AYM AND BAAL: Since they each speak only once in the entire game, their personalities are mostly unknown. It's clear that they're loyal to their master and that they don't take those going against him kindly. It also appears that Aym is more violent than Baal, at least judging by his dialogue.

As Relics of the Old Faith reveals, the two deeply love their mother, tearfully hugging her once reunited. Aym is cemented as the slightly more violent of the two, threatening to attack after being recruited and training to become a warrior after being reunited with his mother. Conversely, Baal is portrayed as the more level-headed of the two, actually thanking the Lamb for their service should he and his mother reunite.

At some point in the past, Shamura took away Baal and Aym from their mother to sacrifice them to The One Who Waits so that they could keep him company. When the two arrived in the void where The One Who Waits resides, the god of death decided to take the kits in as servants.

The two siblings appear whenever the Lamb finds themselves in front of The One Who Waits, although they never speak or do anything particular, and this includes the case in which the Lamb accepts to be sacrificed by the cruel god.

However, if the Lamb turns against The One Who Waits, Baal and Aym will respectively offer themselves to take care of the Lamb. Despite their powers, however, the two perish in battle.

Should the player have Relics of the Old Faith installed, however, this will not be the end of the twins. Within this new update, the Lamb finds themselves ascended to godhood status, and makes friends with an unnamed benefactor. This mystical seller will give the Lamb an assortment of goodies in exchange for God Tears, with two of these rewards being the Light and Dark Necklaces. Giving these necklaces to a Follower before sacrificing them will cause Baal or Aym to appear instead, respectively.

From there, the pair are servants to the Lamb, joining their cult and becoming Followers. While the Lamb could keep them around, they could instead take them on a crusade, where they can potentially reunite with their mother Forneus. Upon seeing her, the two immediately rush to her in tears, and Forneus gives the Lamb two Relics in her gratitude.

Should the Lamb return to Forneus, they will find that Baal and Aym have disappeared once more. Speaking to their mother reveals that Baal wished to go globe trotting while Aym started training to become a warrior. Additionally, the duo can be randomly encountered on a crusade, thanking the Lamb for what they have done.

Baal is the faithful servant of The One Who Waits, and the son of Forneus, who was forced to give him and his brother, Aym, away at the behest of the dark god. Since then, he has been faithfully serving his master as one of his guardians and must be fought before the final boss battle with The One Who Waits.

After defeating Baal, the Lamb will have to face Aym. He is a semi-stationary miniboss that will only attack with rings of fireballs or chain patterns, teleporting before every attack as his only way of repositioning. Unlike his brother, he will not summon enemies to fight with him but will telegraph his attacks at random all the same.

Aym is the faithful servant of The One Who Waits, and the son of Forneus, who was forced to give him and his brother, Baal, away at the behest of the dark god. Since then, he has been faithfully serving his master as one of his guardians and must be fought before the final boss battle with The One Who Waits.

Upon the defeat of The One Who Waits, it is possible to obtain him as a follower by using the ritual Sacrifice of the Flesh on a follower wearing the Dark Necklace. He can be returned to Forneus for the Tears of the Merciful Mother Relic. Note that you cannot get him back afterwards as he stays with her. After returning them to Forneus, He and Baal can be found in a random encounter during crusades, where they will speak with the lamb.

Aym is a dark-grey (almost black) cat, with red arms and legs. He has red scleras with black pupils, while his right eye has a white sclera and a light-grey pupil, because it was injured, and it has a scar across the eye. He wears a black robe with red hems and an opening in the middle, and it is shown having two layers, with red upside-down crosses on each side. what keeps it closed is a skull button on the top, and on the bottom it seems to be torn from all his past battles. His face is covered by a veil made of black thread.

Baal is a dark-grey (almost black) cat, with red arms and legs. He has red scleras with black pupils. He wears a white robe with an opening in the middle, and it is shown having two layers, with one black upside-down cross on each layer. what keeps it closed is a black heart button on the top, and on the bottom it seems to be torn from all his past battles. His face is covered by a veil made of black thread. He also has a red flower on the side of his robe.

Both Baal and Aym have an average body type. Not buff, not slim, not chubby, just average.

LESHY (the youngest sibling): Leshy is one of the main antagonists of the 2022 roguelike action-adventure game Cult of the Lamb. He is a Bishop of the Old Faith, the ruler of Darkwood and the Deity of Chaos.

Leshy is shown to be an arrogant individual, clearly thinking high of himself and his power. He also can be quite mocking.

Much like the other Bishops, he doesn't seem to care too much about his followers, being ready to have them sacrifice themselves for him and accidentally killing many others during his transformation.

He despises The One Who Waits, but seeing how he calls him "dear brother" as a follower, it's implied that he still has some care for him despite everything.

Sometime in the past, Leshy found his crown among camellia flowers in Darkwood. Bargaining with the Mystic Seller and helped by his siblings, he was able to become a god.

Alongside his siblings, Leshy ruled over the Lands of the Old Faith. When his brother Narinder grew ambitious and power-hungry, he and the other Bishops sealed him away, which resulted in Leshy's eyes being wounded.

When Narinder (now known as The One Who Waits) started sending vessels against them, Leshy and the others killed them one by one (except for Ratau, who was unsuccessful in his task) and killed all the lambs in the Lands to prevent a prophecy foretelling The One Who Waits' return. However, killing the last lamb has them end up directly to The One Who Waits, who revives them and grants them incredible powers.

Leshy eventually decides to directly face the Lamb after he has some of his cultists sacrifice themselves to empower himself. Despite this, he beats the lamb.

I believe that Leshy is a herbivore, and only eats plants, because of how he ate a flower. I also think he has a small case of ADD, because of how hes easily distracted by a butterfly.

Leshy resembles a bagworm larva with a round head covered in thick green leaves. Several thin black branches protrude from either side of his head like horns. His eye had been gouged out by The One Who Waits, thus the socket is covered by a set of thick, bloodstained bandages wrapped around his head. Black ichor can be seen oozing out from beneath the bandages. Like the other bishops, Leshy wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that covers the rest of his body, during his transformation, however, we are able to see two black, tuft covered legs. His crown bears two sharp points and a green, diamond-shaped eye.

HEKET (the second youngest): Heket has almost two different personalities depending on who she's addressing, for others, she's mean and merciless. For her siblings, she is respectful and kind, unless she's aggravated.

Heket comes off as the Bishop who is the most directly hostile towards the Lamb, continuously insulting them and being the first Bishop to directly act against their followers. The fact that people sacrificed to Heket also go through a fate worse than death (as in, fused with giant mushrooms, still alive) seems to imply that's she overall the most cruel of the Bishops.

Much like the other Bishops, she doesn't seem to care too much about her followers, being ready to have them sacrifice themselves for her and accidentally killing many others during her transformation. She does however care for her siblings, being furious when Leshy is killed and not wanting to bother Shamura too much due to their head injury.

She despises The One Who Waits for his treachery.

As a follower of the Lamb, Heket is barely able to speak at all, but she seems to have maintained at least some of her disliking for the Lamb.

Sometime in the past, Heket bargained with the Mystic Seller and became a goddess.

Alongside her siblings, Heket ruled over the Lands of the Old Faith as one of the last remaining gods. When her brother Narinder grew ambitious and power-hungry, she and the other Bishops sealed him away, which resulted in Heket's throat being slit.

