In Cult of the Lamb, the first dungeon you can fight in is called Darkwood. It's one of the finest places to increase your following early on because of this. If you want to win the game, you must finish this dungeon, so you might as well gain some followers while you're at it.

In Cult of the Lamb, follower tasks may appear boring to complete, but many of them can provide you with worthwhile benefits, such as (but not limited to) more followers! When questioned, these followers who offer quests will say that some people wish to join your cult for unknown reasons and will ask you if you'd like to admit them.
