While you can get a lucky teleport to a deal with the devil early via a Joker card or a Red Chest, the standard way to reach a deal with the devil is the chance for the deal to appear following boss fights - a Devilish door opens and inside you may find some of the most powerful items in the game. The third tip on my list for beginner Isaac players is the one with the most potential to have a gigantic impact on any run: Deals with the Devil. One important beginner strategy is making use of the standard secret room as a pathway - using two bombs may be able grant you access to a room that would otherwise be off limits. To help you locate secret rooms of both types, remember that ALL of the doors to the secret room can never be blocked by a rock or a gap - they must always be accessible to a player on the ground. Secret rooms must usually be entered using an explosion placed in the center of an adjoining wall, and remain open once they've been bombed. The standard secret room usually borders 3 or 4 rooms, while the super secret room always borders only ONE room and it is never a special room - that is, it's never an item room, shop, boss room, ect.

My second tip for new players in Afterbirth Plus is a secret! Both Secret and Super Secret ROOMS are found on every single floor throughout the game and offer the player a risk/reward scenario: they can be hard to find but the payouts are potentially lucrative. That's the very basics of map structure in Isaac, and while simple it's important to help you achieve success as a new player. Shops have their own unique pool of items with a typical item cost of 15 cents, and although items are sometimes on sale and consumables can be purchased for a lower cost, a good beginner guideline is to visit the shop if you have an extra key or two and can meet the 15 cent minimum.Įvery floor from the beginning of Isaac until the very end also contains a boss fight, and while the boss fights generally get progressively harder and there ARE ways to skip past the fight, you pretty much always want to fight the boss because you also get an item from the boss as well as a chance for more items, but we'll touch on that later. Shops are also found on the first three sets of floors and always require a key to enter directly.

Other than that cost of a key, item rooms typically contain a free item and should always be visited so save your keys! ITEM Rooms are found on the first three sets of floors - Basement, Caves and Depths - and require a key beginning on the second floor. BUT there are a few key points to touch on as basics. Now, there are TONS of variations on rooms that you can encounter on each floor in this game, as you can see with this peek at the Wiki, and much of that falls outside the scope of this video. My first tip for new Isaac players is learning the basic map layout for floors in Isaac. Also please keep in mind that Isaac is a game of exceptions to rules, and thus many of these tips can and will be influenced by a given run's composition. In keeping with that, I encourage you to leave any contributions or corrections below in the comments! Many more advanced concepts are outside the scope of a beginner guide like this one: things like Greed and Greedier Modes, strategies related to specific items, characters, enemies or bosses, advanced play like game breaking, and out of respect to new players' experience with Isaac, I'm not including anything related to late-game spoilers. This list was compiled by me and is not meant as statement of fact, but rather a helpful starting point for new players.
