Relics are permanent items that provide a passive bonus for the rest of the run. Most relics are available to all characters, with some exceptions (indicated for each relic). The Ironclad and Silent each have access to 11 unique relics while the Defect and Watcher only have 9 apiece.

Starter Relics are granted upon starting a run with the corresponding character.

Common, Uncommon, and Rare Relics can be found from a variety of sources. Usually, the odds of getting a particular rarity of relic is 3:2:1 (50%/33%/17%). Chests have their own rarity chances, which result in the chances of getting each rarity being (49%/42%/9%).

Boss Relics can only be found from Bosses (or in Neow's starting choice, traded for Starter Relic).

Event Relics can only be found from specific event outcomes.

Finally, Shop Relics can only be purchased from the Merchant.
