Cult of the Lamb finally received a major update that goes by the name of Unholy Alliance. The best thing about this update is that it is completely free and yet we still get to see a lot of great new content. Including the long awaited local co-op mode.

Other than that, we also got to see new building types, tarots, relics, fleeces and much more! Complete information about all the new content of this update is given below.

All the Information You Need About the Unholy Alliance Update

In my opinion, the biggest change is the newly added Local Co-Op mode so let’s first get started with that!

Local Co-Op Mode

Now you are able to summon the Goat who will aid you in your runs. In the Co-Op mode, one of the players will control the Lamb and the other player will play as the Goat.

The game uses the Shared Screen method to achieve this so you won’t have to deal with an annoying vertical or diagonal line in the middle of the screen that comes with the Split Screen method. To play the Co-Op mode, you will need an extra controller. I have provided more information on how to start the Co-Op Mode in a separate guide.

New Buildings

The update brings two new types of buildings which are given below:

Nursery

  • You can build as many Nursery buildings as you like. And In each Nursery building, you can place up to three babies.
  • Babies placed in the Nursery are unable to escape baby jail until they become adults.

Knucklebones Table

  • This building allows you to play a mini-game against another follower of your choosing. You can only play one match per day and if you win, the selected follower will level up. The difficulty of the match is determined by the follower’s current level.
  • This building is unlocked after you defeat the Knucklebone gang at Ratau’s place.
  • You can also play this game with your Co-Op partner.

New Fleeces and Transmog System

Two new Fleeces were added to the game and they are as follow:

  • The Goat
    • With this fleece, you can play as the Goat however it does not have any bonuses. This will be available in the Crown menu after you have unlocked the corrupted Relics and Tarots.
    • This is bugged at the moment so if this fleece does not unlock for you then enable Co-Op mode at least once. Afterwards, check your Crown menu once again.
  • The Cowboy
    • This fleece allows you to play as the Cowboy Lamb. It will be available once you unlock the Blunderbuss. With this fleece equipped, you will always start off with the Blunderbuss.
New Fleeces

Fleece Transmog System

This new system allows you to equip any fleece’s cosmetic design you want on a fleece without having any effect on its traits through the “Custom Appearance” button. However, this option is not available for some fleeces that are regarded as purely cosmetic.

New Relics and Tarot Cards

We also got to see a bunch of new Relics and Tarot Cards get added to the game to spice things up. They are mentioned below:

Relics

  • Normal Relics
    • 12 new normal relics.
  • Corrupted Relics
    • 8 new relics of this type can now be obtained. These relics offer great advantages alongside disadvantages at the same time.

Even with 200+ titles under his belt, his passion for gaming is just as strong as it was a decade ago. Writing has given him the chance to spread this passion with others.
