My first Eden play my character looked just like what the lost looked like (except with some white hair), and could fly; that was cool. (ended up with an easy run too) | ||

Oh man, that's exactly why I don't even pick up Ankh, Judas's Shadow and Lazarus's Rags as The Lost. It's just gonna piss me off if I end up having a good run, but respawn as a different character and the achievement won't count. :D The Lost is a bitch. The whole game apart from The Lost took me 100 hours to complete (still haven't seen Black Lotus for some reason, the item seems incredibly rare). Now I'm at 143 hours, the 43 hours I've been playing as The Lost exclusively (by 'playing' I mean holding the R key pretty much) and I still have to beat Boss Rush with him... I was so close a couple of times. I had some insane item setups there, Guppy Brimstone, Brimstone Ludo, Polyphemus Pact Mark Scythes, but I still get hit by something... I think I'm gonna need something retarded like Holy Mantle + Stop Watch + huge damage to do it, or cheese it with Gnawed Leaf + an orbital/familiar... Also, I had Holy Mantle 5 times in the first item room as The Lost. One time I beat the Chest, the other time I threw by walking into a Blood Donation Machines and THREE FUCKING TIMES Haunt killed me in the first boss room... What a lovely game. :D | ||

Haunt can be dealt with quite safely as long as you stay away from the sides so that you don't get trapped. As far as I know, using that tactic will make it impossible or extremely unlikely to hit you. For the record an effective way to avoid his burst attack is to remain close to him before the shots can spread out much. Those haunt minions are the hardest part in my opinion, and those make sense to be a later-game enemy, because I think it may be impossible to not take damage against them if you have no damage upgrades due to them eventually narrowing into your position despite dodging them intentionally (I don't know if this is the case, I haven't tested enough; if I was to guess, it does seem possible to do without taking damage without any damage upgrades) A big problem with having to deal with haunt is if you have Ludovico technique and no shoot speed upgrades, but aside from that being a rare scenario, there's tons of other enemies and bosses that are also extremely rough with no-shot-speed Ludovico as well. | ||

 As for the ghosts. If you hug walls you can control their movement pretty easily in my experience. Usually if I do that I can get rid of one of the two in the second wave before the situation becomes dangerous but yeah, they are annoying little buggers. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/9V8BiAa.png) Finally got the fucking Boss Rush. Didn't even have an insane run, just regular tears, magic mush, a couple other small damage ups, guppy, 9 lives and a lucky Book of Shadows. The book of shadows probably won me the fight, I used it to kill Monstro 2 and Gish. I'm not ever going to touch that character again. I'm done with The Lost. | ||

EDIT: Did you beat Mega Satan? The only reason to do Mega Satan is for the ending and save file icon...it doesn't get you any unlocks or achievements, so I would think no to Mega Satan as The Lost. no pls. | ||
