Best way to find Black Lotus?

[1337Walrus]

It's one of the final items I need. Along with Transcendence and Skeleton Key. The others I could find pretty easily, but these...

secret room

I should clarify. I know where to find it, but I've had zero luck with it, I think the only item I've actually gotten from a secret room was a 1up. I'm wondering if there's a way to make this faster because as of now it's pretty much the only thing keeping me from Platinum God.

D6 + Sharp plug + way to gain health,(Scapular, Pyromaniac + bombs, Arcade with a lot of money, etc.) Find a secret room with an item in it, and with this combination of items, reroll until you get the item you desire.

Good luck with that.

Just play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. If you play that game, you will eventually unlock everything. Stop being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tryhard, trying to unlock everything in 3 hours. Just play the game normally and you WILL get it. Stop waiting for it and just. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Play.

True, they are hard to find.

♥♥♥♥ off, stop telling people how to play the game and just play it the way you want to play it.

Secret rooms suck, the quickest way I've found is to start a run with Isaac, plant the bomb on a random wall of the first room, if there's a secret room, reroll in case. If not, restart immediately.
On Normal the map is tiny, so there are good chances for the secret room to be right near you.

This method is viable, but it's obviously going to be tedious as hell.

save judgement; temperence and wheel of fortune cards. Put them down in the secret room, play them until it explodes and (hopefully) shows an item and you reroll it with the D6 => that way the items are going to reroll into an item from the secret room item pool. That's how i got 1 up which was the last one i needed. Hope it can help

I mean, you could literally play the game forever and... Not unlock everything.
Especially when it comes to The Lost. Lets face it, some people will never be good enough to beat the entire game without dying as The Lost. Which kinda sucks, because some of his items (The Mind, Isaac's Heart, D100) are fairly interesting items.

Regarding the Lost, there's always the Alt + F4 glitch for people like me.

Somehow, I don't feel like that's what he meant by play the game, though :P but honestly, I blame nobody for exploiting on The Lost. I know, this must make me some "trash noob", but I almost wish I gave it a try while Dead Cat was still (failing at) working.

No worries, it doesn't make you a "trash noob", just someone who doesn't have the time or the patience to beat an unfair character that's poorly designed.

I played TBOI (original one) yesterday just to get a feel of how it was again.
Got an item in EVERY SINGLE secret room from basement 1 to the chest.
I went through the entire secret room pool. From Transcendence to Epic Foetus, in my first game, without even trying.

I barely found 15 secret rooms with items in them in my entire Rebirth history, maybe less. And I usually go to almost all of them.
So yeah, screw this nerf...
