Discover all relics in Elden Ring Nightreign, from common randomized ones to unique Nightfarer and Night Lord rewards, and master unlocking them via expeditions and quests.

What to know

  • Relics equip into color-coded slots (red, blue, green, yellow) at the Roundtable Hold altar for permanent passive bonuses on Nightfarers.​
  • Common relics (Tranquil, Drizzly, Luminous, Burning Scenes) offer 1-3 random effects in Delicate, Polished, or Grand tiers, earned from any expedition end.​
  • Unique Remembrance relics tie to specific Nightfarers, unlocked via their quests; Night Lord relics are universal drops from first boss defeats.​
  • Change slot colors with Class Goblets from Small Jar Bazaar after early bosses, bought for Murk to adapt builds flexibly.​​

Relics form the backbone of progression in Elden Ring Nightreign, letting you customize Nightfarers with passive effects that persist across expeditions. You access them exclusively at the Roundtable Hold’s blue-candle altar by selecting “Perform Relic Rites,” where tabs show each class’s slots and your collection. Whether you triumph over Night Lords or fall early, every run yields Murk and relic choices, with deeper runs offering superior Grand tiers.​​

Nightfarer slot configurations

Each of the eight Nightfarers starts with a fixed “Urn” chalice dictating three color slots, but Goblets (purchased post-Tricephalos for 1,200 Murk) unlock alternate layouts for versatility.

Nightfarer Default Urn Slots Goblet Alternative (Example)
Wylder Red, Red, Blue Varies by class
Guardian Red, Yellow, Yellow 2 Blue, 1 Green
Duchess Red, Blue, Blue Varies by class
Recluse Blue, Blue, Green Varies by class
Ironeye Yellow, Green, Green Varies by class
Raider Red, Green, Green Varies by class
Executor Red, Yellow, Yellow Varies by class
Revenant Blue, Blue, Yellow Varies by class

Ways to acquire every relic

Stock your collection through these reliable methods, prioritizing Remembrance quests for class-specific power spikes.​​

Expedition rewards

Pick from 2-3 options post-run (win or lose); survive longer for Polished/Grand quality with stronger random effects like “Physical Attack Up +2” or “Stamina recovers with each successful attack.”​

Small Jar Bazaar purchases

Spend Murk on direct relics, Besmirched Frame (blue, universal: Taking attacks improves attack power, Faith +3), or Scenic Flatstones that randomly generate common relics.​​

Remembrance quests

Complete each Nightfarer’s multi-step storyline (accessed via Roundtable Hold NPCs) for tailored relics; third quest often yields chalices for slot swaps.​

Universal relics from bosses like Equilibrious Beast (Night of the Demon, red: Huge rune discount, Madness builds FP).

Wylder’s mobility and skill dominance

Wylder excels as a grapple-focused skirmisher, leveraging relics for extra utility and damage. Pair his Chalice with these for fire spreads, stamina recovery, and massive skill buffs.

  • Wilder’s Earring: +1 skill use (extra grapple/revive), art activation spreads fire, stamina recovery on melee hits—from his remembrance.​
  • Will of Balance: +5% melee, +20% skill power, 20% chance nullify lowered negation attacks—from Everdark Balancers.​
  • Will of the Balancers: Another +5% melee/+20% skill (stacks to 10%/40%), minor FP recovery—from normal Balancers.​

These turn Wylder into a versatile beast, matching casters in output.

Guardian’s unbreakable support tanking

Guardian thrives by blocking chip damage while reviving allies, using relics to heal teams and charge arts faster. His Chalice amplifies guard stance synergy.

Ironeye’s poison bow devastation

Ironeye shreds from afar with poison procs and weapon swaps, no melee needed. Goblin Chalice boosts his status game.

  • Grand Burning Scene: Ult poison buildup, +10% power vs poisoned foes, auto art charge—from Collector’s.​​
  • Knight of the Lord: Affinity on swap (+10% elemental/physical), ideal for bow juggling—from Knight aspect.​
  • Knight of the Wise: Starting poison, +12% power near poison/rot, +FP—from Sentient Pest.​

Swap during stamina breaks for 20%+ damage uptime.

Raider’s trade-hit supremacy

Raider smashes colossals while trading blows—Spirit Shelter Grail fits his aggression.

  • Grand Tranquil Scene: +15% power on hits taken, poise/damage negation—from Collector’s.​
  • Another Grand Tranquil (rally post-damage, +2 Vigor/Poise)—Small Jar Merchant.​
  • Glass Necklace: 35% successive stacks on L2/dual spam—Undertaker.​
