[h2]Friends Who Slay Together, Stay Together: Local Co-op[/h2]
Summoned by blood, and born in corruption. The Goat is a wicked new ally that can join the holy Lamb in
LOCAL CO-OP! Experience the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign, with one player inhabiting the role of the Lamb and the other taking on the mantle of the Goat!
How to Start Co-op PlaySimply plug in or connect a controller if you're playing on the same PC, and configure co-op in the pause menu to get started.
Steam Remote Play is also enabled for those of you who are further away from each other - please note that you may run into issues with this, if both players are using a keyboard due to how Remote Play is set up. For best results without having to use a work around, please have at least 1 player using a controller.
Enjoy new ways to interact with the world of Cult together - from fishing to cult chores and knucklebones, plus much more! Choose from a selection of corrupted weapons, tarot cards, curses, and relics as you embark on co-op crusades together to defeat all who stand in your way.
[h2]The Final Bishop Questline[/h2]
You have defeated them - now it is time to truly make them a part of your Cult.
10 in-game days after the Bishop relic quests, a Bishop will return to you with a quest. Complete these to cleanse them, unlock a new trait, and for a final reward from Narinder.
[h2]21 New Traits For Your Followers[/h2]
This update brings with it a whopping
21 NEW traits for you to expand your Cult following with!
Jerk Follower ChangeWe heard you loud and clear, these Followers are meant to be annoying, but not THIS annoying! To remove the 'Jerk' trait, you can either reassure, or bully them into submission. We'll leave the choice up to you...
PoetFollowers with this trait will never work, and instead choose to sit near the edge of the base, crafting poetry all day, with some special lines unique to each major boss you defeat. Make sure you have defeated the first boss to unlock this trait!
CursedFollowers may acquire this grisly trait after being resurrected! They cannot perform any tasks, and have limited interactions. Cure them through the Medical Bay, or.. you know.. just let 'em be. What's the worse that could happen?
Community Requested Traits! Pettable, PolyamorousNow you can shower love on ALL your Followers, no matter what they look like! Followers with the 'Pettable' trait will have the 'Pet' action in their radial wheels. Followers with the 'Polyamorous' trait will not be jealous if the Lamb gets married to other Followers.
...Plus, 17 other new traits!Spy, Nightowl, Snorer, Drowsy, Catatonic, Inspired/Excited/Disturbed by Mission, Unlawful, Reformed/Scarred/ Hardened Criminal, Unhappily/Happily Married, Proud/Overwhelmed Parent, and Murderously Jealous Spouse. Phew!
[h2]Knucklebones Table & Nursery[/h2]
Nursery BuildingYou may assign up to three babies in the Nursery, and you can build as many as you like. Babies placed in the Nursery will not be able to escape baby jail until they become adults. This is available in the Divine Inspiration Menu.
Knucklebones Building This single build structure will allow you to play one match a day against a Follower of your choosing. Difficulty will be based on their Follower level - win the match to level them up instantly. Fun fact: you can also play against The Goat/Player 2! Defeat all of the Knucklebones gang at Ratau's place to get this table.
[h2]New Fleeces, and Transmog System[/h2]
New Fleeces
The Goat Fleece, unlocked in the Crown Menu once you unlock corrupted Relics and Tarots, will allow players to play as The Goat in single player!
Small update note: If that doesn't work, please try enabling co-op once, then checking the Crown Menu.
You've Yee'd your last 'Haw. The Cowboy Fleece allows players to don a shiny Sherriff's star, and play as Cowboy Lamb - with a special bleat animation to boot, too! This is available after the unlocking the Blunderbuss, and allows players to start with this weapon during runs.
Fleece Transmog SystemPressing the 'Custom Appearance' button on a fleece will allow you to assign the visual fleece design of your choice, while keeping the selected fleece's traits. This feature can be found in the Crown menu, and is available once you unlock at least one fleece.
Though be warned, this feature is not available on purely cosmetic fleeces. [h2]
New Relics & Tarots! [/h2]
New varieties of Relics and Tarots have been added in this update for more fun - whether you're playing solo or with a friend!
Blessed & Damned RelicsThese are variants that add either a further positive, or negative effect to existing relics.
While Blessed Relics will have a more 'heavenly' effect (such as blue hearts), Damned Relics will have a more 'hellish' effect (such as diseased hearts). Corrupted Relics have both a negative and positive effect (for example, taking damage whilst damaging all enemies).
5 new Co-op Relics add more ways to strategize! Swap weapons, make your friend invincible, and more! These only drop in co-op mode.
New regular Tarots have been added for more fun! Pick 'Blind Wrath' to strike an enemy with lighting, or 'Usurper Blessed' to even heal fully when you enter the Boss room!
Corrupted Tarot Cards With great power, comes cost. 'The Hoarder' will allow you to recover full health, at the cost of damage when you use relics. 'Blighted Core' will make all enemies take huge damage - at the cost of you taking double damage.
Co-op Tarot Cards Because slaying with friends is more fun! Connect to each other through a damaging beam to run through your enemies, or even deal critical damage when you attack at the same time!
How to Unlock New Tarot Cards and RelicsUpon defeating the final boss,
The One Who Waits, the next time you are defeated in a dungeon, a room will appear. Interact with the cursed totem in that room to unlock Corrupted Relics & Tarot Cards. New relics will automatically appear during crusades, or in the Mystic Seller's item pool.
Co-op Tarot Cards and Relics will unlock upon adding a second player to the experience for the first time, and will only appear in crusades when Co-Op Mode is enabled.
[h2]Force Weapon Mode[/h2]
Find this new feature in the Accessibility Settings! Toggling this will allow you to select the weapon you want to see appear on every weapon pedestal during runs.
[h2]Twitch Integration[/h2]
We've made many changes to the Twitch Integration system with this update!
- Completely reworked extension backend to improve stability and speed of all integration features
- Reworked follower customization flow: Viewers can now customize their follower on a per-channel basis beforehand! Entering and winning a raffle will now make them appear in-game immediately. Once their follower is in-game, they will no longer be able to customize it until the player loads a new save in which the viewer has no follower yet.
- Viewers who have not customized their follower yet will not be able to enter the raffle
- Added support for playing a game of Knucklebones against Twitch chat
- More Help or Hinder options