When Narinder (now known as The One Who Waits) started sending vessels against them, Heket and the others killed them one by one (except for Ratau, who was unsuccessful in his task) and killed all the lambs in the Lands to prevent a prophecy foretelling The One Who Waits' return. However, killing the last lamb has them end up directly to The One Who Waits, who revives them and grants them incredible powers.

When the Lamb enters Darkwood, Heket and Kallamar are eventually warned of this by Leshy. Heket decides to not bother Shamura about this and orders Leshy to deal with the Lamb. Leshy however ends up being killed, much to Heket's anger, who casts famine upon the Lamb's followers before she and Kallamar ask advice to Shamura, who however isn't of much help due to their damaged brain.

Heket is a red toad [2] with four eyes that have black sclera and red, cross-shaped pupils. She has several cross-like protrusions sticking out from her head, and she wears a three-pointed crown with a yellow, upside-down triangular eye. Like the other Bishops, Heket wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that covers the rest of her body. What appear to be two black hands can be seen emerging from her robe, holding it closed. Her throat is wrapped in bandages, as it was slit by The One Who Waits, with some of the bandaging hanging down her back like a scarf.

KALLAMAR (the second oldest): While first acting arrogant, Kallamar is soon revealed to actually be the most cowardly among the Bishops, being the one to fear The One Who Waits the most and begging the Lamb to spare his life, going as far as putting all the blame on the other Bishops and begging the Lamb to kill Shamura instead of him.

As a follower, he is arguably the most amicable Bishop since, unlike Leshy and Heket (and, to some extent, The One Who Waits), he doesn't complain at all nor shows any hostility towards the Lamb (which is likely due to him being a coward and thus preferring to join the Lamb rather than going against them). That being said, he does show some slight arrogance, acting as if he still is an important person and considering his temple to be the most good-looking one.

Sometime in he past, Kallamar bargained with the Mystic Seller and became a god.

Alongside his siblings, Kallamar ruled over the Lands of the Old Faith as one of the last remaining gods. When his brother Narinder grew ambitious and power-hungry, he and the other Bishops sealed him away, which resulted in Kallamar's ears to be wounded.

Kallamar appears to be a cyan squid with a split open mouth filled with rows of teeth. His eyes have black sclera with red slits for pupils, and he appears to have a scar running across the skin surrounding his left eye. There are two pairs of cross-like protrusions appearing from his head, and he wears a cone-shaped crown that has a blue, circular eye. Both of his ears have been scarred by The One Who Waits and are covered by bandages. Like the other bishops, Kallamar wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that covers the rest of his body. His body appears more lumpy underneath his robes compared to the other bishops, possibly being hidden tentacles.

SHAMURA (the oldest): While Shamura is ready to have their followers or others sacrificed and is just as responsible for the genocide the Lamb's kind and the tyranny of the Old Faith as the other Bishops, they surprisingly come out as the nicest among their siblings, sympathizing with the Lamb various times during their interactions with them. They're also the only Bishop who's shown to still care for The One Who Waits and the only one to express regret for having chained him away. They're also the only Bishop who has made peace with the fact that the Lamb is going to kill them, although that doesn't stop them from fighting before going down. As an undead, they also seem to accept their fate as punishment for their actions.

Shamura is non binary, they/them prononuns.

Shamura was once the wisest among their siblings, but after The One Who Waits damaged their head, they lost most of their knowledge. Due to this, they now mostly speak through weird prophecies, sometimes even repeating themselves due to short-term memory.

As a follower, their memory gets even worse than before. It's also worth mentioning that upon being recruited, they will immediately start dissenting, which makes sense given they used to be the Deity of War.

Sometime in the past, Shamura found their crown in one of their webs and began bargaining with the Mystic Seller and became a deity (although, as said by the Mystic Seller themselves, the two of them didn't barter much since Shamura ultimately needed little from the Mystic Seller).

Alongside their siblings, Shamura ruled over the Lands of the Old Faith as one of the last remaining gods. At some point, they introduced the ideas of change to their brother Narinder. Due to this and him growing discontent with his role and ambitious, Shamura and the other Bishops sealed him away, which resulted in Shamura's head to be wounded.

At some point, they sacrificed two kits so that Narinder (now known as The One Who Waits) wouldn't be alone.

"Five becomes four becomes three becomes two becomes one becomes nothing."

A sentence often repeated by Shamura.

Shamura is a purple spider with four eyes of black sclera and red slit pupils, as well as two large fangs appearing from their mouth. Two pairs of cross-like protrusions emanate from their head, and they wear a crown with a concave top and a purple, crescent-shaped eye. Shamura's skull was split by The One Who Waits and is wrapped in bandages, covering their exposed brain. When they lose their bandages, their crown appears to be reaching into their brain, using vein-like apparatuses. Like the other bishops, Shamura wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that hides the rest of their body.

NARINDER: Narinder has dark gray [almost black] fur, three eyes with red sclera and pupils and black irises, and two tall and pointed ears. His crown has two curved ears and a red eye, but he does not wear this for long as he gives it to The Lamb. The Lamb agrees to be his vessel. His face is covered by a veil made of black thread, similarly to his disciples, Aym and Baal, and the Knucklebones players Flinky, Klunko, and Shrumy.

After the Lamb defeats him, he shrinks to the same size of the Lamb, though he keeps his head shape and two of his eyes while his third eye remains closed. He wears a grey ragged shirt, the same as the other non-recruited followers. His eyes have white sclera, black irises, and white pupils as followers.

Sometime in the past, The One Who Waits bargained with the Mystic Seller and became a god.

Back when he was still known as Narinder, The One Who Waits was the fifth Bishop of the Old Faith and ruled alongside his siblings as one of the last remaining gods in the Lands of the Old Faith. However, as centuries went by, he grew ambitious due to growing discontent with his role and beginning to question, as well as having been introduced to the ideas of change by his sibling Shamura. Furthermore, as explained by Shamura once they’re healed, Narinder’s gifts of immortality would make them popular with the mortals, granting them more followers and strength beyond their siblings’s bounds. Because of this, the other Bishops chained him in another realm, though they were all horribly wounded in the process.

In the attempt to obtain revenge against his siblings and be free once more, The One Who Waits sent various vessels against his siblings, all using the power of his Red Crown, and all failing. At some point, Forneus' children, Baal and Aym, were sacrificed to him by Shamura, and he raised them to be his servants.

When the last lamb in the Lands was killed, The One Who Wait made sure that they would reach him in the realm serving as his prison, promising the Lamb to revive them and grant them incredible power in exchange for the latter making a cult in his name. After the Lamb accepted, The One Who Waits gave the Lamb the Red Crown, making him into his new vessel.

Unlike the previous wearers of the Red Crown, the Lamb was successful in the task of killing the Four Bishops. However, when the time to return the Red Crown to The One Who Wait came, the latter kidnapped the Lamb's flock and revealed that he intends to sacrifice the Lamb to reach true freedom, and asks them to return the crown and accept their fate.

If the Lamb does return the Red Crown, The One Who Waits breaks free from himself and brutally kills the Lamb, before presumably doing the same with the rest of the flock. Should the Lamb however refuse, The One Who Waits becomes furious and, after his two servants fail to kill the Lamb, he breaks free and attempts to end them himself, even taking a monstrous form as the fight goes on. Once the Lamb defeats him, The One Who Waits loses his divinity, asking whether they will be vengeful or merciful towards them, and pointing out that the Lamb can no longer blame him for their actions.

