The Stairway

Effects

• At the start of every floor, generates a ladder which leads to a special (Angel Room) Angel Room Shop, regardless of whether a devil deal has been taken. These angel shops always contain the following:
  • Three items/pickups for sale. These items/pickups can be on sale, just like with normal (Shop) Shop.
    • An item from the Angel Room Item Pool for 15 or 30 pennies.
    • An Eternal heart for 5 pennies.
    • A Soul heart for 5 pennies.
    • A key for 5 pennies.
    • A (Holy Card) Holy Card for 5 pennies.
  • An Angel statue. The Angel can be fought for a Key Piece like normal.
  • A normal (Beggar.png) Beggar or (Rotten Beggar.png) Rotten Beggar next to the entrance.
  • A (Confessional.png) Confessional, if it has been unlocked.

• The ladder to the angel room disappears if Isaac leaves the starting room, regardless of whether Isaac has climbed it or not.

  • The ladder also disappears after save-quitting.

• Weight decrementation in the generated shops is the same as in regular Angel Rooms, so if an item is seen in the special shop, it won't be encountered regularly again for the rest of the run.

• During the Ascent, ladders will generate in the "starting rooms" (where light beams are located) on every floor.

• The ladder will appear in Greed Mode, but the ladder may be blocked off depending on the room layout.

• The ladder will appear in the Mirrored World in the starting room, and will lead to the same shop.

• Since a beggar always spawns immediately to the right of the entrance way, caution should be taken to avoid accidental donation.
