The Lost are the main enemy type in The Evil Within 2.

Similar to The Haunted from the first game, these are formed after complete and rampant STEM domination of the denizens of Union, though most of them are created by accident rather than deliberately after STEM was destabilized by the removal of its Core, Lily Castellanos herself, following the actions of Theodore Wallace.

Description

In terms of behavior, the Lost are generally more feral and insane compared to the Haunted, and as such are prone to random fits of screaming and thrashing, even when idle. Their intelligence also varies quite wildly depending on the situation, as while most simply wander aimlessly until prey is sighted, others can play dead or hide under vehicles to catch their victims off guard. The Lost share their appetite for human flesh with the Haunted, though if a large enough amount of corpses is around, they will pile them up instead to facilitate the creation of a Guardian. Occasionally, shooting off certain limbs or even their heads may fail to kill off the Lost, who will promptly regenerate said damaged extremity and resume their attack.

The Lost slowly lose their humanity once infected, mutating and losing their rationality. This cumulates with a belief they are being pursued like prey by an invisible, inescapable force. Once they “succumb” to the “force”, their physical transformation begins rapidly, and they then adopt a predator-like need to hunt and feed. As there are no contamination-based ailments in STEM, this is entirely a breakdown on their mental psyche.

Types

The Lost do also possess several unique variants that, in addition to being aesthetically different, have their own characteristics distinct from their common brethren.

• Disciples: These are a variant of the Lost exclusive to areas controlled by Theodore Wallace.
• Gluttons: They do also have a rare explosive variant, which appear as large multi-limbed and vaguely humanoid creatures, who will quickly home in on a detected prey as soon as they become aware of its presence.
• Albedo: These only appear briefly in the game after the death of Theodore Wallace. They boast increased speed and are more malformed than their standard cousins. Albedo Lost's may brandish more than one hand on each arm and croak instead of roaring or shrieking.
• Hysteric: Screeching, knife-wielding female Lost who are faster and take slightly more damage than their regular brethren, and are usually seen wandering alone.
