Blood Cult: Difference between revisions

|duties = Killing everyone and creating a construct army

|guides = This is the guide

|Marks a designated player target that you select with your cursor for the cult to be marked as top-priority for 90 seconds. Successfully marking a person sends a message to the entire cult, giving the name and location of the target. Useful for calling your entire cult to attack a specific target.  

 

|Seize upon a fellow cultist or cult structure and send it through time and space to a nearby location on your screen. A very versatile ability with many potential applications. Teleport a cultist into the armory! Teleport cultists into inaccessible areas! Teleport cultists and structures away from harm! Teleport cultists behind a security raid to flank them! Limitless potential!  

 

*Hitting a cultist with it removes [[Chaplain|Holy Water]] from them.

*Hitting runes with it removes them.

 

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.'''

 

|A potent spell that will stun and mute victims upon contact. Effects become weaker as the cult grows in size. Very much similar to the Talisman of Stunning, and plays much the same role.

|A large spell that immediately disables all electronics in the area.

|A ranged yet stealthy spell that will break the mind of the victim with nightmarish hallucinations.

|Instantly converts a normal crewmember on top of it to the cult, healing them for 75% of their brute and burn damage, and spawning a ritual dagger. Mindshield-implanted crew cannot be converted, only sacrificed - <b>therefore it is recommended that you quickly finish off security victims before their radio or suit sensors can give you away!</b>"

 

(1) To manifest ghosts as semitransparent homunculi, which are effectively weak, humanoid cultists with no self preservation instinct. To sustain these homunculi, you must remain on the rune, and each homunculi you have summoned will deal damage over time. <u>This option is only available on the space station itself - the veil is not weak enough in space or Lavaland to give spirits a physical form!</u><br><br>

(2) To ascend as a dark spirit. This option costs <b>no health</b> to use and will give you virtually unlimited knowledge! You can use information given to you by ghosts in this form, commune with the cult with your booming voice, and even mark a target that will be "pinpointed" for the rest of the cult. You can even use this function after manifesting ghosts to help guide them in combat - manifested ghosts can also see regular ghosts and therefore can see your dark spirit as you lead them in battle!

|A harbinger of the end times. It scales depending on the crew's strength relative to the cult. Effect includes a massive EMP, unique hallucination for non-cultists, and if the cult is doing poorly, certain events. The rune can only occur in the Nar-Sie ritual sites and will prevent Nar-Sie from being summoned there in the future. Similarly to the Ritual of Dimensional Rending, the Apocalypse rune can only be scribed in one of the 3 ritual areas. <u>After the Apocalypse rune has been scribed, that particular ritual area can no longer be used to summon Nar-Sie.</u><br>  

 

*If 81 - 100: Nar'sian Portal Storm

|A bloodstained altar dedicated to Nar-Sie. By using it, you are able to create an Eldritch Whetstone, to sharpen your weapon, a Construct Shell, or a Flask of Unholy Water which heals cultists and greatly reduces stuns, or can be thrown to poison non-cultists. After using the altar, it needs some time to recharge.

|A floating crystal that slowly heals those faithful to Nar'Sie. Also slowly turns the surrounding floor into engraved floor. Engraved floors allow for significantly faster rune scribing and will resist changes in atmosphere (i.e. loss of air or release of a harmful gas).

|A desk covered in arcane manuscripts and tomes in unknown languages. Looking at the text makes your skin crawl. By using it, you are able to create a Zealot's Blindfold, which lets you see in the dark, gives you a medical hud, and is flash proof, a Veil Shifter, a 4 use teleporter that sends you forward a medium distance and a Void Torch which lets you teleport objects to other cultists, or a Shuttle Curse, which when used, delays the escape shuttle for 2 minutes. You can only use a certain amount of shuttle curses each round. After using the archives, it needs some time to recharge.

|Only opens for cultists. Useful securing your base, but a dead giveaway that a cult is onboard. Non-cultists who attempt to use these airlocks are stunned and thrown back.

*Spirit Sight is an incredibly powerful exploration tool, and ghosts can give you precious hints.

*The chaplain's weapon makes them immune to most of your magic. Don't attempt to use stun spells on them while they have their weapon, or you will get discovered and likely killed.

*Cultists often find a use for medibots. Having a single bot with a low threshold, backed up by brutepacks or pylons, can keep your cult in fighting shape.

*Get some plasteel either from mining, stealing it from robotics, engineering or EVA storage, or deconstructing reinforced walls/tables if you are desperate.

*The EMP spell and Apocalypse Rune are both incredibly useful. They can give you access almost anywhere, just don't forget your crowbar!

*Manifest Spirit is also useful for getting those missing cultists you need for the Nar'Sie rune.

*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.

*Drawing a rune on a cult floor is 50% faster than on a normal floor (except the Nar-Sie rune). Cult floors also resist changes in atmosphere like hull breaches or plasma floods.
