Edit:
Also, don't feel bad for dying a lot. This game can be harsh to new players, failures are to be expected. But if you can learn from them, then they're a good thing.
You can check the secrets menu to see the in-game version of that list (main menu -> stats -> secrets). The game won't tell you how to unlock them of course.
as say'd all ready every enemies and boss's (minus one) have patterns. there very basic when you can remember them all.
IF you manege too get Maggy or Magdaling as is call in the game. play her too learn the game better. she slow, she can heal, she can cheese. she perfect too learn the game.
isaac is the tutorial character for basic tboi 101 fundamentals.
for now pick every item you find, remember what it look's for later and make opinion about it.
if you somehow unlock "azazel" DO NOT PLAY HIM! he a massive noob trap.
this is advance but bear whit me. if you have a lot of bomb's. bomb the wall time too time where a door can be.
if you find a secret room remember that room you are in before the secret room.
in as short as i can and as simple as i can.
there a lot of rule's secret room have for generating.
like never connected next too the boss room. or next too room where a "door" cant make sense do too a rock in the way or thinner walls. do too tho's rule, both secret room tent too be connected too the same room over and over again. tho there can still be outlier's if there too many rule's at play. but normally. the secret room tent to be connected too 4 or 1 room and the super secret room is always 1 no mater what.
speaking of secret room go explore a bit too see if a unique room like a shop is next too one.
if it do's depending on how many key's or bomb's you have you can blow your way in.
lastly and this is important. NEVER sleep on mediocre stuff.
item like "kamikaze" are normally trash but can become busted whit creativity, skill and luck whit the right item. tho stay reasonable and don't pick up if you all ready have a build working
there not a lot of item that are truly so bad it better too have nothing.
genuinely insulted but ok. i'm just trying too help giving the best tip i can and quipping in mind that the clear lack of skill this player has. he ask for knowledge and what i give is too good to ignore like you ask him too do. like wtf can i say other the obvious get gud.
let me add more tutorial since i ran out of space, brain power and time.
yes, you are indeed "allowed to play Azazel". i say don't do it. since he too strong for your own good as a new player and he's a very unique character whit skill and meta reserve only for him. (too a degree of course)
i forgot too talk about tinted rock. always check some of the rock in the room your in. one of them maybe a bit bluer whit a X on it. blow that sucker up.
they usually give "soul heart", bomb's, key's, a chest or the small rock item one's you unlock it. "soul heart" is extra health but it closer too armour for your normal health
too know how they look better got too the wiki on that one. some version of tinted rock are a lot harder too spot.
here a good saying too quip in mind. "a single bomb for a bomb is a net positive".
if a bomb block by rock's blow up the rocks for that bomb. by doing this you don't lose your bomb and even may find good's by accident like a "crawl space".
Don't try to rely on these though, they're quite rare. You should consider them more as a "happy accident" than an actual goal.
Edit:
Regarding Azazel:
It's a great character to learn monsters' hitboxes and how close you can get to them (as any character), its specific mechanic forces you to get close to monsters (it has a very limited range with big damage and native flight). The downside: its mechanic is too specific. If you get too used to it, going back to other characters can be harsh.
So overall it's great to learn some aspects of the game, but you shouldn't get too used to it.
Most HP up items are found after killing bosses, so surviving long enough is a good start. Some items in the treasure rooms can also give you more health, but this item pool is much more varied so it may be harder to find one there.
There are also hp up pills, and the Strength tarot card gives you an extra hp up (but it's temporary - disappears when you leave the room).
And of course, don't reduce your health. Avoid HP down pills if possible, and don't pay any Devil Deal.
Something I wish someone had told me before I started playing this game: If you start out with a goal in mind, you may find yourself often disappointed as the RNGesus in this game doesn't like players and will (seemingly know and) not give you what you need to progress (example: you need a specific item to unlock the character The Lost and after 2 weeks of the item not spawning, I got a mod that force spawned it at the start of the run because I lost patience with RNGesus).
My advice is just play for now and unlock what ever the game feeds you. Wait until you've got a majority of things unlocked before trying to unlock specific things.
You may want to get the "item descriptions" mod that tells you on screen what every item does when you walk up to it. It's like an in-game wiki.
