To fight angels in an Angel Room in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, you must first meet a specific requirement before you can initiate the encounter by bombing a statue within the room.
Unlocking Angel Fights
Before you can challenge an Angel, there's a crucial prerequisite you must fulfill:
- You need to have defeated either Blue Baby (The Chest) or The Lamb (The Dark Room) for the very first time. This achievement unlocks the ability to fight Angels for key pieces.
Initiating the Fight in the Angel Room
Once the prerequisite is met, the process to fight an Angel in a subsequent Angel Room is straightforward:
- Locate the Angel Statue: Upon entering an Angel Room, you will typically find an angelic statue in the center.
- Bomb the Statue: Use a bomb on this statue.
- Engage the Angel: After bombing the statue, it will be destroyed, and an Angel boss will appear, initiating a battle.
| Requirement | Action in Angel Room | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Defeat Blue Baby or The Lamb (first time) | Bomb the Angel statue | An Angel boss fight begins |
Rewards for Defeating Angels
Defeating an Angel in these encounters is essential for progression, as they drop key pieces. Collecting two key pieces will form a single Key, which is necessary to access certain hidden areas or bosses, such as Mega Satan.
