How to Unlock The Lost

A simple guide on unlocking a difficult yet rewarding character

The Walkthrough

The Lost is an extremely difficult yet rewarding character to use. I unlocked him first try and hopefully so will you after using this guide. To unlock The Lost you must die to specific attacks on differant floors with differant characters

1.
Isaac - You must die to a Mulliboom on the 1st or 2nd Floor.

2.
Magdalene - You must die to your own Bomb on the 3rd or 4th Floor

3.
Judas - This is when it starts becoming difficult! You must die to Mom on the 5th Floor

4.
Azazel - You must finally die to Satan on the optional 8th Floor

After all these deaths have occured consecutively you will see an unlock message appear after dying with Azazel showing the Lost being unlocked. I hope this helped and good luck!

Tips:
Isaac should be easy. You can use a seed to do this death!

Maggy is slightly more difficult but should be simple enough. You can use a seed for this death!

Judas is difficult since Judas has such low health so conserve it all. You can use a seed for this death!

Azazel is of course the most difficult, try and collect all kinds of hearts and hope for the best. DO NOT use a seed however as it will stop things from being unlocked.

Always conserve health when playing harder deaths, when it comes to the death point, lower your helth down by using a spike door or floor spikes then try and die first hit to the boss/enemy.

If you die once during this sequence you MUST start again!

Good luck!

you follow the steps on unlocking the lost, in rebirth, and don't have enough funds for afterbirth+. You then realize you need to PLAY the lost to unlock the mind, the soul, and godhead, and he is so hard to play without spectral tears, and holy mantle. so you wait until u have enough funds to buy afterbirth+ or drown yourself in the lost's tears, because rebirth lost is sorta like playing spelunky with a broken, finger
