Unlocking special artifacts in Cult of the Lamb often requires players to decipher cryptic riddles during their dungeon runs. Among these hidden treasures is Kudaai's Relic, a unique item that requires following a specific clue given by the weapon dealer himself. Understanding how to interpret this riddle and navigate to the correct destination ensures players can claim the reward without unnecessary delay.

Understanding Kudaai's Cryptic Clue

During a crusade, encountering Kudaai in his room triggers a special dialogue where he hints at a lost personal item. He speaks of darkness, a great beastie's belly, and laughter echoing through bones. This subtle riddle directs players away from combat dungeons and points toward a specific hub world location.

The key to solving the clue lies in identifying the creature described in Kudaai's story. Rather than battling through hordes of enemies, players must focus on exploring established safe havens. Knowing where to look saves time and prevents unnecessary confusion during your playthrough.

Traveling to Smuggler's Sanctuary

To begin the retrieval process, open your map and fast travel directly to Smuggler's Sanctuary. This coastal area becomes available after first meeting Plimbo during your adventures in Anchordeep. Once you arrive at the docks, head towards the central area where Plimbo keeps his shop and belongings.

Look closely at the large creature resting near Plimbo's vendor setup. This oversized aquatic beast is the subject of Kudaai's riddle. Interacting with the creature in a specific manner triggers the next step of the quest line.

How to Obtain Kudaai's Fingernail

Approach the large fish mount behind Plimbo and prompt the interaction menu. Select the "Tickle" option to interact with the beast directly. After a brief animation, the creature will react and vomit out the hidden artifact onto the ground.

Pick up the dropped item, which is officially known as Kudaai's Fingernail. Collecting this item immediately completes Kudaai's quest and adds the powerful artifact to your pool of available tools for future crusades.

Using the Relic in Future Crusades

Once unlocked, Kudaai's Relic can appear randomly during future dungeon runs or be selected when visiting specialized rooms. Carrying relics provides distinct combat advantages, allowing players to turn the tide of difficult battles. Mastering their activation timing helps maximize damage output against tough bosses.