If the Lamb decides to kill him, The One Who Waits remarks how they are no different from him before finally being killed. If the Lamb instead decides to spare him, The One Who Waits will freak out before being sent back to the Lamb's base. From here on, he will serve the Lamb as one their followers, and though no longer a god, he is still immortal.

If previously killed by the Lamb, The One Who Waits will eventually be brought back to life by the Mystic Seller after the latter defeats the Bishops a second time, meaning he inevitably ends up as a follower of the Lamb either way.

Narinder is uncaring, calculating, and treacherous, as evidenced by his willingness to try to kill his own siblings and the Lamb that faithfully served him. He sees the Lamb and the cultists as nothing more than tools to meet his ends.

He takes joy in seeing what cruelty the Lamb is capable of, complimenting their ruthlessness in crusades, in sacrificing followers, or in selling Ratau out to a murderer.

He feels entitled to his powers and the Red Crown, taking offense if the Lamb should defy his "divine right," him having given the Lamb his crown only out of necessity. When he is defeated and robbed of his powers, he continues to berate the Lamb. Should the Lamb spare Narinder's life, he will call them a coward before yelling at them not to recruit him, his ego bruised by the prospect of servitude.

As a follower, he keeps a somewhat callous personality and finds ways to insult the Lamb over minor things. However, his subsequent quests show he might have a softer side (which he denies, when brought flowers after contemplating the death of Leshy).

The One Who Waits acts cordial towards the Lamb, even if a bit imperative. However, this kindness is a mere act as he's actually a violent and power-hungry god who's willing to sacrifice the Lamb for his own freedom, and becomes absolutely furious if the Lamb refuses to return the Red Crown to him. However, when the Lamb makes him into their follower, The One Who Waits will grow genuine respect for them.

He doesn't seem to care much about the vessels that worked under him before the Lamb, even complimenting the Lamb if the latter sacrifices Ratau to the Red Fox because the old rat was "weak". He also doesn't care for his attendants Baal and Aym.

He also clearly despises his siblings, although he does seem to like Leshy's realm. It's also shown that, despite everything, he still holds some genuine care for Shamura, and as a follower he asks the Lamb if his sibling wept when they died and if they knew it was their end, and becomes oddly quiet if the spider silk (which, in his own words, reminds him of Shamura) is given to him, seemingly showing he does at least feel some remorse for what he did to them.

LAMB:In here, the lamb is a loving, caring, kind person. even though he has a bad side, which causes some to fear him, though those who fear him are mostly the ones who weren't in the cult.

Because the faith of the followers must be managed carefully, it is necessary to meet their needs. This can include making sure they are well-fed, are given the proper healthcare when they get sick, given blessings to make them happier, or by giving sermons and performing certain rituals that can improve happiness and other needs. The Lamb can also provide better living conditions by building and upgrading sleeping bags and outhouses. More malevolent acts the Lamb can perform include simply denying the needs of the followers, sacrificing a follower during a ritual, putting an innocent follower in prison (though this act is much more justified in the case of a dissenter), sending others on missions where their chance of survival is dangerously low, forcing someone to eat a bowl of excrement, other cultists, or even straight-up poison that has a high chance of killing them, screeching at them with a scary face to force them to work harder, force them to fight to the death, or even murder them on the spot (if other followers are awake to see that is).

If the player chooses, the Lamb can also do side quests for followers, which may include gathering specific resources, rescuing a loved one during a crusade, requesting a specific meal (which for some reason includes a Bowl of Poop), or even asking the lamb to marry them. Successfully performing these side quests will greatly increase a follower's loyalty, but denying the quest altogether will diminish faith. However followers may make more malevolent requests such as asking the lamb to prank, imprison, or even kill other cultists.

Some of the Lamb's personality traits can be inferred through their body language in certain interactions, though this is up to interpretation. One example is that when the lamb is angry: their eyes will turn red and they will suddenly grow fangs and start loudly wailing. This happens when intimidating a follower, fighting the final boss, or simply being a sore loser over a game of Knucklebones. During a game of Knucklebones, the Lamb will also pout and roll their eyes when one of their dice is eliminated.

The Lamb also has a few occasions where they can be seen crying. These instances include the moment before their execution at the start of the game, when they try and fail to save Ratau from the Fox if the player agrees to sacrifice the former to the latter, and when they are deciding whether or not to surrender the red crown to The One Who Waits, knowing that accepting means that they will die.

The Lamb is also capable of being loving towards their followers. The Lamb can show affection to followers by blessing them, inspiring them, petting them (If they're dogs), giving them gifts or money, or even marrying them and giving them kisses. The Lamb can even feed them meals that, although they typically require more resources, are higher quality and tastier than the simpler ones or even throw massive feasts for them. They can build decorations for the followers to admire, as well as high-end houses for them to sleep in. They can also build healing bays where they can nurse their ill followers back to health using Camellia flowers.

There's also a subtle indicator that they dislike when one of their followers pass away. The Lamb usually has a smile on their face and seems happy to be running the cult. However, they frown whenever they are carrying the corpse of a follower. This could be interpreted as a sad frown, or simply a frown of exertion from carrying the heavy body of a follower, as the Lamb is forced to walk slowly and is unable to run or roll when doing so.

The Lamb is a small anthroprimorphic sheep with white wool, dark grey face, limbs, and ears, and tiny red horns. Their large black eyes feature horizontal pupils. On top of their head is the Red Crown, an object of great power that is black in color with two pointed prongs and a crimson eye in the center. Around the lamb's neck is a black collar with a golden bell dangling from it. By default, they wear a red cape known as their "fleece", which can come in other colors such as gold, green, purple, white, blue, and pink/gray after unlocking certain requirements.

GOAT: Similar to The Lamb, The Goat's true personality is typically left up to the player. However, we can see from most sprites and reactions that The Goat is shown to be more mischievous and angry compared to the more innocent smile The Lamb constantly shows. Based on the Unholy Alliance Update trailer, we see The Goat is much more aggressive than The Lamb, throwing them aside and instantly taking the attackers out with a single swing.

Despite this, they are still shown to care for The Lamb's cult, showing a happier attitude towards the Followers whenever they perform actions such as bless or inspire. It is never made clear whether The Goat is genuine, as they are constantly shown with an evil smile, even when performing simple tasks like fishing or constructing the cult.

The Goat has a purple cape covering their body, which is also known as The Goat's fleece. They have twin horns that curve at the end, and are brown-orange in color. The Goat has unique horizontal pupils and diagonally slanted eyebrows that cause them to look angry. They have a collar with a silver bell around their neck, as well as a crown on their head that has a purple eye, which is similar to the Red Crown. Their fur is a dark gray-brown color, with their skin being light brown-grey. Their ears are a bit floppy, pointing down naturally. The Goat's fur also appears shaggier and spikier than The Lamb's, likely because of the species difference.

SOZO: Sozo is a gray ant with red patterns under his eyes and on his forehead. He has two pairs of long arms and one pair of long legs, with a large backpack behind his back. A couple of red mushrooms are growing from his tuft coat; the biggest one with a smiley face is protruding from Sozo's head, and, likely, his brain.

Sozo is a "specialist in mushroom research" and a leader of a small mushroom cult, residing in Spore Grotto. The cult consists of Mushroom Followers, known as Mushroomos, who collect Menticide Mushrooms for Sozo's addiction to these fungi.

