This article is about the room. For the item pool, see Angel Room (Item Pool).

Angel Room

Angel Rooms are the divine equivalent of the Devil Room. They feature an angel and 0-4 free items. Taking one of these items causes all other free items to disappear. Character Tainted Keeper iconTainted Keeper still needs to pay for these items, and buying any of them cause all other of them disappear. Some of these items cost 30 pennies to buy. Every time the Devil RoomDevil Room is spawned/entered, there's a chance for it to be replaced by the Angel Room if certain conditions are met. After beating the Dark RoomDark Room or ChestChest once, an Angel can be awoken by planting a bomb near the statue (or destroying it with Collectible Leo iconLeo or similar items). This will begin an angel boss fight and allow Isaac to charge active item and pick up Collectible Key Piece 1 iconKey Piece 1 or Collectible Key Piece 2 iconKey Piece 2. Both pieces are needed to get through the Golden Door in ChestChest or Dark RoomDark Room to fight Mega Satan Head ingameMega Satan.

Variations[ | ]

The following room maps were made using Basement Renovator for cleaner viewing. Note that, unlike Devil rooms, items in Angel rooms cost nothing to take, but if there are multiple items, taking one will cause the others to disappear.

(in Rebirth) If an Angel Room appears upon defeating Boss Mom's Heart ingameMom's Heart or Boss It Lives ingameIt Lives, it will only contain a beam of light leading to CathedralCathedral.

Conditions to Make Angel Rooms Appear[ | ]

For the player to have a chance to get an Angel Room after killing a boss (or with a JokerJoker card / Red ChestRed Chest teleport), some conditions must be met:

  • A Devil RoomDevil Room door has spawned on any previous floor.
  • No Deals with the Devil have been made throughout the run.
    • Taking Red ChestRed Chest items, using Credit CardCredit Card, using (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Coupon iconCoupon, or collecting an item from Boss Krampus ingameKrampus doesn't count.
    • Even though it technically doesn't cost any health, taking a devil deal with Character The Lost iconThe Lost will still prevent Angel Rooms from appearing.
    • (in Repentance) Collectible Book of Virtues iconBook of Virtues and Collectible Act of Contrition iconAct of Contrition allow for Angel Rooms to spawn even if a Devil Deal was taken previously, as well as allowing to take Devil Deals without being locked out of Angel Rooms.
    • (in Repentance) The "You feel blessed!" fortune from ConfessionalConfessionals allow for Angel Rooms to spawn even if a Devil Deal was taken previously, but only for the current floor.

(except in Rebirth) Sacrifice Room Exception[ | ]

  • On the 3rd and 5th sacrifice in a Sacrifice RoomSacrifice Room, there is a 66% chance that the player will receive the "You feel blessed!" effect. This will increase the chances of the Angel Room spawning even if the previous conditions have not been met.
  • On the 6th sacrifice in a Sacrifice RoomSacrifice Room, there is a 33% chance that the player will be teleported to the Angel Room if they haven't already visited or opened the Devil Room for that floor. This will occur even if the previous conditions have not been met.

Angel Room Generation Chance[ | ]

The selection between Angel Room and Devil Room is made upon opening the door after defeating the floor's boss (or upon teleporting to the room using a JokerJoker card or a Red ChestRed Chest).

The game makes a series of coin flips to determine if an Angel Room will appear or not. If one of these coin flips succeeds, an Angel Room is generated (except for the Devil beggar coin flip). If all the coin flips fail or no coin flips are done, a Devil Room is generated. Satisfying certain conditions gives additional coin flips with varying probabilities:

Condition Chance Bonus
Base chance 50%
Holding Rosary BeadRosary Bead 50%
Donating 10 coins to the Donation MachineDonation Machine on the current floor 50%
Holding Collectible Key Piece 1 iconKey Piece 1 25%
Holding Collectible Key Piece 2 iconKey Piece 2 25%
Killing a Devil BeggarDevil Beggar on the current floor **
  • (in Rebirth) Killing Key Masters and Shell Game Beggars also applies the bonus.

