Relics are powerful items that provide your Nightfarer with a significant advantage in every Elden Ring Nightreign run. However, there is a cap on how many of these items you can store in your hideaway.
A user on the r/Nightreign subreddit recently shared an in-game screenshot where a special message prevented them from starting an expedition. The alert read, "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 user u/Scufozzover1 didn't specify an exact number, estimating they had "upwards of 1000 maybe." While this could be tied to a general 999 item limit, without grinding for that many relics, the actual cap remains unclear.
Clearing out your relic storage has several benefits, primarily for resource management. If you're repeatedly playing Elden Ring Nightreign, it's easy to lose track of how many relics you've collected.
Comments in the thread revived a common criticism of Elden Ring Nightreign: the necessity of relic management. As your collection grows, organizing relics becomes challenging, highlighting the need for better filters to sort through them efficiently.
Even with a moderate stockpile of basic relics, I find managing them somewhat tedious. I can only imagine how overwhelming it must be for this Redditor with hundreds upon hundreds of relics. While this may not affect most players immediately, as Nightreign continues over time, it's wise to monitor your inventory. At the very least, it serves as a good reminder to periodically clear out unused relics.
