Lambs are cool but cults are cooler

Narinder (The one who waits) Is a Cat. I love that. People when they first meet him think of him as a wolf in sheeps clothing literally. When he is actually a cat.

I really believe the next update should add an option where you save Ratau, by tricking the fox beast and fighting him as a boss, the animation of the lamb looking all distraught while Ratau is taken away shows that even he didn't want to do that

And this is why we don't sacrifice Ratau in my household, damn the 100% completion >:{

One more thing, after you meet with forneus and she tells you that the kits went off on an adventure, you have a chance to encounter them on the same crusade. Aym will go off on you about how much better Narinder was only for Baal to say “what he means is thank you”

Wow, you actually named the god something good. Purely for the fact that he kept threatening me when I was too close (Accidentally rolled into him) he was known as Shithead through my playthrough

For Heket, I absolutely think their job as an old god is fertility, as famine would be the other side to that coin. The opposite of "Fertile soil" is soil that cannot produce anything. i just thought it was a neat idea :3

A crown does not necessarily make one a bishop, many characters other than chemak have crowns, such as Haro. These lesser crowns seem to give less impressive abilities than the bishop crowns. Chemak's crown seems to give the ability to leech power from other gods, through severed body parts or posessions, creating relics. In fact, check claims to have created her crown out of "secret" material. It seems more lively than other crowns, as if it's conscious. Maybe it contains fragments of other gods souls?

Lesson of the story , don’t kill ratau

I think Chemach's story goes more like this. One of her siblings mentioned that the three (Chemach, Claunek and Kuudai) were the children of a god and were tasked with making godly instruments. But they were not supposed to use these instruments themselves. So the three siblings weren't supposed to use the things they made for themselves. And Chemach managed to make her own crown...so perhaps Chemach using one of her own creations was the reason for her current state. Half-mad and mutilated. Also, I don't think Chemach has any legs. Which I always thought was the reason she needs to suspend herself on hooks.

The side quest with Forneus made me so happy when I completed it. Almost tears of joy ngl, it was very satisfying and wholesome and they wrote Forneus’ lines very well. At the same time, sacrificing Ratau is very devastating. I genuinely felt bad the rest of the game after I killed him. Cult of the Lamb is a very solid game ans the lore is super interesting! Makes you feel things 😭

The moment he said "The first bishop of Darkwood Leshy is based-" I immediately said "Inscryption"

22:30 "so we can kindly beat the SHIT out of him" I COULDNT AGREE MORE

Honestly, as soon as I learned that you could canonically get the bishops as followers, I was so hyped, cause that was an idea I had and drew, so seeing that it actually happened? So much joy. And… the fact that sacrificing Ratau, to get the completion bonus? I just… something feels so wrong with that. Why does he have to die, in order for us to get 100%? It’s just such a gut punch, and I don’t understand why, besides to cause pain. He wasn’t waiting for death, he had just been given a new hope for life, why does he have to die?

Fun fact:one of Chemack lines says that she created her crown by herself, but she doesnt say what its made of

I M SORRY RATAU THE PROUD DAD IS JUST. I also cant with cat's children THEY WERE SO CUTE HUGGING THEIR MOTHER

Kallamar having half his face destroyed could be his two faced nature or something

10:37 Kallamer is also a pain in the ass to kill on any difficulty above easy, any of his fireballs attack combined with him constantly summoning more enemies into the arena makes a combo that would definitely make you smash your keyboard with frustration

I think that Leshy, Heket, Kallamar and Shamura can all see, speak, hear and think because of their crowns. Even when they lose their crowns and become followers, they keep their abilities because of wearing their crown for so long.

i think it’s cool that with the Egyptian references, it’s known that Egyptian kings would take their servants to the afterlife, like Narinder did with the 2 kids

Definitely one of the more unique games released last year. I had no idea they were releasing content updates for it, looking forward to more.

sacrificing ratau is a possibility? i could never. especially after reading that note i would have nothing but regret i love the little guy too much

This game feels less like having a cult and more like watching a preschool full of needy kids Edit:PFFT- 98 LIKES!?

I'm pretty sure I had a piece of dialog in which Chemach asks the Lamb if it likes her Crown and tells it that she made it herself, but won't tell what it's made of and laughs. She also refers to the body sacks in her room as her followers, when you destroy them without taking the relic first. I'm certain she built them herself aswell, because they have drawn on faces etc. Chemach probably isn't a god, but someone who aspires to be one and convinced herself, that she can be one by DIYing her followers and crown.