Donating to a BeggarBeggar until it pays out with an item on the current floor ** 25%
(except in Rebirth) 10%
Donating to a Devil BeggarDevil Beggar until it pays out with an item on the current floor **
  • (except in Rebirth) If this coin flip succeeds, a Devil room will be generated regardless of the above coin flips.
25%
(except in Rebirth) 10%
(except in Rebirth) "You feel blessed!" fortune in the Sacrifice RoomSacrifice Room of the current floor
  • If the "You feel blessed!" fortune appeared on the 3rd sacrifice, the chance will be 15%.
  • If the "You feel blessed!" fortune appeared on the 5th sacrifice, the chance will be 50%.
  • If both "You feel blessed!" fortunes appeared, the chance will be 65%.
15/50/65%
(in Repentance) "You feel blessed" fortune from ConfessionalConfessionals on the current floor
  • The bonus is additive and goes up to 100% with 10 activations.
10%
(in Repentance) Holding Collectible Book of Virtues iconBook of Virtues
  • While held, The Book guarantees the first encountered Devil/Angel Room to be an Angel Room.
12.5%
Guaranteed
(in Afterbirth † and Repentance) Holding Collectible Eucharist iconEucharist Guaranteed
(in Repentance) First successful generation after seeing but not entering the first Devil Room of a run Guaranteed

** These conditions share the same "coin flip chance" in Rebirth.

Examples[ | ]

If Isaac meets the prerequisites and has Collectible Key Piece 1 iconKey Piece 1 with him, the game will make two coin flips to determine if he gets an Angel Room or not. The first coin flip has a 50% success chance and the second one has a 25% success chance. Isaac will only get a Devil Room if both coin flips fail, and he will get an Angel Room if one of the coin flips succeeds. The chance of failure is 0.5 * 0.75 = 0.375, which means the chance of success is 1 - 0.375 = 0.625. Thus, Isaac has a 62.5% chance to get an Angel Room—take note that the result is not simply the sum of the coin flip probabilities 50% + 25% for 75%.

If Isaac meets the prerequisites, has Collectible Key Piece 1 iconKey Piece 1, and has destroyed a Devil BeggarDevil Beggar on the current floor, the chance to fail all coin flips (and get a Devil RoomDevil Room) become 0.5 * 0.75 * 0.75 = 0.28125, which means that the chance of success is 1 - 0.28125 = 0.71875. Thus, Isaac has a 71.875% chance to get an Angel Room.

Notes[ | ]

  • The highest Angel Room chance is 95.25% in Rebirth and 98.34% in Afterbirth (with the Sacrifice RoomSacrifice Room blessings).
    • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Eucharist iconEucharist guarantees that an Angel Room will spawn on every possible floor.
  • It is possible to be teleported to an Angel Room from a JokerJoker card or a Red ChestRed Chest.
    • (except in Rebirth) It is also possible to teleport there from the 6th sacrifice of a Sacrifice RoomSacrifice Room.
  • If an Angel Room spawns after the player defeats Boss Mom's Heart ingameMom's Heart or (in Rebirth) Boss It Lives ingameIt Lives, instead of items or pickups, a beam of light will appear. Touching this beam of light will take the player to the CathedralCathedral. The Angel can still be awoken by destroying the statue in this room. The beam of light will disappear for the duration of the fight.
    • (except in Rebirth) Angel Rooms that spawn after Isaac defeats Boss It Lives ingameIt Lives will be normal Angel Rooms with items or pickups.
  • The Rock behind the Angel can rarely be a Tinted Rock.
  • (except in Rebirth) A Troll BombTroll Bomb can sometimes appear behind the angel statue, blowing it up. If the Angel fights have been unlocked, this will begin the boss fight if the player is not careful or quick enough to move the bomb.
    • (in Repentance) A regular BombBomb appears behind the statue instead. The player can pick it up, and decide whether to blow up the statue or not.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) Two angel statues can appear in the same room, allowing Isaac to fight both UrielUriel and GabrielGabriel. It is possible to get both Key Pieces if Isaac awakes and fights each of them one by one; however, fighting both at once will only spawn one Key Piece corresponding to the last defeated angel.
    • (in Repentance) Both angels can be fought at once, and will drop their corresponding Key Pieces as they die.
  • Contrary to popular belief, the Bible TractBible Tract doesn't allow Angel Rooms to appear after paying for a Devil deal.
