How to Start the DLC

How to Start Woolhaven DLC

You can start the Woolhaven DLC by interacting with the Yngya Statue in the base camp. The statue will request five different items, specifically Menticide Mushrooms, Crystal Shards, Spider Silk, and Sin. Once you've gathered them, offer them to Yngya to gain access to Woolhaven.

How to Start the Woolhaven DLC

Ewefall Base

# Step-by-Step Guide
1 Woolhaven Area Access
After completing all of the offerings to Yngya and viewing the title card for Woolhaven, you'll spawn back at the base. A new path eastward will open up. Follow this path to enter Woolhaven.
2 Go Up the Mountain to Yngya
A short cutscene will play, then the path to Ewefall will open. Go through this path to start a run, aim to reach the peak of Ewefall.
3 First Lost Souls
Upon arriving at the peak, an animated cutscene will play where the Lamb awakens Yngya and causes winter to fall. After the cutscene, approach the Lost Souls and call them home.
4 Lost Souls
Return to the Cult where you will find the Lost Souls waiting there. Guide them east to Woolhaven and return the Lost Souls to Yngya's Shrine.
5 Survive Winter
Yngya will be resurrected, and she will ask for your help to bring home more Lost Souls in exchange of knowledge. She will also ask that you collect 5 Rotburn from the mountain.

When you awaken Yngya, winter begins, and a brief cutscene shows your cult enjoying the season.
▶︎ How to Survive Winter
6 Rotburn Room
Go for a run in Ewefall, and you'll eventually find Rotburn as you progress. They appear like reddish stones, but are actually fleshy growths. Destroy them to gather the Rotburn needed for Yngya's request.

Rotburn can be found in its own room. Gofernon will appear to tell you about it when you enter.
7 Effigies Puzzle Ewefall
At the end of you run in Ewefall, you will find the Wool of the Rancher in one of the boss rooms. You can reach it by placing the crowns on the effigies of the Bishops, matching their colors.

The Wool of the Rancher is what remains of one of Yngya's Disciples. You can bury it back in Woolhaven to summon their soul as the first step in rebuilding the ranch.
8 Bury the Wool of the Rancher
Bury the Wool of Baraq the Rancher to ease his soul into returning to Woolhaven. Doing so will open up the path for you to rebuild his ranch. This is vital to generate a food source since winter freezes farmland, preventing crops from growing.
9 Rotburn Furnace
Once you return to Woolhaven, present the Rotburn to Yngya. She will then ask that you construct the Rotburn Furnace. This is required to keep your Followers from freezing, preventing them from their work and worship.
10 Rotburn Furnace
Construct the Rotburn Furnace at your Cult. Remember to fuel it with Rotburn to keep your Followers warm for the rest of winter.

Ewefall Walkthrough, Bosses, and Resources

Ewefall Cliffs

# Step-by-Step Guide
* Cook Warming Meals
Before proceeding further, make sure to cook for your followers first. The area ahead may cause you to lose a lot of resources, so it's better to use them now than lose them as you continue.
1 Marchosias Encounter
Return to Yngya, and she will ask you to find more of her Disciples and bring them home to Woolhaven. Go for another run in search of them at Ewefall Cliffs until you meet Heathen Marchosias of the Free Pack.
2 Five Days is the Better Choice
Marchosias will test what kind of God you are and will make you choose between keeping enough food for 5 days or enough food for 10 days but losing half a heart. Whichever you choose, Marchosias will comment on your decision before leaving. This also marks the first of your many encounters.
▶︎ All Marchosias Choices
* In between the two choices, the best option is the food for 5 days. You can use rituals to avoid hunger, and winter should be over after 5 days at the latest.
3 Get Charged Shards From Ewefall
To rebuild the ranch, you'll need to find Charged Shards from destroying electric machinery in Ewefall. You'll need to bring at least two to Baraq.
4 Abas Boss
As you progress, one of Marchosias' Followers will challenge you with the miniboss Abas in Ewefall Cliffs. Once defeated, he reverts to a follower that you can send back to your cult.
5 Souls after Defeating Abas
When you complete your run, you'll find more lost souls to bring home. Return to your cult and escort these new souls to Woolhaven.

The Rot Peak

# Step-by-Step Guide
1 The Rot Unlocked
Upon delivering the souls back to Woolhaven, Yngya will hear of your encounters with Abas. She tells you of a great power that can be found deep in the mountain that you can claim to use against Marchosias. This unlocks the path to The Rot, the entrance to the heart of the mountain.
2 The Rot Complete
Do a run in The Rot, starting at The Rot Peak. Progress through rooms and descend into the caves. You will likely meet a moth-like creature, Stelle, during these runs.
3 Get Cursed Yewbark From the Rot
Baraq will ask for Cursed Yewbark. These can be collected from The Rot at certain decaying trees. Collect at least two and deliver them to Baraq.
4 Poyel Rotten Follower
At the deepest point of your run, you'll face Poyel, the second miniboss of the Woolhaven DLC. Defeat him to recruit him as a follower after.
▶︎ How to Get Rotten Followers
5 Return Lost Souls to Yngya
When you complete your run, you'll find more lost souls to bring home. Return to your cult and escort these new souls to Woolhaven. This should be enough to trigger Winter I, and also lets you unlock the Bonfire Ritual II. This ritual will keep your Cult Warm for a full day.

