Just to add to it...if you have the Respect Your Elders trait, sacrificing an elder will cause a harsh drop in faith. Also if you attack the snail behind the worm vender multiple times he will attack you but if you win he will give a devotion shrine

[@le-grey-far-away]

And if you pray to the shrine you get a new follower form

[@hydragaming4268]

No the respect ure elders is incorrect I have it and it doesn’t do that but there was a other trait that did that

[@sorasan2466]

Respect your elders gives faith each time a follower reaches old age. And the shrine you get from the snail is different than what you are thinking of. The shrine you get from the snail is a monster shrine as a nod to the devs of the game, you can unlock a new follower form by prayingto it at night i believe. The devotion shrine is unlocked through the shrine in the middle of the base

[@rutherhood5961]

It’s one of those games that you go into to play for 20 mins, and then realise 5 hours have passed

[@411sponge72]

I just started the game the other day and I have to agree. I was playing and looked at the clock and it was 330 in the morning LOL Really fun so far!

[@Cat-ll2jw]

I got the game cus it was on sale, started playing at 12:00 and then I realized it was 7:30 LOLL 😭😭

[@laurab6146]

Great tips! I actually let my old die and built graves and held funerals for them. It essentially makes a devotion farm, since your followers will pray at all the graves and it also increases their loyalty. Loved this game and the recent patch fixed pretty much all of my issues with it.

[@localatlantis809]

This!! Paired with the respect the elderly doctrine, it’s a devotion and faith farm 👍

[@0XBlondie96X0]

I did this but the issue was that it took me wayyy too long to beat the game, and since followers live such short lives I had a huge graveyard going on and I kept having to make new graves just to bury all the dead followers, it seemed like there were always followers dying of old age every time I left to do a run, so I was holding funerals practically every day I was with my cult

[@insertfunnyhandlehere]

Resurrection is your best friend in this game you can keep your followers leveling up making them more and more useful for missionary missions and taking with you as demons in the dungeon

[@LacroixboiMarx]

You’re not kidding about the lumber! I struggled a bit, but I got the lumber mine as soon as I could. Great tip about the dissenters as missionaries! I’m gonna try that.

[@daywalker3735]

I had my first dissenter, and I just chose to ascend him, and sacrifice my elder lol Already had some other guy doing a mission

[@BomayeIsBack]

I found that it was a good idea to wait a couple in-game days between recruiting followers. If you indoctrinate multiple followers on the same day then they might all die on the same day as well and that causes all kinds of issues.

[@aidanadams6005]

Not if you inspire them everyday. If you level them up as much as you can the followers live longer.

[@jdogbemple1]

Only do rituals when necessary since bones are very easy to run out of and the only way to get them is to grind the dungeons. Also don’t be afraid of building new things, you will figure out their usefulness later. Also as soon as possible, build a lumberyard and quarry and regularly rebuild them when they break down, gives you a good constant flow of resources after the early game when there is no more trees or rocks to get resources from.

[@emmarald975]

Get a summoning circle as it’s nice to have some back up in fights. Pair that with revival and you can pick 3 followers with demons you like, then keep reviving and levelling them up so your back up can keep improving.

[@Fighterpilot555]

Plus, if you summon the Hathor demon and encounter an npc named Ratoo, you have a possibility of gaining a Half Heart that is a permanent upgrade

[@le-grey-far-away]

Man, I set up districts in my village by theme, put walls up, roads, lampposts. The districts are just different sleeping areas with themes and walls, such as rocky, or boney decorations

[@piercingthehorizon]

Okay, so, here's my FAVORITE strat. You get Belief in Sacrifice and Respect Your Elders. You essentially get free devotion for elderly, and then you get more devotion upon sacrificing them - you still get the Belief in Sacrifice bonus! I also like the perk that gives you devotion every day you don't have someone imprisoned.

[@FarBeyondStrange]

Instead of the "Respect your elders" trait, choose the "good die young" doctrine. This is unlocked at afterlife three and will give you more devotion from your followers when an elderly follower is sacrificed or murdered, but loose substantially more when they die of natural causes. Combine this with the cannibal trait you can unlock instead of the grass-eater perk, and you can harvest their meat to feed to your other followers for extra devotion while sacrifice is on cool down so you don't lose faith (especially with the belief in sacrifice trait and the murder follower action). Yes, I'm an evil prick. Don't judge me. Not all followers are created equal. And if you can find ways to get the most out of each and every one than you can afford to spend that extra bit of coin early on that will pay for itself in time and not be particularly exclusive while maximizing devotion.

[@PredictedCyborg]

I like to spend the nights I have in the cult hunting spiders, as morsels can make a fairly basic meal (with the downside of 10% chance of causing exhaustion which can go away if you tell the cultist to take a nap). I've discovered that they seem to be drawn to dropped items to attempt to carry them away, so if you kill one others tend to rush towards the spot where the first morsel fell which makes it easy to squish the majority of the ones spawned if not all of them. Also the little glowing 'fireflies' that appear at night too can also be caught for 1-3 points of devotion, just learned that today. Just ideas of things to do if you're spending an overnight at the cult and have nothing to do while waiting for the cult members to get up so you can sermon them. Also, I like to have a follower lined up ready to convert even when my cult is full - that way when one member dies I've another sap ready to fill their bed. ;)

[@BogaDragon]

There is also a doctrine where you can use a ritual to revive a follower. It's nice for your favorites, so you don't lose them forever + since some things rely on the level of your follower (like mission success rate and how well they help you on a run as demons) you can continue to level up the followers you like ^^

[@Ragnarra]

Meanwhile I just name my new followers after my OG friend whose sister I gave a longevity amulet and then proceeded to marry her after he died. He was around when I defeated the bishops basically from the beginning.