3:26 Leszy was neutral and treated people the way they treated the forest, like helping the people get out of there or making animals kill people who destroyed forests

Wait Baal, Aym, and Forneus are the names of three of the demons is the ars Goetia which is the first book in the Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis, which talks about 72 demons and summoning seals for them. Additionally in Satanic circles and some occult practitioners will use the symbol that is shown on the ground during the boss fights as a demonic seal for the Devil

On your theory of Chemach, I don’t think she was a Bishop. Yes she has a crown, but Haro has a crown as well and I don’t think they are Bishops. I theorize that there are other crowns in the world that don’t hold as much power or that are more obscure than the Bishops’. It’s been theorized that Chemach’s crown is healing a wound of her’s as it is melted into her head similar to Shamura’s and/or it’s an accumulation of her depravity and madness pulling her deeper into insanity.

You can find Baal and Aym in a room later in the game during a crusade and speak to them. Baal says something about you not being as good of a leader as Narinder, and Aym basically says 'what my brother means is thank you'

Whaaaaat! I actually didn't know Baal and his brother were the mama cat's children! 😭 I always wondered why their demon form were different! Btw am I the only one who couldn't name "???" ? They never asked me to name them despite finishing the game :o

Now we gotta figure out how an indigestible spider child fits in to this

Never played this game, but the combination of 2D and 3D animation and game design is absolutely gorgeous!!

I remember playing a very early demo at an event a few years ago it blows my mind how popular it has become!! the dudes behind this game are super cool!!!

18:51 I see everyone naming the guy with roulette wheel things like “God” or “Great One” I just named him Steve

I was expecting like. A lore deep dive not a 1:1 retread of the events of the game.

wait, I used one of my followers to turn into a demon (the heart one), and ratoo upon seeing the demon said he found his lover and the demon joined him?

I restarted my whole playthrough after killing ratau. (yeah i had saved my game after that or some other dumb shit) BUT SEEING THE LETTER?!!? I'M GLAD I STARTED BACK, HE'S HAPPY AND WELL NOW.

I know this game is from 2022 but I didn't even know it existed until around the end of last November (2023). I got it for Christmas and I freaking love it! I do think it's a little funny that it took me WAY too long to figure out that Leshy is a worm, Heket is a frog, Kalamar is a squid and Shamura is a spider. I think the One Who Waits might be a cat but the ears are really extra pointy and that third eye throws it off a bit. He could also be a jackal or something... Because of the ears. Of course, in his final form he looks like a freaking Demogorgon from Stranger Things! Oh, and I also killed two witnesses before ever even meeting Plimbo. LOL

i feel fighting the teeth in the dark could have been a better option then sacrificing Ratau.

And then, somehow, webber from hit survival game dont starve joins your cult

Im so excited for the next big update, it promised more story elements so aaaa, also i really hope we get more of an explanation on ??? Because they are very mysterious

The fact that I can't name the cult "Wrath of the Lamb" infuriates me.

before the fight, you can see when his followers sacrifice themselves, he rises up in the air, showing his lil feetsies

We need a part 2 for the Sins of Flesh update🤝🤝

This is the superior animal crossing, tell me otherwise Also as a question, who made there cult members grass eaters?

I named "the great eye": Morax since throughout cult of the lamb they use so many demon names the name Morax felt fitting considering that "The great eye's" purpose and Moraxe's story are kind of similar

This is more, the story of the game not the lore. Its still is really good

Lore is always the best part of a game, and this one has lots of it.

best vid on yt that ive ever watched , well explained

THE MAMA CAT AND HER CHILDREN ARE SO WHOLESOME 😭

I was like this 👌 close to being like, yeah ok I’ll finally get this game :D, but nope not if it means sacrificing Ratau. Im already too attached

I do love the theories of the bishops you put in this video it explains a lot in a way

Yeah this may come as a suprise but the cult leader lamb may not be the last of his kind. If you write cult of the lamp in youtooz one of the items is a plushy. The plushy is of a follower that is called rammie and propably is a ram. Ram means adult sheep so basicly theres a change the lamb fron the game us not the last of his kind. Since in the description of Rammie it states that she is a cult member and may want to take the role of cult reader from lamb badiclu stating that rammie is still alive. What do you guys think of this theory

this is a video for ppl who don't have the game and don't want to watch HOURS worth of videos just to know the story aka me

The art style is so cute I love it

Join the cult- I mean ughhh Discord server! discord.gg/kP9cqpeq9W

I love this game and this video

This game is the definition of high risk high reward

This was a really good video! Just a question, do you think you’ll do any videos on Don’t Starve/ Don’t Starve Together? The game has a lot of interesting lore and bosses and I think it would be interesting to see you do a video on it.

i thought you were joking when you said mushroom guy died of a overdoes i checked he is very dead

Wonderful work

Despite Shamura's skull split open he remains as most smartest and wisest of them all.

