Sacrifice Rooms
Partly out of date — The payout ladder is right; four specifics are wrong or missing for Repentance.
- 8th sacrifice: the table says 6 Troll Bombs. Repentance gives 7.
- 6th sacrifice: in Repentance the teleport goes to the Angel Room even if you have already taken Devil Deals, falling back to the Devil Room only if that floor's deal was already seen.
- 7th sacrifice: can spawn Redemption instead of the Soul Heart if a Devil Deal was taken.
- 3rd sacrifice: the blessing guarantees an Angel Room if no deal has been seen yet.
- Spike damage in here no longer lowers your Devil or Angel Room chance.
Checked against Sacrifice Room (wiki)
Historically, Sacrifice Rooms have always been pretty darn useless in The Binding of Isaac, but lucky owners of the Afterbirth DLC will find they've had a huge revamp, significantly increasing the quality of rewards you can find.
The Sacrifice Room now has various different levels of rewards, depending on the amount of times used on the same floor. The below table details each level of payout and the reward for reaching each tier:
| Number of Sacrifices | Possible Payouts |
|---|---|
| 1st, 2nd | 1 Coin (50% chance) - Cannot be Nickels or Dimes • Nothing (50% chance) |
| 3rd | Nothing (33% chance) • 'You feel blessed!' buff (66% chance) - Increased chance to see an Angel Room in favour of a Devil Room on the current floor • - This increased chance has a value of 15% * (Devil Room chance). |
| 4th | 1 Random Chest (50% chance) • Nothing (50% chance) |
| 5th | 3 Coins (33% chance) - Cannot be Nickels or Dimes • 'You feel blessed!' buff (66% chance) - Increased chance to see an Angel Room in favour of a Devil Room on the current floor. • - This increased chance has a value of 50% * (Devil Room chance). |
| 6th | Teleport to the Devil or Angel Room (33% chance) • 1 Random Chest (66% chance) |
| 7th | 1 Random Angel Room Item (33% chance) • 1 Soul Heart (66% chance) |
| 8th | 6 Troll Bombs (100% chance) |
| 9th | Uriel Angel mini-boss spawns (100% chance) |
| 10th | 7 Soul hearts (50% chance) • 30 Coins (50% chance) - Cannot be Nickels or Dimes |
| 11th | Gabriel Angel mini-boss spawns (100% chance) |
| 12th+ | Teleport directly to the Dark Room floor (50% chance) • Nothing (50% chance) |
Notes
- The 'You feel blessed!' buffs can even allow an Angel Room to spawn after taking a Devil Deal.
- A payout is randomly chosen from each of the possible ones for that sacrifice.
- The sacrifice room door stays open during the Angel fights, meaning they can be skipped to proceed to the next level of sacrificing without killing them.
- The Dark Room teleport still happens on any floor even if you haven't unlocked it yet.
- Dying in a sacrifice room while holding Missing Poster will unlock The Lost.
- Invincibility and shields will not trigger a sacrifice (including Holy Mantle).
