Boss challenge rooms work the exact same as regular challenge rooms but will have you fight waves of bosses instead of standard enemies.

From chapter four onward, challenge rooms will have you fight waves of bosses instead of regular enemies.īoss challenge rooms are identified by a large skull with two swords inside it. After opening at least one chest or picking up the item, you trigger the room to begin facing three waves of enemies before being allowed to leave. Inside the challenge room, you will find either a chest or assortment of chests or sometimes a pedestal item.

In other words, if you have 3 heart containers and only 1 red heart of HP remaining, you must have 2 soul hearts or demon hearts or a combination of the two to be able to enter. To enter a challenge room, your HP using your red, soul, and demon hearts must be equal to the amount of heart containers you have. Inside curse rooms, you can find enemies, red chests, and sometimes pedestal items.Ĭhallenge rooms can be identified by the crossed swords icon shown above the door. In that case, you will only take damage when leaving the room.

You will take damage both when entering and exiting the curse room unless your character is able to fly. You can find an assortment of machines like the slot machine and beggars inside the Arcade.Ĭurse rooms are easily identified as the doorways are filled with teeth. When you find the arcade, you must spend one penny to enter. To get an arcade to spawn, you must enter the floor with at least five coins on hand. In the beginning, the selection of items will be slim, but as you put coins into the donation machine, you will unlock a bigger selection.Īrcades can appear on the second floor of each chapter. Entering a shop will always require a key and inside will be a donation machine, a shopkeeper and an assortment of consumables and passive/active items. Shops, like item rooms, will appear on each floor until you reach chapter four. After the first floor, each item room you find will require a key to enter or can be entered by taking advantage of adjacent Secret Rooms (which will be explained further down). On the first floor, the item room can be entered free of charge where you obtain either a passive or active item to help or hinder you on your journey (not all items are good ones unfortunately). Item Rooms will appear on every floor until you complete the Depths/Necropolis/Dank Depths and can be identified by the golden frame around them.
