Find special Items? Any Tips?
Hey guys, it´s maybe a bad question but it´s kinda frustrating. Got almost everything in the game. The only things that I miss are 2 Items.
Maybe you can help me with experience or tips?
Item number 1: The Skeleton Key (believe me or not, but this Item is soooo nasty, altimes if I watch speedruns or any Eden/Random streaks on Twitch, they got it many times....) I guess this item just hates me. I know it´s a secret-room pool item but is there any chance to increase the chance to get those items?

Item number 2: Is the sworn protector, I´ve never seen that anywhere just on an Isaac wiki.. how is it even possible to get the Angel Room? The devil deal pops up way more as the Angel...

Sorry for my bad english!

Would be nice if someone can help me out a bit with that. Wanna get the Real Platinum God... :FrankyOPPW3:

Skeleton key - Isaac with D6 - secret room with an item in it - reroll till you get it

Angel room - Don't take devil deals, sacrifice room, blow up devil beggars, rossary - reroll / get angel room with an item in it, kill angel room and reroll both items key piece and item on pedestal - rerolling 2 items increase your chance getting item that you desire.

Both of these items can be gotten more easily if you have Chaos. Are you playing Rebirth or Afterbirth?

Touche. To be fair it's been a while since I unlocked everything my bad.
That being said you just need to break the game with chaos op. Do it in greed mode or something, at least for sworn protector it's not hard to do.

For the Skeleton Key, just constantly play as Isaac and don't use your D6 for anything else.
Make items spawn in secret rooms and reroll them. (With Judgment/Temperance for example, or by killing the dead shopkeeper inside the Secret Rooms). The new items will be taken from the Secret Room pool.

For the Sworn Protector, yeah; there's no easier way than breaking the game with Chaos and generate every item in the Greed Mode pool.
Otherwise there's 2 slower options :

- Play as Isaac, never take a Devil Deal (You probably already know it but if you take a Devil Deal, Angel Rooms can't spawn anymore until the next run), max your Angel room chance genration, and always kill the Angel so you can reroll his key part as well as the Angel Room item.
Remember that you can make items spawn in the Angel Room too and reroll them as well as the existing item and the angel's key (Again, Temperance/Judgment are your favorite cards here).
Here's a list of things to do in order to max your Angel Room generation chance :
  • Hold the Rosary Bead
  • Donate at least 10 coins in the donation machine of the current floor
  • Kill every Devil Beggar you see
  • Donate money to the normal Beggars of the current floor until they pay out
  • Sacrifice some hearts in the Sacrifice Room of the current floor until you get blessed (After the third and/or the fifth heart, you get a chance to be blessed. If you're blessed twice, the chances gets even bigger)


- Play as Eden, restart if you don't have the item needed as a starting item. This may take a while require a massive amount of Eden tokens if you do it for a passive item rather than an active one.

Thank all of you very much guys!
So if I pick up the Chaos Item (mostly seen in the greed mode) then i get the chance to find a key in the golden room if I understand it right? So chaos would be awesome with the greed mode or? I mean it grants faster cause you can swap, etc? Does it effect too with Isaac´s dice? Maybe I understand it now right, thanks I´ll try the greed mode strat to find those both items.. to find anyone of this items random will take many many hours..

What you should do is play as Cain or isaac, keep resetting until you get the blank card in the shop, buy the blank card when you can then keep buying cards from the shop until you get two of diamonds.

When you finally get the 2 of diamonds either buy batteries from the current shop or go to the next floor until you find a battery. When you have 6 or more coins after buying a battery you should be able to get infinite money. From there keep buying every item in the shop until chaos shows up. When it does buy it then you should see angel and devil items in the shop. If you were lucky enough to swap your d6 in the gold room or regular treasure room you can go back and swap it with blank card and keep buying batteries and rolling the items you probably already dropped. DO NOT ROLL YOUR BLANK CARD, this is very important because you will eventually run out of money even if you roll all your items a dozen times.

Doing it this way should net you sworn protector but honestly I'm not sure skeleton key will ever show up because some items don't ever seem to show up in Greed mode
