Lovecraft Country - Cultist Simulator Tips & Tricks Episode 7: The Mothman Strategy 

Thank you very much for this tactic. I've tried to combine Level 10 Winter and Level 10 Heart influences before, but the difficulty was generating the Heart influence. Have you tried using the White Door to get a Level 6 Heart influence at the orchard instead?

@@FantasticWorlds Yup. Kind of depends on how many funds you have. If you are low on cash, the white door is the way to go. Its something like 1 in 4 to get pulsing airs in the orchard. So to get two takes 8ish cycles. If you have the funds exploring the library with 4 gold guarantees the 10 heart in 4 (ish) cycles. Cycle 1: Explore library 1 gold -> trembling Cycle 2: Explore library 1 gold -> trembling Solu holds cycle 1 trembling Cycle 3: Explore library 1 gold -> trembling Merge cycle 1 and 2 trembling -> pulsing Solu holds pulsing Cycle 4: Explore library 1 gold -> trembling Solu holds pulsing 30 sec Solu holds cycle 3 trem 30 sec Cycle 4+: merge cycle 4 and cycle 3 trembling while solu holds pulsing. Merge two pulsing to get pounding.

Thank you for the tip. I'll give it a try on the upcoming Lantern run.

That sounds very lovecraftian as well, that the spookystuff is hidden in normalcy, such as the painting that looks like a portrait or has taken the inspiration of what another person describes when they think 'apple' or some such.

Chaos has many applications.

@@FantasticWorlds Indeed! I have never been this far! It's very exciting. I became a member of the board at G&G, then lost that, hahah. But I'm pretty rich. I still make some stupid mistakes, tho. I lost of of the three moth disciples because I forgot to cure her wounds (I'll never forgive myself for that). On the other hand, I recovered health that turned into decrepitude with a ritual! That was awesome. I also went to trial (actually a pawn) and I was worried af. But they didn't charge him. That was close. Now I'm doing all the expeditions and then taking care of the reputation slowly, etc. It will take a while. I am considering using some subversions of other types of lore to bring my moth lore to a high level, so I can bring the moth members to their full glory.

That's the thing about this game. There is so much RNG and so many ways to play the game that no run is exactly alike.

@@FantasticWorlds Unfortunately I don't know why but my save was corrupted beyond recovery. I accessed the save folder and tried to use the backups but they were ALL corrupted. I lost absolutely everything. I'm sad now.... hahahh This was the first time I'd gone that far. But oh well, live and learn right? Now at least I know things and can avoid some mistakes in my next run.

@@Shishnut Did you use a on-line platform like Steam with cloud backup? Also, are you using any mods?

You're welcome. Hope it helps.

The RNG gods give, the RNG gods take away. On a serious note, once I get a Tentative Evidence I will usually let it run out before taking any action that can generate any more Notoriety. An unusual way to do that is to spam Mystique in various ways. One the Hunter starts taking Mystique when there is no Notoriety available, they will keep doing in a continuous cycle as long as there is more Mystique available. Meanwhile, the Evidence keeps timing out and the Hunter can't pick it up.

@@FantasticWorlds Yes, I was able to employ exactly this in the very next run to get my first win since picking up the game five years ago. Again, thank you for the videos.

@@sonjaquan5775 You are most welcome.

​@@sonjaquan5775 Moth plus Heart keeps you from jail. ;) A minute to talk about the cult and half a minute to get rid of "Naughty" with a MAGNET, which works like suspission - picks reputation cards at random, because of that and a little bit experimentation with timing it's been a while since I've seen a Notoriety card on the table. :P It can also help burn Mystique if you want to have a clean table and 100% chance of getting Notoriety(ies) sucked in by your Heart disciple or exalted (I found disciples good enough for the job so it is universal). AND if something goes wrong you have a powerful Moth as an ace in a sleeve. If you pay attention to seasons and for example talking is occupied, you can time painting and hide up to four reputation cards for 55 seconds and like I said with timing it right the hunter looks for reputation for only 30 seconds in the first cycle and if he finds nothign he moves on to evidence, which if you do things right you should have none. Before the season comes back repotation cards usually are gone with some Mystique from painting left to burn or wait out. You can use detectives to speed up the process of cleaning those out, which actually makes them useful ..your pawns, your own "cleaners" keeping your table nice and cozy for you so that you can move on to new evul things with a clean table and a heart/moth disciples waiting in the shadows to clean nasty things for you.. so it's a middle game strategy rather, but I assure it's very powerful ..and a very clean one at that. :P

That is an interesting strategy.

The type of cult doesn't have any meaning for our Ascension. The Desire card is the trigger for winning a Aspirant game and that is one coded for Lantern, Forge, or Grail. We could have any type of cult - or no cult at all - and so long as we fulfill the requirements for winning, we win.

@@FantasticWorlds im playing for 2 weeks with moth and still dont know how to win with that bcs i only know how to win with that acension card now i have almost all card in the game but still dont know what to do with it😭 can u please give me tips how to win with moth?

@@FantasticWorlds and i search how to win with moth and i saw your video and at the end i still dont know how to win i only win with lantern and forge (moth is my third game until now)

A Moth Desire win is only available for the Dancer DLC. The base game only allows you to win with Lantern, Grail, or Forge.

I just find a Moth cult offers more possibilities than others regardless of what Aspect I am actually using for Ascension.

Lorewise Knock represents the Void (or Nothing) all Aspects arise and return to. Which is why it trumps all other aspects. I am hoping that the aspects will be expanded upon in Book of Hours so get a better understanding of them.

If you did it, and it worked, you did it right.

@@FantasticWorlds It's what we call succesful failure I think XD
