Best Answer
The Lost is meant to be the most secret and elusive unlockable character in the new Binding of Isaac.
The short version, with just the instructions to unlock the character, is under the spoiler:
There's anyway a longer explanation tied to the character. The sequence of steps to unlock the Lost is not explained anywhere in the game and requires a long process to be discovered.
The puzzle pieces
The first step to the discovery starts with the Missing Poster trinket. This item apparently does nothing in terms of gameplay, but when dying in a Sacrifice Room (the empty ones with a single set of spikes at the center) while carrying it, you'll get a game over screen with a puzzle piece replacing the cause of death.
Solving the puzzles
There are 4 different puzzles and each one of them belongs to a different character. You can assign each piece to a different puzzle thanks to the little markers beside it:
These 4 puzzles, when completed, show the game over screen for the 4 characters and their cause of death. The task of the player, at this point, is to recreate these deaths with the appropriate characters.
Finding the Lost
Replicating the deaths is easier said than done. As said before, apparently it has to be done in a specific order to work and anything getting in the way resets the process. Some specifics are still unclear/being researched, but this are the best guesses at the moment:
If you manage to successfully complete this task, you'll be greeted with this screen:
and you'll have a new character waiting for you at the starting screen.
