Effigy of Grief Risk of Rain 2: What Does it Do?
By Nathan Fusco

Effigy of Grief Risk of Rain 2 is one of the more unique items in the Risk of Rain franchise, and it was brought back for the second installment in the series. It's a double-edged sword that can affect players with the debuff, but once out of the bubble, you are free from the debuff.
And it's not too difficult to acquire.

Effigy of Grief Risk of Rain 2: What Does it Do?
This is the description of Effigy of Grief in Risk of Rain 2, "Drop an effigy that cripples ALL characters inside. Can be picked back up."
This is the actual effect.
"ALL characters within are slowed by 50% and has their armor reduced by 20."
The "all" is emphasized since the actual player or any teammates can be affected by the debuff, so you need to be careful with using the item.
