Die in the Dungeon: Origins – Relics Guide

Relics in Die in the Dungeon: Origins act as special modifiers and keep the game fun throughout every run. Sometimes they offer flat buffs, such as +1 value to specific dice. In other cases, they offer completely new abilities, like dealing damage to random targets after you’ve played a specific number of dice.

There are two ways to get a relic during the game. You get it as a reward every few battles or during encounters where you’ll have to roll the mentioned score. Left alone, the relics don’t amount to much; however, when coupled together, they can produce devastating results. A major part of the game involves understanding the synergy between different relics and using it to get high rolls on your dice.

This guide covers all the dice currently available in Die in the Dungeon: Origins and will help you plan out your runs more effectively.

Tips on Relics

1. Experiment with new relic combinations. You never know what new combo you may stumble upon during experimentation.

2. Always choose high-rarity relics, even if they have negative effects. The negative effects can be easily countered with a few key counterpicks down the line.

3. Relics that deal damage are good for the early game but fall off as you reach the higher levels. Instead, focus on ones that offer discounts, such as Blindfold of Rage.

4. Given the low health pool, healing dice or healing relics are also quite valuable. Therefore, the Prismatic Mango in Die in the Dungeon is one of the most sought-after healing relics.

5. Finally, relics that grant extra value to dice placed in a slot are very powerful, especially if you manage to insert a prism dice in one of them. Prism dice affect other dice that target other spaces on the board. So even a +1 boost from Pachinko Balls can put forth some serious numbers on the board.
