What do i do wrong? Issue related to Cracked key

Hi guys! I have already unlocked the red key. The problem is that in the subsequent runs, even if i drop Trinkets or cards (now, with cards i've seen it should not be working, but with trinkets yes!) in the boss room of the floors before this when i pick dad notes... well, these runes do not transform into the cracked key.

Is there something i do wrong? It's already the third time i do the procedure without getting any result :( Thanks a lot

You need to do it for trinkets, not cards & pills

oh LOL sorry, i meant trinkets>runes, sry got triggered by another game vocabulary.
I have always left dropped on the boss floor but they kept being just trinkets and not cracked key after i started ascending. Idk, i feel like i'm missing something, it cannot be a bug since it has happened for three runs in a row :(

describe exactly what you are doing, it sounds like maybe you misunderstand the mechanic

Drop the trinket in the item room not the boss room.

Boss room should work too.
Even the one with Dad's Note should work.

Mh so. While going down on the level, if it happen that i'm in some way able to put a trinket on the boss room after a fight (e.g. the boss reward is an item that drops a card in the boss room ---> i drop a trinket i have equipped picking up the card) i do it and after i keep going down.

I follow the route to get dad note. I start ascending. When i get to the boss room when i dropped whatever trinket, it is still a trinket lol and i get memed another time.

Idk maybe i'll try to do it in a treasure room next time (??). Also, i am sure i have unlocked the cracked key since one time i found it as item in the shop

Can't drop a trinket by taking a card. Doesn't make sense.

The violet things that act like cards and pills in the lower right corner are called runes.
Trinkets are the things in the lower left corner.

It sounds like you are confusing runes and trinkets. Runes are like Dagaz, Hagalaz perthro etc, trinkets are the pickups stored in lower left corner

Hold the ctrl key to drop trinkets, pills/cards/runes, then pick up any consumables (pills/cards/runes) you had and leave the trinket in the boss room. Trinkets are similar to passive items (they have a distinct shape), but they will always sit on the floor, and are never hovering over a pedestal. Look the up trinkets in the Rebirth wiki to know which items are and which aren't trinkets.
