Gold Chicken Eggs Deal Powerful Damage

The Gold Chicken Egg treasure/recovery item can also be used as a weapon/to deal damage against enemies. For example, 2 Gold Chicken Eggs are capable of totally depleting the health of the Salazar boss (1 Gold Chicken Egg to bring him to 2nd phase and another 1 to complete finish him off entirely).

However, the Gold Chicken Egg does not work on all enemies. For example, when thrown at an El Gigante or Armored Gigante, the Gold Chicken Egg won't deal massive damage.

Chicken Eggs Can Deal Minimal Damage

Brown Chicken Egg

To a lesser extent, Chicken Eggs also deal damage when thrown at enemies and bosses, but the damage dealt is very minimal, so it's best still used as a recovery item.
