Ankh work with Lost?

[Jellojack]

Does it work with unlocking lost items?

Any item that turns you into another character does not work, as is stated in the wiki.

Only 1up and 9 lives work with the lost, every other respawn item changes your character

Guppy's collar might work as well, don't forget that one.

Ah yeah, sorry, this one is good too. But it's not reliable, it's like 50/50 chance that you will be respawned if you die.

Yup, but it does not screw you over in the sense of replacing your character, so it's safe to pick it up, also it's a Guppy item, which the lost relies on more than anything else in my opinion. That's all there is to it, really ;-)

untrue. guppy isnt really deciding to have on the lost, actually any "safe" clearing tool is, because bosses are easy to handle, if you can play good enough

Alright, thanks guys.

Aside of the Gnawed Leaf, Holy Mantle and Guppy there is not too much going on in terms of safety for the lost.

Some streamers I watched way back when actually kept their stats on spreadsheets. For the most part Guppy items along with the transformation have the most consistant and noteable impact on the odds of seeing it through.

But I definitly agree on the rooms being the major issue for Lost, most Bosses can be learned or "scammed", though the homing shots of the Lamb scare the hell out of me. Didn't get there with the Lost though, but I came pretty close yesterday...

The Boss Rush and Lamb is all I need for the Lost, I doubt I'll manage it until the buff for the Lost comes in Afterbirth.

The only thing I still need is the lamb... And, to be fair I seriously doubt that the Lost will become easier in the afterbirth expasion.

The Item pool is getting bigger, making some items less likely ro show up on a general scale, also, there are already many - and will be even more - items which the lost will not benefit from in any way shape or form.

With that in mind, spectral tears and the D4 are not gonna cut it as much as people expect. Spectral dears do nothing for you in the dark room, or during boss fights later on, the D4 might just as well screw you over entirely, which is the reason why I was polling against the D4 as a "buff" to the Lost. I wanted him to start with "there's options", but guess what, people didn't want to listen...

Also we know next to nothing about the new enemies, bosses and "levels" we will get to see. But it can be expected to become a bit harder in general, because some of the new bosses happen to have rather complex patterns, as far as we can trust the spoilers.

Ankh works with the Lost. Checked that myself (Afterbirth)

Of course the item works with the Lost, as well as all other extra-life effects. However, Ankh will turn into ??? (aka Blue Baby), so any unlock later in the run will be awarded to ??? and not the Lost.
(Nice necro by the way. )