[@RidireOiche]

Equip the Golden Fleece by the end of the run you can pretty much one shot every boss. You can recycle necklaces from dead followers. Fishing is a quick way to get coin and food. Play Knuckle-Bones for easy money in the early game.

[@RandonPersom542]

Wait how do you recycle necklaces?

[@RidireOiche]

@@RandonPersom542 Nab them off the corpses, do it at night though. Your followers get a bit priggish if they catch you in the act. And you know what they say, snitches get sacrificed for the good of the group.

[@garra123454]

I cant use the golden fleece i get hit way to much

[@garra123454]

@@RandonPersom542 you get a option to get it from them after they die

[@Aci_yt]

200% damage bonus cap doesnt seem like it'd one-shot anything tbh

[@Marx1684]

This video was excellent. More informative than all others on KZbin.

[@Ninasanz83]

I am seriously addicted to this game, haven’t played anything else since I got it day 1.

[@gameswitholera6359]

No Zoe your cult doesn't just exist within the game! we all love you.

[@superraremartian]

a fun easter egg for all, you can speed up time in the game by holding L on pc. idk what button it is for console but yea u can make time go faster so your followers can worship or refine materials faster !

[@streunekatze8205]

This game is loooks so much fun. I really need to play it, so thanks for the wonderful video and the tips.

[@antoniowarren4841]

At the end of the video (shop) is a giant slug. Keep attacking it. It will be a mini-boss fight.

[@Madnesscombat395]

I add one when you get a Slytherin always go for the naked one sure they won't do any work but you'll get an ultimate sin that means you could get more workers from babies to adults

[@oshawottblue5648]

Also when you peer to the darkness and the man asked for either followers or half your own heart *give him the follower's* cuz the half a heart thing is *permanent* I didn't know this and now I'm missing half a heart forever.

[@Ankaration]

Thank you so much for the tips, funny enough I got Grass Eater so that's awesome!

[@grumble]

Great video and tips!! It's very rare for me to finish even short-ish games so soon after getting them, and I finished the main storyline of this on the weekend!! It really got its hooks into me and I found the balance between resource and cult management really rewarding, as it made the crusade runs themselves feel special and not like a chore in itself. And now it's just a lovely demonic farming sim, what more could I want 😊

[@FreakyLynx]

I started a new game recently, somehow i didn’t get the trophy for unlocking all the areas so trying it again - I’d forgotten how much of a grind the early game is.

[@MistrBlistr]

I absolutely loved this game!

[@CalvinGibson195]

I don't believe them taking something with them to go poo was a glitch..... Primitive man wiped his bum on everything from rocks to leaves to parts of clay jars...... I think it's an imitation of this history.

[@kirstybookwyrm]

Yes I’m still alive and faithfully serving the cult

[@chillvrplayer1000]

I like to give certain people moon necklaces and then i call it "The Night Group"

[@Goldrush6789]

another good thing if you have the cannibal trait and murder ability you can kill the elders in the night for free food i have been doing it for a while and its pretty good

I have this in nintendo switch ❤ i love it! But the game starts to lag when I hit 35 members 😂 planning to purchase ROG ally so I can play this on handheld..

[@obseed3041]

I disagree with the food tip. Don't stress yourself too much about the 2 and 3 stars. If you have it, sure give it to them otherwise, the 1 star berry and pumpkin dishes would do. They don't have the high buffs but they'll get your cultists stuffed and ready to work. I agree with the rest. Especially with the lumber. Make at least 3 lumberyards if you can. You will run out of lumber FAST. Also, just to add, do sermons everyday. It gives you powers and raises the cult's faith.

[@bryanalavez3484]

Muy bueno 🤟

[@ericknutson8310]

Once you feel established. Outhouse 2 and make like 5-6. I hate cleaning poop, so much time gets wasted picking up poop even though you need it to better sustain the farms

[@ahowl7mx]

What do the tarot cards do? Are they permanent or temporary?

[@superraremartian]

they are temporary and they only last for one crusade. it buffs you during your crusades for eg giving you an extra heart or inflicting poison damage to enemies you attack. usually you choose one card of 2 when you meet clauneck (a guy who provides tarot cards during runs). you have to unlock new tarot cards if you want to use tarot cards you don’t have in runs

[@Vmwave534]

I use the blue clothes cuz im bad so i need more health

[@SpiritsBB]

Don't we all bring a stone along when we poop? How else do you prevent your poop from flying all over the bathroom walls?

[@cricket1392]

If you have the doctrine that lets you get hearts by eating, eat a meal of follower meat. It'll give you two black hearts instead of just one blue heart.

[@tear959]

I personally recommend more getting the Cannibal trait because the Minced Follower Meat has very good bonus effects, as 40% chance to make a follower stop to dissenter and (if im not wrong) your followers wont find you suspect when harvesting a dead follower's meat (Also, grass food is bad anyway, it is just emergency food and later in the game, you hardly use it)

[@OfficialBulldozerStudios]

Taking care of your cult is extremely important, because if you have 0 followers, you're at risk of losing the entire game. You'll get a 2 day notice to get at least 1 follower, and failure to do so, the Lamb's life will come to a tragic, permanent end, and your save file is erased. So to put it bluntly, even if you treat your cult like a heartless monster, TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. You'll lose hours of hard work and progress if you don't.
