Cult of the Lamb is a roguelike action-adventure title developed by Massive Monster, in which the player takes the role of a lamb sacrificed to a god. Another god takes pity on the lamb and brings them back to life, as long as they promise to start a cult in their name and free them from the shackles that bind them.
Like any rogue-like, players will have to survive rooms of enemies and defeat bosses to help both their cult and their god, this can be difficult. However, players have access to tarot cards that can increase their odds during runs.
10 More Resources with Nature’s Boon
Growing the cult is another crucial part of Cult of The Lamb, to build beds, farms and other buildings like churches, a player needs the right amount of resources. While the members of the lamb cult can gather their own resources for them, this can begin to slow down as they clear the base area.
Players can also find resources while defeating enemies. Pulling Nature’s Boon allows a player to increase the amount of resources he can collect from the environment.
Finish a floor or room Cult of the Lamb will reward the player with a chest. Usually these chests contain more gold, Fervor and other bits and pieces that are useful to the player. However, sometimes these chests can be incredibly bland.
Rabbit’s Foot increases the chance of getting better loot in all chests during a flight. This increases the chances of receiving blueprints for decorations or even the ability to draw more tarot cards instead of waiting for the designated room to supply them.
8 The door of death will hurt everyone
For players who feel like the next fight could be their last because of the challenge, Death’s Door can save a player’s life when the going gets tough. Players hit to half a heart will deal a multiplier of damage to every enemy around them.
While it requires a player to lose a lot of health to activate it, that doesn’t prevent it from being useful, as the main objective is for those situations. There are also enhanced versions of this map that can increase damage to enemies, making it an even better choice.
7 Get more zeal with Fervours Harvest
Fervor is the resource used to cast the curses players have at their disposal to damage enemies. When defeating enemies, players receive a small amount of Fervor to refuel these curses, but depending on how often a player uses them, it may take a few rooms to recover all the curses.
Fervor’s Harvest has the simple benefit of increasing the number of Fervor players who return from defeating enemies, meaning using these curses becomes a much more viable option for survival.
6 More red hearts with the hearts 3
Having a high degree of health is vital if you hope to survive in Cult of the LambOne way to ensure this is to increase the number of hearts the player has. This can be done by upgrading the Lamb or through tarot cards such as The Hearts.
The Hearts 3 is the maximum of this card that players can earn. When the lamb is drawn, it gains two temporary red hearts that they have at their disposal for the rest of the run until they are defeated themselves or the boss is ready.
Increasing the damage output of the weapons wielded by the lamb can make room clearing a lot faster and easier. Master of The Art does just that, as it improves the damage dealt by whatever melee weapon a player wields at a given multiplier.
Similar to Death’s Door, players can get an enhanced version of this tarot card, which increases the multiplier of damage dealt by a weapon. This makes for even faster speed through levels and makes the lamb a force few want to mess with.
4 Get more hearts from a gift below

Unfortunately, A Gift From Below has no other special effects. However, it is still incredibly useful when trying to complete a run as it allows players to be more daring when defeating enemies as they can take unnecessary risks without any consequences.
3 The blessing of fortune doubles healing
Because survival is incredibly important, being able to recover all lost health is crucial for players hoping to level up. Healing can be incredibly rare, as only a few chests can have hearts in them, and it’s usually only half a heart.
Players blessed with fortune who use the Fortune’s Blessing tarot card regain twice as much health when healed. This applies not only to normal red hearts taken from chests, but also to sick hearts and blue hearts.
2 A sick heart damages enemies
Players will definitely get hit at some point while dodging the enemies they encounter, the sick heart is a cursed item that will be the bane of every enemy’s existence. There are no downsides to taking this heart.
Although it looks damaged, any enemy that hits the player will not only damage itself, but everyone else seen on the screen for a fair amount of damage. Since it gives the player a very sick heart, it also means that a player can be hit twice to deal this damage to enemies without sacrificing their own health.
1 Get a second chance with the deal
Unlike the other tarot cards available from the start of the game. The player must have unlocked the fourth area in Cult of the Lamb to buy The Deal from Midas’ Cave for ten gold bars.
Although it sounds expensive, this tarot card is vital for later runs where the dangers for players are multiplied. The Deal gives a player a second chance after death, as it instantly revives him in his current room with half a heart left.
