33 Relics are powerful, identity-shaping items in Fatekeeper. The Weapons, Relics and Forgotten Arts dev blog frames them as echoes of old traditions: rare ingredients and artifacts still heavy with dormant power. Relics scatter across the world, hiding in ruins, sealed alcoves, and end-of-side-path chests. Each one carries character beyond its raw stats.
