Every isolated commune of like-minded believers needs a farming plot, and the Cult of the Lamb is no exception. The humble little Farming Plot is one of the first structures that the Lamb will be able to build in the headquarters, and it’s useless without seeds to plant. Buildings like Scarecrows will help guard the newly planted crops against hungry birds, while seed Silos and Farmer Stations motivate followers to do the planting and harvesting.
By the time the friendly NPC Ratau appears to gift the main character with suitable space for their new temple and cult dwellings, they’ll already have a few seeds tucked in their cloven hooves. All plants require the same level of care and watering without the fuss of placing them in certain areas or harvesting them at different times. Best to get them planted and cultivated as much as possible to be used for cooking, building, and other spiritual diversions.
Updated January 28, 2024, by Kristy Ambrose: In the years since Cult of the Lamb was first released, there have been several smaller bug fixes, DLCs, and new content added with the new Sins of the Flesh update. More buildings, Rites, Doctrines, and crafting options also mean more seeds for the farm. In fact, with the new choices available, you can build a vineyard or a field of hops next to the new Drinkhouse, Drum Circle, and Mating Tent. There’s also the Tailor, which requires materials that can be grown on the Farm. And of course, there are new Seeds, and this article has been updated to include them.
Cult Of The Lamb: Guide To Building Materials
To grow their cult, the Lamb will have to take on some building projects. Here’s how to gather the necessary materials.
Mowing down plants, even the humble grass, will yield not only blossoms or vegetables, but their seeds as well. Players can also purchase seeds from some of the game’s vendors. One vendor that sells only seeds and vegetables, Rakshasa, appears in Anura. After completing the dungeon, he appears outside the gate to Anchordeep. Another method is to task selected Followers with a Pilgrimage that targets seeds.
9 Grapes
Needed For Wine And Can Also Be Food
A sumptuous new fruit, sweet delicious Grapes, are now available in Cult of the Lamb as part of the Sins of The Flesh update. They can be harvested in upgraded versions of the dungeons, usually in the mapped section. Follow the icon that looks like a bunch of hanging grapes.
Cult Of The Lamb: How To Get The Wolf Follower Form
Getting the Wolf Follower Form in Cult of the Lamb requires players to find and complete a quest. Here’s how to get it done.
After clearing Anura once, players can start upgrading their cult compound with new seeds before starting to cut a path to the new versions of the old bosses. Rakshasa is on the bottom left of the screen, and the Lamb can buy some grape seeds directly from him. A few Grapes are required to build the Drinkhouse, and they are the main ingredient in making Grape Nectar, Juniper Drink, and Fruit Elixir, three of the bar’s cocktails.
8 Camellia Seed
Essential For The Healing Bay
Cut down grown Camellia plants to collect both blossoms and seeds for this decorative plant. It’s one of the first seeds the Lamb will find on their travels, and is common in Darkwood. The seed icon consists of a smaller red and black blossom and two red seeds.
The mature Camellia Plant is a great way to beautify the cult compound with decorations and flower beds, but it’s also an essential component of the Healing Bay. Once the Healing Bay is built, it costs a certain amount of Camellia blossoms to heal a sick cultist. In addition to first aid, it’s also one of the ingredients needed for the Fruit Elixir.
7 Berry Bush Seed
A Basic Food Staple
The Lamb will find these at the very start of their journey. It’s one of the first plants that can be harvested or cut down during the initial “tutorial” run. The Bush Berry Seed icon looks like a big seed with a sprout growing from it, and it’s hardy and plentiful, ideal for a starter seed.
Cult of the Lamb: How to Level Up Followers
Here is how players can improve their relationship with their fellow followers in Cult of the Lamb to increase their loyalty.
The Basic Berry Bowl requires only the fruit of the Berry Bush, so it keeps Followers from starving for little trouble and a low price. It has a much lower chance of making followers sick than other meals at this level. It can also be used to make the Juniper Drink at the Drinkhouse.
