Cult of the Lamb DLC: Every Steam Achievement

To earn every Steam achievement in Cult of the Lamb, you need to complete the base game’s 42 achievements and then the 12 achievements added by the free “Relics of the Old Faith” update. This guide lists every achievement, how to unlock it, and notes on missable ones. The game has no paid DLC that adds achievements as of this writing, so the free update is the only extra content you need to worry about for 100% completion.

How to Get the Missable Achievements

Most achievements are straightforward, but a few can be missed if you’re not careful. The most commonly missed ones are No Hit and Speed Demon because they require specific playstyles. For No Hit, you can use the Glass Cannon fleece (which increases damage but makes you take more damage) and play cautiously, or use the Berserker fleece for a damage boost. For Speed Demon, focus on completing a crusade quickly, ignoring side rooms and optional loot. The Completionist achievements require you to get all others, so they are not missable by themselves, but any missed achievement will block them.

Cheats and Workarounds

There is no official console command or mod that unlocks achievements, but you can use Steam’s built-in achievement manager (via third-party tools like Steam Achievement Manager) to unlock them manually. This is generally considered cheating and may flag your profile, but it’s an option if you’re stuck on a particularly difficult achievement. For the No Hit achievement, you can also use the Golden Fleece (which gives you a shield after taking damage) to survive a hit, but the achievement requires you to take zero damage, so the shield won’t help. A better strategy is to use the Demon’s Head relic or the Blunderbuss weapon for long-range attacks, and to memorize enemy patterns.

Common Problems and Solutions

If an achievement doesn’t unlock, first check that you’re playing the latest version of the game. Some achievements (especially the post-game ones) require the update to be installed. If you’re on a new save, you may need to complete the main story again to access the post-game content. Another common issue is that the No Hit achievement sometimes fails to trigger if you take damage from environmental hazards (like spikes) even if you don’t lose health. Make sure you avoid all damage sources, not just enemy attacks. If you’re still stuck, try verifying your game files on Steam.

Comparing to Other Platforms

The achievement list is identical on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch, but the names may differ slightly on console (e.g., “trophies” on PlayStation). The total number is 54 (42 base + 12 update) on all platforms. On Steam, you get the usual Steam features like global achievement stats and trading cards, but the requirements are the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy any DLC to get all achievements?

No. As of this writing, all DLC for Cult of the Lamb is cosmetic (like the Cultist Pack) and adds no achievements. The only extra achievements come from the free “Relics of the Old Faith” update.

Can I get all achievements in one playthrough?

Yes, but you need to be careful about missable ones. The No Hit and Speed Demon achievements can be done in any run, but it’s easier to do them on a fresh save with low difficulty. The post-game achievements require you to finish the main story first, so you’ll need to continue your save after the credits.

What is the hardest achievement?

Most players find No Hit (base game) and Unstoppable (post-game) the hardest, as they require perfect play. The Relic Master achievement can also be time-consuming because you need to collect all 60 relics, some of which are rare drops.

Are there any glitched achievements?

Some players have reported that No Hit doesn’t unlock if you take damage from a trap or environmental hazard, even if you don’t lose health. The game’s damage detection can be finicky, so it’s best to avoid all hazards entirely. If an achievement doesn’t unlock, restarting the game or verifying files usually fixes it.

Can I unlock achievements with mods?

Mods do not disable achievements in Cult of the Lamb, so you can use mods to make the game easier (e.g., infinite health) and still earn achievements. However, using mods may cause issues with the game’s save file, so back up your save before installing any.

How long does it take to 100% the game?

On average, it takes about 40-60 hours to get all achievements, depending on your skill level. The post-game content adds roughly 10-15 hours, and the relic collection can be grindy.
