Nimp Relics Guide

Nimp Relics is an item found throughout the world of Weird West that gives you the opportunity to upgrade your character's abilities and weapons. This Nimp Relics Guide tells you everything you need to know about upgrading your character with Nimp Relics.

How to get Nimp Relics

Each of the five characters in the episodes of Weird West have four abilities that are unique to them. Also, each weapon type in the game has a series of skills tied to it, and by using Nimp Relics you can upgrade each of these abilities and weapons. Nimp Relics resemble little bone necklaces, they are carved from the flesh of ancient creatures and give off a purple glow.

Nimp Relics can be acquired as a reward when you explore the different environments during the game. They tend to be found hidden in chests, behind locked doors, in secret areas, and at the end of dungeons. There is also the possibility you will earn them as a reward for completing a quest or a side objective. Keep in mind that when you switch episodes, the previous character will keep any unused Nimp Relics in their inventory, so you can get access to them by getting them to join your posse, or by killing them and looting their body. The upgrades for both your characters and their weapons each cost one or two Nimp Relics to acquire.