The Lamb can get 1 Holy Talisman Shard from Sozo, if 10 Menticide Mushrooms are brought to him on request. Sozo will then be ready to teach The Lamb the Brainwashing Ritual, for 20 more mushrooms, and on task completion pledges his loyalty to The Lamb, constructing a small shrine for them. The Lamb also receives blueprints for the Mushroom Sculpture, which depicts a giant split mushroom with a Sozo statue inside it.

Some time after completing his final quest, if The Lamb returns to Sozo's house, he will be found dead on the floor with the mushroom on his head split in half. You can harvest the Seed of Sozo from his head afterwards, which when grown on a Farm Plot, brings him back as a smaller being.

From this point onwards, Sozo becomes a permanent follower, but your actions when talking to him affects how he will look.

RATAU: Ratau is a brown rat that is missing his left eye and a section of his left ear. He wears a green jacket, red plaid scarf, and a paper hat with a triangle symbol that has a line horizontally through the middle. This same symbol appears on his forehead. He carries a stick staff that has two leaves growing out of it and has been bandaged a few times.

Ratau used to be a vessel like the Lamb, but failed somewhere along the way. He guides the Lamb to safety after they are resurrected by The One Who Waits. Albeit seeming like a nice person, Ratau is desperate to help free the One Who Waits, and will get angry if the Lamb decides that they do not need assistance. Despite these conditions, Ratau is still able to teach the Lamb about saving followers and devotion. After teaching them the basics of running a Cult, he retires to the Lonely Shack, where he plays Knucklebones with The Lamb, Flinky, Shrumy, and Klunko & Bop.

Despite being a loyal servant of The One Who Waits, Ratau comes off as a kind and affable individual. He's always ready to help the Lamb and is shown to also have a good relationship with his own friends.

Ratau is shown to really like the game called "Knucklebones", seemingly not wanting to do anything but play it for the rest of his life.

Ratau seems to also actively regret having failed The One Who Waits in the past, and him having a replica of the Red Crown implies that he'd wish to go back to being his vessel. However, despite having been a cult leader in the past and helping the Lamb with their own cult, Ratau is ultimately less ruthless than the latter, having left his own cult in the first place because he was forced to sacrifice someone.

He seems to despise the Red Fox, even calling him a "murderer". As for the Lamb, Ratau genuinely cares about them and considers them a friend.

Years before the events of the game, Ratau was chosen by The One Who Waits to wear the Red Crown and lead a cult in his name. After being forced to sacrifice a follower, however, Ratau decided to abandon his cult, although he didn't fully stop serving The One Who Waits. During his time as a cult leader he also met the Red Fox, and while the details aren't clear it's possible that he was the cause of Ratau having to sacrifice someone.

Years later, The One Who Waits sent Ratau to assist the Lamb, which he did by leading them to The One Who Waits' temple and giving them some advice, before retiring to his shack to play Knucklebones with his friends.

Should the Lamb complete all the missions given by the Red Fox, Ratau will be sacrificed to the latter. If the Lamb returns to his shack, they will find a his letter, which reveals that Ratau genuinely considered the Lamb a friend.

HELOB: Helob is a large spider with a fluffy purple body, with three pairs of thin limbs sticking out from the sides and one pair of legs on the bottom. Loose bones stick out from his fur, and he appears to have a stinger on top of both his head and his body. He lurks in the forests of the world, trapping potential converts for the Lamb's cult with giant spider webs and eating them if not saved.

Helob is a spider who eats followers, but he is willing to give them to you for 0-50 Coin Coins. The cost depends on the follower's condition (Cost will be lowered for sick, elderly, dissenting, and hungry followers.) but he may occasionally give out followers for free, remarking that the Lamb "must hunger muchly" or that a particular follower "doesn't look tasty." His shop is found on the map and its icon will show a shop icon with the follower symbol underneath it. There is a follower that can be bought in the shop and breaking props will give you Bones and Follower Meat.

After Anura has been visited, he will set up shop outside your cult by the door to Silk Cradle. While most of these followers will almost always have to bought for the full price, 50 Coin Coins, Helob will occasionally give away free followers. Only one follower can be bought per day here.

Upon purchasing at least 3 followers from Helob during dungeon encounters (followers bought outside the Cult's HQ will not count), he will give you the Fervour's Host tarot card for being his "number one customer."

After defeating The One Who Waits, he will double his prices in front of your cult.

Despite being a mass kidnapper and devourer of sentient beings, Helob is shown to have a genuinely affable personality, always acting kind with the Lamb and even occasionally making discounts or giving his captives away for free.

It's unknown why Helob is so fond of the Lamb exactly, but judging by how he interacts with them he seems to think that the Lamb eats the people that they buy from him, which seems to imply that Helob sees the Lamb as his equal instead of food, possibly because they're wearing the Red Crown.

He's afraid of the Mystic Seller.

Not much is known about Helob's backstory aside from him starting his little activity in the past.

He can be met just outside of the door leading to Silk Cradle after having explored Anura, and can also be randomly met during crusades.

NARINDER: The One Who Waits Come closer. Fear not, for though you are already dead, I still have need of you. Those foolish Bishops thought they could keep you from me in death. But instead they sent you straight to me. I will give you LIFE again, but at a PRICE! All I ask is for you to start a Cult in my name. Do we have a deal? The Lamb ["Yes." or "Absolutely."] The One Who Waits Wise choice... Take the Red Crown which I once wore. With it you shall command the loyalty of Followers and strike fear into the hearts of our enemies. Return to the land of the living, start a Cult in my name, and begin recruiting Followers. Once you have done so, you will see me again. Now, GO! Player's first death "Fear not, for you are my chosen vessel and death cannot halt you. I shall not allow it, for I still have need of you. Take what you have gathered. Build and strengthen the Cult. This is how power is gained. Continue on, undaunted. Each time you are brought down, you rise again stronger."

Player's second death "Death is of little consequence. Rise once more, vessel of mine. It matters not how many times you are struck down. The Cult shall continue to grow."

Amdusias beaten "Very good, my vessel. It seems I chose well when I kept you from Death. I will be watching your every move. Do not disappoint me."

3rd Crusade ends "Do not make the mistake of becoming the servant of your Followers. They are for you to use to your advantage! Their faith is a resource, spend it as you would gold. For you can always regain their trust with a well placed gesture of kindness. Let it empower you, let it give you license to do unspeakable things. Bend them to your will. I grand you the power to read their feeble little minds."

[The One Who Waits gives you the "Read Mind" command]

5th Crusade ends "You see me here in chains, reduced to nothing. But it has not always been thus. I was bound to this wretched place by the Bishops of the Old Faith. They betrayed me and left me to rot. Each of the four chains that bind me are guarded by one of the Bishops. Destroy the Bishops and you break the chain. Break all four and I will be freed. I gave you life anew, vessel, and now you must repay the debt. You know what must be done. To defeat the Bishops you will need to become stronger. Sacrifice a follower to absorb more power - this will aid you in your quest to free me."

[The One Who Waits unlocks the Sacrifice of the Flesh ritual]

Completed the last quest of the Fox (must happen before defeating The One Who Waits) "So, you fed Ratau to the wolves. Your treacherous opportunism has far exceeded my expectations. Ratau was an adequate servant, yet lacked the ruthlessness you have so eloquently displayed. He renounced his position after striking a bargain that resulted in the sacrifice of a Follower. He was weak, and allowed my Temple to descend into ruin. I see that is not a problem you share. I sent Ratau to aid you, but this pleases me greatly. A great Vessel takes their master's will as their own. Very well done."

