Tips for unlocking The Forgotten?

[The Cellular Level™]

Title

[Desticler]

Do it as Azazel in Normal mode.

[SpicyMunition]

i did it as issac, after i unlocked the d6.

-Using the broken shovel stops the foot stomping for the current room...useful for some bosses or annoying rooms

-If you put the broken shovel down to pick up an active item, don't leave the current room without the shovel or it will disappear

-Do circles and don't backtrack so much to prevent getting stomped so often

-Use the stomping to your advantage, the foot can break tinted rocks and open secret rooms, and smash shopkeepers

[RunningOnMonster]

Azzy run, run like hell, utilise the stompy on bosses etc, hope to god for a bomb immunity item.

[Entropie]

Resetting for bomb immunity in the first room did it for me, though there are some caviats:
Using Isaac will mean less resets due to the d6 and he starts with a bomb so you don't run the risk of not getting one in the first level but Isaac will be slower to beat the boss and since you are not resetting for a damage buff it is harder to make the time limit.

Using Azazel will make the 1 min boss kill quite easy but there is a possibility to fluke out on the bomb and requires more resets to find bomb immunity.

Normal or the other one?

Nope. Never use them. Way better items

[GaviJa]

Azazel in normal you should get it first try it's pretty easy. If by tips you are refering to "I know how to do it but I'm looking for help to do it".

[Entropie]

Another way to probably unlock it, especially if you struggle with the usual methods would be using a victory lab with a particularly powerful set of items.

pritty sure v laps dont count the items

[Entropie]

Hmm it seems that even though the shovel can be optained in a v lap it will not unlock the forgotten at the end, so forget about this method.

Rerol till you get priomania making the legs heal you and it gives you a bomb

Never mind, I just unlocked him, pretty proud and thanks for all the tips!
