Your fleece is greater than a trend alternative.
Cult of the Lamb‘s lovable cult chief has turn out to be iconic of their crimson fleece, however their wardrobe grows over time. By ending quests for peripheral characters, like Sozo in Spore Grotto, you’ll obtain a chunk of the Holy Talisman. 4 items will unlock a brand new fleece for the Lamb to put on on crusades.
The Holy Talismans take effort and time to gather, so it’s doubtless that you can be unlocking them separately. Additionally, a few of these facet quests will be unthinkable, corresponding to sacrificing candy Ratau! Deciding which, if any, of the 5 bonus fleeces to commerce your Holy Talisman for is a private alternative, however I ranked them based mostly on their professionals and cons to assist.
6. Fleece of the Diseased Coronary heart

Sadly, the purple fleece doesn’t have a robust upside. Dawning the Fleece of the Diseased Coronary heart permits you to acquire one Diseased Coronary heart each time you acquire a Tarot card. You possibly can solely have one on you at a time, so in case you don’t lose it by the point you stumble throughout one other room with the Tarot seller, Clauneck, you then don’t acquire one other one. These creepy black hearts are good bonuses however shouldn’t be relied upon. They will nonetheless be used up and misplaced, and so they solely provide help to in case you are hit. The Diseased Coronary heart offers harm to all of the enemies within the room each time that you just take harm. It’s type of like revenge.
Whereas it’s good to know that each time you’re hit, your enemies are a bit of nearer to demise themselves, it’s a tough stability. Additionally, the draw back of this fleece is a doozy. In the event you die earlier than finishing the run, you then lose 100% of the objects you picked up alongside the best way. It already sucks dropping 25%, so popping out empty-handed is simply not a threat I’m keen to take.
5. Fleece of Fragile Fortitude
The Fleece of Fragile Fortitude appeared like an exquisite concept to me once I first unlocked it, however in observe, it killed me sooner. The blue fleece replaces your hearts with matching blue hearts. It’s straightforward to imagine that there have to be some kind of profit to this, nevertheless it’s extra of an impediment. Pink hearts have a full well being restrict, however blue and black hearts will be tacked onto the top for further well being.
With the blue fleece on, your complete well being bar is blue, and nothing will be added on besides extra blue hearts and Diseased Hearts. The one technique to change them is that if your enemies drop a half or complete blue coronary heart. That makes changing them far more troublesome. In the event you’re up for a problem, have at it. In any other case, it could be finest to save lots of this one for final.
4. Fleece of the Glass Cannon

The Fleece of the Glass Cannon is ideal for blowing a room up! The inexperienced garment will make your curses hit twice as exhausting whereas costing half as a lot. Personally, I like utilizing the varied curses. Whereas some are extra highly effective than others, being able to hit a number of enemies without delay turns out to be useful, particularly in rooms the place enemies converge on you without delay. With the correct timing and strong goal, you possibly can take out most of them with out getting too shut.
Not getting too shut can be best because the downsides aren’t best. Sporting the Fleece of the Glass Cannon will strengthen your curses however weaken your melee weapon by half. Much more regarding, your well being can be halved as properly. Since your curse is generally random and restricted, and your weapon is half as highly effective, defeating a boss can be extremely troublesome. Mix that with half the well being and it could be finest to go away this fleece for the post-boss dungeon crawls.
3. Golden Fleece
The Golden Fleece doesn’t have a elaborate title, sadly. It’s excellent for rogue-lite professionals and gamers who’ve perfected Cult of the Lamb‘s fight system. When you’re sporting the gold fleece, your harm dealt will increase by 5% with each kill. In case you are adequate with the melee weapon to window shop, your weapon can be supercharged. Nonetheless, like many of the holy clothes, there’s a draw back. It solely takes one hit from an enemy to finish your spree, resetting the harm dealt. Additionally, your enemies will pack twice the punch!
This draw back isn’t too horrible although. As a result of the sport’s fight isn’t designed to be extraordinarily troublesome, many gamers can have enjoyable whereas making an attempt to maintain their streak going so long as potential. The extra you play, the better will probably be to dodge hits and land extra of your personal.
2. Fleece of the Lamb
“If it ain’t broke, don’t repair it.” That’s how I really feel concerning the Fleece of the Lamb. As the unique garment of the lovable cult chief, the long-lasting crimson fleece doesn’t value something but in addition doesn’t provide you with something. Whenever you start your dungeon crawl, you gained’t have further hearts. You’ll draw your Tarot playing cards one after the other. Your weapons and curses are all typical, and also you lose 25% of your objects in case you die. You get the image.
The explanation I rank it so extremely then is as a result of the Fleece of the Lamb doesn’t have any downsides both. You possibly can win the sport with out ever unlocking or dawning the opposite fleeces. It’s all about stability together with your weapons and Tarot card selections, and I’m a fan of stability. If not for the subsequent fleece, I might most likely simply put on this one on a regular basis.
1. Fleece of the Fates

Snow-white with a crimson pentagram clasp, the Fleece of Fates seems to be good and is definitely useful. Throughout a standard run via the realms, there are just a few alternatives to hitch Clauneck for a Tarot studying. They are going to allow you to select one in all two playing cards. The utmost variety of Tarot playing cards you possibly can have on a run is 4. With the white fleece, you get all 4 earlier than you even seize your weapon.
Whereas getting a little bit of alternative in your outfitted playing cards permits you to strategize throughout every dungeon crawl, the Tarot rooms are unfold out. You could solely have your finest card in the direction of the top. Getting all 4 upfront provides you an opportunity for a superpowered run via all the rooms, and also you don’t have to fret about by accident skipping the room the place Clauneck waits. You possibly can have a implausible run when the Fates smile on the little lamb. In the event that they don’t nonetheless, there’s actually no such factor as a dangerous hand. Additionally, the one draw back to the fleece is the dearth of alternative, nevertheless it isn’t like there have been a ton of customization choices to start with.
Cult of the Lamb has been an extremely enjoyable sport for such a large internet of gamers. Being half rogue-lite and half farming sim, neither is simply too troublesome to be taught. There’s even a fishing sidequest that gives you a Holy Talisman when you full it. You will get some tips about tips on how to catch an octopus right here! Within the meantime, hopefully, this record helps together with your decision-making.
