The '''backpack''' (shown in game as a pouch) is a storage slot next to your inventory. Items in the backpack are '''not used in combat''': they don't give stats and their effects don't trigger.

== How it works ==
* Every run starts with 1 backpack slot.
* The Shepherd, found in the Woolcrest Hills, adds a second slot. The Woolcrest Hills can appear on the [[Woodland map]], the [[Swampland map]] and the [[Kingmaker map]].
* You can move items between the backpack and your inventory freely between battles.

== What it's good for ==
* Keeping a Rare or Heroic item from a merchant that you want to use later in the run.
* Taking out an item the next boss counters, and putting it back afterwards.
* Holding ingredients for a [[Cauldron]] or a second copy of an item for a [[Golem]].

== Items that change after a boss ==
Items that upgrade or hatch after you defeat the next boss only do so when they are '''not''' in your pouch. This includes:
* [[Squire's Armor]] and [[Knight's Armor]]
* The eggs ([[Deviled Egg]], [[Granite Egg]], [[Treebark Egg]], [[Wet Egg]])

== Notes ==
* Golden and Diamond items keep their rarity in the backpack when you save and reload (fixed in bugfix 0.8.73).
* [[Arcane Cloak]] used to trigger while in the backpack; this was fixed in bugfix 0.9.45.