Leshy beaten "Leshy fell before you like a grain of sand before a tidal wave."

4th Crusade ends "Vessel, do you not worship me? Do you not give offerings in hopes of gaining my favor? When you return to your Cult you shall find a new Offering Chest. There you can provide offerings that I, in my generosity, shall turn to gold, so that you might strengthen the Cult. But I am not easily satisfied. The same gift offered too frequently will cause the price to be lowered. Yet fear not - over time it will grow in value once more. Give me proper tribute and you shall be rewarded."

Heket beaten "I enjoyed watching you destroy Heket. Her arrogance was always destined to be her undoing. Your merciless crusade against the Old Faith warms my cold, unbeating heart."

Kallamar beaten "Kallamar was always a coward. This land is a better place now his pathetic, sniveling carcass is nothing more than a mound of rotting flesh. Soon I shall be freed, and the world remade in my image. All will pledge themselves to the Cult. All will bow to my name."

Shamura beaten "Shamura was weak, not wise. Their vision was too small to contain the multitudes of one such as I. The time has come to free me. You shall have the honour of returning the Red Crown to its true bearer. I admit, you have worn it almost as well as I could have myself. "

(If the player allowed followers to starve to death) "You allowed [number of followers] followers to starve to death, because you knew they were barely worth the food they were fed." (If the player did not kill followers outside Sacrifice of the Flesh and Ascend Follower Ritual) "You sacrificed [number of sacrifices] followers to strengthen the Cult - to strengthen us." (If the player murdered followers) "You murdered [number of murders] followers in cold blood. I believe you enjoyed it." "Your appetite for death is something I can admire, Vessel. But the Crown is mine, and none - NONE - are worthy. None other than I. You shall lay down your life and return to me what is mine. After millennia, all may bask in my glory once more. But it cannot be done here. The final gate awaits. Hurry now, the time is at hand."

The Gateway "Vessel, I relinquish you from your service to the Red Crown. Return it to me, and embrace the end that awaits. With this last sacrifice of my most devoted Follower, I will be freed. Finally... I will be FREE! Approach, vessel, and lay your life down at my feet."

(Kneel) The Lamb kneels. The Red Crown returns to The One Who Waits, and the Lamb is lifted up into the air, where their limbs begin to snap one by one, until finally, they die and their body is thrown on the ground. (Refuse) "So you have betrayed me, Lamb. You have shunned my gospel, and claimed yourself a false idol. The crown is mine by divine right! You think to stand in the very face of death?"

Baal: "Master! Allow me. I will give this wretch a taste of your wrath."

Aym: "I will take care of this beast, master. I will cut that crown from its HEAD!"

Boss battle (Start of first stage) "Even after I have slaughtered you, your pain will not end. You cannot escape me, even in death."

(End of first stage) "Did you believe me defeated? Did you think that to be all there was to a being such as I? You thought yourself above a GOD"

(Start of second stage) "You are corrupt, false idol. Your corruption has no doubt spread."

(After being defeated) "You have supplanted me. A vessel no more, instead a crown bearing deity. Damned Lamb! I am at your mercy, are you to be a vengeful false idol, or a merciful coward? No longer can you blame your vile acts on me."

(Spare) "You weak, snivelling, foul thing. You - wait! Waaaiiiiiiit!" (Murder) "So, you are no different to me after all. You have become as I am." Given by ??? (If murdered) (??? brings out Narinder.)

"What is this? Lamb!"

"You have brought me here to continue my eternal punishment? Revel in my shame? Damned Lamb!"

(Narinder is indoctrinated.)

Bringing Aym and Baal back In addition, if you have brought Baal and Aym back from Sacrifice of the Flesh, he will have additional dialogue when he requests to talk to you.

"Hmf. Baal and Aym? I did not take them. They were given."

"Intended as keepers, perhaps, but they were young and in need of guidance. Must I be blamed for my influence?"

"Salvaged from the void, they are yours now. Do what you wish, scornful God. I care not for them."'

Returning the Relic to all 4 ex-Bishops After returning the relics to Leshy, Heket, Kallamar and Shamura, he will ask the lamb to follow him to where the purgatory is in the middle of the crusade map. with the aforementioned followers standing nearby.

You will be rewarded his claw (Relic) as a reward.

"It was here the bishops cast the chains that bound me. Where they condemned me to be forgotten. To rot."

"I will not bore you with some long speech of betrayal, or accusations over whose sins were greater."

"Millenia have passed. The world moves on. You have ensured this."

"We have been usurped and changed. Death is but a change, after all. You and I know this."

"Lamb. Your work has been.... adequate. Here."

Unique follower thoughts Envious of the Lamb: I would run this Cult so much better!

No Longer Chained: To go where I please... move without burden... I'm glad.

Lay in the Sun: Ahh... I feel... sleepy...

Full of Energy: I have the sudden urge to run around.

Admired the Lamb: I suppose they are a competent Leader... and fluffy...

Lost in the Past: Years gone by... if things had been different...

Cult has New Member: Yet another Follower for the Lamb, hm?

Fallen From Grace: What has become of me?

AYM AND BAAL: Recruiting Follower Baal: "Master! Aym? What is this place?"

Baal: "So much color... so many creatures..."

Baal: "...master?"

After Returning Them to Forneus:

Baal: "It's you. Usurper of the Red Crown. The one who freed us."

Aym: "Ha! You are nothing compared to our Master. We have not been in this world long, but already I can tell you are weak. You lack discipline. Our Master wielded Death with precision and control. You allow chaos to reign."

Baal: "What my brother means to say is thank you."

Recruiting Follower Aym

Aym: "Back! Stay back! I will slice your belly open! I will cut that crown from your head!"

Aym: "What foul place is this? Moments ago I was... I was..."

SHAMURA: “ Five becomes four becomes three becomes two becomes one becomes nothing. ”

— Shamura, referring to the Bishops

Shamura: "Five becomes four becomes three becomes two becomes one becomes nothing. Kallamar was always frightened of the Red Crown. Yes, fear made a coward of him. My door is the next to be knocked upon. Knock, knock, the Lamb comes to raze, end of days, end of days."

Shamura: "He waits by the rocks of the darkened sea, at the foot of the long, sudden drop. Within the maw of pointed-teeth beasts, the stutter of the heart, then stopped… He was the fifth. The fifth Bishop of the Old Faith. Our brother, The One Who Waits. Back then he was known by the name Narinder. But as millennia wore on, he grew discontent with his role. He began to question. He was gluttonous in his ambition. And in my imprudence I loved him. For it, I lost my mind. For it, he lost his freedom. Can you fathom such betrayal, Lamb? Of your own turned against you? Would you like to find out? He was the fifth. The fifth Bishop of the Old Faith. Our brother, The One Who Waits. Back then he was known by the name Narinder."

Shamura: "I am not what I once was. Though no longer wise, I am no fool. I know the end draws near. I can take some comfort in confession. The blame hangs heavy 'round my neck. I introduced him to ideas of change; for my domain is knowledge, and it is ever evolving. An organic state of being for myself, but for him… most unnatural. Death cannot flow backward. It was I who had him chained. Forced into subjugation by the four of us. Subjugated as you too soon shall be. Make peace, bow to me, Lamb."

