Relics

Relics are items for Shovel Knight to use in Shovel of Hope as alternative weapons to his Shovel Blade. Since then, the Relics have appeared under different guises and variations, in the other titles of the series.

Description[]

Relics, similarly to King Knight's Heirlooms, deplete numerical values as opposed to a gauge, although Relics consume Magic rather than Vigor. The Magic Capacity can be replenished by collecting Magic Jars.

Relics can be found in each Order of No Quarter stage by finding Chester's blue chest in a stage and by buying them from him for a price. If a stage is finished without buying the Relic in it from Chester, he will sell it in the Village for a higher Price. The only Relics not bought from Chester are the two Troupple Chalices, which are bought from the Troupple Acolyte in the Village. With them, Shovel Knight can store magical Ichor provided by the Troupple King, of which there are three different types.

Shovel Knight's initial Magic Capacity can be further increased by buying Magic Drinks from the Magicist in the Village.

The Relics also make an appearance in Plague of Shadows, where Plague Knight encounters the same various items but deems them worthless, trading them to Chester for Arcana, explaining how Chester came in hand with them for Shovel Knight to buy. Until he trades them away they are kept in the Relic Heap in the Gear tab. Each Relic can be traded for the appropriate Arcana and should the Arcana be purchased without the Relic, the Relic becomes useless. The Troupple Chalice also make a reappearance, only one bought from the female Troupple Acolyte in the Armor Outpost, however this time the Troupple King provides different Cloaks for Plague Knight to wear.
