How do I get sacred heart?

[kylebkenyon]

I know its in angel rooms, but any suggestions? its my last item left!

As long as you have the expac, it will be unlocked. Really, the only way, except for cheating, is farming angel rooms. Keep in mind that curse rooms share the devil/angel room pools, so there's another opportunity.

to get angel rooms.. go into devil rooms and leave without taking an item.. this increases angel room spawn % .. also have Isaac and d6 to reroll angel rooms.. if you have nuns habit bomb yourself more d6 charges

[Grok]

you get it randomly in angle rooms i only got it once :)

The only way is you to prey for angels room to appear, no other "specific" way besides cheating, and cheating isn't fun.

There are few things you can try:
1. Increasing chance of Devil/Angel room spawning
Book of Belial(25%)/Book of Revelation(35%) will help in a great way to get the Devil or Angel room to spawn.

Avoid damage. This will increase chance of Devil/Angel room spawn even more. (Not sure if it's related to the whole floor or just boss fight)

(Using Judas for forementioned might help a lot, since he can clear rooms really fast which helps avoind the damage, while having Book of Belial as starting item)

Blowing up Beggars/Devil Beggars. It also increases spawn of Angel/Devil room.
2. Hunting Curse rooms
Spawn of Curse rooms is utterly random. Yet they share same pool as Angel/Devil room, depending on which one is generated on the current floor. Therefore rerolling Devil room item in Curse room won't help you.

Spawning Beggars (via Judgement card) in either Angel room or Curse room, will force him to give you item from that room's pool. (I'm not sure about this, but I think that if you break slot machine/blood donation machine/fortune telling machine in Curse/Angel room and reroll it with dice, it should also spawn item from that item pool.)

3. Few general strategies
You should avoid making any deal with Devil, since it will ruin any chance of Angel room spawning. (Picking up Devil room item spawned either in Curse room or dropped by beggar while in Devil room however doesn't count.)

You can't actually force any item to spawn, but you can shrink the item pool (e.g. picking up any usable special item, using it and rerolling it afterwards and picking up another item).

If you discover that your Curse room has Angel room pool, try using it to your advantage (e.g. by spawning beggar, you can actually have 2 Angel room items at once and reroll both of them if you've got D6)

Generally, you want to use either Judas (to get increased chance of Devil room spawning) or maybe even more likely Isaac (thanks to the D6, which especially when combined with Habit/Battery/9Volt can help you to shrink the pool greatly and actually get you closer to get the Sacred Heart).



Yes, I know this sucks, but I hope it helps, it's pretty difficult to get something specific and rare in randomly generated game. I also hope I didn't say anything that is not accurate, it's damn long wall of text.

Haha, more than 3 years later.....but thanks ;-) I seem to have found 197 items, if I'm not mistaken the Sacred Heart is missing -- for Platinum God. No luck so far.