Shamura: "Have you thought of what awaits you once your task is completed? What is to become of you? The lamb is, after all, the sacrificial beast. Bred to slaughter. If I cannot stop you, then I can at least prepare you for the suffering to come. He was the fifth. The fifth Bishop of the Old Faith. Our brother, The One Who Waits. Back then he was known by the name Narinder."

Shamura: "I envy you not. While you may yet kill me, still I would not trade places. It is time to draw this ugly business to a close. He waits at the point of the sharpened blade, the fate that cannot be outrun. He waits in the eye of the raging storm, at the end of the long day done."

Shamura: "Five becomes… becomes… nothing. Nothing at all. The duty I owe to my bretheren cannot be shirked. My temple awaits."

Shamura: "He of havoc, he of blight; she of hunger, they of might. Five becomes four becomes three becomes two becomes one becomes nothing."

Shamura: "I will fight your ceaseless war. In this way shall Purgatory draw semblance to life."

Shamura: "I will fight your ceaseless war. In this way I shall be punished."

Shamura: "Bond forged by the spilling of blood… I know you hear me, God of Death." "Ignoble lamb… finish what you've begun…"

KALLAMAR: “ Please know, it was not my idea to cast out the Red Crown! The other Bishops, my siblings, the blame lies with them. Please, I beg you, spare me. Kill Shamura, but do not send me to my death. Do not send me to him! ”

— Kallamar showing his cowardice once he realizes he is powerless to stop the Lamb and begs for mercy.

Shamura: "Five points to a pentagram, five portents of doom, five siblings stood abreast, five gods and one tomb..."

Heket: "Shamura! We did not wish to bother you, but-"

Kallamar: "Shamura, the Red Crown grows stronger by the day. Already it has succeeded where he has failed before. Leshy has been slain!"

Shamura: "Five becomes four becomes three becomes two becomes one becomes nothing."

Heket: "...Shamura, rest. We will deal with this. Won't we, Kallamar?"

Kallamar: "Yes, sister! Of course, sister!"

Heket: "You there, vessel of the Red Crown! Bow to me, or you will regret it!"

KALLLAMAR: "Begone, beast! Find satisfaction elsewhere. You will not cross the threshold of my temple!"

KALLAMAR: "Insignificant critter! You will learn your place! You do not understand, Lamb. Heed my warning and stay away!"

KALLAMAR: "Stay back! Stay away! Mercy, Red Crown, mercy..."

KALLAMAR: "It seems you cannot be stopped by disease or hunger. And he sends you back from death stronger each time. Please know, it was not my idea to cast out the Red Crown! The other Bishops, my siblings, the blame lies with them. Please, I beg you, spare me. Kill Shamura, but do not send me to my death. Do not send me to him! You will not find my temple. I will be safe there. Yes, I will be safe!"

HEKET: “ The Bishops… my family. Have they not suffered enough? Have I not suffered enough? We fought, pathetic vessel. We bled. We grieved. And yet the Red Crown wants more. No more. ”

— Heket expressing her anguish to the Lamb once she learns the plan of the Old Faith had failed

Heket: "So it is true. The Red Crown sits upon the brow of another."

Kallamar: "But how? We did everything we could to—"

Heket: "It matters not. We need not bother Shamura with this. Deal with it, brother."

Leshy: "As you command, my sister."

HEKET: "The Bishops… my family. Have they not suffered enough? Have I not suffered enough? We fought, pathetic vessel. We bled. We grieved. And yet the Red Crown wants more. No more." (against lamb)

HEKET: "Pathetic, sniveling, vile puppet to the Red Crown. You have felled the youngest of us. We are the Bishops of the Old Faith. We protect against heresies such as yours. We are the guardians of the true word, and we will not tolerate such blasphemy. Your sins are many, and for that your loyal Followers must SUFFER! They shall starve! " (against lamb)

Shamura: "Five points to a pentagram, five portents of doom, five siblings stood abreast, five gods and one tomb..."

Heket: "Shamura! We did not wish to bother you, but-"

Kallamar: "Shamura, the Red Crown grows stronger by the day. Already it has succeeded where he has failed before. Leshy has been slain!"

Shamura: "Five becomes four becomes three becomes two becomes one becomes nothing."

Heket: "...Shamura, rest. We will deal with this. Won't we, Kallamar?"

Kallamar: "Yes, sister! Of course, sister!"

Heket: "You there, vessel of the Red Crown! Bow to me, or you will regret it!"

HEKET: "It was not so long ago that we cast out the Red Crown. A mere thousand or so years. The heresy it preached could not be tolerated. Such noxious ideals... it could not be allowed. For this most damning of sins, the retribution must be slow and painful. I cast a famine upon your Cult! And with greed and ambition unchecked, it drew Godly blood."

HEKET: "The one you serve, that monster we have put in chains, will not be satisfied until you have killed all four of us. You may have killed my brother Leshy, but you will not kill me, and you will not get close to the other Bishops of the Old Faith. We are far older and more powerful than dear brother Leshy was."

HEKET: "I will not suffer the same fate as Leshy... Find me in my temple. You will join your kin in slaughter!"

HEKET: "Finally. I have been looking forward to this. Make your peace, creature. You will not be leaving this temple."

HEKET: "Foul beast! You dare trap thus?"

HEKET: "If you insist I suffer, so shall you."

HEKET: "Vile, sniveling puppet... I will destroy you again... and again..."

LESHY: "After everything we did. After everything we sacrificed. He will not be satiated. I may be the youngest of the Bishops, Little Lamb, but I am strong. And you are in my woods. I WILL DESTROY YOU!"

Darkwood - First Encounter "How can this be? You were put to the blade, Lamb, as all your kind were. And yet here you stand before me, unrepentant. The Crown... his power... could it be? But I am stronger still. Turn tail and run, Little Lamb."

Darkwood - Amdusias Fight Leshy: "You have come far enough little Lamb. My Followers are willing to do anything for me. Can you say the same of yours?"

Amdusias: "I give myself to the cause, oh Mighty Leader!"

Leshy: "By the blood of the Great Ones, destroy the Red Crown!"

Darkwood - Second Encounter "So you foolishly persist, little Lamb. I hear your lies and I smell your fear. The Red Crown rises again... but what an UNWORTHY bearer it has."

Darkwood - After defeating Valefar Heket: "So it is true. The Red Crown sits upon the brow of another."

Kallamar: "But how? We did everything we could to—"

Heket: "It matters not. We need not bother Shamura with this. Deal with it, brother."

Leshy: "As you command, my sister."

Darkwood - Fourth Encounter "Your persistence is beginning to ANNOY me, little Lamb. You may think yourself clever. You may think yourself righteous in your service to HIM. But you should not be so trusting of the Chained One. Oh, well. It's too late for talk. One such as you deserves no absolution. This will not end well for you."

Darkwood - Final Encounter "Finally... let us end this. I'll be awaiting you in my temple... come! Witness true power."

Darkwood - Boss Fight "I grow tired of you, little Lamb... Time to put an end to this FRIVOLOUS MASQUERADE!"

Darkwood (Post-game) - Statue Encounter "Little Lamb, I feel you there... Darkwood has not forgotten me yet..."

"I can still... Find you... In my woods..."

[Leshy summons 3 waves of enemies]

Darkwood (Post-game) - Boss Fight "Time to put an end to this... frivolous masquerade... time to put an end..." "End... this..."