6 Cauliflower Seed
Used To Make Several Advanced Dishes
The Cauliflower seed is commonly found after the Lamb has defeated Seket, the ruler of Anura. Follow the Food icon when Crusading to find a crop of these hearty vegetables and some useful seeds. The Seed Vendor outside Anchordeep also has them.
Cauliflower seeds look like the smaller version of their bigger counterparts. They are the main ingredient in some higher-level dishes that keep Cultists happy and healthy. One example is Cheery Cauliflower Chowder, which has a 25% chance of causing the follower who eats it to drop resources instead of poop, and it only has a 5% chance of causing illness.
5 Cotton Seeds
A New Item For The Tailor
Cotton isn’t as useful as food, but it’s still an important crop for one of the new buildings, the Tailor. As the Lamb goes Crusading, they’ll come across some new blueprints. But these are patterns for clothing, and they can be unlocked or found in several ways.
Cotton seeds can be purchased from the vendor outside Anchordeep, or picked up during the Crusades. The seeds look like smaller versions of the full-size plants, but without stems. Follow these icons or look for smaller ones that have several mixed veggie symbols.
4 Pumpkin Seed
An Important Part Of A Balanced, Plant-Based Diet
These seeds start to appear in Anura and can also be purchased from the Seed Vendor. The Pumpkin Seed is a small pumpkin icon that looks similar to the actual pumpkin, just like the cauliflower.
Cult Of The Lamb: 6 Best Sins Doctrines To Pick
Sins Doctrines in Cult of the Lamb allow players to capitalize on the sin’s committed by their cult’s followers, making the cult even more powerful.
The Splendid Vegetable Feast is one of the high-quality dishes the Lamb can make for their flock, and pumpkin is one of the ingredients. It’s also the only vegetable required to make Paltry Pumpkin Soup. This is a basic dish, but only has a 5% chance of making the follower sick.
3 Beetroot Seed
A High-Level Vegetable For Advanced Dishes
The Lamb probably won’t see Beetroot until they reach Anchordeep or Silk Cradle later in the game, but it’s also available from vendors. The seeds of this turnip-like vegetable look like two smaller versions of beetroots with black dots. The mature plants are distinctive and grow oversized leaves when ready to be harvested.
Just like in real life, beetroot plants are a low-maintenance food with some great health benefits. It’s the main ingredient in the Magnificent Mixed Meal, a higher-level recipe that has a 100% chance of increasing Loyalty and keeping cultists from spreading dissent.
2 Hops Seeds
Essential For Gathering Sin
Hops are a herb, not a vegetable, so they can’t be used for cooking. However, this fragrant and useful plant is needed to build the Drinkhouse, along with some grapes and wooden planks. It’s also needed to make some of the new beverages.
Cult of the Lamb: How to Get the Drinktender Vest Outfit
Sling some spirits and snag this snazzy suit in Cult of the Lamb: Sins of the Flesh.
The Bog Brew is a simple drink that only requires hops to make, so it might be the first beverage to appear in the new Drinkhouse. Hops are also an ingredient in other concoctions like the Fruit Elixir and Poop Juice.
1 Menticide Mushroom Spore
Needed For Rituals And Buildings
The Lamb will start to pick these up as they venture into the rotting forests of Anura, where the mushrooms are plentiful. This is also when players discover Spore Grotto and its leader, Sozo, where the mushrooms and their spores can be bought or traded for other valuable items.
The mushroom spore icon looks like several smaller versions of full-grown Menticide Mushrooms. They drop not only from the mushrooms cut down in the Crusades, but also the Mushroomos, the followers of Sozo, should players choose to attack them.
Unlike other seeds that can be used as a cooking regent, mushrooms are used to make decorative structures and perform special rituals. The Brainwashing Ritual is a gift from Sozo after the Lamb brings him an offering of 20 mushrooms. It’s possible to gather them, but easier to acquire them by growing a generous amount in the compound’s seed plot.