The Rot Walkthrough, Bosses, and Resources

Teach a Lamb to Ranch

# Step-by-Step Guide
1 Pure Yewbark
Purify the Cursed Yewbark at a refinery. If you don't have one yet in your cult, build one and assign a follower to work on the purification. You only need one to progress.
2 Free Yakish
Give the Pure Yewbark to Baraq to unlock the ranch. You also get a free Yakish from this, so make sure to get it before you proceed to build your own ranch.
3 Build the Ranch
Head back to your cult and build your ranch. Wait for the construction to finish.
4 Build Fence Posts
Build posts around the ranch. Keep placing posts until they're all connected with a black rope. Otherwise, you won't be able to put any animals in it.
5 Add Animals
Place the Yakish afterward, feed it any vegetable, and wait a day for it to grow.
6 Woolhaven Quest Board
Once it matures, shear it to harvest wool, then head back to Baraq and use the wool to purchase the next animal. This also unlocks Baraq's Quest Board, the first of the Woolhaven merchants!

Ewefall Heights

# Step-by-Step Guide
*
Before proceeding further, make sure to fill your Rotburn furnaces and cook warming meals for your cult. This should keep your followers from becoming frozen while you're away. If it isn't winter, you can still cook meals so your followers don't get hungry.
1
Head to Woolhaven and go up the stairs. You have the option to continue to The Rot Caverns or head back out to Ewefall and go through Ewefall Heights.

If you want to unlock more buildings in Woolhaven already, it's recommended to go to Ewefall Heights first. This part of the dungeon can be accessed by selecting the Wool icon as a starting point.
▶︎ The Rot Caverns
2
As you explore Ewefall Heights, you'll have another encounter with Marchosias. This time, he'll confiscate either all your food or Rotburn. You can give up all your Rotburn here, especially if you have your furnace full. This should suffice for the rest of the winter.
▶︎ All Marchosias Choices
3
At the peak, complete the puzzle here, which simply requires you to interact with the effigies in a certain order: lower left, then upper right, then upper left, and end in lower right.
4
Place the glowing piece in the effigy to finish the puzzle. You'll get both the Wool of the Stargazer and the Wool of the Scholar afterward, unlocking two more facilities in Woolhaven.
5
Bury the Wool of the Stargazer to unlock Koka. Head upper west afterward to visit her tarot shop.
6
Rebuild her tarot shop using Pure Yewbark. You can get Cursed Yewbark in The Rot, which you can purify in your refinery to obtain Pure Yewbark. For Koka's shop, you need at least three.

Once you repair her shop, you can access her quest board. Complete her quests, and you should be able to earn more tarot cards to use.
▶︎ The Rot Resources
7
Bury the Wool of the Scholar next to unlock Aniel. He owns a museum east of Woolhaven. Head there to fix his facility as well.
8
Use two Purified Yewbark to repair Aniel's museum. Here, you can play Flockade, which earns you Flockade pieces. Completing all of these earns you the The Complete Collection achievement.
▶︎ All Woolhaven Achievements

Unlocking Winter II

# Step-by-Step Guide
1
Go through the hole to The Rot, and enter The Rot Caverns. You can access this area by choosing the middle skull icon as a starting point.
2
Continue exploring, and you'll have your first encounter with the Executioner. She'll leave the room, and enemies will attack you as she goes.
3
Head further up and defeat Asbeel. Asbeel will mostly bury itself underground before attacking, usually to your last location, so only attack when it emerges from the ground.

Like most Woolhaven bosses, you can make Asbeel your follower after the combat.
▶︎ How to Get Rotten Followers
4
Gather the lost souls afterward and return to Woolhaven. Return them to Yngya to proceed to Winter II.
*
Only return the souls when you're ready, since Winter II is much more difficult. Blizzards will be introduced, which you can only dispel if you have Rotburn Furnace II.
▶︎ How to Survive Winter

Wool of the Charred and Wool of the Shrewd

# Step-by-Step Guide
1
Head to the second area of The Rot Caverns. Pick the wool icon on the left as a starting point.
*
Along the way, you may encounter Thistle. This NPC can give you animals for your ranch, and later on, you can meet him again by picking animal tiles. Keep this in mind during your run if you're also aiming to gather more animals.
▶︎ How to Unlock Ranch Animals
2
Continue onward and you'll meet the Executioner again. Like in your first encounter before Winter II, she'll leave again for other enemies to attack you.
▶︎ List of All Bosses
3
Complete the puzzle quest, which requires a simple timing challenge, guiding the grieving statue toward the endpoint. You can toggle the obstacles by interacting with the effigy in the middle.
4
Take the Wool of the Charred and the Wool of the Shrewd from the altar in the middle.
5
Bury the Wool of the Shrewd to unlock Chazaq. Follow him to his shop afterward, then repair his building to unlock his decoration blueprints shop. This requires 6 Pure Yewbark.
6
Bury the Wool of the Charred to unlock Rami. Fix his building for 5 Pure Yewbark to unlock the forge.
