How to unlock The Cathedral/sheol?

[Edmund Kemper]

Hey guys,

I've beaten moms heart 2 times with Samson today, but I still can not get past the womb/utero. Do I have to beat moms heart with Isaac to be able to go there or wut?

Beat it 10 times and see what happens.

He's serious.

Or do it without getting hit and get a devil (or angel) room on the heart.

I got the cathedreal on my first full run of rebirth (pretty lucky). It seems you can get it before you beat mom x amount of times, just make sure you defeat mom's heart within a short amount of time with no red heart dmg taken. You'll almost always get a devil room or angel room with ANY boss this way.

That's how you do it. Beat the Heart 10 times, then the light to the Cathedral appears.

Once you beat Mom's Heart once, the trap door to Sheol should open at least once. After that, you'll have to wait til you unlock the Cathedral.

Sheol didn't open for me. But I'm sorry, I did not realize you had to beat mom's heart 10 times and it wasn't a ruse.

My apologies. Thanks for the help guys :)

It is 11 times. Not 10. If i am not mistaken you unlock the negative if you beat moms heart 10 times. That is atleast what happend when i won for the 10th time.

There are 2 ways to this.

A) Get a devil/angel room on the womb 2.

If its a devil deal it will take you to sheol. If it is an angel deal it will take you to the cathedral.

B) Beat the game 11 times.

After beating the game 11 times, the portal to both sheol and the cathedral will ALWAYS spawn regardless if you got a devil / angel deal.

Op pls die of cancer

i think sheol is there you complete sheol and unlock cathedral i think after the moms heart fight you go into the devil room and there should be a way to sheol

[Moonfang]

When you beat the heart enough times, both a trapdoor and a beam of light spawns when you kill it. The beam of light is Cathedral, and the trapdoor is Sheol.
The only other way (for cathedral, anyways) to go down to Sheol or Cathedral is to get a devil or angel room respectively. However there are about 2 more ways for Sheol (neither works with cathedral) get i am error room on Womb 2, or use We need to go deeper on Womb 2.

The negative is killing Satan about 5 or so times.

You must use google search in order to unlock cathedral/sheol.

Guys please, this thread is like inactive for over a month. No point in continuing again lol.

Hahaaaaaa! I am continuing it, suckaaaaaaaa!

If a devil room spawns after beating Mom's Heart, you'll be able to go to Sheol. If an angel room spawns at Mom's heart, it can take you to Cathedral. Taking red heart damage significantly reduces the chances for either room to spawn, so either don't get hit, or stock up on soul hearts and black hearts.

Having the Book of Belial (Judas starts with it) will guarantee their spawn. Also, if you want to go to the Cathedral, you have to have the angel room spawn, which will spawn ONLY if you don't take any devil deals. So if you're actively going for the Cathedral, avoid making deals with the devil (taking items laying around, etc. is perfectly fine, however).

Also, do try killing her heart 10 times.
