Walkthrough[edit]

A picked up Dangerous Relic will act as a bundle, which first causes the effect Soul Shackle (effect).png Relic Imprisonment and the hint "The relic has trapped you. Overpower it quickly." to appear. Using the skill  Break Free (Dangerous Relic).png Break Free an equal amount to the effect's stacks makes the relic inert and you can safely bring it back to Livia's Magical Crate of Shrinking or use  Spinning Lob.png Throw Item to throw it to the pile. Note: THE SKILL ONLY WORKS IF USED IN THE POISON CLOUD PRODUCED IN THE PLACE IT IS PICKED UP. The players must stay inside the red circle that spawns under the relic, when it gets picked up, in order for the stacks to diminish. The relics can be thrown while gliding as well.

Kryptis veterans marked with Event swords (tango icon).png will quickly carry relics to their rifts, marked by Event cog (tango icon).png. Relics dropped from these foes are inert and do not require breaking free from them.

Any Kryptis that might step into the poison field created by the dangerous relics gain Poisonous Buildup.png Poisonous Buildup.

Dialogue[edit]

Event start
Livia: Hey, look alive! Help me round up these relics before the Kryptis get their grubby claws on them.
or
Livia: Hey, hero, help me gather up these relics before the damned Kryptis make off with them.
Delivering a relic
Livia: Nice find.
Livia: Much appreciated.
Livia: Ooh, yeah, that one's pretty dangerous.
Livia: Can't believe this was just lying around.
Event success
Livia: Well done. Let's go.
or
Livia: That should suffice. Let's head to the museum.
Livia: We've had Astral Ward members planted across all Tyria, collecting relics deemed too dangerous to be left out in the open.
Livia: They were being sent here to be sorted and archived. But the Kryptis attacks have been mucking everything up...
Livia: Everyone on relic duty has either fled or fallen... I know a thing or two about artifacts, so I figured I'd step in.
Livia: I appreciate the assist.
Event failure
Livia: Damn it. What a waste.

Related achievements[edit]

Moving whilst under the Soul Shackle (effect).png Relic Imprisonment effect may trigger a state in which the  Break Free (Dangerous Relic).png Break Free skill does not reduce the number of effect stacks, resulting in the player being downed when the effect timer expires.
