Relics serve as powerful items granting Nightfarers crucial advantages during their Elden Ring Nightreign expeditions. Interestingly, players eventually hit a storage limit for these valuable artifacts.
The Relic Storage Dilemma
A Reddit user recently shared an in-game notification highlighting this limitation: "Cannot launch expedition: Too many relics in possession. Please use the relic rite menu to sell off spares."
You can't play if you have too many relics

The player estimated possessing "upwards of 1000 maybe" relics, suggesting a potential cap similar to Elden Ring's standard 999-item limit. However, without exhaustive testing, the precise threshold remains uncertain.
Managing Your Artifact Hoard
Regular relic maintenance proves essential for several reasons:
- Freeing up storage space
- Converting unused relics into valuable resources
- Maintaining inventory organization during consecutive runs
The community has noted ongoing concerns about relic management systems. As collections grow, players find it increasingly challenging to:
- Track specific relics
- Sort collections efficiently
- Identify redundant items
Seasoned players recommend periodic relic purification sessions to avoid accumulation issues. While casual players might not immediately encounter this problem, dedicated Nightfarers should implement regular inventory maintenance strategies.
