Forgotten

[Navenbox]

I am so salty right now i just got a perfect run with azel and when i saw the grave which the forgotten is supposed to be in, i tried to use my shovel (pressing space) but nothing happend. Why didnt work?

[Desticler]

You have to be standing on the grave. Did you do that?

[Nazemec]

Also, to be sure, keep in mind the famous...

List of things that prevent all kind of progress:
- Seeds (except a few special ones)
- Challenges (except for their reward obviously).
- Daily Runs.
- Reruns and Victory Laps.
- Any active mod from the mod menu until the Womb/Utero 2 floor boss is killed once (no matter what they do).
- Paranoid antivirus programs preventing the game from creating/editing its save file.

You did do all the stuff you need to unlock the Forgotten, right? That grave always shows up but you can only open it if you do all the other stuff first (kill the first boss within a minute etc.).

Ok, just making sure.
Unfortunately I have no idea why it didn't work then. Do you use any mods that somehow could screw things up?

Edit: And of course the things Naz said above: No seeds, not reruns etc.

The Lamb must have been defeated previously before The Forgotten can be unlocked, and unlocking The Forgotten can be done in both Normal and Hard difficulty.

First, start a new run. Defeat the boss of the first floor within the first minute. If done correctly, Mom's voice will yell, you will hear the sound of running footsteps, and the large shadow of a shovel handle will appear on the floor of the starting room. Bombing anywhere in the starting room will cause the shadow to disappear, and spawn the Broken Shovel Broken Shovel.

Holding the Broken Shovel will cause Mom's feet to continually try to stomp you. Using the Broken Shovel will stop the stomping for the current room or for the current wave of a multi-wave room, such as the Boss Rush.

The stomp attacks won't happen in the Mom fight.

The stomp attacks count as explosions, so Pyromaniac Pyromaniac or Host Hat Host Hat makes the player immune to them.

On XL floors, both bosses must be defeated within one minute. Although this is possible, it is difficult, and it is recommended to simply restart.

Once you pick up the Broken Shovel, you must not trade it for another active item. If you leave it in a room and try to come back for it, it will disappear.

This cannot be done during a seeded run; it must be random. Mom's Voice will not trigger and you will not be able to bomb for the shovel.

Next, clear Boss Rush. This will grant the second piece of the Broken Shovel Broken Shovel, completing Mom's Shovel Mom's Shovel.

After clearing Mom, only The Negative will spawn.

The normal requirement for getting to Boss Rush within 20 minutes does not apply, as the hole to go to The Womb after clearing Mom will be sealed until Boss Rush has been completed.

After Mom's Shovel has been acquired, Mom's feet will stop attempting to stomp you, and Mom's Shovel can be used like We Need to Go Deeper! We Need to Go Deeper!

Finally, in the Dark Room, find the empty room with a Dirt Patch in the center, stand on top of the patch and use Mom's Shovel to unlock The Forgotten.

While holding Mom's Shovel, after clearing Mom's Heart, It Lives, or Hush, the beam of light leading to the Cathedral won't spawn, forcing you to jump into the trapdoor leading to Sheol.

If stuck, confused, or frustrated, check the Broken Shovel Broken Shovel page (https://bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.com/Broken_Shovel) for tips and help.

Running a victory lap allows you to obtain the shovel, and plays the animation for unlocking The Forgotten, but does not unlock it.

That is caused by the parentheses you put around the link. Leave a space and it will work.

Other than that I'm pretty sure OP already knows how to unlock the Forgotten, you may want to actually read what he and others posted.

If you didn't wait for the soul to go to the top of the screen, the forgotten won't unlock. That may be what happened.
