How to Unlock All Curses

Uncover how to unlock every Curse in Cult of the Lamb. Learn about Flaming Shot, Hounds of Fate, Death's Sweep, and more, including their unlock conditions and effects.

Alright, let's talk about Curses in Cult of the Lamb! These are your go-to spells when you need a little extra oomph in combat, but you'll need enough Fervour to cast them. Remember, you can only have one Curse equipped at a time. ### Getting Your Hands on Curses Most Curses are unlocked through the Sermon system in your Cult. As you level up your Sermons, you'll unlock new Curse options. Here's a breakdown of how to get them: * Default: Some Curses are available right from the start. These include: * Flaming Shot * Divine Blast * Death's Sweep * Ichor Thrown * Curse of the Horde (Tier 1 Sermon): This sermon unlocks: * Hounds of Fate * Point of Corruption * Curse of the Occultist (Tier 2 Sermon): This unlocks: * Cleansing Fire * Divine Guardian * Curse of the Tundra (Tier 3 Sermon): This one gives you: * Divine Blizzard * Death's Squall * Curse of the Necromancer (Tier 4 Sermon): Get ready for: * Divine Blight * Death's Attendant * Curse of the Beguiler (Tier 5 Sermon): The final sermon tier unlocks: * Strike of the Crown * Oath of the Crown * Burning Curses: There are also two Curses associated with 'Burning Curses': * Divine Pyre * Death's Blaze It's worth noting that the source text doesn't detail the exact unlock method for 'Burning Curses,' but they are likely tied to specific events or progression within the game. ### Understanding Curse Stats Each Curse has a damage value, but that's not the whole story. The actual damage you deal is calculated using a formula that takes into account: * Your Fleece's damage multiplier (like Golden Fleece or Glass Cannon Fleece). * Any Trinket damage multipliers (from Tarot Cards). * Player Run damage multipliers (from things like the Iron Maiden). * The Curse's level. So, even a basic Curse can become quite powerful as you level it up and stack buffs! Keep an eye on your Fervour, and experiment with different Curses to see which ones fit your playstyle best.
