00:00A FIELD GUIDE TO WORSHIP
00:08CHAPTER 1 RITUALS AND FOLLOWERS
00:11Ah, you're finally awake!
00:18Welcome to the great cult of Anand's Guide.
00:20You're alone here, currently, but this cult will grow to become quite big and powerful,
00:24thanks to your skilled help, hopefully.
00:27Being the leader of a cult comes with many responsibilities.
00:30You will have to manage your followers, order them around, and manage the rest of your cultist
00:34activities in order to ultimately end the world.
00:38It's a lot, but great responsibility means having access to even greater power.
00:43You'll get to invoke the Great One's power through the rituals you'll cast, with your
00:46own blood, or the blood of your minions.
00:49By stabbing yourself, you'll be able to spill blood to create powerful rituals.
00:53But pay close attention to your health bar, it empties itself quite rapidly.
00:57You can always replenish your health by taking the blood you spilled back, or by drinking
01:02from the fountains scattered around the world.
01:05The first and most important ritual every cultist has in their arsenal is the Conversion
01:09Ritual.
01:10This will turn a feeble-minded to your cause.
01:14Every good villain needs mindless minions, after all.
01:17Now go forth, make the world tremble before Anand's Guide!
01:242. Exploration and Combat
01:30With your freshly recruited cult members, you'll be able to spread your influence over
01:33the world by accomplishing many mischievous activities.
01:37By slaying enemies, completing puzzles, or even making offerings to your god.
01:42Every little deed you accomplish in this world, no matter how evil it is, will award you devotion.
01:47Growing your cult to massive size is important.
01:50The more followers you have, the more powerful your cult will be in the face of danger.
01:55And speaking of danger, here comes trouble.
01:58Command your army of followers to attack the enemy.
02:01This will diverge their attention from you, and will give you plenty of time to invoke
02:05your dark and eldritch powers.
02:07Turn the tide in your favor by casting offensive rituals.
02:10You will learn to cast even more powerful ones as you explore the world and gain more
02:15power.
02:17Pushing the non-believers is one of the keys to obtain devotion and to please Anand's Guide.
02:21Like any reputable cultist should, you can offer their corpses as a tribute to your god.
02:27The more bodies you burn, the better the rewards you will receive from your deity.
02:32Let's go back to the altar and see what we can unlock now.
02:36Chapter 3. Returning to the Base
02:40Your base will always be a safe haven for you and your cult.
02:43Make sure to come back often to replenish your health, make offerings, and upgrade your
02:47arsenal.
02:48The colored crystal your followers are holding is called a Catalyst.
02:52It hosts a small insect-like creature that will transform, under the right conditions,
02:57into a building that will grant power to your cult.
03:01Each color is tied to a specific category of upgrades.
03:04Purple for cultists, gray for followers, and red for new rituals.
03:12If you find any precious items during your adventures, try to offer them to your god
03:16at the altar.
03:17This will please them greatly, and they'll reward you with many devotion points.
03:22Hmm, I wonder what happens when the bar is full.
03:27Chapter 4. Test of Faith
03:42You've been challenged to a test of faith.
03:50This is a special trial offered by your god.
03:53Complete it and you will be one step closer to your ultimate goal, the end of the world.
03:58Praying at the altar will magically teleport you to the test's area.
04:02Amass a good amount of followers and get ready.
04:04I heard that the ones guarding that place are quite dynamic too.
04:23And this is everything you need to know in order to become a fully-fledged cultist.
04:28I have nothing else to teach you.
04:30Good luck.
04:32Worship is an upcoming multiplayer cultist game inspired by Pikmin.
