The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu guides hub
Welcome to themoundomenofcthulhu.org — an unofficial The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu wiki and guides index for co-op extraction players.
1–4 player co-op extraction horror in a Lovecraftian jungle — sanity, noise, contracts, and ox-wagon extraction.
Site scope
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is a co-op extraction horror FPS from ACE Team and Nacon. Launch from Tempestad, pick contracts, explore the jungle for loot and logbooks, manage sanity and noise, and extract via the ox-wagon before eldritch threats overwhelm your team. We focus on high-intent guides (crossplay, sanity, noise, extraction) plus wiki hubs (weapons, enemies, contracts, saints, maps) with Pending labels where data is still thin.
Not the Lovecraft short story
Google mixes H.P. Lovecraft's prose "The Mound" with ACE Team's video game on Steam (App 2569760). This hub covers the 2026 co-op extraction FPS only.
Start here — onboarding guides
Launch-week traffic clusters crossplay, beginner tips, and Discord LFG — start with the three onboarding pages before deep wiki hubs.
| Order | Guide | Why read it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Beginner guide | Tempestad hub, Basic contracts, first ox-wagon extract |
| 2 | Crossplay | PS5 + Xbox + PC invites before you sign a contract |
| 3 | Controls | PC keybinds, proximity voice, push-to-talk setup |
| 4 | Discord | Official LFG when platform friends lists are empty |
Recommended first expedition loop
Pick a Basic contract → learn sanity voice checks → move quietly per noise guide → bank loot on the ox-wagon.
Survival & mechanics guides
These problem-solving guides differentiate this wiki from generic bestiary clones — sanity, noise, extraction, and solo rules are the core skill floor.
Core survival quartet
Sanity guide · Noise guide · Extraction guide · Solo guide — read all four before pushing mid-tier contracts.
Quick tips from verified materials
• Stay near teammates or the ox-wagon when sanity drops — hallucinations are personal and voice-check your squad.
• Rain disables matchlock and flintlock firearms — pack a crossbow, bow, or melee backup.
• Move quietly: gunshots, sprinting, and chopping branches raise jungle noise and wake threats.
• Pick contract difficulty you can extract from — loot only matters if you reach the ox-wagon alive.
• Carve Patron Saints before expeditions; blessings like rain control can save a run.
Voice and trust
Proximity voice and push-to-talk tie into sanity — configure binds on controls before crossplay squads rely on callouts.
Wiki hubs — data tables & indexes
Wiki hubs host broad keywords (weapons, monsters, contracts, patron saints, maps) with internal links to specialized guides — entity subpages arrive in Phase 2 when stat blocks stabilize.

Hub pages vs intent pages
Intent pages (beginner, crossplay, sanity, noise, extraction, solo, logbooks, loadouts) teach a mechanic. Hub pages (weapons, enemies, contracts, saints, maps, tier list, characters, guides, updates) index data and link outward.
Pages intentionally excluded
No `/codes` — Steam title, not Roblox. No class/rune/pet pages — unverified Gemini hallucinations. Legal pages (`/about`, privacy, terms) are noindex and omitted here.
