Who Are the Bishops of the Old Faith? - Cult of the Lamb Lore

2:33 well that aged poorly

interesting lore, its weird out all of them leshy is the chaotic one who is neutral and just leaves your followers alone. interesting

I personally like to think that Kallamar is so difficult is because he's so 'desperate' to live, he is so afraid of death and so afraid of The One who Waits, especially referencing when he says "don't send me to him", that he fights twice as hard as the others, doing everything in his power to slay you, delay you, keep you away for another day or 2. The other 3 bishops were either overly confident or very determined, (Leshy/Heket) that they didn't think defeat was possible. Leshy was youngest and thus inexperienced, so he acted rashly and boldly, thinking he could take you alone for the most part, Heket was older and probably more experienced and so probably learned from Leshy's mistakes. Heket constantly sends in a stream of followers to tie you up, distract you, and even calls in mini bosses to try and aid them. Shamura, she probably had 'accepted' that there were only 'two' options by the time you face her, either she maintains the chain keeping The One who Waits and keeps on defeating you, or she had to 'hope' that you would defeat The One who Waits, in reference to her line (Five becomes four becomes three becomes two becomes one becomes nothing) as she knew that once you had defeated 'them', having tasted life again, tasted the power of the crown, you might consider turning on The One who Waits since you did all of the work with 'his' powers that he had to 'willingly' give you, as he can't just take them back at any time. But kalamar, so desperate and terrified, acted like a cornered animal, and a cornered animal with 'nothing' to lose and everything to gain would fight all the harder. He teleports around to use ranged attacks, he viciously and 'religiously' summons minions to attack you, he spams ranged attacks whenever possible, only striking at you in melee if he must, and generally makes the battle as difficult as he can, because again, he's 'desperate' to live, to survive. It's not about keeping him chained, it's about keeping himself from being sent to The One who Waits

Heket is a girl... Leshy says, "Yes, my sister." When Heket tells him to take care of the lamb.

In the new "relics of the old faith" update it was revealed that shamura also was the one who send aym and baal to narinder as they didn't want him to be alone

as far as I know, the only reason Leshy doesn't target your followers is because 1. he doesn't have a mechanic directly tied to him that he could inflict, as he is the bishop of chaos (and rebelling cult members is inflicted by Shamura) and 2. he is the first, meaning he would be fought earlier, meaning less followers, meaning that he needs to be more forgiving so the player can progress smoothly

Fun fact when I first saw Kalamar I thought his name was kalamari so I called him that until I got to his temple 🦧🦧💀

Leshy is Chaos not Conquest. It’s pretty subtle in the game itself although there are clues. The big giveaway though is that beating all the bishops gives you a trophy that is the opposite of what the bishop stands for. Leshy’s trophy is Order proving that he is the Bishop of Chaos. Your point about the other bishops being evil and Leshy isn’t is also a good point as Chaos is neither good nor evil. It simply is. Famine, Disease and War are more outwardly evil things that cause actual harm.

I think leshy leaves your cult alone because back before you killed him I think the bishops thought you were just another vessel and not one made it past leshy so after you kill leshy the bishops get serious

Fun fact: when shamura makes you fight your own followers you can escape lead them to the top left corner of the room and ROLL to the bottom right corner and use your escape abilty you will have just enough time to escape and not mrder your followers

8:44 They were also the one who gave Narinder Aym and Baal to keep him company.

what you missed: nah leshy's horseman is chaos cuz you said "chaos" heket the only female kallamar's name was like a seafood of calamares shamura the only they/them/nonbinary [do spoil alert] the one who waits chained up because hes greedy and want more power. But attempt failed and injured the bishops before he died to the heaven with two guards known as baal and aym

i always asked why when we killed the one who waits he become cute but when we killed the bishops they just dont

Bishop info Leshy:he/him earth worm??? Heket:she/her frog Kallamar:he/him squid Shamura:they/them spider Narinder:he/him kitty cat

Maybe shamura is based on arachne and athena? athena cursed arachne to be a spider and athena is a god of war and wisdom like shamura. So maybe that what shamura is based on. Idk just a theory

Leah’s is supposed to represent the supposed 5th horse men that’s only sparsely mentioned, the bishop of chaos, cause when you no hit him, the achievement you get is order

Wait Kallamar was supposed to be difficult? I wrecked the shit out of him first try. It made me really feel the divine power of the game. It also filled me with existential dread about my own inevitable demise. I thought he was supposed to be easy to make you feel strong. Edit: I feel the need to clarify that this was back at launch, when the game's combat consisted of "get dagger, spam x" and I had the golden fleece.

2:36 Which given the Sins of the Flesh and apparent “Sex Update” per their twitter, that might change.

Leshy is represented by see no evil and caos hecet is represented by say no evil and famine Kalamar is hear no evil and descocion smaora is think no evil the one who waits is do no evil and death

Man can’t believe I have these guys as cult followers now since the new update let me do that
