- Lament Configurum is sold for the price of an item in shops even though it is a item.

- Using this item 20 times unlocks the Bloody 9mm.
- Lament Configurum is a good way of obtaining multiple high quality items and weapons in a run.

- There is an unused variable in the Lament Configurum's code called 'ChanceToEyeball', permanently set to 0.001. It is unclear what 'Eyeball' was originally supposed to do, beyond being extremely rare.
- It is possible that the Lament Configurum was originally supposed to take the player to the secret Eyeball Room that the Teleporter Prototype has a small chance to grant access to.
