What Does the Dark Necklace Do in Cult of the Lamb?

Dark Necklace in Cult of the Lamb

Cult of the Lamb has a unique premise where the playable character is a lamb who is saved by The One Who Waits. Once you take control of the lamb, you build a cult, recruit followers, and fight enemies in a roguelike setting.

The game’s different from others, and you strategize in weird ways to run your cult successfully. One important element is gathering resources and collecting items, and the Dark Necklace is an interesting item with a unique ability. 

What Is the Dark Necklace in Cult of the Lamb?

The Dark Necklace in Cult of the Lamb is a unique item that can be used to transfer a follower’s trait and level to someone else. It’s essentially a necklace that provides no buffs, which sets it apart from other jewelry in the game. The necklace is part of an in-game ritual, and you must sacrifice a follower to replace them with Aym, who will inherit their trait and level. The necklace can’t be equipped, and it can only be obtained once. Using it will remove it, and you will never be able to get it again.

To use the Dark Necklace, you first have to decide which follower you want to transform into Aym. Consider their traits and other usefulness, which you want to give to Aym. After deciding, give the Dark Necklace to that follower. Perform the Sacrifice of the Flesh ritual. You must sacrifice the follower, as other demises will render the Dark Necklace useless. If you complete the ritual successfully, Aym will replace the original follower with the inherited stats.

How Do You Get the Dark Necklace in Cult of the Lamb?

Obtaining the Dark Necklace is straightforward, but it requires you to finish the game. Once you complete the game, the Mystic Seller, God Tears, and other post-game content will become available. You can trade with the Mystic Seller, and he will spin a roulette wheel of random rewards for God Tears. Getting the Dark Necklace is luck-reliant, but you can try as many times as you want. Just keep in mind, the Dark Necklace is only usable once, so strategize on which followers to use it on.
