  • How to Complete the Cult Parish Paths in Romeo Is a Dead Man

    The “Space & Me” Cult Parish is one of the more puzzle-focused areas in Romeo is a Dead Man. It starts immediately with a multi-step puzzle shortly after you arrive and meet Jenny. You’ll find yourself in an open space with five pedestals, one cintamani orb, and few clues about what to do next. This puzzle not only blocks your progress through the level but also guards some important collectibles you won’t want to miss.

    While the puzzle isn’t overly hard once you understand the mechanics, the multiple pedestals and color-coded routes can make it confusing and easy to waste time running around in circles. This guide explains each possible route so you can collect everything in one smooth sweep before moving forward.

    How to Solve the Cintamani Puzzle

    After your initial scenes at the parish with Romeo meeting Jenny, you’ll come across the main puzzle for the first half of the level: the cintamani puzzle.

    Here, your goal is to find cintamani orbs and use them to activate specific pedestals in the middle of the area. Doing so will unlock new paths for Romeo. Around the area, you’ll spot small stones indicating which pedestals to activate. You start with only one cintamani orb, so initially, there’s just one route available.

    Below is a breakdown of the different routes you can take based on the cintamani orbs you find:

    Cintamani Needed Description
    Purple Opens a path to the east that leads to a barn containing the second cintamani.
    Purple, Gold Unlocks the northern part of the eastern island, which features a tough enemy gauntlet, some notes, and a badge at the end.
    Gold, Red Opens the route to the central island with fights and resources.
    Red, Silver Opens the western island, which has light platforming (easy with air dashes) and a barn with the third cintamani.
    Silver, Gold, Green Unlocks the rest of the level, providing access to all remaining areas.

    Within this area, activating all three (red, silver, and green) pedestals also opens a path to a badge on the trail to the left of the barn, especially if you activate the green pedestal along with the others.

    Additionally, there’s a route that opens when the green pedestal is active, allowing you to reach the badge on the path beside the barn once all three pedestals—red, silver, and green—are activated.

    Top Strategies for Completing Every New Material in Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven

    In Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven, you’ll have plenty to do, from fighting tough bosses to rebuilding Woolhaven and surviving winter. A lot of your progress depends on several new resources introduced in this expansion.

    These resources are used not only to construct new buildings but also help keep your followers warm and serve as a new currency. You can spend them in Woolhaven to unlock decorations or legendary weapons. Here’s what you need to know about how to gather these key resources in Woolhaven.

    #### How to Get Rotburn
    Rotburn is the most important resource in this expansion, as it keeps your followers warm during winter. You can earn Rotburn through various methods:
    – Opening dungeon chests
    – Destroying Rotburn crystals in dungeons
    – Crafting it at the Refiner
    – Mining Rotburn from specific mines
    – Defeating enemies while the Lost Bones tarot card is active
    – Dead Rotten Followers
    – Beating a boss

    The most reliable way to get Rotburn is by collecting it from Rotburn Mines or harvesting it from specific nodes like flaming skulls during dungeon runs. Since it’s essential for survival, always pick up Rotburn whenever possible, as you’ll need plenty of it throughout the expansion.

    #### How to Get Wool
    Wool is the main currency for this update. It’s used to craft clothing, buy items in Woolhaven, and offer to the graves of the town’s deceased. You’ll find yourself needing a lot of Wool, as Spirit inhabitants often require 100 Wool just for a reward. You can gather Wool by:
    – Shearing your livestock in the Ranch
    – Opening dungeon chests
    – Destroying frozen ancestors in dungeons
    – Using the Shearing Blade tarot card
    – Ascending prime animals

    Shearing livestock is the primary way to get Wool. Building a large Ranch allows you to raise many animals, which increases Wool production. You can also breed animals using a Hutch to save Wool spent on Baraq. Upgrading your Ranch when possible is beneficial, and assigning followers to shear the animals will boost your output.

