Ratau

[Meta Binding]

WHY DO WE HAVE TO KILL HIM FOR 100%. I please the developers, add another way of saving Ratau. Maybe even let us "resurrect" him after the sacrifice. I feel terrible I was forced to do this.

Wolf follower skin was worth it tho

I suggested on the Idea thread an option of instead of sacrificing him and others how about an option to form a hunting party and whipping the Wolf entities ass. Why should the lamb bow down to anyone to prove their ferocity? Sacrificing others should be the weaker route over building up the force to do any number of other options.

Got to love how people don't realize that the quest line was well embedded into the events prior to the game even being launched given that there was an ARG that used the Fox.
"ARG Appearance
The Fox appeared in the pre-release Cult of the Lamb ARG, or Alternate Reality Game. In a hidden page on the website, solvers had to input into a textbox, which opened another page that feature the Fox glitching about in the background, as well as blue Fox that looked slightly different. Afterwards they would sacrifice their Discord usernames. The next day, a discord user named Ravenousnight with the Fox as their profile sent users audio files and hints to solve the ARG. After calling a phone number a robotic voice would tell them that they needed to sacrifice Ratau in exchange for something extremely valuable. Fox repeats the exact phrase word for word in his 4th encounter. Inputting "Ratau" into the other website would solve the ARG."

Still doesn't change that things can still be added to the game that can change how things play out. People will always like to have another option in-game when it comes to whether the sacrifice (the weaker option) was actually good enough or whether doing something else no matter how much higher the difficulty curb is better (lets be honest the wolf isn't going to be as anywhere as difficult as the final boss). Lets also not stop and think turning the wolf's Skull into an artifact for the Cult and his flesh into the Lamb's Robe wouldn't be a awesome idea (the wolf follower skin would be a given as a basic reward gained just for the sacrifice but getting all 3 for going fully the harder route).

You seem to be under the impression that Fox is but a mere mortal and aren't something more powerful than you given the infamy the Pilgrims make of the character's alias.

You seem to forget that Narinder is the more powerful one here so far. Able to collect the whole cult before the final fight where as the fox shows caution towards the lamb and tries to beguile the lamb for a sacrifice (the kills the fox has done are to lesser beings that were alone) not demands the sacrifice. There is also the fact he only interacts with the lamb in darkened spots (meaning if during the fight the area brightened up [be it getting allies to do something outside the fighting area] would weaken the fox). If we are going to use quotes then here is one "Even Gods can die". Lets also note Ratau may also have quite the knowledge on the Fox and could provide assistance as will in other ways then combat.

If your going to continue with how dangerous the fox is then give links that prove your statement. I couldn't find much through googling that would support your words besides being an more then he appears (Which is why I called him a wolf [to be more specifics a wolf hidden in a fox body because it follows a more hardcore term then a wolf in sheep clothing]).

Yet got defeated by their siblings and imprisoned by them stripping them of their power and influence, got overthrown by their vessel and either officially killed or turned into a follower!
Ever asked yourself if Fox was able to be beaten that Leshy,Heket,Kallamar,Shamura and Narinder at the height of their reign wouldn't have already taken them out?

You still have not shown any source to prove your statement. What I have said can be proven with actual gameplay and google searches. If you can't actually prove it then your just raising the Fox's danger level in your own eyes and for the Bishops and Narinder not to take him out could just be the same for how they viewed the other cults on the Island (they just didn't care or didn't have enough reason to perceive em as threats).

Now if we are talking about beating the ass of anyone asking/demanding a sacrifice the same could be said of Midas. You only get to fully fight him post game and he demands a sacrifice for each medallion piece he has. The same I said for the Fox how about just the option to force him to give the lamb each piece maybe heck take it a bit further to take his artifact (the Gold Machine) and to be able to use it on turning trash items (instead of giving em to Narinder) or implement an option to capture enemy combatants (not the beaten submissive bosses) thus making them the sacrifice that doesn't hurt the cult when they are disposed of.

[Impos!]

I would also like the chance to beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of Fox and not sacrifice my rat friend.

Or maybe you can fight Fox after sacrificing him and that brings him back?
