Instead of putting this video into two parts I just decided to make one really long one. The DLC content made combat and overall gameplay a lot more interesting then when I first beat the game. Before you ask, yes I will make a Part 2 Ultrakill video next. Anyways that's all, cya.

Lambs are cool but cults are cooler
combine them and it will be cooler cool
That better not be heresy you're preaching
I started a cult with my friends in 5th grade and we sacrificed the teachers... Does that say something about me today?
@@CountryhumanLunaria nah me and my unhinged friends wished about doing that
Agree
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.
Alright guys, I get it, Massive Monster confirmed he is a cat.
Original comment: He's got three eyes and horns, gamer. One of the follower forms is a cat, and it looks nothing like Narinder
Honestly I always thought he was a jackal 'cause of how long the ears were and of course the Anubis comparisons...
@@denmark1226he's a cat dude. The devs have already confirmed this a long time ago. Hell even the story writer joked on their Twitter recently that he still sometimes gets the zoomies.
@@denmark1226 it was explained the reason he looks different from actual cat followers is to give him an appearance reminiscent of the Devil, which is kinda what he is.
and everyone knows cats are assholes
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”
Guess Aym takes a bit after their former master
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
yeah about that
@@alienbonezwait what happened
@@alienbonez what happened??
you DON'T wanna know.
@@StellarStarGamingyes we do
And this is why we don't sacrifice Ratau in my household, damn the 100% completion >:{
I regret sacrificing him to this day...
You know...if you are a bit computer savvy you can copy your save file, get the chivo, and than delete the copy right?
I feel sad for ratau but i had to for completion
I'm not sacrificing someone who helped me become god
I'm with you mate, damn 100% I'm NOT giving up a friend
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
this is probably spot on seeing as the real goddess heket is named after is a goddess of fertility! not to mention that people pray to her for plentiful crops
Fertility as in fertile soil. Ahhh it makes sense now. 😮
Lesson of the story , don’t kill ratau
No kill ratatouille, got it
@CoffeeTheThird The fact my Cult of the Lamb OC is called Ratatouille makes it more ironic you said that, lmao
We're not the ones that do unspeakble things to him :)
I feel bad...
@@SangheiliSpecOp;-;
It actually hurts me on the inside completing the game 100% but I have to kill grandpa Rat
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
I just named it Molly lol, its the name of an oc I helped to create with a friend
I named them Moon
i named them Gertrude
i inflicted most devastating and dangerous curse to him for acting rude
i named him joe
I named them Biscuit
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?
Her crown has multi eyes, so I'm sure she made it out of fragments of crowns from dead gods, and it bring her to madness, tranform her to an uncomplete god figure. She likely chains herself when she feel the madness begin to rise and her body can't function normal anymore.
Dont forget forneus, the shop cat
@@THATBEETLELOVER her crown looks more like some leaves with lines of it
@@THATBEETLELOVERprobably a gift from her Sons before she lost them
The moment he said "The first bishop of Darkwood Leshy is based-"
I immediately said "Inscryption"
Lol
no cuz when i searched up his boss fight on youtube, i didnt specify what game so i just got inscryption
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.
After the newest update, there's some lore into Chemach's backstory within the new comic if you choose her route rather than Claunek's
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 😭
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?
This is what we call in the Warhammer 40k community as a "Grimderp moment"
I'm pretty sure, if you think openly about a lot of the sick shit that happens during the story and the mentality of the god of order (big eye) you'll come to the conclusion that neither reality nor the universe of the Lamb is in any way shape or form something like "fair".
@@lukasadamson6091 Look at the "ascension" ritual and *tell me* the world is "fair" after seeing one of my followers that I just wanted to go to the Afterlife get eaten by whatever entity was up there
Fun fact:one of Chemack lines says that she created her crown by herself, but she doesnt say what its made of
Kallamar having half his face destroyed could be his two faced nature or something
It is possibly, with him being the most painful to defeat, even showcasing just how he is much more capable of fighting, yet wavers before fhe red crown, pleading for mercy even before we face against him, and needing freedom, thus a coward, truly speaks a lot about Kallamar
22:30 "so we can kindly beat the SHIT out of him" I COULDNT AGREE MORE
First thought when fricken midas took my money was "You son of a-"
I M SORRY RATAU THE PROUD DAD IS JUST. I also cant with cat's children THEY WERE SO CUTE HUGGING THEIR MOTHER
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.
There's going to be another major content update, definitely my favourite game!
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.
Well, Leshy couldn't see at all after becoming a follower. But he can sense things.