    #### How to Get Charged Shards
    Charged Shards are mostly used for crafting decorations, Pure Yewbark, or heaters to block snow buildup in your base. Usually, you’ll earn them during dungeon runs until you unlock Lightning Rods later in the expansion. You can obtain Charged Shards by:
    – Finding them in dungeon chests
    – Destroying generators during dungeon excursions
    – Using Lightning Rods to passively generate Shards during storms
    – Defeating bosses

    Once Lightning Rods are available, place several around your base to passively generate Charged Shards during snowstorms. Collect these from the chests at each lightning rod, ensuring you have a steady supply to prevent snow buildup and make heaters unnecessary.

    —

    #### How to Get Rotgrit
    Rotgrit is a less useful material, only accessible once your Furnace reaches level 3. After upgrading, a chest in front of the Furnace produces Rotgrit as it consumes fuel. Its only purpose is to be converted into Rotburn in the Refiner. Since you’ll likely have enough Rotburn from other sources, Rotgrit isn’t required for much and can usually be ignored.

    —

    #### How to Get Cursed and Pure Yewbark
    Cursed Yewbark and Pure Yewbark are two sides of the same material. Cursed Yewbark can be found in dungeon chests or by killing enemies inside dungeons. However, farming for this material depends heavily on luck, and it appears only during mountain runs. You’ll get it fairly often in The Rot, so playing through the campaign should yield enough for your needs.

    Pure Yewbark is crafted at your base using the Refiner, costing two Cursed Yewbark and two Charged Shards. Since it’s necessary for rebuilding Woolhaven, craft as much of it as you can to unlock all new features and quest boards quickly.

  • Unlocking the Dragon Cult Prayerbook in Elden Ring

    Unlocking the Dragon Cult Prayerbook in Elden Ring

    The Dragon Cult Prayerbook is an essential item in Elden Ring, granting access to exclusive sorceries bestowed by the ancient dragons. While many spells and incantations in the game can be found by exploring or defeating specific enemies, some of the more potent ones are hidden within books scattered throughout the Lands Between.

    This guide will walk you through the process of acquiring the Dragon Cult Prayerbook and reveal how to unlock the powerful Lightning Incantations it contains.

    Where to Find the Dragon Cult Prayerbook

    To obtain the Dragon Cult Prayerbook, you need to defeat a lone Leyndell Knight stationed south of the Artist’s Shack in Liurnia of the Lakes.

    Start from the Lake-Facing Cliffs Site of Grace. After defeating Godrick the Grafted and exiting Stormveil Castle, this will be the first Site of Grace you encounter.

    Head east and drop down, using the stone slabs as stepping stones. Continue heading north until you reach the Artist’s Shack, which is marked on your map. Avoid going left, as that will lead you towards Liurnia of the Lakes.

    The Artist’s Shack is located directly east of the Raya Lucaria Academy and west of the Divine Tower of Liurnia.

    Once you reach the Artist’s Shack, unlock the Site of Grace and proceed south to find the Leyndell Knight patrolling the area. You can recognize these knights by their distinctive golden armor covering them from head to toe.

    The Leyndell Knight is a challenging foe, especially if you’re at a lower level with limited health. This knight wields a spear and utilizes Lightning Incantations that can easily defeat unprepared players.

    To increase your chances of success, try to backstab the Leyndell Knight by approaching with stealth. Maintain your distance and heal whenever necessary. After defeating the knight, you will receive the Dragon Cult Prayerbook as a guaranteed drop.

    How to Utilize the Dragon Cult Prayerbook

    To make use of the Dragon Cult Prayerbook, you must give it to either Brother Corhyn or Miriel, the pastor of vows.

    You can locate Corhyn at Roundtable Hold and Miriel, who is a turtle pope, at the Church of Vows, situated directly north of the Artist’s Shack. Speaking with Miriel will provide you with a wealth of lore.

    Once you present the book to either individual, they will allow you to learn the incantations found within the Dragon Cult Prayerbook, which includes three Lightning Incantations.

    If you’re building a sorcerer character with a focus on the Golden Order, it’s advisable to acquire all three incantations from the Dragon Cult Prayerbook.
