Cult of the Lamb Map Icons Explained

In Cult of the Lamb, each Crusade run is randomized, however, once you get past the first set of rooms, the rest of the Crusade map is revealed. The map will include various symbols and routes.

You must choose one path to take all the way to the final battle. Do note that, at the beginning of each Crusade, you’ll be placed at the bottom of a web and will have to work your way up.

Each node gives you the option of taking a different path, but doing so locks the future nodes therefore, the path is crucial in the game.

Early on in the game, your goal should be to amass as much Lumber as possible. The more quickly you can restore critical cult structures, the more successful your cult. You’ll also want New Followers, so pick a path that has both for all-out progress.

However, once you’ve progressed past the early stages of the game and established a solid foundation, you should prioritize Pray, Tarot, Shop, Hearts, or Events. These will increase your chances of success in the run.
