One of the most interesting features of Elden Ring Nightreign is the ability to modify your character over the course of several runs. That’s something FromSoftware borrowed from other roguelites, and it’s represented in game through Relics.
Relics are bundles of buffs that you attach to your characters to boost their latent abilities, proficiency with certain weapons/spells and more. They offer all kinds of useful bonuses that, when picked correctly, can really complement your chosen class.
That does create a bit of a problem, however.
Because of the random nature of Relics, Nightreign players are incentivised to keep a storage of them until they need them. For instance, if you never use bows and arrows, and you find a Relic with a really strong bonus to archery, you’re more likely to save it until the moment you try Ironeye, or when you feel like doing a bow-only run.
That, of course, causes players’ storage chests to be cluttered with plenty of Relics waiting to be equipped. Some of them may even be so old that the player has likely received much better versions hours ago without realising.
Nightreign does offer an option to sell off your old Relics for in-game currency, but you get so little of it that most players don’t bother. Until now, when Reddit user Scufozzover1 discovered that the game does, indeed, have a limit to the number of Relics you can hoard.
You can’t play if you have too many relics

In fact, as you can see in their Reddit post, having a full inventory of Relics means you won’t be able to go on Expeditions. Scufozzover1 posted the error message the game throws out, which is not something many players have seen.
Of course, the game recommends using the Relic Rite feature to get rid of the ones you don’t need, which is really something you should be doing regularly as you continue playing and acquiring more powerful Relics.
The reason this took a while to be uncovered is that Nightreign doesn’t actually show an inventory limit for Relics, so players had no idea how many they can actually store. Scufozzover1 says it’s close to 1,000, which is a massive number.
If you’re not Relic hoarding, you probably know better, which means you’re going to appreciate our Elden Ring Nightreign guide. We recently updated it with Remembrance (character quests) walkthroughs for the Executor Remembrance quest, and Duchess Remembrance quest.
And, in case you missed it, FromSoftware recently introduced the first of several harder versions of the game’s Nightlords. The so called Everdark Sovereign bosses don’t just have more health and deal higher damage, they also use new moves against you.