"I... I cannot see! Where is my crown!?"

"Lamb! Damned Lamb! I know you are there, I smell you."

"What... has become of us?"

Relic Quest "Lamb... this is not a favor. I do not need your charity!"

"But when dear brother Narinder struck us in his fury, my eyes were torn from the socket."

"One was salvaged, and hidden in the tangled Darkwood. I despair at the thought of it being uncovered by some simple-minded beast."

"You have navigated my realm once before. Do so again, and recover my eye. Perhaps we can make an arrangement."

Upon Completing Relic Quest "You have it! I feel the presence of a relic in my flesh. Be it's caretaker, for now. Something may yet be done."

Give Camellia "I know that smell. The red flowers... blooming eternally, even when I was merely a burrower."

"Through the dirt I would wade until one day... I found a Crown... or perhaps it found me?"

"...go away, Lamb!"

Demon Quest (10 days after the Relic Quest) "Lamb. There is something... something I must ask of you.""

"..."

"Darkwood. I want to... to feel the fresh air there. Smell the blooming flowers. My temple... once, it was..."

"You hold my Relic. Convert me into a demon and take me to my temple in Darkwood."

Demon Quest (If statue in Darkwood destroyed) "Hold, Lamb! Let me enjoy Darkwood for as long as I am able. Do not use the portal."

Demon Quest (Temple) "Ahh Darkwood."

"I did not know the extend of Narinder's plot. Nor ours to stop him."

"I preferred chaos to plans and schemes."

"I was blind to it all - Ha!"

"My Relic, Lamb. I will give it back. Let us be cleansed of this."

Giving back the Relic. "Ahh... My sight may still be lost but... I am renewed. Thank you, Lamb."

Unique follower thoughts. Ran into something: Ow! There's too many things lying around!

Feeling Chaotic: Routine is so boring! Why can’t we do something… Crazy?

Smelt the Flowers: Ah, such rich odors... how lovely.

Misses Darkwood: The lush greenery... blooming flowers...

Fooled a Follower: Hehehe… foolish Follower, so easy to trick…

Cult has New Member: Yet another Follower for the Lamb, hm?

Envious of the Lamb: I would run this Cult much better!

Received Necklace: It does look good on me, I admit.

Leader Murdered a Follower: Not bad! I miss murdering Followers...

Was Beaten Up: Scars are cool, right?

Spent Time with Siblings: Annoying little…!

It's nice to be together, after all this time.

SOZO: First meeting "Greetings traveller... me? Why I am Sozo of course! Researcher of all things mushrooms... guess that makes me a fun-guy! Just a little joke Sozo likes to tell. Yes, yes! Mushrooms! Mushrooms are Sozo's passion. But Sozo need more! Sozo always need more... You will collect for Sozo, yes? Yes! Sozo can't trust my followers out there. They lie, they steal, they whisper secrets about Sozo. I JUST KNOW IT! Sozo will do anything! I'll worship at your altar! Sozo will devote myself to your cause! I'LL RIP OFF YOUR HEAD! Ahem... Sozo will show you how to use the power of the mushrooms to open the fragile little minds of your Followers! But you do not need to use it on Sozo! Oh no! Sozo will follow willingly. As long as you keep bringing Sozo mushrooms, Sozo will do anything. Take the path to Anura and find Sozo mushrooms! You may not have seen them before, but now you seek them, they shall be there now."

Given 10 Mushrooms "Yes! Yes! Give Sozo give Sozo GIVE SOZO! Excellent... Excellent! But not ENOUGH. Bring Sozo more and Sozo will show you how to brainwash those Followers of yours. Sozo supposes you want something for your efforts? Of course! Sozo always pays his debts. Take this.

[Sozo gives you a Holy Talisman fragment]

Given 20 Mushrooms "Yes, YES! These will do just fine! Okay, Sozo will share with you this ritual, but you must not show anyone! Stand back... or you will get brainwashed too."

[ Brainwashing Ritual unlocked ]

"DONE! As you can see now Sozo's loyal Followers are BRAINWASHED. They will do whatever Sozo say for a few days, and lose no Faith in Sozo. But afterward may of them will fall sick... but oh well! Now that you have seen, you can go to your temple and perform the Ritual yourself!"

[Sozo gives you a Holy Talisman fragment]

You don't have enough Mushrooms "Sozo trusts you, only you, everyone else is out to get Sozo, but not you, Sozo loves you, Sozo needs you... What? Are you spying on Sozo!? Go away! Comeback with mushrooms!"

After you performed the Brainwashing Ritual "You did it, didn't you? You tasted the power of the mushrooms... yes, you are just like Sozo. Sozo knows you are a friend! Here, you must take this. A sign of friendship between two lovers of the Menticide Mushroom. Keep it safe! You can trust no one... NO ONE!

[Sozo gives you a Holy Talisman fragment]

I wish to give you something else. Something to symbolise your undying adoration for the Menticide Mushrooms and their limitless potential.

[Sozo gives you the Mushroom Sculpture]

No need to thanks Sozo. Build it at your Cult then come back to me. Sozo shall grant you one last gift. Sozo is always fair. Always repays this debts. Not like those LIARS out there."

After the Mushroom Sculpture has been built "You did it! Now I know I can trust you... not like those nasty liars outside. They are always watching, always listening! Here take this. You are Sozo's best friend, you are Sozo's only friend."

[Sozo gives you a Holy Talisman fragment]

"Sozo can trust you now, Sozo will pledge himself to you! You will protect me from those liars outside and bring Sozo mushrooms!"

Talking to Sozo again after this "Sozo is so happy! Sozo has never had so many mushrooms before. If it wasn't for you, Sozo would never be able to get so many at once! Sozo cannot wait to see what happens!"

Meeting during Crusades "Mushrooms, where are you? I hear you call to Sozo..."

"Ah! Mushroom! Mushroom the size of a lamb! Mushroom, remember when you met Sozo?"

"Sozo had friends... Followers... family... now Sozo has mushrooms..."

"This is better! Is this better? Ha! Hahahaha! Ha..."

Follower Form After being brought back from the Farm Plot “Sozo just had the CRAZIEST dream. Sozo dreamt that Sozo had too many mushrooms and…”

“…and was happier than Sozo has ever been before!”

“Now all Sozo can think about is mushrooms, mushrooms, MUSHROOMS… They don’t leave mush-room for anything else! Ha!”

“Sozo must have more… it’s been so long… Sozo miss the taste… the feeling! Sozo will live here and be happy if you just bring more MUSHROOMS!”

Given 5 Mushrooms “Precious, perfect little mushrooms, Sozo is here now, Sozo will always be here…”

”Sozo is busy now… Sozo must commune with the ‘shrooms. You GO AWAY!”

Declined Giving 5 Mushrooms “No Mushrooms? NO MUSHROOMS FOR SOZO? You... you... you...”

”Fine! Sozo can forgive... but Sozo will not forget.”

Mushroomo Quest (First Time) “Sozo was just here, all alone, thinking about mushrooms... Uh, Sozo means Sozo's little Mushroomo followers!”

”Yes,, they must be so lost without Sozo. They love Sozo! Everyone loves Sozo - especially Lamb!”

“Without their great and beloved Sozo, Mushroomos must be so scared... YOU! You must save them! Save them and bring them to Sozo.”

