How to unlock new Fleeces in Cult of the Lamb

By

Cult of the Lamb gives you a few ways to customize your playstyle. Fleeces are one of the main methods, as these items can radically alter how you experience Crusades. Some might grant you increased damage for killing enemies, while others will have you draw Tarot cards at the start of a new adventure. But unlocking Fleeces isn’t easy — and it’ll take a lot of dedication to unlock them all.

Collect four pieces of a Holy Talisman

Before you can unlock a Fleece, you’ll need to collect four pieces of a Holy Talisman. Once you’ve gathered all four corners, you’ll have a completed Holy Talisman that can be swapped for a Fleece. Early on in the game, these will be rare resources, but you’ll quickly discover plenty of ways to add them to your inventory. Here are a few:

  • Complete quests for the Fisherman. This character can be found at Pilgrim’s Passage and will pass out pieces of the Holy Talisman for tackling a few quests.

  • Complete quests for Sozo. Sozo is one of the most memorable characters in Cult of the Lamb. Not only do they teach you the Brainwashing Ritual, but they’ll give you a Holy Talisman piece for carrying out a few other quests.

  • Bring an Eye of Witness to Plimbo. You’ll find an Eye of Witness after replaying old areas you’ve already cleared. Pass one of these on to Plimbo for a Holy Talisman fragment.

  • Sacrifice followers to Midas. Midas can be found in the aptly named Midas’s Cave.

  • Chat with the Cloaked Figure. This mysterious being can be found at all four map locations in the middle of the night. They’ll ask for a variety of objects and will return the favor with a Holy Talisman fragment. Some of their requests are a bit steep — so don't take these conversations lightly.

How to unlock new Fleeces

With your completed Holy Talisman in hand, you’re ready to unlock a new Fleece. Here’s what you’ll need to do.

Step 1: Head to your Shrine.

Step 2: Interact with the Altar at the end of the Shrine.

Step 3: Select the Crown option.

Step 4: Scroll down to the Fleeces section.

Step 5: Select the Fleece you’d like to unlock. There are five in total, each one offering a distinct perk while out on Crusades.

Step 6: Once a Fleece has been unlocked, simply click on it to have your character wear it and gain the corresponding benefits.

Fleeces are incredibly useful items. They don’t come easy (and you’ll have to sink several hours into Cult of the Lamb before getting your first), but they’re more than worth the effort. Fleeces both help you overcome the odds when in battle and add significant replayability to the game. Be sure to check them all out to see how they’ll impact your time with Cult of the Lamb.

How to unlock Jun and Reina’s Character Episodes in Tekken 8

In classic Tekken fashion, Tekken 8 is full of lore, as well as additional "what if" lore content. With a brilliant new story mode and a lot of catch-up material jam-packed into the game, there's a lot to take in.

Accompanying all of the canon narratives of the title are Character Episodes — mini arcade mode runs that feature each character in their final matches of the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Upon completing four fights, you're given a gorgeous cinematic ending that showcases what would happen if your selected fighter wins.

Tekken 8's story doesn't end with the completion of story mode. There are still a few loose ends that the "The Dark Awakens" story mode doesn't cover. The big elephant in the room for fans everywhere is: What happened to Jun Kazama — if Ogre didn't kill her, what happened?

While we don't find out the exact truth in the main story mode, we can unlock Jun's Side Story to find it.

Children of the Sun turns sniping into a pitch-black puzzle game
A bullet travels towards a man in Children of the Sun.

I've played a whole lot of puzzle games in my life, but I can safely say that I've never played one as pitch-black as Children of the Sun.

Published by Devolver Digital, the newly announced Children of the Sun is an unholy hybrid between a shooter and a spatial reasoning game. It follows a lone wolf with a sniper rifle on a bloody quest for revenge against an evil religious cult. He has to take out swaths of zealots one bullet at a time. It's as dark as video game premises get, but one that's steeped in a clever genre fusion. After trying its challenging and bloody first levels, you can consider my curiosity morbidly piqued.
One shot
Children of the Sun wears its tone on its sleeve. Cutscenes between levels tease out a bloody cultist story in a wordless motion comic complete with raw illustrations. At first glance, it comes off as a little overly edgy. "Evil religious cult" has become one of gaming's most overused clichés at this point -- three of the last four games I've played this year use the trope. Fortunately, developer René Rother seems to be going for more of a tone piece than a deep story here. It nails that aspect, using dark visuals and oppressive electronic music that give the world a creeping sense of dread.
