Understand the resources and chest types relevant to this room. These are useful references, not guaranteed rewards.

Related curses and floor objects

Useful interactions, possible drops and route decisions. These connections are not a guaranteed spawn or reward list.

Plan the health decision

Check the room's entry, payment and healing rules against your actual health. Enemy damage, deliberate red-first payments and item prices do not use one shared spending rule.

Find the entrance

How to enter Curse Room

Walk through the spiked door. Normal entry and exit each deal half a heart, increasing to a full heart from Womb.

What you can find

Rewards and opportunities

Red Chests, possible Curse-pool items, Black Hearts, enemies, or other layout-specific contents.

Before you commit

The risk to plan around

Budget for leaving as well as entering. Flight avoids entry damage, but does not remove exit damage.

  • Curse-door damage does not reduce the normal Devil/Angel deal chance.
  • Greed mode uses the Greed Curse pool.
