Relics, Vampire Crawlers के backbone हैं। ये permanently game के काम करने के तरीके को change करते हैं, map पर enemy positions reveal करने से लेकर हर boss fight से extra gold निकालने तक। एक miss कर दो और शायद तुम्हें पता भी न चले कि तुम क्या खेल रहे हो। अच्छी खबर: हर relic एक specific stage से tied है, इसलिए अगर तुम normally progress कर रहे हो तो इनमें से कोई भी missable नहीं है।
Vampire Crawlers में relics क्या हैं?
GameSpot की coverage के according, relics toggleable gameplay modifiers की तरह function करते हैं। कुछ entirely new systems unlock करते हैं, जैसे Blacksmith's Workshop या Arcana Tent। दूसरे existing mechanics को tweak करते हैं, जैसे game को speed up करना या enemies पर weapon effects दिखाना। तुम इनमें से ज़्यादातर को Village में Relics house पर on या off कर सकते हो, जिसका मतलब है कि तुम challenge को dial up या down करने के लिए इनका use कर सकते हो, जैसा तुम्हें ठीक लगे।
तीन relics तुम्हें automatically दिए जाते हैं: Combo Stack, Milky Way Map, और Rilevatore, ये सब tutorial के दौरान बिना किसी effort के मिल जाते हैं। बाकी सब के लिए specific dungeon stage तक पहुंचना ज़रूरी है।
The Relics that can be toggled off include Bomba Infernale, Guiding Light, Combo Stack, Overkill, Ovenkilt, Milky Way Map, Rilevatore, and Ultimate Ultra Overkill. Keep them on unless you're deliberately making a challenge run harder.
सभी relics और उन्हें कहाँ unlock करना है
Here's every relic confirmed in Vampire Crawlers at launch, cross-referenced across GameSpot, Destructoid, and DualShockers:
Two relics, Milky Way Map and Ultimate Ultra Overkill, have no listed stage in some sources. DualShockers confirms Ultimate Ultra Overkill drops at Floor 4 of the Curd Factory. Milky Way Map is given during the tutorial per DualShockers, though Destructoid lists it as N/A. Go with the tutorial unlock.

किन relics को prioritize करना चाहिए?
Not all relics are created equal. Here's the honest breakdown based on what each one actually does for your runs.
Overkill और Ovenkilt: gold engines
DualShockers के according, Overkill और Ovenkilt game के most valuable relics हैं। Overkill तुम्हें coins earn करने के लिए defeated boss पर अपनी remaining hand cards burn करने देता है। Ovenkilt इसे हर encounter पर extend करता है, सिर्फ bosses पर नहीं। दोनों को stack करो और तुम एक पूरे dungeon run में serious gold generate कर रहे होगे।
That gold matters because the most expensive upgrades in the game sit inside the Jeweler, which the Lapidary Loupe unlocks. Bumping the spawn rate of Wild Card Gems and similar high-value items is extremely costly, per DualShockers, so having the Overkill chain running all game is what funds those purchases.
Ovenkilt comes with a trade-off: chests no longer grant gold once it's active. You're giving up passive chest income in exchange for active combat income. In most runs, the combat income wins out, but keep this in mind if you're relying on chest drops early.
Stardust Anvil और Gem Hammer: card investment
Stardust Anvil Blacksmith's Workshop को unlock करता है, और Gem Hammer तुम्हें cards में gems slot करने की ability देता है। ये दोनों साथ में काम करते हैं। अकेले इनमें से कोई ज़्यादा कुछ नहीं करता, लेकिन एक बार जब तुम्हारे पास दोनों हों, तो तुम cards बनाना शुरू कर सकते हो जो उनके base stats से काफी ज़्यादा punch करती हैं। इन्हें early में get करो और Blacksmith dungeon floors के बीच एक regular stop बन जाएगा।
Bomba Infernale: speed-run shortcut
Bomba Infernale सिर्फ उन dungeons पर activate होता है जिन्हें तुमने पहले ही clear कर लिया है, पहले floor को instantly wipe करता है और तुम्हें उन enemies का सारा experience दे देता है। यह पहली visit पर useless है, लेकिन familiar dungeons के repeat runs पर यह meaningful amount of time बचाता है। इसे power spike के बजाय thorough exploration के लिए reward के तौर पर सोचो।

Toggle system कैसे काम करता है?
Once you've unlocked a relic, head to the Relics house in the Village to manage which ones are active. Some relics, like Grim Grimoire, Stardust Anvil, Polentir, Randomazzo, and Lapidary Loupe, are always on once unlocked and cannot be switched off. The rest can be toggled freely.
This matters for challenge runs. Vampire Crawlers already has a Power-Up shop that lets you add detrimental effects to your game, per DualShockers. Turning off relics on top of that stacks the difficulty further for players who want a genuinely punishing experience.
The random nature of dungeon generation in Vampire Crawlers means relics tied to specific floors can appear anywhere on that floor. If you're hunting a relic and don't see it immediately, keep exploring before descending to the next level.
Ovenkilt unlock location discrepancy पर एक नोट
Two sources list different unlock stages for Ovenkilt. Destructoid notes it as a secret relic with an unlisted location, while GameSpot lists Cappella Ultima (after defeating the final boss). DualShockers confirms it's awarded after beating the final boss. The GameSpot and DualShockers accounts align, so treat Cappella Ultima as the correct unlock.
Vampire Crawlers launched on April 21, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC, developed and published by Poncle. GameSpot notes that additional relics may be added in future updates, so this list reflects the launch version.
