Various relics can be found throughout the nine circles. Once found, they can be equipped to Dante and offer various effects to augment his combat ability. Initially you can only equip two relics, but progressing up the holy and unholy paths unlocks additional relic slots. Equipped Relics can also level up as Dante gathers souls, increasing the effect they provide.
