Tips & tricks

• You can get Cultists stuck on things such as Log Walls or Wood Rain Storages making them easier to kill. • Crossbow Cultists, although strong at long ranges, are extremely weak when rushed down due to their lack of melee capabilities. • Crossbow Cultists can be dangerous due to their ability to snipe from a distance while you’re occupied with a large horde, so targeting them early can make the fight much easier. • Crossbow Cultists will fire at the player's current location. Coupled with the Crossbows' slow projectile speed, a player can dodge a Crossbow Cultist's attacks by strafing (circling them, and dodging attacks).

Trivia

• Cultists worship The Deer, the main antagonist of the game. • A Melee and Crossbow Cultist repeatedly appear in the cutscenes after each update. • In one of the trailers for the "Something is Coming" Update, a Melee and Crossbow Cultist are shown encountering The Ram. • In the cutscene for the "Taming" Update, the two Cultists are about to be attacked by a Wolf, when a Camper shows up from a tree and jumps down to tame the Wolf with a Taming Flute, much to the Cultists' surprise.
