Is it going to be the length of a traditional roguelike, or is it a classic 100+ hour experience like some management sims? It's certainly not the latter, but this guide contains more specific information on playtimes, calculated using the data provided by HowLongToBeat. And both story-focused players and completionists have been considered.

Updated April 27, 2023 By Ben Jessey: Cult Of The Lambs recently received an update that not only improved the overall experience of the game but added to it. The addition is called Relics Of The Old Faith.

It includes plenty of new content. So much so that we felt it necessary to return to our guide about how long the game takes to beat to include it. After all, it adds to the overall length of the game, so it's important to know that before you start your experience.

How Long Does It Take To Complete?

Playing through all of the main content in the game takes around 14 hours. However, you will only beat it within that time if you're solely focused on completing the things required to reach the credits.

This can be difficult as there are plenty of optional content that can distract you while playing. For instance, you may get caught up managing your base and followers or completing some optional quests. Therefore, your playthrough is more likely to last 17 or so hours.

How Long Does It Take To 100 Percent?

Achieving 100 percent completion in Cult Of The Lamb doesn't take an incredible amount of time. After all, there isn't an abundance of time-consuming side stuff you have to do to complete the game.

If you're going for the full completion, you must do things like complete side quests, unlock everything, gather followers, beat all the bosses, and earn all the remaining achievements or trophies. On the surface, that sounds like a lot. Yet, this sort of completionist run takes around 21 hours, which is pretty reasonable.

How Many Regions Are In The Game?

  • Darkwood
  • Anura
  • Anchordeep
  • Silk Cradle
  • The Gateway
