Effect
Adds Arcana chests to dungeon floors, providing additional Arcana pick opportunities beyond what the standard run offers. Since Arcanas are the primary driver of build power scaling, each extra Arcana you can collect per run directly amplifies your deck's potential.
Location
Found in the Library: Sanctuary area, a late-game region. Despite its late placement, it's worth targeting because the compounding benefit of extra Arcanas pays off immediately.
Rating: ★★★★★
Every additional Arcana you collect per run is a direct power multiplier. This relic effectively gives you a head start on assembling your target Arcana combination — whether that's Chain Link plus Mana Syphon plus Greed, or any other high-synergy stack. In advanced play, the difference between 3 and 4 Arcanas can be the difference between clearing and failing the hardest dungeons.
Strategic Value
- Requires Polentir to already be unlocked — without the Arcana tent active, extra Arcana chest drops have no destination
- Combine with Randomazzo for maximum Arcana density per run: Randomazzo adds in-dungeon Arcana events on top of the extra chests this relic provides
- Specifically supports "full-combo Arcana" builds that rely on assembling 4+ Arcanas to reach full power — this relic closes the gap faster
- Actively seek out Arcana chests during dungeon exploration; they don't automatically come to you
- Even suboptimal Arcana picks from the extra chests are worth taking — more Arcanas generally means more passive power regardless of specific synergies
