A guide to knowing all the relics in Rogue Legacy 2 and their effects and knowing what to choose when the moment comes to you! In Rogue Legacy 2, you can indeed equip your lineage with relics with various effects that can facilitate your progress in the different areas of the kingdom you are exploring, or on the contrary, make your progress more difficult... To equip relics, your character needs "determination".
You can see your determination percentage at the top left of your screen. It is indicated by a small white flame next to your level. If your Determination falls below 100%, you will begin to accumulate a debuff that will reduce your maximum health by an amount equivalent to what it lacks in Determination. The total determination is determined by the weight of your equipment. The heavier you are, the less determination you will have to be able to equip relics.
The lighter you are, the more relics you can equip. Note that the base determination can be increased by spending gold at the mansion. In this guide we show you the different relics you will find while exploring the realm of Rogue Legacy 2. For each relic, we tell you their effects so you know what to choose when you find them.
List of Rogue Legacy 2 relics with their effects on the character:
Some of the relics fit better with certain classes in the lineage. You always have the choice between two relics in a room, make sure to choose the one that will best suit your class or your style of play. Note that cursed relics are dangerous, if you take a hit you can say goodbye to your character… On the other hand, if you manage to purify these relics, there are good effects to be gained.
