Relics serve as powerful items that enhance your Nightfarer's abilities during each Elden Ring Nightreign expedition. Surprisingly, players eventually reach a storage limit for these valuable artifacts.
A Reddit user recently shared an intriguing screenshot from their Elden Ring Nightreign gameplay, showcasing an unexpected restriction. The game displayed a message stating: "Cannot launch expedition: Too many relics in possession. Please use the relic rite menu to sell off spares."

While the player didn't specify their exact relic count, they estimated accumulating "upwards of 1000 maybe." While this might suggest a standard 999-item cap exists, few players will realistically amass such quantities to test this theory.
Regular relic disposal offers practical benefits, primarily converting them into valuable resources. However, dedicated players focusing solely on consecutive Nightreign runs might accidentally accumulate excessive quantities.
Community discussions revived an ongoing criticism about Nightreign's relic management system. As collections grow, organizing relics becomes increasingly challenging, prompting calls for better sorting filters.
The issue presents escalating challenges - while my modest relic collection already feels cumbersome, this Redditor's extensive hoard demonstrates extreme scaling. Though currently affecting few players, prolonged gameplay makes relic management progressively important. Periodic inventory maintenance remains advisable.
