteria is based on the 20XX prototype Hysteria, and has a similar effect.
• Crushing Hysteria appears to be a combination of the removed dual-type Prototypes Hysteria and Debilitating.
