Strange Key - The Binding of Isaac

▾Table of Contents▾

Strange Key is an unlockable trinket in The Binding of Isaac, added in the Repentance DLC.

Unlocks the passageway to Blue Womb regardless of the run's duration.

Using Pandora's Box while holding the trinket will ignore the regular effects of the box, and instead spawn 6 higher quality items from a set of item pools, consuming both the item and trinket in the process.

The items are chosen from the following pools: Treasure Room, Shop, Boss, Devil Room, Angel Room, Secret Room, Library, Golden Chest, Curse Room, Planetarium.

The Treasure Room pool has a much higher chance to be chosen than the others that have an equal chance.
