Cult of The Lamb Follower Gifts: Types & Benefits

Gifts in Cult of The Lamb can drastically increase your followers performance, if given to the correct one.

When you ravage through the dungeons and defeat enemies, you are rewarded with chests. These chests contain a Gift sometimes, which is not for you but for your followers back in the village. Players usually ignore the part of the game, mostly because they’re unaware of this entire process. But we’re here to tell you how you can surprise your followers with these gifts.

Key Highlights
  • In Cult Of The Lamb, when you acquire chests and open them, sometimes you receive the item “Gift” which you can give to the followers in your cult.
  • The whole mechanism of Cult Of The Lamb requires you to have good Faith Levels and that can be done by gifting your followers.
  • The gifts that you find also range, such as Necklaces, Big Gifts, and small gifts.
  • Depending on what type of gift you give them, loyalty will increase accordingly.
  • Chests are not the only way to find gifts, they can also be bought from vendors.

Gifts for the Wicked

Gifting your followers is just a side thing and not a necessary step to progress. But after reading further, you will realize how much easier the game progress can become, all because of these Gifts.

A leader should give treats or gifts to their followers, even if it’s a cult or at least a cult with cute animal cultists. So let’s understand how to keep your flock happy through gifts and the potential benefits of it.

Types Of Gifts For Followers

A gift can be useful, or it can be good as a display. Just like that, the game also has gifts that give a follower a special power. Sometimes it can simply increase their loyalty to you.

These types of gifts are:

  • Necklaces
  • Big Gifts
  • Small Gifts

2 Different types of gifts.
Necklace

The gifts with powers are Necklaces, and there are a total of five necklaces, each with different abilities. These necklaces are Skull Necklace, Nature’s Necklace, Moon Necklace, Flower Necklace, and Feather Necklace. Once collected, you can find them in the Give Gift option during interaction with a Follower. 

Big And Small Gifts

Necklaces aren’t the only gifts you can discover; and there are Big Gifts and Small Gifts too. Though they don’t carry as much value as the Necklaces do, they still come in handy. 

The only purpose the Gifts hold is to raise your followers’ loyalty. Loyalty helps in running the cult and securing devotion. The loyalty bar can appear above your follower’s head during the process. The devotion bar can be found at the Shrine during prayers.

Hand over these gifts to every follower once in a while to avoid them going astray. The lower the loyalty bar, the more chances of followers transgressing. 

Even though both gifts serve the same purpose, there is a single breach between the two gift sizes. It might already be obvious, but Big gifts raise the loyalty bar more than Smaller gifts. 

Collecting Gifts For Your Followers

Getting gifts for your cultists can be hard and easy at the same time. That is because it is a completely random part of the game. If you’ve invested even an hour in playing, chances are you’ve already collected these gifts by doing runs. There are multiple ways in Cult of The Lamb by which you can obtain gifts for the follower.

Every time you go dungeon crawling, explore each area for chests and boxes. Loot every room properly, and chances are you’ll collect a gift. Once you complete a run, you can be rewarded with a gift in return too.

Another way is to buy Gifts from a vendor. Find vendors during your dungeon adventures and buy the gift of your choice from them.

The drop rate of each gift seems pretty random in the game, so no gift holds many rarities or common positions. Some gifts like Skull Necklace or Moon Necklace do have better abilities and perks, though.  

How To Give Gift To Your Follower

After completing an area in any of the four dungeons, the player collects gifts along with other resources. Make sure to give these items for higher loyalty and special attributes in your herds. But how to give gifts? 

Once you arrive back in your village, do the following steps to hand over the gift to your follower:

  1. Go to the follower you think requires that gift
  2. Speak to the Follower and choose the Interact option symbolized by a speaker
  3. Choose the gift symbol named “Give Gift.” 
  4. Option of available gifts will pop up; choose the one you think the follower needs

That’s all! Your followers will right away equip the Necklace if you gift them one. Or the loyalty bar of that follower will rise if it’s a normal gift.

Giving Gifts to followers is easy.
A thing to know before gifting someone is that you can not regain possession of the gift once it’s handed over, not unless the follower is dead. If the follower is sacrificed, the Necklace can not be retrieved by the player. 

Benefits Of Each Gift

As already mentioned, five Necklaces can be gifted to a cultist. Each necklace possesses a special power and transfers its supernatural perks to the follower who wears it. And once these supernatural followers are offered up for sacrifice, they drop off greater resources and bonuses in return.  

  1. Skull Necklace:
    • Extends follower lifespan, preventing high-level followers from dying early.
    • Increases devotion, leading to more Divine Inspiration.
    • Assign followers with Skull Necklace important roles, like Tax Collector or Loyalty Officer.
  2. Nature’s Necklace:
    • Enhances natural resource harvesting (woods, stones, crops).
    • Bestows bonus only during resource harvesting, not affecting Refinery output.
    • Boost performance by placing a Propaganda Speaker near the Necklace wearer.
  3. Moon Necklace:
    • Eliminates the need for sleep, keeping the follower working without breaks.
    • Avoid giving it to Slothful followers to maximize benefits.
    • Be cautious about exhaustion if possessed at a Demon Summoning Circle; order sleep to prevent death.
  4. Flower Necklace:
    • Accelerates devotion generation for the Shrine in the village.
    • Ideal for Priests to generate more devotion, reducing the need for Shrine Duty.
    • Collect daily devotion to unlock new possibilities and upgrade buildings.
  5. Feather Necklace:
    • Increases movement speed for efficient village work.
    • Suitable for followers without standout Traits, enhancing overall village efficiency.
    • Use it to expedite tasks or change building placement in the village.
  6. Big Gifts:
    • Symbolized by a black box with a red ribbon bow, Big Gift raises the loyalty of a Follower.
    • You can give it to anyone with a low loyalty bar.
    • So instead of keeping a Big gift in your inventory and gaining no benefit from it, hand it over as soon as you get it.
  7. Small Gifts:
    • Small Gift is symbolized by a brown cloth wrapped around with rope.
    • The size difference means small gifts give lesser loyalty increase than Big Gift.
