Mechanics

  • This Unique Relic can only be used with Forbidden TomesForbidden TomeArea Level: (68-83)Mundus noster cecidit. Daemones ubique sunt. Librum
    hunc in sacrarium conicio, ut forte alius viam inveniat...
    Take this item to the Relic Altar in the Forbidden Sanctum to enter.
    of level 75+.
  • Unique Relics are destroyed upon starting a run.
  • This item causes the final reward chest after defeating Lycia, Herald of the Scourge to duplicate 4 random Offer Rewards.

Strategies

  • Fountains and Afflicted Fountains provide no benefits.
  • Obtain Inspiration if possible.
  • Prioritize Merchant rooms whenever possible. Minibosses can also be beneficial if using the Relics listed below; the 2nd floor boss (Braom and Uzar) will proc the modifier twice. Accursed Pacts can be beneficial, as Pacts that cause you to Lose #% Maximum Resolve only affect the Maximum Resolve value, so if the player is already missing current Resolve, the impact of these downsides is lessened.
  • Boons: Avoid Boons that modify Inspiration or Resolve recovery as these will have no effect.
    • "Holy Descry" can save a run if your Resolve hits 0, as long as you have Boons to remove.
  • Afflictions: Avoid the following Afflictions early in the run: "Liquid Cowardice", "Spiked Exit".
  • Relics: Use a few large Relics with #% increased Maximum Resolve and/or Gain # Maximum Resolve when you kill a Boss. The latter modifier will add a proportional amount of current Resolve when gaining Maximum Resolve, bypassing the restriction preventing Resolve recovery. Afterwards, use Relics with additional Merchant choices or additional revealed Rooms.
  • To maximize the value from the Gilded Chalice, avoid taking rewards that drop at the end of the 4th Sanctum floor or the dungeon unless you see a high-value reward. Stacking Relics and Boons that reveal rooms for the last floor can help you find and fish for big rewards.
