Unlocking Wizard

[Swamp Rat]

Do you have to kill the 2nd boss in the same run to get the wizard?

Can the wizard be in any of the armory areas or just the first one after the boss?

Is there a max of 1 hidden room per floor (if I open a hidden room and it’s not the wizard is there the possibility of another)?

Does the "larger room" modifier at the fountain increase the likelihood of the wizard spawning?

What is the best method to quickly unlock the wizard?

Nope, you can use the portals to get to the 3rd act, it makes no difference

bigger floors? it increases the level size by 33%, not sure how much of a difference that is practically speaking, but it won't hurt

use portals to get to the 3rd act, look for northern facing breakable walls, break them, see if the magic shop npc is inside.
beating the wraiths, having no secrets at the fountain, and being on floor 1 will all increase the chances of the prefab being the wizard

tbh, it's not that rare. you've probably found it by now. i think the worst odds are still only about 1/5 (that if the prefab spawns, the wizard one will be picked)
