Cult of the Lamb: How to Play Knucklebones with a Friend

As an avid gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Cult of the Lamb has been one of the most engaging and captivating games I’ve played in recent times. The addition of the Knucklebones Arena through the Unholy Alliance DLC is a brilliant touch, adding a fun, competitive element to an already immersive game.


In the game known as Cult of the Lamb, players have the option to stop by the Lonely Shack and engage in a friendly game of Knuckbones with different opponents. For those who are feeling particularly daring, there’s an opportunity to wager some coins and potentially win more. As the level of difficulty increases, so does the amount of coins that can be bet.

In the additional content for The Unholy Alliance, players gain the ability to construct a Knucklebones Arena within their Cult’s sanctum. However, it won’t automatically appear upon receiving Divine Inspiration; certain prerequisites need to be met first. This tutorial will walk you through the steps to build the Knucklebones Arena in ‘Cult of the Lamb’, enabling you to test your followers and even compete with a friend via local co-op, if you wish.

How to Unlock the Knucklebones Arena

Players can’t construct the Knucklebones Arena within their cult’s headquarters until they’ve vanquished every opponent in Knucklebones. Along their gaming journey, they will encounter numerous Knucklebones masters and eventually have the chance to play against them at Ratau’s residence, the Lonely Shack.

Here is who players must beat ot unlock the Knucklebones Arena building in Cult of the Lamb:

  • Ratau
  • Flinky
  • Klunko and Bop
  • Shrumy

Contestants will encounter distinct environmental zones (biomes) where their opponents are located. Specifically, Shrumy, the final adversary, starts out in the Silk Cradle region. To access the Knucklebones Arena, players need to venture into and conquer this area first.

After players have triumphed over the Knucklebone Masters at the Secluded Hut, they can head back to their cult’s base where they can erect the Knucklebone Battlefield. You can locate this structure in the Faith menu under General items. To construct the Knucklebone Arena in Cult of the Lamb, players will require 64 Coins, 4 pieces of Wooden Planks, and 4 Stone Blocks.

How the Knucklebones Arena Works

Once players have built the Knucklebones Arena, they may invite their nearby teammates or devout followers for a friendly match instead.

As a cultist’s rank advances, they become harder to defeat. But, if you manage to overcome them, their devotion to you will grow substantially. In the HQ’s Knucklebones Arena, no real coins can be wagered. Instead, this mini-game is simply a means to boost follower loyalty in Cult of the Lamb. Just remember, you can only issue a challenge to a follower for a game once each day.
