 Cosmic Cultist |
Aliases and Nicknames: Coscult, cultists |
Starting a cult
After the game starts, you will have some time to prepare and plan before one of the initial cultists gets Beckon the Monument ability by a vote.
The placement of the monument is one of the most important things to a cult, so be careful with where you use the ability
Some things to keep in mind when placing the monument:
Preferably in easily accessible place
Having a monument locked behind an access door can lead to a much slower cult progression and trouble if the cultist with access is caught
Crowded or public spaces are a bad idea
Getting caught, especially early might be a death sentence for the cult. Try to find a place where conversion won't be interrupted
Growing your power
By siphoning the entropy of the crew and converting new cultists you raise the progression of the monument. As soon as a certain thresholds are reached the monument moves to a new tier, allowing for stronger abilities, new glyphs and making the presence of the cult stronger
Second Tier
You recieve a message, after which you have two minutes until the monument reaches second tier. As soon as it does, the malign rifts appear around the station, converting objects they touch into cult alternatives. Absorbing a malign rift will Empower you
Third Tier
At third tier the cultists are revealed by a and the monument becomes visible to non-cultists. After a short time the cultists can start beckoning the unknown which is the cultist win condition. After the beckoning starts the cultists need to protect the monument until the unknow is summoned, with each conversion during that time lowering time needed until the summon happens
Empowered cultists
After absorbing a malign rift you become empowered. Being empowered allows you to get double the entropy from the Siphon Entropy, makes you immune to space and your cultist abilities become stronger. Unlocks the ability for you to start a Chantry Ritual on a cyborg and Malign Fragmentation on AI upload console
Glyphs and you
You can scribe glyphs at the monument and click or interact to activate them. Activating the glyphs deals asphyxation damage to all nearby cultists as a cost, so be careful not to crit your friends. There are six Glyphs in total, with two unlocking at each tier of the monument
Tier 1 Glyphs
Glyph of Knowledge 
"Knowledge. Instills the spark of indelible knowledge. Able to convert most to join our ranks."
Requires two cultists around to activate. Converts a non-mindshielded person into a cultist, healing them to full health in the process
Target needs to have a mind to be converted, so it cannot convert people that are currently shunted
Glyph of Projection 
"Projection. Allows us to ascend in a temporary astral form to spy on those around us."
Allows you to scout around the station like a ghost. Your projection is invisible to other people
Tier 2 Glyphs
Glyph of Blades 
"Blades. Transmutes and extrudes sharp objects into more lethal weaponry."
Converts sharp objects (knives, glass shards and etc) into cosmic cult weaponry. The weapon randomly chooses between:
| Icon | Item | Damage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Entropic Blade | 11 Slash
12 Cold 12 Asphyxiation 15 Structural |
The most basic cult weapon. No special effects |
|
Vacuous Lance | 11 Piercing
12 Cold 12 Asphyxiation 15 Structural |
Can be thrown for medium damage |
|
Astral Razor | 3 Piercing
3 Slash 6 Cold 6 Asphyxiation 15 Structural |
Works like the crusher weapons. Right click while wielded to send a projectile (10 Cold and 5 Asphyxiation) and mark an enemy. Attack the marked enemy to deal 15 Cold and 10 Asphyxiation additional damage |
Glyph of Warding 
"Warding. Transmutes pressure-resistant clothing into entropic garb."
Converts pressure resistant clothing (EVA, Emergency EVA suits, Hardsuits and etc) into cult armor
| Icon | Item | Protections | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Entropic Armor | 40% to everything
0% stun resistance |
10% slowdown. Has an inbuilt light and a helmet |
Tier 3 Glyphs
Glyph of Truth 
"Truth. Instills the pure, indelible truth. Able to convert absolutely anyone to join our ranks."
Same as the Glyph of Knowledge, but can convert mindshielded people now
Glyph of Cessation 
"Cessation. Transmutes a portable atmospherics scrubber into a Vacuous Spire for our use."
Converts portable scrubber into Vacuous Spire. The spire passively converts the atmosphere in the room into Entropy motes when wrenched
