THE BASICS: Devil Room
So then, lets get the basics out of the way first. To find a Devil Room you must have not taken red heart damage (soul hearts protect your chance, but black hearts dont) on the entire floor (which guarentes one) or not take any DMG on the boss which gives you a chance. Goat Head and Book of Beiail guarente one and the room will not close if you have one of these items. Bombing Beggars also increase this chance. You can also enter one via Red Chest, Telepills and The Joker card. In the room it is mostly black with little lighting and a single devil statue in the center. (Fun Fact: Bombing the devil statue then leaving will cause the statue to dissapear.) There also will be an offering of items, either one-three with each one costing one or two heart containers. Spending health in here or the Black Market will deny a Angel Room till the end of that run unleess you posses the trinket Bible Tract. The room could also be a bossfight on Krampus or a 3 red chest room. TIPS: Using Credit Card will give you all items for free. You can take an item even if your hearts dont meet the cost requirements, if you have spirit hearts to back you up.
