This guide covers the initial steps for installing Cult of the Lamb and launching the game for the first time. It also details some of the earliest achievements you can unlock as you begin your journey as a cult leader.

The Beginning Achievements

Deal with the Devil
This is one of the easiest achievements in the game and pops up after you choose to start a cult for the "One Who Waits".

Indoctrinate Follower
After you meet with Ratau, and as he tells you important things about bringing about a cult and such, you will soon have the ability to indoctrinate your first follower into your cult.

First Mini-Boss Defeated
You will get this achievement after you defeat your first ever mini-boss. As you progress through the game, it will almost be impossible to miss this achievement.

First Doctrine Chosen
You will get this achievement after you choose your first doctrine.

First Ritual Performed
You will get this achievement after you perform your first ritual. This is story-related so it can't really be missed.

Knucklebones Champion
Exactly how it sounds. Just win a game of knucklebones. You should learn how to play knucklebones here if you want to 100% Cult of the Lamb, because there is an even harder achievement relating to knucklebones.

Follower Dies of Old Age
You will get this achievement when your first follower dies of old age. This will happen eventually as you progress in your cult of the lamb game.

First Sacrifice Made
This achievement you get after you sacrifice a follower for the first time. Once you get the sacrificing ritual, the rest should be easy. It is suggested to sacrifice followers as you play the game, because there is an achievement where you need to sacrifice 10 followers.

Follower Meat Acquired
As you go through the game you will probably come across the meat of your dead followers (for when you sacrifice or harvest the meat from a dead follower). You can also get follower meat from Chemach (by destroying the wrapped-up dead bodies).
