Relics serve as powerful items that enhance your Nightfarer's capabilities during each expedition in Elden Ring Nightreign. However, players eventually discover there's a storage limit for these valuable artifacts.
A recent Reddit post on r/Nightreign showcased an unexpected gameplay restriction. When attempting to start an expedition, the user received a notification stating: "Cannot launch expedition: Too many relics in possession. Please use the relic rite menu to sell off spares."
You can't play if you have too many relics by u/Scufozzover1 in Nightreign
The original poster didn't specify their exact relic count, estimating "possibly over 1000." While this suggests possible alignment with the game's general 999-item limit, the precise threshold remains unclear without extensive testing.
Regular relic management offers practical benefits, primarily converting excess items into resources. However, players focused on consecutive runs might accidentally accumulate excessive quantities.
The discussion thread revived previous criticisms about Nightreign's relic management system. With growing collections, players expressed difficulty tracking individual relics and suggested improved filtering options.
Even moderate relic stockpiles can become unwieldy, making extreme cases like this Redditor's collection particularly challenging. While this may not affect casual players immediately, those engaged in long-term Nightreign progression should consider periodic relic maintenance.
