Confused about how to use Weapon and Armor Relics in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon? Here’s a no-fuss, beginner-friendly guide to upgrading your gear the right way.
The Real Way to Use Relics in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon
So, you’ve stumbled across a few shiny Relics in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, and you’re wondering what the heck you’re supposed to do with them. Youโre not aloneโplenty of new players miss this part entirely because, letโs be honest, the game doesnโt exactly spell it out for you.
Letโs fix that.
What Even Are Relics?
Weapon and Armor Relics are basically magical upgrades for your gear. Think of them like power-ups that make your sword hit harder or your armor tougher.
Sounds awesome, right? The catch is, the game doesnโt tell you where to use them or how they work.
Where Do You Use Them?

Youโll need a Grindstone, which is the go-to station for all things crafting, upgrading, and yesโattaching Relics. You can find one at Osbryhtโs Blacksmith shop in Shadow of the Horn Keep.
Step-by-Step: Attaching a Relic
- Go to the Grindstone โ Youโll usually find it in major hubs like Shadow of the Horn.

2. Choose โAttach Relicโ โ This option pops up once you interact with the Grindstone.
3. Pick the gear you want to upgrade โ Weapon or armor, your call.

4. No Relic Slot? No problem. โ Hit the โ+โ icon to add a slot. Itโll cost you 500 gold, so maybe donโt do it for every rusty dagger you pick up.

Select the Relic you want to use โ If your item already has a slot, just click and drop in your chosen Relic.
Boomโyour gearโs now juiced up and ready to wreck some baddies.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
- Not all gear can hold Relics. Only helmets, cuirasses, greaves, gauntlets, boots, and capes for armorโand every weapon type, including bows.
- Rings, amulets, and spells? Nope, theyโre out.
- You can add up to two slots per item, but thatโs another 500 gold each.
So… Where Do You Actually Find Relics?
Good question! These things arenโt exactly lying around in the open. You can:
- Loot them from bosses and powerful enemies
- Score them from chests or quest rewards
- Check bounty boards, especially the one in Shadow of the Horn, for boss hunts that pay off with rare loot
- Dig up buried treasure with a shovelโRelics love to hide underground
And hey, donโt forget: Relics have weight, so unless you want to walk around like a turtle, drop them off in your stash. Thankfully, anything in your stash is accessible from the Grindstone, so no need to lug them around.
Thatโs it! Now youโre officially not one of the players who goes through the whole game never using Relics. Go forth, enhance that gear, and show those bandits who’s boss.
