So, you’ve been enjoying Cult of the Lamb and just picked up the Woolhaven DLC? Excellent choice! This expansion brings six brand-new achievements that’ll have you sailing to new islands, reviving familiar faces, and completing questlines you never knew you needed.
Here’s the thing though—these achievements aren’t exactly straightforward. You’ll need to know where to find certain characters, which quests to prioritize, and how everything connects together. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with this complete walkthrough.
Let’s dive into every single achievement and get you that sweet 100% completion rate!
Understanding the Woolhaven DLC Achievement Structure
Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, it’s important to understand how these achievements work together. Think of them as interconnected pieces of a larger puzzle.
Five achievements revolve around completing specific character questlines, while the sixth—Woolhaven Reborn—is your grand finale that unlocks automatically once you’ve finished everything else. This means you’ll need to complete all character quests to truly finish the DLC.
Additionally, some questlines unlock access to others, so there’s a natural progression you’ll want to follow. Let’s start with the easiest one to kick things off.
Eat the Rich: Completing Helob’s Quests
First up on our list is everyone’s favorite spider merchant, Helob. This achievement is relatively straightforward, but you’ll need to do some sailing.
How to Unlock Helob’s Questline
Before you can start Helob’s quests in the DLC, you’ll need to have completed “Unholy Alliance” in the main game. If you haven’t done this yet, go ahead and wrap that up first.
Once that’s done, head over to Smuggler’s Sanctuary. From there, you’ll need to sail to the island located to the right of the Sanctuary—you can’t miss it on your map.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
- Complete “Unholy Alliance” in the base game if you haven’t already
- Travel to Smuggler’s Sanctuary
- Sail to the island on the right side
- Enter the cave you’ll find there
- Complete all three quests Helob gives you
Pro Tip: Make sure you have some resources stockpiled before starting these quests. Helob’s requests can be demanding, and you don’t want to be running back and forth gathering materials.
The Prodigal Child: Barbatos’s Questline
This achievement requires you to complete all of Barbatos’s quests, and it’s a bit more involved than Helob’s. Plus, finding Barbatos in the first place can be tricky if you don’t know where to look.
Finding Barbatos
Here’s the trick: travel to any location in the game, then immediately head back home. When you arrive at your cult’s base, Barbatos will spawn at the docks waiting for you.
He’ll ask you to revive him, which costs Wool—one of the new resources in the DLC. Make sure you’ve been collecting this material!
Complete Quest Walkthrough
- Revive Barbatos and build his home in your village
- Construct the knitting machine (new DLC building)
- Interact with the knitting machine while Barbatos is nearby
- Craft all the clothing items he requests through his quests
- After completing his questline, equip his new clothes
- Talk to Sariel while wearing Barbatos’s outfit to finish
Important Note: The final step is easy to miss! Don’t forget to actually wear the clothes and speak with Sariel, or the achievement won’t unlock.
The Swing of the Axe: Forneus’s Quests
Forneus brings something a little different to the table—minigames! This questline is unlocked after you’ve progressed far enough to build the Lumberjack building.
Unlocking Forneus
Keep completing other quests and building projects until the Lumberjack building becomes available. This is your gateway to Forneus’s story.
How to Complete
- Revive Forneus and construct his home
- Complete his various quests (mostly fun minigames)
- Make a choice at the end: keep or release his soul
The minigames here are a nice change of pace from the usual quest structure. They’re not particularly difficult, but they add some variety to the DLC experience.
Spoiler-Free Tip: The choice at the end doesn’t affect the achievement, so pick whatever feels right for your playthrough!
Killer Instinct: Aym and Baal’s Questline
Remember those adorable cats from the base game? They’re back, and they’ve got their own achievement tied to a brand-new questline.
How to Access the Cats
First things first—you need to complete Barbatos’s entire questline. This unlocks a new dock on the right side of your base that you’ll need for this achievement.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Finish all of Barbatos’s quests first
- Look for the new dock on the right side of your cult’s base
- Interact with the dock and select the “Cats!!” option
- Bring Aym and Baal home and adopt them again
- Complete their quests (finding items and defeating enemies)
The quests involve a mix of exploration and combat. You’ll need to track down specific items and take out certain enemies, so be prepared for some dungeon diving.
Rot No More: Akron’s Questline
Akron’s questline focuses on farming and composting—fitting for a cult management game! This one becomes available as you naturally progress through the DLC.
Finding Akron
Unlike some other characters, Akron will appear as part of the normal DLC progression. Just keep traveling and completing content, and he’ll eventually show up.
Completing the Quests
- Continue playing until Akron appears
- Complete all his farming-related quests
- Master the compost system he teaches you
These quests integrate well with the base game’s farming mechanics. If you’ve already been keeping your cult well-fed, you’ll breeze through this one.
Woolhaven Reborn: The Final Achievement
This is the big one—the achievement that proves you’ve truly mastered everything the Woolhaven DLC has to offer.
Here’s the good news: there’s no special trick to unlocking it. Simply complete all five character questlines mentioned above, and Woolhaven Reborn will pop automatically.
Achievement Checklist
- Eat the Rich (Helob’s quests) — Complete
- The Prodigal Child (Barbatos’s quests) — Complete
- The Swing of the Axe (Forneus’s quests) — Complete
- Killer Instinct (Aym and Baal’s quests) — Complete
- Rot No More (Akron’s quests) — Complete
Once you’ve checked off all five, Woolhaven Reborn will unlock, and you’ll have achieved 100% completion for the DLC!
Recommended Order for Completing Achievements
While you can tackle these achievements in various orders, here’s my recommended path for the smoothest experience:
- Eat the Rich — Start here since it only requires base game completion
- The Prodigal Child — Do this second to unlock the cat dock
- Killer Instinct — Now you can access Aym and Baal
- The Swing of the Axe — Complete as the Lumberjack building unlocks
- Rot No More — Finish Akron’s quests last
- Woolhaven Reborn — Unlocks automatically!
This order ensures you’re never stuck waiting for prerequisites to unlock.
Final Tips for Achievement Hunters
Before I let you go, here are some quick tips to make your achievement hunting smoother:
- Stock up on Wool — You’ll need plenty of this new resource for revivals and crafting
- Don’t skip dialogue — Some quest triggers require speaking to specific NPCs
- Check your base regularly — New characters often spawn at the docks
- Complete the base game first — Having “Unholy Alliance” done opens up more content

And there you have it—a complete guide to every achievement in the Cult of the Lamb Woolhaven DLC! With these walkthroughs, you should have no trouble getting that 100% completion.
The Woolhaven DLC adds some fantastic content to an already amazing game. Whether you’re in it for the achievements or just want to experience more Cult of the Lamb goodness, these questlines are well worth your time.
