The binding of isaac: afterbirth

Notes[]

• Resurrection items like Dead Cat are very valuable to The Lost because they are the only health ups you can get.
• Devil deals, while free, still count as making a deal with the devil and will prevent angel rooms from opening. Thus, a Credit Card is still recommended, or getting Chaos

  Credit Card or Diplopia are even more valuable, as Devil Deals are now choices.

  to acquire angel room items (except broken key pieces).

• Isaac will be replaced by The Lost upon starting a third victory lap

  Since the Lost’s Holy Mantle isn’t intrinsic, the Victory Lap Lost will always die from one hit unless the player has explicitly found the Holy Mantle.

  ; however, Victory Laps do not allow the unlocking of achievements.

• If The Lost’s Holy Mantle effect is lost while within a Curse room, closing the game, starting it up and then continuing the run will restore the Holy Mantle’s charge, allowing The Lost to leave the room unharmed.
• Using the D4 at all is not recommended as it will remove the Holy Mantle, making The Lost die in one hit.
• The Lost’s Holy Mantle effect is intrinsic to the character once unlocked, and it can’t be rerolled.
• The Lost starts with Eternal D6, even before it’s unlocked.
• Holy Mantle is intrinsic, but picking up another one does not double the effect.
  • Being innate, this holy mantle effect is not shown in the HUD nor in the pause menu.
  • It also cannot be re-rolled away.
• After reaching Womb, The Lost becomes slightly easier to play, because the invincibility frames from Holy Mantle

  Holy Mantle breaking only grants one second of invincibility frames, regardless of the damage source.

  scale with the damage that would have been taken.

• Using the IV Bag will instantly kill The Lost

  Using a Blood Donation Machine will instantly kill The Lost as well.

  even with the Holy Mantle.

Ева

Если здоровье Евы опустится до одного сердца, активируется артефакт, повышающий количество наносимого урона и скорость передвижения. Второй арт (да, персонаж имеет аж две штуки одновременно) призывает в комнату птичку, которая будет атаковать всех врагов поблизости.

Порченная версия: пассивное умение Евы — призыв маленьких кровяных существ в обмен на половину красного сердца. Активировав активное умение, персонаж уничтожает кровяные сгустки и возвращает затраченные на них сердца. Если у Евы остался один стак здоровья, активируется режим «Усиленная блудница», в котором она использует «активку» в качестве ножа (в данном режиме все еще возрождаются кровавые самоны).

Как открыть: во время прохождения двух этажей подряд вы не должны поднимать сердца (для исцеления используйте Ням сердце (Yum Heart) или Книгу Откровений (Book of Revelations), а если сердца мешают пройти дальше, отталкивайте их при помощи бомб).

Trivia[]

• When The Lost’s unlock requirements were discovered through the use of data mining, Edmund McMillen and Tyrone Rodriguez both expressed their disappointment, considering it impatient and «like swallowing a hundred dollar steak in one bite».
• Right before the start of a run, some images appear to hint to unlocking The Lost, including the Missing Poster and The Lost itself.
• Dying in a Sacrifice Room while holding the Missing Poster would yield a puzzle piece on Isaac’s last will. These puzzle pieces, when put together, created the last wills of characters dying in the method used to unlock The Lost.
• Before version 1.02, The Lost would die if a run was exited then continued.
• When The Lost picks up an item, tarot card, or pill, you can see its arms that do not connect to its body.
• Internally, The Lost has half a soul heart, which is hidden behind a permanent Curse of the Unknown-like effect. The singular soul heart is why The Lost can «pick up» soul hearts, black hearts, and eternal hearts. There are no ways to increase this health, though, as The Lost’s health is constantly reset back to half a soul heart.
  • Devil deals appear as requiring three soul hearts each as The Lost technically only has half of an invisible soul heart. This is cosmetic only, as devil deals are still free.
  • The Lost can pick up soul hearts within the small timeframe of invincibility granted by Astral Projection after getting hit.
  • The Lost’s health is now visible on the HUD.
• A loading screen (when Isaac dreams) depicts the «Voice of God» telling Isaac’s Mom to kill her son as The Lost speaking to her from the attic.
• The Lost’s starting health is listed as «?» on the character selection screen.

Unlocking The Lost in Afterbirth[]

The Lost is unlocked by dying in a sacrifice room while holding Missing Poster.

• Looking for Mom’s Box in shops makes finding the poster easier.
• Glitter Bombs, in conjunction with a large enough or infinite source of bombs (such as a Gold Bomb

  This method got nerfed: Glitter Bombs now have a cap on drops per floor.

  ), have a small chance to drop trinkets, making it easier to find the poster.

• It is possible to unlock The Lost while holding Mysterious Paper, although the probability is small since it only has a 1/4 chance to imitate the Missing Poster. Dead Cat and other resurrection items could be useful for extra attempts.
• If Isaac happens to teleport away from the sacrifice room right as he dies, then he won’t unlock The Lost.