”They will be trapped in Anura. They are always getting captured when they don't have their great Sozo to protect them. Rescue them and bring them to me.”

Mushroomo Quest (Repeat) Wording 1:

“The little Mushroomo had to... burp... leave! Yes, yes, it had to leave!”

“But Sozo knows where there are others! Lamb must bring Sozo more, yes? Yes! Good.”

Wording 2:

“Yes, Mushroomo had to go, but... another! How about another? Oh, it is so hard to be apart from Mushroomos!”

“You would have to lock Sozo up to stop! But Lamb never do that to Sozo!”

Wording 3 onwards:

“Sozo wants more Mushroomos... I mean, Mushroomos need Sozo! Another? All alone and trapped in Anura. You must help it!”

”How about one more for Sozo? One more little Mushroomo? Yes, yes! While Sozo is free, Sozo will want Mushroomos!”

“If loving Mushroomos is a crime, lock Sozo in prison! Sozo joking. Lamb never do that to Sozo! Lamb loves Sozo.”

”Sozo bad! Sozo deserves to be locked up! But… NO! No, Sozo must have one more Mushroomo!”

Mushroomo Quest (Complete) “Yes, yes! Thank you Lamb, Sozo will be very good to Mushroomo.”

Denying Mushroomo Quest “You… deny Sozo? You hate Sozo? Then Sozo hates you too.”

“No… no! You have to help Sozo, you have to, Sozo begs, Sozo needs the mushroom…”

”Give… Sozo… MUSHROOM…”

Putting Sozo In Prison while dissenting “Fine! Lock Sozo up! Sozo would rather be in prison forever than see stupid Lamb!”

RATAU: Introduction Fear not! I am Ratau. I was once a chosen vessel like you, but those days are lost to the winds. I was sent to guide you. We are deep in the lands of the Old Faith and in grave danger. My instructions are to lead you to safety. Continue through the woods. Escape lies ahead. I will be close by. Follower Room We have nearly reached safety, but look ahead! Another poor soul about to be sacrificed. Rescue them and they would have no choice but to join your new Cult. Last Room We have reached safety. You have done well. The Red Crown will allow you to use those markings on the ground to transport yourself great distances. It will take you to a temple that has fallen to ruin. There you will be able to begin your new Cult. I will meet you there. Cult This hallowed ground which once was mine, is now yours. This crumbling ruin is to be the site of your new Cult. We have much to do. We begin by indoctrinating this poor soul into the warm embrace of your Cult. Followers can gather resources for you. Order this one to collect Lumber Lumber or Stone Stone. "By your hand, our Cult will grow powerful! But your Followers can not live on prayer alone, they must eat. Gather the necessary resources and build a Cooking Fire. It will allow you to prepare meals for your Followers."

"Now we must build a Shrine - but first we will need more Followers and more gold. Both of which can be found when crusading through the lands of The Old Faith. Our mutual benefiter The One Who Waits has been trapped by the four Bishops of the Old Faith. Each of them guards a chain that binds him to the realm beyond. We have conjured openings to their realms. It is your task to track them down and slay them so that he may be freed. Now go! There you shall find gold and willing recruits and for those who are not willing, convert them by FORCE!"

[Player returned with more Followers]

"I am relieved to see you made it safely, and you have not returned alone. You have convinced more to join our faithful flock. Let us indoctrinate this new convert so that we may continue."

"Followers will either work or worship. Worshipping Followers generate Devotion for you to collect. But to collect Devotion, you require a Shrine."

[After Shrine has been built]

"Praise be! Your Followers can now worship you! Here is a new Follower. Assign them to Worship a the the Shrine.

[After the Temple has been built]

"The Temple is the centre of your Cult. From there you will preach Sermons to grow stronger and perform Rituals to mould the fragile minds of your Followers. You are responsible for maintaining the Faith of your Cult. If it falls too low, your Followers will dissent against you and eventually leave. Your Followers are ready to hear your word. Show them that you are their great leader. Preach a Sermon from within your Temple."

[After the Lamb performed a Sermon]

"You were amazing to behold. A natural leader. I see why you were chosen. If you are to guide your Cult you will need to declare Doctrines so that they might obey you. Return to the lands of the Old Faith and seek out Commandment Stone fragments. With these you will be able to declare new Doctrines."

[After a new Doctrine has been declared]

"Preaching sermons, performing rituals and providing for the needs of your Followers will keep their Faith high. The Bone Bones of your enemies are required to perform such Rituals. Destroy their skeletons to gather their bones. Returns to the lands of the Old Faith, gather bones from fallen enemies, recruit more Followers and return to perform a Ritual here in the Temple."

[After a Ritual has been performed]

"Indoctrinating followers is well and good, but there is so much more you can take from them. Give them gifts, complete quests and performing blessings for them and you will increase their Loyalty to you. Once they are totally loyal to you, they will give you everything they own. Watch as I show you. You, Follower, come back in here!

[Ratau gives the Follower a gift, raising their Loyalty]

The more loyal Followers you have, the stronger you'll become. I have much to teach you, but I am old and grow weary. Visit me at my home and I will show you how to harness the true POWER of the Red Crown!

Unlocking Curses ability "I am glad I found you. I bring good news! The One Who Waits is pleased with your progress and wishes to grant you a Crown Ability."

"Enemies you slay will now drop Fervour. Collect this to replenish your Curses."

Lonely Shack You went inside the hut:

"You have discovered my humble cottage. Be careful you don't make the same mistakes I did, or you will end up in a place just like this. Now, perhaps a game of Knucklebones? You don't know it? Why, it's simple. Step up to the table and I will show you."

You win against Ratau in Knucklebones the first time:

"By the One Below! You're a natural! Here, you've earned yourself a prize."

[The Lamb unlocks The Hearts II card]

"Now you've had a taste of the game... care to wager some coin?"

You win against Ratau (with bet):

"It seems fortune is not on my side. No matter, you played well."

You draw against Ratau in Knucklebones:

"A draw! The most exciting outcome in a game of Knucklebones! Well done, Lamb!"

You lose against Ratau in Knucklebones the first time:

"Haha! No one can beat the great Ratau at Knucklebones! Care to play again?"

You went outside to the shrine at the right side:

"I must thank you. By relieving me of my duties you have granted me what I desire most: peace. Now that I have taught you everything you need to know, I can pass my days playing Knucklebones. I have friends on their way to join me for a game or two as we speak. A rowdy bunch to be sure, but now I am retired I am free to enjoy myself.

Sacrificed to the Fox "It's you! No, wait! Lamb, don't trust this murderer—"

[The Fox captures Ratau.]

HELOB: "Tiny pathetic creatures! But so tasty..."

HELOB: "Yessss, you like? I find many of these tasty morsels..."

HELOB: "Maybe I keep this one... I grow hungry..."

HELOB: "I loves the crunch CRUNCH of their little bones!"

HELOB: "Don't eat them all at once!"

HELOB: "Come back now."

HELOB: "Tasty morsels cannot be for nothing!"

HELOB: "You must hunger muchly... have this one on the house."

HELOB: "My number one customer, back again! For you."

HELOB: "Yesss, I can smell tasty critters near... mmm... I stays here, there's enough for you and enough for me. Don't let your Followers wander away... you never know who might be nearby and hungry!"

HELOB: "Scary round head...too scary to eat... My tasty treaties will have to be twice as much gold! I do not like the round head..."
