Darkrai deals: the Distortion Room

Darkrai sells very strong items for health: 1 or 2 heart containers, or 3 soul hearts. It won't let you pay if you'd be left with no health. It is PokéIsaac's devil deal.

Ask the Coach Tell it your Pokémon, your items and your floor: it says what to take, which deal to make and how to beat the boss.

Price
1-2 containers or 3 soul hearts
When the room appears
After a boss: base 5 %, +35 % if the boss didn't hurt you, almost certain if you took no damage all floor, +20 % with a deal item; rarer if it appeared recently
Celestial Room
Making any deal closes the Celestial Room (Jirachi) for the rest of the run
Enraged Darkrai health
240 (grows with floor)

Once per run, with a 10 % chance, Darkrai offers no deals: it attacks you. Once defeated, it drops a Charcoal. The fight is listed with the bosses.

How to get the Distortion Room

Beat the boss without taking damage. The base chance is only 5 %, a clean boss fight adds 35 %, and a whole floor without a hit makes the violet rift almost certain. Carrying a deal item adds 20 %. If you took a deal recently it shows up less often.

Price: 23 deals cost 1 heart container and 5 cost 2. On a 1-container deal Darkrai asks for 3 soul hearts instead 30 % of the time (never on items that give soul hearts). He won't sell you a deal that would leave you with no health.
