The Shovel Handle is an active item that can be used to stop the stomping assault for the current room, or for the current wave if the room has multiple waves of enemies.

If you’re daring, you can try to bait a Foot into stomping somewhere to destroy something, such as tinted rocks or other bombable obstacles.

If you have Host Hat or Pyromania, you’re completely safe from the Feet.

Getting hit by Mom’s Foot is considered damage via an explosion.

You’ll have to clear the next five floors while dealing with Mom’s Foot. Stay on the move as you make your way to the exit. When you’re carrying the Shovel Handle, up to two copies of Mom’s Foot will repeatedly drop from above attempt to crush you. Make sure you’ve done all you need to do on the first floor before picking up the handle! If you can’t find any bombs on the first floor, you’ll be guarenteed to get a bomb if you use a Sacrifice Room, assuming one spawns. …and a shovel handle will fall into the room. Grab a bomb and let it loose in the room… Notice that there’s now a shadow of what appears to be a shovel handle. After hearing the voice, return to the starting room. The next step requires a bit of luck to get a bomb.

If that happens, it’s probably best to reset. Note that if you get ‘Curse of the Labyrinth’ on the first floor, you’ll have to defeat both bosses. If you’ve done it correctly, you’ll hear Mom shout Isaac’s name followed by the sound of running footsteps. Pressing Tab will change the minimap and allow you to see just how much time you have. The first step to unlocking The Forgotten is to reach and defeat the first floor’s boss in one minute. Cain is also a good choice, due to his decent health and attack combined with having the highest base speed of all the characters. He doesn’t start with any heart containers (instead getting 3 Black Hearts,) but he moves fast, flies, and can do good damage with his short-range Brimstone attack. Out of all the characters in the game, Azazel is probably the best choice. This means that you’ll want to choose a character that can move and kill fast. Part of the requirements for unlocking The Forgotten requries a good bit of speed. From 12 sacrifices onwards, you have a 50/50 chance of being warped straight to the Dark Room. If you damage yourself on the spikes, you can get rewards that depend on how many times you’ve done so that floor.

Alternatively, you can make use of a Sacrifice Room, a special room with spikes in the middle. If you beat Satan while holding this item and enter the large chest he drops after he’s defeated, you’ll wind up in the Dark Room. In order to reach it, you have to have beaten Satan at least five times to unlock The Negative. DEFEAT THE LAMBīefore The Forgotten can be unlocked, you have to have beaten The Lamb, the boss of the Dark Room, at least once.
