A Strange Door is a special exit that is unlocked by beating Mother for the first time. It leads to a special version of MausoleumMausoleum/GehennaGehenna II, which contains Dad's Note, which starts the Ascent, and eventually HomeHome and the fight against Dogma and The Beast.

The door spawns in the starting room of DepthsDepths/NecropolisNecropolis/Dank DepthsDank Depths II. It can be opened by giving it The Polaroid or The Negative. This can be done through methods such as using a teleportation card, a Telepills, a teleport activated item, Ventricle Razor, or Forget Me Now after defeating Mom, escaping the boss room. The door can also be opened with Broken PadlockBroken Padlock, Cracked Orb, Faded PolaroidFaded Polaroid, Error: The given pickup ("Soul of Cain") does not exist., or Sharp Key, but not Mr. ME!, Dad's Key,Mysterious PaperMysterious Paper, or a Get out of Jail Free CardGet out of Jail Free Card.

Having more than one of The Polaroid or The Negative, (such as through Diplopia or R Key) will only remove one to open the door. Faded PolaroidFaded Polaroid is always taken first if held, then The Negative and then The Polaroid.

A Marked Skull always spawns somewhere in the second floor of the chapter. Destroying it will drop a guaranteed Error: The given pickup ("0 - The Fool") does not exist. (or a Telepills if holding Little Baggy), giving a reliable way to open the door. It is recommended to visit the Boss RushBoss Rush room for a free item before teleporting out if possible. The Telepills will become a ??? if Isaac has Little Baggy and False PHD, rendering it more difficult to exit the boss room.
