Overview

Gamer Goggles is a damage-scaling item that shines when you’re on the brink: as your health drops, your damage ramps up. If you’re cataloging or comparing items, browse the full Megabonk Item Database for context and counters.

How to Unlock

  1. Fight any Stage Boss down to low HP.
  2. Ensure your own HP is kept above zero but below 10% at the moment you deliver the finishing blow.

Tip: Higher maximum HP gives you a wider safety buffer for the 10% threshold.

Strategy & Build Hooks

Because damage scales at low health, prioritize survivability tools that help you hover safely at low HP, and finishing power to close boss fights without healing above the threshold.

Corrupted Sword weapon icon
Pair with Corrupted Sword for aggressive, close-range finishes when you’re already committed to risky play.
Cursed Tome icon
Cursed Tome can complement glass-cannon paths; use with caution to avoid dying before the payoff.
