Crusade Resonant

A loadout shrine waits in the crusade door area, beside the red purgatory circle. Pick one of four Crimson Desert weapons and one CONTROL Resonant power there, and the first room of every crusade offers them.

What's in it

• 4 Crimson Desert weapons take the place of the Lamb's plain Sword, Axe, Dagger and Hammer:

  • Old Kliff One-Hand Sword
  • Legendary Ancient Guardian Two-Hand Axe
  • Legendary Kings One-Hand Dagger
  • Legendary Crimson Scorpion Two-Hand Hammer

  Their names come from Crimson Desert's item table. Its attack and crit stats set their damage, and every hit plays a real Crimson Desert swing sound.

• 2 CONTROL Resonant powers:

  • Barrage, in the triple-shot curse slot
  • Push, in the blast curse slot

  Each has CONTROL Resonant's own name, description and interface icon, plus its layered cast sounds.

• Battle music: crusade fights alternate between Crimson Desert's battle theme and CONTROL Resonant's combat music. The Lamb's own music fades back in afterwards.

• Solo, or couch co-op on one PC: the Goat picks at the same shrine and gets their own podium. There is no online multiplayer, because Cult of the Lamb has none.

What you need

Cult of the Lamb, plus Crimson Desert Enhanced and CONTROL Resonant installed through Steam. Everything from the two guest games is read from your own copies each time the game starts; nothing from either is in the download. If one is missing, the shrine says so and that half stays empty.

Honest notes

• Weapons keep the Lamb's own look in hand.
• Crimson Desert's polished display text is encrypted and is never decrypted. Weapon names come from its internal item keys, and descriptions are built from its real stats.
• Tested in game with one player. The co-op Goat's pick hasn't been tried with two players yet.
• Built with AI (Claude), working from design sheets.
