Cult of the Lamb revolves around building a robust cult and engaging in crusades against heretics. As you progress through different biomes, you encounter diverse enemies, including those with resilient shields. To triumph over such adversaries, mastering heavy attacks is crucial.
Heavy attacks, which deliver substantial damage, serve as alternative weapon strikes. However, these potent maneuvers are not initially accessible and require unlocking as you advance in the game.
How to Unlock Heavy Attacks
To unlock heavy attacks in Cult of the Lamb, progress through the Crown skill tree in your Temple until you reach the Weapon Mastery upgrade. This involves conducting daily sermons with as many followers as possible. Alternatively, you can opt for the Sacrifice of the Flesh ritual, which grants enhanced power and an upgrade point in exchange for 75 bones and the sacrifice of a cultist's life. Once Tier 3 skills are unlocked, invest in Weapon Mastery to empower all weapons with heavy attacks.
How To Use Heavy Attacks
Utilizing heavy attacks incurs a cost in the form of Fervor consumption. While heavy attacks demand less Fervor compared to curses, an empty Fervor bar renders you unable to execute them. The specific button for initiating heavy attacks varies based on your device, such as R for Nintendo Switch, RB for Xbox, R1 for PlayStation, and Shift for keyboard. If these controls are not optimal, custom key bindings can be configured to suit your preference.
Addressing Heavy Attack Challenges
Encountering formidable heretic enemies wielding impenetrable shields can present a challenge. Attempting to break their shields with heavy attacks proves futile, leading to frustration. However, the game does not explicitly disclose that these adversaries require a unique approach. To overcome them, deflect their projectiles back at them to shatter their shields and emerge victorious.
Mastering heavy attacks in Cult of the Lamb is indispensable for surmounting formidable adversaries. By unlocking and effectively utilizing this capability, you can bolster your cult's strength and resilience, ensuring your success in the crusade against heretics.
