The Angels Await

[Petacho]

What is this? I just unlocked this achievement after beating The Chest, but I can't find any information about it online, does it do anything? Or is it just a reminder of me beating The Chest for the first time?

When you go into an Angel room, place a bomb by the angel. You'll figure out.

[str8 up "ghoulin it"]

It means you can bomb the angel statues in angel deal rooms and recieve key pieces to fight a certain boss with.

Not gonna spoil anything about what happens, but you know those staues you find in the angel rooms? Bomb two of them in one run, pick up what they drop, and take them to the Chest.

Alright then, thanks for the tips guys, will try and beat the game and get to that boss :)

Also, even if you don't plan on fighting the boss anyway, kill the angels if you feel you can safely do it. They increase the chances of further angel rooms to spawn. Or, if you are isaac/have the D6, you can re-roll the key pieces they drop into another angel item

Why would you want to get more angel rooms? Unless you are looking for items for RPG or trying to get both key pieces, devil deals are better

I don't think devil deals are better.
When playing as Isaac, you always have 1 item in each angel room, often 2 while there's sometimes none in devil's rooms. Items such as God Head, Sacred Heart & Trinity Shield are some of the best items in the game and can only be found there. There's also some other good stuff (Holy Grail, The Soul, Holy Mantle...)

Trinity shield sucks, learn to dodge. The soul sucks too, learn to dodge. Holy mantle also, learn to dodge!
And most of the time you do not have a D6 since you are not always on isaac.
The only good angel room items are godhead, sacred heart (both special), holy grail, dead dove and the mind.
The good devil deal items are: knife, brimstone, pentagram, judas shadow, all guppy pieces, sin robes, dark matter, abbadon, deaths touch, lil brim, pact, lord of the pit, spirit of the night, curse up. (There are also OK ones like goat head or rotten baby)

[Arghaab]

Your logic is biased. It can basically be translated by : Every item sucks, learn to dodge and you don't need any.
+ you classify Sin Robes as a good item and The Soul as a bad one? They're almost the same item except that The Soul comes with a great effect as a bonus and don't cost you any heart.

My point is that dodging makes you loose time and therefore Trinity Shield is a huge damage upgrade since you don't need to make so much useless moves. The same goes for Holy Mantle, wich allow you to bomb your way trough the rooms without fighting ennemies and without having to dodge them while doing so.

I personnaly don't take Dark Matter, since I hate Fear effects, that makes the enemies unpredictable and therefore make you loose time while fighting them. There's some Guppy items that I don't take either. Guppy's Tail for exemple can ruin a run if you take it early since it makes you loose a lot of keys and you may end up having to clear enterely the levels to find some, or accept to loose some items.
Well these are just examples. I just wanted to say that the only purpose of this game is to have fun. Therefore there's not only one way to play it and there's no good or bad item. There's just items you like and items you dislike playing with.

"Why would you want to get more angel rooms?"
Answer is simple : because I'd like to play with some angel room items. Not every run, but during some of them.

It means ¡¡CONGRATULATIONS!! you unlocked the mega satan battle, kill the angels to get the key to the battle, just dont make deals with the devil, do not get hurt by anything or else you're faith will decrease and you will not have the chance to unlock heaven doors, try to survive the longest you can and get to the boss so then you can unlock the mother battle and then the true ending

so damage = good and everything else is bad? and how is dead dove good but goat head isnt?
