Relics, powerful items that enhance your Nightfarer’s abilities in Elden Ring Nightreign, have a storage cap, as one player recently discovered.

A user on the r/Nightreign subreddit shared a screenshot from their Elden Ring Nightreign game today, showing a message that blocked their expedition start. “Cannot launch expedition: Too many relics in possession,” the message stated. “Please use the relic rite menu to sell off spares.”

You can't play if you have too many relics

The user, u/Scufozzover1, didn’t pinpoint the exact number but estimated “over 1000, maybe.” This could hint at a 999-item limit, though without grinding relics, the precise cap remains uncertain.

Selling excess relics offers resource gains, a practical reason to declutter your inventory. For players immersed in endless Nightreign runs, it’s easy to lose count of accumulated relics.

Thread comments resurfaced a common critique of Elden Ring Nightreign: relic management. As relics pile up, tracking them grows tricky, sparking calls for better sorting filters.

Managing even a modest relic stash is already tedious for me, so I can’t fathom handling the hundreds this Redditor amassed. While this may not trouble most players yet, as Nightreign progresses, it’s worth monitoring. For now, it’s a nudge to periodically purge unused relics.
