Tarot Cards in Cult of the Lamb offer special passive augments to gameplay that can prove to make situations much easier. While you’re not given more than two or three to pick from at a time, having them all available makes a big difference. Here’s how to unlock all tarot cards in Cult of the Lamb.
Unlock All Tarot Cards in Cult of the Lamb
For the most part, new Cult of the Lamb tarot cards will be unlocked by visiting Clauncek. When given the choice between two tarot cards, be sure to pick the new one. Once picked, the new tarot card will be unlocked for future use.
Clauncek’s locations aren’t random and are always indicated by the star mobile you can see above a given path. You can take a look at the book beside him to see how many cards have been unlocked.
While this is the quickest, most easily guaranteed way to work through unlocking tarot cards, it’s not the only one. Both enemy drops and chests have a chance to give tarot cards. Considering the randomness of this, however, it’s definitely not the most dependable method. Following both of these techniques to unlock tarot cards will eventually unlock all 36 cards.
