I'm losing my patience with Angel Rooms.

[The Ripper {Panda}]

Seriously, how on earth do you spawn them? I'm trying to get the Lost achievement for beating Mega Satan to get it out of the way and I swear form the dozens of game Ive played so far I was only able to get ONE angel room. One time I even had Rosary and The Bible on hand and I didn't get a single one. And yes I'm not getting Devil Deals (which is half the fun with the lost too). I just dunno what I'm doing wrong...

Well, neither rosary nor the Bible will increase the chance of getting angel rooms. Only the trinket Rosary Bead does.
What you need to do is :
1) Blow up a devil beggar or key beggar once you found
2) Donate 10 cents to machine in shops
3) Find Rosary Bead
4) Worship RNGesus (the most important one)

If you manage to find an angel room, after defeating the angel and pick up the key piece, don`t leave the room. Exit the game normally to main menu, and the continue, the angel statue will return. Blowing up it results in fighting the other angel.

Have you checked the leaving game thing since last patch? (Didn't work for me, but might have been a singular glitchy thing)

think any item gives Faith up increases chance to get Angel room, ignore devil deals also helps too, if u see that door open don't bother.

Bible does not give more access to angel rooms, Bible is odd ball item i even gotten it in Devil room o.O

Faith up does not give more chance for angel rooms.

I`m not sure if any newer patch has come after the Stopwatch nerf patch; If it is the newest patch, I`ve done this for 2 times and both worked. Different results have been reported by others: some can do the trick while some cannot. Maybe it differs between computers just like the Hush crash bug.

The Rosary bead (the trinket, not the rosary item) is the only thing that says "Faith up" and really increase the chance of finding angel room......other faith ups may either increase the chance of finding eternal hearts or does nothing.
The reason why you find Bible in devil room is presumably you have pick up item Rosary which will shuffle 7 copies of Bible to all item pool.

RULES / TIPS:

• Don't get hit at all on the entire floor to have the best chance at spawning a Devil Room. Or don't take hits to your red hearts on the Boss fight for a good chance.
  
• Do not take ANY Devil Items in the Devil Room, however you can take them from anywhere else including: Boss Room, Item Room, Curse Room, etc. Taking an item in a Devil Room *significantly* lowers your chances of finding an Angel Room.
  
• When a Devil Room spawns, enter and then leave the room and continue to the next floor (or finish the floor before continuing).
  
• Rosary Bead Trinket is supposed to increase your chances of getting an Angel or Devil Room to 50/50 as opposed to 75% Devil / 25% Angel.
  
• After you obtain the Golden Key, you can take items from the Devil Room and still be able fight Mega Satan.
  
  1. You could try to get Goat Head from a Curse Room.
  
  Goat Head always spawns a Devil / Angel Room (except on the first floor) and the door remains open (the Angel statue will respawn in the Angel Room if you re-enter = Golden Key on one floor). Also, make sure you save 2 bombs for the key.
  
  
• You preferably want to play as Isaac with the D6.
  
• Hold R on the first floor until you get a Curse Room next to you.
  
• Go inside and check out the room. There may be an item sitting there you could re-roll into Goat Head. Goat Head might even be the item in there.
  
• Also, check red chests and stone chests for the Goat Head item.
  
• If you don't find it in the Curse Room then hold 'R' and try again.
  
• DO NOT take Goat head in a Devil Room if you are transported there from a Curse Room.
  
• This method could take a while to find it (up to 10 minutes or more).
  
  2. Another option is to get a very powerful item / weapon in your first item room.
  
  Getting a very strong item in your first item room can almost guarantee Angel Rooms. Of course you have to play well for this to succeed.
  
  
• Same Strategy for getting Goat Head (hold 'R' until the Item Room spawns near you and reroll into a good item - if fails, then hold 'R' and try again).
  
• ??? could be a good character choice as he never takes red heart damage.
  
• Good items to start with [ITEM / TREASURE ROOM]: Mom's Knife, IPECAC, Proptosis, ???'s Only Friend, Dr. Fetus, Magic Mushroom, Blood of the Martyr, Cricket's Head, Death's Touch, Lil' Brimstone.
  
• Curse Room items can also be good, but some are only good if coupled with a good starting item from the Item Room.
  
• Good items to start with [CURSE ROOM]: The Pact, The Mark, Pentagram, Ceremonial Robes.
  
  Even if you get Goat Head or the Golden Key, you still need to become strong enough to kill Mega Satan. I've had many runs fail where I obtained the Golden Key only to die to Mega Satan or not even get to him because I didn't quite get strong enough.

You know that angel rooms is not the only way to open door to megstan? Dad's key or get out of jail card will also open the door.

Two faulty things in here. Your first point "Don't get hit at all...etc etc" is inaccurate. A deal with the Devil chance increases by 99% if you take no Red Heart damage for an entire floor (this doesn't include Bloodbank, devil beggar, iv-bag, razor blade). Taking damage to your spirit hearts or black hearts doesn't affect the chances of a devil room spawn.

Second inaccuracy: Is the chance increase, you say Rosary Bead makes the chances 50/50 instead of 75/25. Actually, the standard is 50/50. If you have Rosary Bead, which is a "strong bonus", this changes to 75% chance for an Angel Room and 25% chance for a Devil Room.

EDIT: Oh, and just noticed, you say that taking a deal with the devil *significantly* lowers your chances for an Angel Room, but in fact, as soon as you pay for an item with red heart containers in the Deal with the Devil, you can no longer spawn an Angel Room that run. You can take the items just fine with Diplopia or Chaos or whatever, as long as you don't get ANY item that costs you one or more health containers. Or for Blue Baby, spirit hearts. And for the Lost, no picking up Devil Deal items at all.

This link will show how the Angel Room percentages are made up.

@Flavorable Thanks for correcting my post. I played the original game and Rebirth (& Afterbirth) and have heard a lot of misinformation. I have a hard time keeping track of how it all works and who's right and who's wrong.

Even if some of the numbers are wrong it should give people a rough idea of how to get Angel and Devil Rooms. And even if it's not all correct it should encourage people to play better and to not take damage to get those special rooms.
