Like Vampire Survivors, Vampire Crawlers has mystical relics that can permanently unlock new features and grant powerful ways for the player to tear enemies apart. While a few of these are given to the player during the tutorial, the rest are found deep in the bowels of dark dungeons and must be won by slaying the hordes of monsters that guard each chamber.

The secret to finding all the Relics in Vampire Crawlers is to explore thoroughly; however, this isn't always possible. While there are some buffs that let the player heal between turns, it's entirely possible to get screwed over by a bad hand of cards when the enemy is in position to heat you, leading to massive damage before you can react.

Vampire Survivors First-Person Spin-Off Release Date Revealed (And It's Coming Soon)

Poncle has announced the release date for Vampire Crawlers, the first-person Vampire Survivors spin-off, and it's launching on PC and consoles soon.

As such, players may not be able to explore each floor properly, especially when they're low on health. This can cause missing out on Relics, some of which are found deep in dungeons, meaning needing to start over if they descend to the next level.

Fortunately, there are those who have already finished Vampire Crawlers and found all the loot, meaning the path to each of the Relics can be found below.

Some of the Relic unlocks mention different dungeon floors, but the random nature of Vampire Crawlers means they can appear anywhere on that floor.

While Poe's face is undoubtedly the most beautiful sight in all gaming, it's not counted among the Relics of Vampire Crawlers. No, those are found listed here:

How To Unlock

Stardust Anvil	Unlocks the Blacksmith's workshop, where extra Gem slots can be added to cards, for a price	Found halfway across the Teeny Bridge
Bomba Infernale	When you start a dungeon run, a button will appear above the directional icons on the interface. Press X (Xbox layout) to press the button, and all enemies on the dungeon's first floor will die, giving you all of their experience points at once.	Found on Floor 3 of the Dairy Plant dungeon
Gem Hammer	Allows Gems to be added to cards that have an empty slot.	Found on Floor 2 of the Wild Forest
Grim Grimoire	Creates a tab on the Pause menu, where you can check a list of all the weapon evolutions and unions in the game, though the results won't be shown until you complete them.	Found on Floor 1 of the Library West Wing
Guiding Light	Shows all of the breakable light sources on the map, which will appear as small black lines.	Found on Floor 2 of the Inlaid Library
Combo Stack	Allows cards to be played in order of ascending mana cost to increase their effectiveness.	Given in the tutorial
Overkill	Once a boss is defeated, you can attack it using any cards still in your hand in order to earn more coins.	Found at the end of the Teeny Bridge.
Ovenkilt	Allows Overkill to be used on all encounters, not just bosses.	Given after defeating the final boss
Milky Way Map	Shows enemy locations on the minimap	Given in the tutorial
Lapidary Loupe	Opens the Jeweler in the Blacksmith, allowing the player to increase or decrease how often gems show up.	Floor 4 of Gallo Tower
Polentir	Opens the Fortune Teller tent in the village, where the player can equip any unlocked Arcana cards.	Floor 1 of the Furious Forest
Arcana Finder	Adds Arcana Chests to dungeons, which are dark purple and have a space-like pattern on them. Opening them lets the player equip additional Arcana cards.	Floor 1 of Library Sanctum
Rilevatore	Shows weapon effects on enemies.	Given in the tutorial
Sorceress' Tears	Adds a Hurry button to the world map. Pressing Y (Xbox layout) increases the game speed.	Floor 5 of Gallo Tower
Ultimate Ultra Overkill	Limit breaks the Overkill.	Floor 4 of the Curd Factory

It's worth noting that the player doesn't have to use all the Relics. If you go to the Relics house in the Village, you can toggle some of them off if you do not wish to use them. The Relics that can be switched off are the Bomba Infernale, Guiding Light, Combo Stack, Overkill, Ovenkilt, Milky Way Map, Rilevatore, and Ultimate Ultra Overkill.

It's advised that you keep the Relics turned on, unless you're planning on doing an incredibly difficult self-imposed challenge run to make the game harder. Bear in mind that the Power-Up shop has detrimental effects that can be put into the game to make things harder.

The Overkill and Ovenkilt are the most useful Relics in the game, as they allow you to earn tons of cash during a dungeon run. These will allow you to unlock all of the Crawlers, add more slots to the cards, and buy all the power-ups. By far the most expensive upgrades are with the Jeweler, as increasing the chance of Wild Card Gems and similar items is incredibly expensive, and is liable to bankrupt the player.
