You see, you can maintain a ritual to marry members of your flock, so inside seconds of recruiting him, I zoomed to the temple to see if we may tie the knot, each out of curiosity and since smooching all the smoochable issues in video video games is a private mission of mine. We had a stunning ceremony surrounded by my different 20 odd followers (to whom, in lots of situations, I used to be additionally married).
It’s a poetic irony on condition that your demonic powers, which let you tear by way of heretics, indoctrinate members of your cult and subjugate your followers with an iron will, have been granted by The One Who Waits in the first place. All the followers and energy you amass over the course of the recreation have been purported to be instrumental in restoring him to glory. But as a substitute, in the recreation’s regular ending, he finally ends up betrayed by his personal hand — or hoof, fairly.
Apart from a trait that stops him from dying of outdated age, The One Who Waits is rather like some other follower you can recruit in the recreation’s dungeons by defeating minibosses or indoctrinating misplaced souls. He ambles about the grounds, worships your effigy and attends sermons identical to his brothers and sisters in Lamb. These cult administration sim parts make up about half of the recreation, whereas the different half sees you combating by way of procedurally generated dungeons, chopping down followers of false gods and gathering assets to maintain your flock fed, wholesome and pious.
Marriage, of course, isn’t the solely endgame choice. If you’d fairly go the nonviolent route, you can forgo combating The One Who Waits altogether. At the recreation’s climax, you can decide to only go forward with the authentic phrases of your Faustian cut price and lay down your life, your blood spilled alongside that of dozens of followers killed in his title. After a immediate asking if you’re positive that you’re cool with being sacrificed, the recreation ends and the credit roll. Alternatively, if you resolve to combat, you can additionally select to homicide fairly than spare him.
But then you’d miss out on such a touching love story! I had so much of points with “Cult of the Lamb,” however its darkish sense of humor was not amongst them, and the potential to smooch the very demonic entity you’ve double-crossed is a becoming instance of that. First you work for god, then you combat god, then you bend god to your will and marry him — it’s a match made in heaven.
