There is another piano recital in town tonight and this is but the artist’s preview of a forthcoming concert at a major venue. The audience is hardly a smattering of coats, hats and grey hair. and what is there that might possibly prepare the listener for the journey that pianist and listener embark upon? Certainly not the soufflé of Mozart’s K.332. It is as though the pianist puts on a pair of gloves imbued with the spirit of the composer, and these chords appear. The introduction seems to come from nowhere and does not connect with musical past, except perhaps the composer’s own past. So I imagine that I might only hear Op.110 to make that opening sequence of chords so ominously special. A recent experience of several hours driving to hear a single Beethoven symphony has remained close and vivid, and an experience that brought me close to tears. When I listen to Beethoven though I want to hear a work on its own, unencumbered round about with other musics. Can the cheese course be a transcendental experience I wondered? Bach to begin certainly, a substantial starter with one of the mid period keyboard toccatas and two ‘distant’ preludes and fugues, but then a keyboard suite by Rameau? Could Bach and Rameau be enough? Might the musical appetite cope with Mozart and Beethoven too? Were we about to sit down to a large meal, possibly in the wrong order. I had wondered if part one would be enough.

We drove because we were going to be late, and it was cold, and would be likely to be colder still when the concert was over. There was frost on the windscreen as we got into the car for the short drive to this city church. Is there anything we missed or didn’t unlock that isn’t on this list? Let us know in the comments below and check out our other Cult of the Lamb guides while you’re here.It was a cold night for a concert.

Here is a short and detailed list of all Rituals currently available in Cult of the Lamb: All of them are broken into pieces and looted automatically. Most Rituals use Bones, which can be obtained in Old Faith dungeons by cutting down the skeletons you see on the ground, or when you kill a big boss or clear a room. Don’t worry, the price isn’t your soul yet – not yet. This Cult of the Lamb guide details all the available Rituals in the game, including their requirements and materials, as well as their effects. Other than that, most of them are unlocked by unlocking new doctrines as you progress. Rituals can be found in the main story quests, for example by talking to Leshy in Anur, where he will ask for Mencicide Mushrooms in exchange for a Brainwashing Ritual. While some are more useful than others, each Ritual requires a certain amount of resources to perform and has either positive or negative effects. They are unlocked by researching and creating new doctrines. Rituals are an important part of the game loop in Cult of the Lamb.
