#its not to win but just to be a pest. best rogue goal tbh

Just because it's been boiling my brain, the fandom agrees Ratau is the reason there's so many traps and ambushes in cult of the lamb, right? Because he was a stealth main who vanishes into underground hiding spots/tunnels, taking down units one by one, and sneaking into temples, right?

Because that giant screaming bell thing seems like it'd be a pain for rogues: since it only goes off when enemies are alerted/an enemy dies, then follows the player around till all enemies in that area are defeated. Total stealth killer. They made it especially for him.

Thus the best way to defeat Ratau was to have traps, stakeouts, and ambushes. Instead of general patrols, checkpoints, and unit check-ins since a rogue would just sneak past those. Because unless those doors have a "fixed*" entry point, it's pretty weird to have your whole place covered in traps just in case a crown bearer comes through.

#cult of the lamb #add it to the list #cotl ratau #and kallamar hated him the most obviously. his whole place is set up with landmines and stuff that blows up upon contact #it would be so funny to make a prequel sorta dlc bc ultimately your only goal is to piss off the bishops #its not to win but just to be a pest. best rogue goal tbh #they shot themselves in the foot bc armoured enemy hordes would be much harder for the lamb to deal with
