Cult of the Lamb guide: All weapons and curses

CULT of the Lamb has a huge range of weapons and curses – its version of magic – which appear randomly as you play.

You don’t get to choose what comes up, but you can increase the chances of powerful items by sacrificing followers, or completing the weapons and curses upgrade tree.

Through this you can unlock new weapon types such as Merciless, Vampiric, and Necromantic.

This guide is all about the weapons and curses you can find. For Cult of the Lamb rituals, and Cult of the Lamb doctrines, you can find them both in the link above.

Here are all the weapons and curses you can find.
