#10 Cursed

Challenge: #10 Cursed

Description: The Cursed challenge requires you to play as Magdalene and run to Depths II to defeat Mom.

Unlock: This Challenge is unlocked once you receive Magdalene. You unlock Magdalene by having Seven full heart containers in one run.

Starting Items:

Blue Map

Compass

Raw Liver

Child's Heart

Yum Heart

Strategy: You also start this challenge with the Child’s Heart trinket, which gives a higher chance for health pick-ups to drop. This is just like a normal run, except that every doorway that doesn’t lead into a special room is like the doors leading into a cursed room. You are not able to avoid damage with flight. With all of the items given to you at the start, you know exactly where you need to go to avoid any unnecessary damage. There are item rooms and shops, but if it is too far away to travel, it will not be worth the risk of damage taken in hopes of getting a special item. To the best of your ability use secret and super secret rooms to help avoid having to travel through all the rooms to take less damage. For every room you travel you will be taking half a heart of damage. It’s easy to keep track of how much health you will need to make it from point A to B. Items like the Martyr or Holy Mantle will come in handy for making through each floor mostly unscathed, as long as you aren’t taking damage from enemies, this challenge shouldn’t be too difficult.

Completion: Completion of this challenge unlocks the Credit card.
