How to open the jail cell

[caboosecxv]

I might just be dumb, but i cant get the locks that hold the npc in the gungeon proper to open, i have several keys but it just wont work, someone mind shedding a bit of light on this?

You need a cell key, there's a 100% chance that it's going to drop from the floor where the cell is on, if you don't get it from rooms you're going to get it from defeating the boss.

You need a specific, Golden, key to open prision cells. A random enemy in the floor has it, potentially even the boss.

Is there a particular criteria needed like not getting hit as I have had 3 jail cells now and defeated everything and received no golden key.

I got a cell key but I can't get into the room. The chain is red and the lock spits at me.

You need a key to enter, and if you already tried the lockpick (50% chance) then its broke and you cant enter now :(
