This Cult of the Lamb guide explains how to bury a body.
Cult of the Lamb is the new rogue-like action-adventure game from Australian developers Massive Monster. Its unique cult-building premise, charming art-style, and aptly crazy story has skyrocketed it to the top of video game charts.
In the game, players control a lamb who is sacrificed by four heretic prophets. The lamb is then resurrected by a malevolent deity named “The One Who Waits” and instructed to start a cult in his honour.
The game interlaces rogue-like action sequences with village building akin to Animal Crossing. Along the way, players convert new followers to their cult and must maintain their faith and quality of life.
Faith is managed through a variety of cult traditions like rituals, sacrifice, worship, and issuing religious doctrine. All in all, it makes for a wonderfully unique and messed-up experience that’s hugely rewarding and addictive.
However, the game is quite complex and there’s a lot to wrap your head around. As a result, players have a lot of questions about how things work in Cult of the Lamb.
In the game, your cult followers age. When they get too old, they eventually die. They can also die from starvation, disease or murder.
Not only is the death a traumatic experience for your other followers, but the deceased also needs to be dealt with. If they’re left, the body will eventually rot and spread disease through your Cult. This can then lead to even more of your followers dying.
To avoid this, players need to bury bodies as quickly as possible. But the game doesn’t explain exactly how to do it. So, you need to figure it out for yourself.
Let’s go over how to bury a body in Cult of the Lamb…
How To Bury a Body in Cult of the Lamb
While the death of a loyal follower is never nice, you need to be on the ball when it comes to removing the body. Otherwise, it can have a huge negative impact on your Cult.
Thankfully, the process of burying a body is relatively quick and easy.
This is how to bury a body in Cult of the Lamb: When a follower dies, you must approach the corpse and select the ‘Prepare for Burial’ option. The body will then be wrapped like a mummy. Next, build a Body Pit and take the corpse over to it. Finally, stand over the grave and select ‘Bury Body’.
After a follower’s death, it’s a good idea to perform the Funeral ritual if you have it unlocked. This will give your Cult a big Faith boost.
And there you have it – now you know how to bury a body in Cult of the Lamb. However, it’s still best to avoid the death of followers wherever possible.
