Relics & Synergies

01 Relic Overview

Relics are permanent passive bonuses found inside tunnels. A pulsing R tile (Relic Shrine) appears in the middle section of tunnels for players level 10+. Step on it to choose 1 of 3 relics. You can never be offered a relic you already own.

Relics persist across all tunnel runs and sessions. They appear in your inventory as special items and can be dropped (X) for others to pick up. The shrine persists if you own all relics, allowing party members to use it.
