What each player can do here
- Player one is the Lamb for the whole campaign; the Goat is player two. The update that added co-op made it local only.
- The Goat joins from the pause menu on a second controller. The two players can trade weapons, get extra damage fighting back to back, and land a critical hit when their attacks connect together.
If your skill levels differ: Weapons can be swapped between the Lamb and the Goat, so give the newer player whichever weapon they handle best and keep the two of you close for the back-to-back bonus. The store page also lists a difficulty choice. How to split the roles
Getting in
Part 1 of 5. Open the door and learn the run structure.
- BothSilk Cradle is the far-right door north of the cult and needs at least 12 Followers.
- BothThe first two runs have three rooms before the miniboss, the third has five, and the fourth has five rooms before Shamura.single source
Run 1: Focalor
Part 2 of 5. Beat the first miniboss.
- BothFocalor lunges after a white glow; step to the side.
- BothIt climbs away on a thread, leaving small spiders behind, then crashes onto a red target. Stay off the target and roll through the ring of shots that the landing throws out.
Where people tend to fall
- TechRaptor's advice is patience: hit it in the short gaps between attacks and don't rush in right after a slam.
Run 2: Vephar
Part 3 of 5. Beat the second miniboss.
- BothVephar mostly lets the spiders it summons do the fighting. Kill them quickly.
- BothIt lobs green poison shots that leave puddles. Avoid the landing marks so the puddles don't box you into a corner.
- BothHit it, and back off for a few seconds when spikes come out of its body.
Run 3: Hauras
Part 4 of 5. Beat the third miniboss.
- BothHauras fires rings of shots and a spinning stream. Roll through the rings, and stay out of reach while the stream turns.
- BothIts lunge covers a lot of ground. Dodge it, then hit while it recovers.
- BothA line of green shots leaves a poison trail behind; don't walk through it.
Run 4: Shamura
Part 5 of 5. Beat the last Bishop.
- BothShamura slashes fast at close range. Roll in for a few hits and roll out again instead of staying next to it.
- BothIt throws exploding shots that land on marked spots. Clear the marks, then use the opening to hit it.
- BothIt leaps and slams down, often several times in a row, and the landings throw out rings of shots. Slip through the gaps between them.
- BothThe lower its health, the more often and more aggressively it attacks, including several swipes in a row. Dodge sideways as the arm comes round.
