Blood Cult: Difference between revisions

The general path of action of the cult and those in it:

<span style="color:red;">'''REMINDER:'''</span> One cultist is required to sacrifice a dead body, three for a live one, standing adjacent to the rune.

Here is a quick reference guide on what you should be doing as the Cult Master:

As the Cult Master, you have access to a handful of powerful and versatile occult powers to assist you and the rest of the cult. These powers can be accessed from the HUD on the top left. The powers are as follows:

After using this ability, it goes on a 15-second cooldown.

Your dagger is your most important tool and has several functions:

If you're in a position that would usually wander the halls, try to seek out your fellow cultists in person. If not, check in with your brothers using your Commune verb, but do this in private, to prevent people from hearing your whispers.  A lot of jobs have access to isolated areas of the station that are great for this, and there's also space. Remember, '''if you get caught, you endanger the entire cult.'''

Blood spells can be created at any time via an action button that appears below your character. <b>However</b>, blood spells created without an empowering rune will take longer, cause significant blood loss, and will cap your spell count at two (Empowering Runes allow up to 5 spells). Blood spells are limited-use tools that disappear after they're spent, and they're your bread and butter when fighting the crew. Make sure to try and have a stun spell and a teleport spell with you, to escape risky situations.

The Ritual Dagger allows you to scribe any of these runes, using Scribe Rune. Simply pick the rune you want, and wait until completion. Scribing a rune deals minor damage, since you need to cut your wrists to get the necessary blood.

|Allows cultists to prepare greater amounts of blood magic at far less of a cost. While standing on an empowering rune, the spell count is capped at 5 instead of 2. Additionally, preparing blood magic takes far less time, and you don't lose as much blood while doing it.

By using a construction talisman on platsteel, you are able to get runed metal. With it, you can build several structures, with unique powers. You can unanchor cult buildings by hitting them with your tome. Using "Conceal Runes" near these structures will make them turn invisible, and make runed doors look like regular airlocks.

Robust cultists will likely want to enlist the services of a few constructs. To create a construct, a cultist requires:  

When the filled soul stone shard is used on an empty shell, the cultist will be allowed to choose the desired construct to create. Keep in mind these guys are pretty much a dead giveaway that there is cult activity on the station, so try to be covert about it in the beginning.  

Even with access to a large number of different runes and talismans, there are still several threats to the cult on the station.

The followers of Ratvar want nothing more than do summon their machine god, so it can take revenge on our beloved Nar-Sie. Due to their connection to Ratvar, they or their constructs cannot be converted, but they also can´t convert followers of Nar-Sie. As such, Ratvarian magic will be more effective against Nar-Sian cultists. The opposite is also true; much of Nar-Sie's magic is more effective against Ratvar's servants.

Even the best-prepared cultists will have trouble to defend themselves against the united power of security. Especially if the Chaplain Helps them. The Chaplain is able to turn normal water into Holy Water, which will turn cultist back into normal people if it stays long enough in their system. The Chaplain is also immune to cult magic and his bible is able to make hidden runes visible.

*A [[construct]] can quickly take down an [[AI]]. The best one to do the job is the Wraith, it can jaunt into the core and take down the AI down before the crew can respond.

*If the Harvesters bring enough people to Nar-Sie you may or may not get a special ending.

*You may be tempted to try converting the Free Golems down in mining but be warned, Adamantine Golems are '''anti-magic''' and your spells will not work on them, similarly, Silver and Cloth Golems are Holy and will also be immune to your conversion.