@@milksalmonthey all lose their ability after becoming followers
I think they lost those abilities because Leshy said something liek *were is my crown damm lamb, i know your are there i can smell you* kinda explaining that he can't see annything
The injuries of his other siblings can be explained like Shamura loste moste of there memories because there head got really damaged badly. Kalemar probably still can hear because part of his ears are gone but has still the most inportand part.
Only Heket is hard to explaining because when you looks for the bishops lost parts her throat had her vocal cords even if she can speak (but Shamura did say it got slit open so maybe it was design choice)
@@juliaboskamp9666heket is shown having some trouble speaking even if she can speak with all the dots
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
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
Like for real though! Kallamer is genuinely a pain in the ass to beat! Then again lore wise it is what makes him unique! Especially with enemies that are capable of both wielding weapons at the same time have the capability to cast fireballs, it all started from Kallamer, again he is still a huge pain in the ass to beat, despite him being such a coward to us the Red Crown
People and animals are usaly more dangerous when they are scared and fear for their life. I guess Kallamar was so afraid of dying and seeing his younger brother that he gave it his all to stay alive.
@@juliaboskamp9666 maybe "more" then his all, my man brought in the whole army
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
Yep. The game makes you a cult leader.
Never played this game, but the combination of 2D and 3D animation and game design is absolutely gorgeous!!
This game feels less like having a cult and more like watching a preschool full of needy kids
Edit:PFFT- 98 LIKES!?
*daycare of the lamb*
@@juliaboskamp9666 OMGYES
As someone who both plays the game and has watched over pre-schoolers- honestly the real kids were less needy T-T
the mating tent: *exists*
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.
Also random thing I just noticed. Maybe the crowns, or at least Chemach’s, are forged in the ethereal dimension the Great Eye lives in? No evidence aside from the floating rocks in the background that have similar eyes to Chemach’s crown.
I think Chemach’s crown is some how related to the greate eye
@@Guard1anfan ooo maybe they sold it to her or something
@@axolotlgod08 yeh cause the eyes on the great eye and the crown are identical
@@Guard1anfanoh I see. That’s what I was saying. The eyes on her crown look like the eyes in the Great Eye and in the background of their home dimension
Now we gotta figure out how an indigestible spider child fits in to this
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
Wait they are??? REUNITE THEMMM
I named "???" Molly lmao I am in the midst of 2 other playthrough but this time with friends, I wander if it will but out the same way
Lmao I named my “????” As “BE NOT AFRAID”
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!!!
Please make a follow up two the lore tablets and other things added in sins of the flesh
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
I love their design too
The sex update
@@Significantharrassment the most intense lore yet
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
He's confirmed to be a cat by the devs, I think one of them even joked Narinder has the zoomies from being trapped for so long.
Woah, you actually included the side quests, its small outcomes, and differing choices we can go with. It’s awesome, thank you! One of the greatest lore videos.
Love the way you did your lore breakdown!! Would also love to see you cover the new secret letters & the knowledge tablets if you haven't done so already! I love that the letters give context to Haro's background as one of the old hunter gods who probably helped kill all of the sheep until meeting the last. (The inverted crown was always such a cool hint to it!)
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?
Yeah and ?
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.
been playing threw this game on stream and man this game is amazing. Thank you for making this video. Helped me understand the story a bit better.
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.
most of creators don't what touch dont starve.
is very unfriendly to beginners(this is supposed to be worked on in the current update cycle), DS lore was very cryptic and mostly only survive by third party wikis , dst lore is a work in progress, SW and H sit on a weird spot on the Canon and let's not even began on the forge and the gorge
This is more, the story of the game not the lore. Its still is really good
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
i feel fighting the teeth in the dark could have been a better option then sacrificing Ratau.
I wished we got a special interaction with Ratau after we defeated The One Who Waits.
More interactions with Ratau in general would be great, since he's a major tie with the lore before lamb.
And then, somehow, webber from hit survival game dont starve joins your cult
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
The art style is so cute I love it
18:51 I see everyone naming the guy with roulette wheel things like “God” or “Great One”
I just named him Steve
I named him Eon
Named him Gaze from Beyond xD
I named him "The Elder" since he's probably the oldest deity in the game.
I named them W.D Gaster
"Eyedol" is what I'd name it.
Yesterday, I beat down all bosses without being hit, and Kallamar was a real challenge for obtaining a trophy - the guy is fast and quite challenging.
Lore is always the best part of a game, and this one has lots of it.
