Altar Room


The room depicted in the picture contains two items that can be interacted with:

Altar

 * When examined, the Beheaded observes that the altar is:
 * "Vaguely religious, these symbols seem to evoke a holy maternal figure."
 * "...and a strange exhortation to consume wine?"
 * If the Beheaded has a Mushroom Boi! equipped, it possible to sacrifice him to the altar. If one chooses to do so, Mama Tick will not spawn in The Nest, and Mushroom Boi! will be permanently removed from the inventory, as well as granting the "Pact with the Devil" achievement if it has not already been unlocked.
 * Doing so will result in some unique dialogue.

Cloaked-Figure

 * When walking up to the altar, the Cloaked Figure will exclaim "A new disciple!" and upon talking to them for the first time, they will say "Welcome to our humble chapel brother! Are you ready to make a sacrifice?"
 * Subsequent interactions with the Cloaked Figure will result in them randomly saying one of the following lines:
 * "Pray for your salvation... with a sacrifice."
 * "Words are meaningless, only sacrifices are important..."
 * "Mama protect this lost child..."
 * "Prove your devotion!"
 * "Sacrifice will save you..."
 * "Are you really faithful?"

Cellar


The cellar has two objects that can be examined:

Sign (referred to as Cellar)

 * Upon examination the Beheaded will observe:
 * A bulletin board, a note is tacked to it.
 * "Do not forget to clean the cellar on a regular basis: the meat will not last more than 3 or 4 days, after that it will begin to emit a foul odor."

Corpse



 * A small secret room can be found within the Cellar lore room. It contains a single corpse, which results in the following text when examined:
 * "It seems one of them made it out..."
 * "The poor guy didn't get far."
 * "Oh!"
 * "There were some leftovers." (A piece of food is dropped).

Pipe Room


This lore room is often found in the area following the location of a Giant Tick. It has two objects that can be examined:

Pipe

 * When examined, the Beheaded will bang on the pipe. think to himself, and exclaim:
 * "I'm pretty sure I've seen this somewhere before..."

Noxious Stink

 * When examined, the Beheaded will exclaim:
 * "They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger..."
 * "If anybody's been living off that, they must be MONSTROUS!"
 * "Just the smell is already lethal..."
