How to Heal Sick Followers in Cult of the Lamb

In horror stories about cults, you often hear about people being forced to live in unkempt, unsanitary conditions, leading to rampant disease. That is just no way to run a community, cult-based or otherwise. When you have a commune of your own in Cult of the Lamb, make sure you take proper care of your flock. Here’s how to heal sick followers in Cult of the Lamb.

How to Heal Sick Followers in Cult of the Lamb

Occasionally, the followers of your cult in Cult of the Lamb will fall ill. They’ll be pretty visibly queasy when this happens, and if you don’t take prompt action, they could die. You can’t get faith and manpower from a corpse, so you need to ensure they get better.

Despite what you may expect from this game, though, there’s nothing magical about good health. When a follower gets sick, you need to assign them to Bed Rest. They’ll be out of action for a while while they recover, but with time, they’ll be back on their feet and ready to do their part again.

More importantly than healing sick followers is preventing sickness from taking root in the first place. Unsanitary conditions throughout your community will cause followers to fall ill much more frequently. Things like poop, vomit, and unburied corpses act as vectors for disease, so you’ll need to either clean it all up yourself or get a follower on janitorial duty.

Whenever you return from a Crusade, you should make a habit of giving your community a once-over to ensure there are no icky elements lying around. If there’s any poop or vomit lying around, clean it up, and if there are unburied corpses, either from followers who succumbed to illness or leftover from rituals, make sure to bury them right away. This may be a demon-worshipping cult in a forest, but that’s no excuse for poor hygiene.
