Man, so there’s this thing in Elden Ring Nightreign — you can tweak your character during multiple runs. I guess they snagged this trick from those roguelites. It’s all about these things called Relics.
Relics are like… little booster packs for your character. You stick ‘em on, and suddenly you’re wielding swords like you’re auditioning for an action movie, or casting spells like a wizard in a caffeine frenzy. But, real talk, there’s a hiccup with it.
And here’s where it gets a bit wonky. Because Relics show up all random-like, players start hoarding them. It’s like this guilty pleasure stash — you might find one that’s ace for archery even if you’ve never touched a bow. So it sits there, waiting for that one time you decide, “Hey, let’s give archery a whirl,” I suppose.
I’m rambling, but the thing is, your chest gets all cluttered with these Relics. It’s like clearing out an old attic. You’ve probably got dusty, outdated things you forgot you had. There’s this option to sell them for some in-game dough, but what’s the point when it’s spare change, right? Ah, but a hero on Reddit, some user called Scufozzover1 (no clue how to pronounce that!) figures out that there’s actually a cap on Relics you can hoard.
Imagine that — having so many Relics that the game taps out and says, “Nah, you’re done.” And then, bam, you can’t go on Expeditions. The game tells you to use this Relic Rite thingy to clear out the old stuff. But who even knew how many you could stash, right? Apparently, it’s about a thousand. In what universe is that not a lot?
If you’re not caught up in this Relic mess, kudos to you. We’ve got this guide for Elden Ring Nightreign that’s pretty slick, just dropping that info here. Oh, and did you hear? There are these new boss fights now. The Everdark Sovereigns — sounds like a metal band, huh? More health, more power, and new wild moves. Just in case you felt like torturing yourself a bit more.
End of the day, it’s a wacky ride, but that’s why we dig these games, right?
