New Floor Variants and Endgame Paths

Wrath of the Lamb introduces alternative versions of early and mid‑game floors, plus new late‑game destinations with tougher fights and unique rewards.

The Cellar

An alternative to the Basement featuring spider‑heavy rooms, sticky webs that slow you and your tears, and nastier early bosses. Great for learning how terrain penalties change combat tempo.

The Catacombs

Replaces the Caves with beefier threats like Keepers and B. Lickers. Expect tighter corridors and more pressure to time your shots and dodges precisely.

Necropolis

A harder variant of the Depths, remixing familiar enemies into faster, meaner patterns. Mistakes here are expensive — bring crowd control or high tear damage.

Utero

A brutal mirror of the Womb featuring Mask and Heart pairs and other relentless foes. Room layouts demand constant movement and careful target priority.

The Cathedral

An angelic counterpart to Sheol, unlocked after It Lives. Holy‑themed enemies and a climactic boss test your build quality and survival skills.

The Chest

Reach this floor by finishing the Cathedral with the Polaroid. Start with four golden chests, then battle through rooms that pit you against double bosses. Clear it with specific characters to unlock new items and a final ending cutscene.

Tips for Your First Victories

• Pathing matters: alternative floors are riskier but pay out with stronger loot potential.
• Prioritize survivability: red heart containers, soul hearts, and damage mitigation keep streaks alive.
• Know your economy: bombs open secret rooms and tinted rocks; keys secure treasure rooms and shops.
