The chanting was hypnotic, the air thick with incense. Then the elder spoke: “Woolhaven awaits, but the path is not free.” Now, the Cult of the Lamb‘s Woolhaven DLC is here, adding a new region and a captivating campaign to the base game.
You probably already know that Woolhaven is a post-launch expansion, so finishing the core game is a must. But there’s more to it than that; this guide is designed to give you everything you need to jump into the new story.
Entering the Gates of Woolhaven in Cult of the Lamb
Ever notice how the best secrets always have a price? Since Woolhaven is a paid DLC, make sure you own it on your platform. I picked it up via Steam.
- Fire up Cult of the Lamb, then head to the DLC section.
- Activate Woolhaven and go back to the main menu. Feel free to keep other DLCs active if you want.
- Load your existing save file to move to the next step.
Next up, you’ll need to defeat all four Bishops from the main campaign. Veteran players likely have this in the bag already. Newcomers? Expect about 12-13 hours of gameplay to conquer the Bishops. Taking down The One Who Waits? That’s optional.
Made it this far? Excellent. Here’s the home stretch.
- Head to the teleporter on the north side of your base.
- Spot the Yngya statue close to the teleporter.
- Interact with the statue to open Woolhaven and begin the campaign.
What resources do I need to start Woolhaven?
Like all journeys, this one requires supplies. Prepare to gather these resources:
- Five Mushrooms
- Five Crystals
- Five Silk
- One Sin
Your followers can generate sin, while the other items aren’t too hard to come by. Complete these offerings, and you can access the new campaign and all it contains. Think of it as a toll, the cost of admission to a new world. It’s like planting a seed – a little effort yields a whole new harvest.
The game will activate Woolhaven content only once the DLC is live. A backup save is made automatically if you revert to your base before the Woolhaven campaign begins.
Can I use my old saves in Woolhaven?
Think of your save file like a passport, needing the proper stamps and approvals to enter a new country. As mentioned, finishing the core game is a must. Once the Bishops are defeated and Woolhaven is properly installed, your existing save is the key to opening the gates.
What if Woolhaven is not showing up?
Sometimes, even the most devoted Lamb can face technical hiccups. Double-check that the DLC is both purchased and enabled on your platform. Restarting the game or your system can often resolve visibility issues.
So, are you ready to accept the elder’s challenge and brave the path to Woolhaven, or will you remain within the familiar fold?