I was expecting like. A lore deep dive not a 1:1 retread of the events of the game.
@s0njamilanovic this is before sins of the flesh was a thing maybe he will make a update with the new lore that we got with sins of the flesh
@@juliaboskamp9666 and by lore you mean how the gameplay loop goes right? Based on what this video covers
We need a part 2 for the Sins of Flesh update🤝🤝
The fact that I can't name the cult "Wrath of the Lamb" infuriates me.
Maybe Lamb's Wrath would be a good alternative?
before the fight, you can see when his followers sacrifice themselves, he rises up in the air, showing his lil feetsies
Leshy, I meant
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
you don’t have to , it’s an option
I do love the theories of the bishops you put in this video it explains a lot in a way
Notably, the skull of Spore Grotto bears a crown-like protrusion on the it's top, though I don't see why a crown would be part of the skull.
THE MAMA CAT AND HER CHILDREN ARE SO WHOLESOME 😭
This game is the definition of high risk high reward
Haro is one of the old gods. He wears a blinded crown, which denotes that he was one of the gods who chose to succeed to the bishops and give up his power in exchange for his life
Also notice how Chemach has missing feathers. Her wings were clipped and she is suspended by chains in an attempt to recreate flight, instead symbolizing her imprisonment.
best vid on yt that ive ever watched , well explained
This is the superior animal crossing, tell me otherwise
Also as a question, who made there cult members grass eaters?
Me
A true reader of the doctrine. Praise the Lamb.
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.
This is the cutest dialogue I've ever read. 24:19 🥺
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.
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
Rammie is kinda their mascot, they make a lot of plushies of him in different shapes and forms. And they sell out FAST qvq
@@chuu-neko4268 yeah learnt that recently when i saw a rammie for bendy
Despite Shamura's skull split open he remains as most smartest and wisest of them all.
20:46 it does, Leshy complains that he cant see and ask where his crown, his crowen let him see things even if this eyes where removed.
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.
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 love this game and this video
"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?
I really get a feeling of the Red Fox will someday will be next villain either on the new dlc or next game.
Finally a lore vid on this game
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 😭
There’s a new DLC called the unholy alliance that’s gonna be coming out.
I named the great eye “Elipsis”, which is the name of the symbol “…”
Because it sounded cool and fitting
I named him jebus
On chemach, it is possible that sje was supposed to craft the crown themselves, and her going insane might be caused by her disobeying the rule to never use one, or might have simply happened and then she made herself a crown
Also she is not a bishop, she is a god (most likely), but has no follow or worshippers
She is still one of the few creatures outaide of the 5 bishops that are still alive from the times before the great purge
Join the cult- I mean ughhh Discord server! discord.gg/kP9cqpeq9W
Chemach(prob spelled wrong) has dialogue where he says he made his own crown, so he probably isn't a god/bishop
That was perfectly spelled
She*
2:56 once he drew me a card to that made me take double damage (i had a card that removed the possitive effect of corrupt card) or take 2x damage to poison, guess he forsaw my death
I cant wait to try it since this month feels like it’s coming on ps plus finally
Are you going to make a part 2 now that sins of the Flesh is out?
Good video. I have only one question: What is crown? I mean how gods(or not) getting them? That is exactly crown?
I just peeped, how come we never fight the enemy type of the one who beheads us in the beginning
Prooobably a cut enemy type that was kept in the cutscene but cut from the game proper?
I believe Narinder (the one who waits) is the father of the too kittens (I saw it in a comic once)
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.
I think you might need to make an updated lore vid for when the sex update drops lol😅😅
He does because the recent update confirms that the crowns or the red crown at least does have a mind of its own.
The traits for the bishops are randomized. My kallamar is a sickly jerk. EDIT: Or, was, before I killed him for stealing my cash.
theres also a detail added when you sacrifice Ratau before defeating The one who waits
18:37 My Brother Named Him "Bob". Just Simply, Bob. No Cool Name. Just Fucking Bob.
Cult of the WildCard
:>
I named the great eye Randy
I can already hear it
“HELLO EVERYONE
Welcome to game theory”
not anymore....
i thought you were joking when you said mushroom guy died of a overdoes i checked he is very dead
its sad this game isnt more popular :(
That statement is a lie
Indeed
Sheep man going crazy
That pronunciation of Narinder just killed me 😭☠ 13:00
Note that in one of chemachs Lines she says that she made her crown herself
I call the mysterious figure Jeff
Cult of the Lamb got an update, Sins of the Flesh, is hoping for an update lore video to much to ask? XD