Regarding the corrupted video, you should have your OBS save files as flv then have it transcode when complete. Saving as mp4 has the risk of corruption if anything happens to the file at all. Good video, though.

Honestly I giggled when you got to Hekt since the way it’s pronounced literally sounds close to how a frog ribbits which is so cute 😭

Finally a lore vid on this game

Interestingly enough you missed you can actually pick up the seed of sozo off his dead body and plant him to make Sozo part of your cult but he'll cannibalize any Mushroomos you add to your cult due to his addiction lol

Hate when the OBS recording file gets corrupted, but hey, it went most of the viseo before that happened. And I liked the video, really explained things well, even if it's just a tiny thing or two I missed.

Chemach(prob spelled wrong) has dialogue where he says he made his own crown, so he probably isn't a god/bishop

my friend loves COTL and im watching this to understand it lmao

I really get a feeling of the Red Fox will someday will be next villain either on the new dlc or next game.

"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." Narinder. The third bishop. The bishop of death. The power of the Red Crown consumed him, and it reduced him to a power-hungry, isolated monster; reduced to chains that his own siblings bore. I have a theory that Chemach made most of the crowns, except the Red Crown. Because, as we already know, Shamura made the Red Crown. The reason I think Chemach, of all beings, created the crowns, is because you can see that she has a crown of her own. Not only that, but her crown has multiple eyes; perhaps this signifies the power that she created? Also, you notice her siblings, Clauneck and Kudaii, don’t have crowns. Perhaps the crown made Chemach crazy. Perhaps she wasn’t always a chaotic being, maybe the crown made her that way. And maybe her siblings noticed this change and that’s why they didn’t want a crown aswell. Perhaps the Bishops were this way, too. Perhaps they weren’t always evil. Perhaps the crowns made them that way. Maybe, just maybe… the Bishops were good. The opposite of themselves, if you will. As an example, maybe instead of Heket being the Bishop of starvation, she’d be fertility. Or how Shamura is the Bishop of war, they could’ve been peace. And maybe, just maybe; Narinder was the Bishop of Life, rather than Death. Perhaps that’s why he became power-hungry. Perhaps it was from the crown. He was still holding on to his old power, a power that no other power could hold; life. This is my theory. Anyone else believe this?

Leshy is see no evil because they lost their eye. You use your eyes to see. Heket lost their throat, making it much harder to speak. Kallamar lost their ears, therefore they cannot hear. I hope this is a good explenation!

Please make a follow up two the lore tablets and other things added in sins of the flesh

Man I do love lore

I just peeped, how come we never fight the enemy type of the one who beheads us in the beginning

Sheep man going crazy

That pronunciation of Narinder just killed me 😭☠ 13:00

18:37 My Brother Named Him "Bob". Just Simply, Bob. No Cool Name. Just Fucking Bob.

the great eye? that's a good one. i called mine Æthur

The traits for the bishops are randomized. My kallamar is a sickly jerk. EDIT: Or, was, before I killed him for stealing my cash.

There’s a new DLC called the unholy alliance that’s gonna be coming out.

theres also a detail added when you sacrifice Ratau before defeating The one who waits

I love lore! 🎉

I'd never had sacrificed Ratau had he given me the letter, I'd had protected him instead

Are you going to make a part 2 now that sins of the Flesh is out?

I call the mysterious figure Jeff

I think the reason Chemach is suspended by chains is because her legs or lower half are missing. Possibly made into relics, or their remains are seen on the altar behind her.

just finished the game and am now leveling all my followers.

Cult of the WildCard

I named the great eye Randy

I also find it interesting that the bishops also reflect the four horsemen from the book of Ezekiel from Christianity. Famine-Heket, Plague/Pestilence-Kallamar, Wild Beast-Leshy(Referred to as chaotic by the one who waits kind of a stretch I know) and lastly Sword-Shamura for the fact that his “opposite achievement” is peace and he makes us fight our followers. Death is one of the four horsemen in the book of revelations but the others aren’t as easily tied together so I find that weird.

7:30 Chemach made her crown herself, she says something like "Did you like my crown I made it myself" or something like that

6:46 if you, however, except you will lose 30 faith

18:11 he'll steal SOME gold he stole 37000 from me once

i named the god apollo after the sun god idk thought it fit

Ah it's an old classic going back as far as ancient Greece and in many cultures. Trying to avert a prophesy of doom only brings doom to your doorstep.

i named my figure fart and now i feel bad about it

I do wonder if you’ll update this with the new update

This is the cutest dialogue I've ever read. 24:19 🥺

Ok this is not the cartoon I was expecting.

I believe Narinder (the one who waits) is the father of the too kittens (I saw it in a comic once)
