How to unlock the Lazarus achievement in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Definitive Guide
To get this achievement you need to have at least 4 blue or black hearts on you.
Blue hearts are random, are lost first over normal hearts and cannot be refilled.
The easiest way to get the achievement is to do this after you unlock Azazel. Azazel starts with 3 black hearts so if you pick up any blue heart in the game before taking any damage (bosses give them out often) you will unlock him straight away.
Update - I have not fully tried this yet but as achievements for character unlocks can be done with seeds you can get this in the first room if you have Azazel. Use seed 57XRREZ3 and go up from the start, the first room should be a sacrafice room with a soul heart in giving you 4 total soul hearts.

An alternative method to unlock this is by picking up the PJ item as it gives you 6 blue hearts upon pickup
Note: This requires the Afterbirth dlc as this item is included in that dlc

For this you just need a total of 4 hearts that aren't red (so either the pale blue or black hearts, any combination of them) to appear after your red hearts on your health bar. You must have them all at one time as well. If you have 3 black hearts and get hit, losing a black heart, you'll need to collect 2 more in that same run (without taking more damage) to get the trophy, they do not "stack".
There is an orbital buddy you get who looks like a little black ghost, his description basically says he wants to steal your hearts or something like that. If you're lucky enough to find him, let him pick up every red heart you see drop. He will start turning your red hearts into pale blue ones. If you find him on a run that decides to give you a bunch of red health, you could have this trophy in the first level or so (I got it on Basement 2 after finding said buddy on the first floor). Everything is random so it's a little luck based, but it shouldnt take too long to find the right combo of items.
