Summary
Acquiring Relics inStellarisis almost equivalent to getting a boost towards victory in the game due to the bonuses they give to a space empire, be it with their passive or active effects. Some of these relics can be acquired via defeating Crisis in the game, which often signifies a period of time, such as in the late game.
These Relics that can be acquired from the Crisis present inStellarisare often more powerful than the normal relics in the game. After acquiring them, a player can expect to have their power skyrocket when compared to other empires, provided that they know how to utilize the relics correctly.
7Scales Of The Worm
Boost Research To Gain Rare Technologies
Triggering the Horizon Signal event is one ofthe rarest anomalies, being only 5% in a random, uncontrolled black hole system. However, if encountered, the player can choose either of two outcomes, with one being quite catastrophic as it spawns The Worm in the empire’s capital.
Upon defeating The Worm, the empire will acquire the Scales Of The Worm, which boosts Physics Research Speed by 10%. Upon activating it, general research speed can be increased by 20% at the cost of an amount of Unity and small Stability, which is minor compared to the bonus that the relic gives.
6Eternal Throne
Thanks toStellaris’Galactic Paragondownloadable content, leaders in the game are more important than ever, since they can improve an empire’s productivity to even a higher degree than before, just by simply being either in a Council Position or by being a governor of a planet thanks totheir amazing traits. Unfortunately, leaders are temporal as they have a lifespan, and the Eternal Throne can be acquired to solve that problem.
The Eternal Throne allows all leaders of the empire to be immortal, making them able to reach the coveted level 10 without being concerned by their lifespan. The active effect of the relic is also quite nice to have since it boosts astral thread acquirement, which enables a player to use all the Astral Actions in the game.
5Prethoryn Brood-Queen
Conquer The Galaxy With A Crisis Fleet
Braving the challenge of destroying the powerful Prethoryn Swarm comes with the perk of pacifying its Brood-Queen, allowing a space empire to boost its society research speed by a large amount (50%). This allows them to researchimportant biological technologyby a large margin, such as gene modification.
However, its best feature comes with the fact that the empire will be able to spawn Prethoryn Fleet when the relic is activated for small Unity costs. The fleet itself can be a huge boon to conquer the galaxy, as it strengthens the already powerful fleet of the empire that is capable of defeating the Prethoryn Swarm inStellaris.
4Extradimensional Warlock
Enables Rapid Galactic Mobilization
During the late game, a war can be concluded by having the fleet in the right position, as eventhe strongest shipswill not be able to perform their best if it is not utilized correctly. By defeating the Unbidden, a player will be able to rapidly mobilize all of their fleet thanks to the Extradimensional Warlock relic, which allows them to rapidly mobilize through the galaxy with Jump Drives.
Moreover, its passive effects are quite powerful, as it increases Sublight Speed and Ship Weapons Range by a huge margin. This can be a battle decider for a fleet with long-ranged weapons, such as Battleships with Focused Arc Emitters, allowing them to decimate the enemy fleet before they even have time to react.
3Isolated Contingency Core
Enable Multi Megastructure Buildings
If having one Dyson Sphere is more than enough to catapult an empire’s economy, having two of them at the same time would be enough for an empire to buy the whole galaxy due to their sheer production of Energy Credits. The Isolated Contingency Core will enable such shenanigans, as it passively allows the empire holding the relic to build two of everymulti-stage megastructure.
Moreover, the relic also allows the megastructures to be built at a faster rate when activated, making megastructure construction trivial compared to other empires.
2Khan’s Throne
Constantly Increase Fleet Damage With Ease
Defeating The Great Khan, a midgame crisis, can be tricky since it requires a space empire to defeat the Khan’s fleet twice. However, once they manage to do so, the empire will be rewarded by the powerful Khan’s Throne, which can single-handedly turn an empire’s fortune to be the leader of the galaxy.
When activated, the relic grants a stable weapons damage increase of 20%, which can be enticing even forthe Fanatic Purifiersas they continue to wage war against the whole galaxy. Moreover, the passive effect of reducing influence cost while claiming systems will allow any warmongers to comfortably continue their war against their neighbors.
1Cetana’s Heart
Gain A Huge Amount Of Pops For Free
Due to its sheer importance in resource farming during the game,Stellarisplayers will often prioritize the growth of pops, as it allows them to gain monthly resources and progress the empirefrom an economicand technological standpoint. These precious pops can easily be acquired with Cetana’s Heart.
When activated, the relic will instantly grant 30-50 Synthetic Pops, depending on the job and housing availability across the empire’s planets. When used after owning an Ecumenopolis, the spawned Synthetic Pops can quickly be converted into alloy workers, enabling the empire to gain a massive amount of alloys monthly.
