Cult of the Lamb: How To Get Followers

This Cult of the Lamb guide explains how to get followers.

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.

So, let’s go over how to get followers in Cult of the Lamb

How To Get Followers in Cult of the Lamb

Growing your following is essential in Cult of the Lamb. When you start out, you only have one follower. And that isn’t enough to maintain your village or spread your cult’s influence.

This is how to get followers in Cult of the Lamb: More followers are gained by defeating the game’s mini-bosses and converting them. Followers also appear organically as you progress through the game.

When starting out, travel to Darkwood by going through the green door. Eventually you will reach your first mini-boss, defeat them and convert them into a follower.
