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 in the Rarity column).

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.

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.
