Quick start

New to Arsiltus? Follow these steps to prepare for launch day.

  1. 1

    Wishlist your platform

    Add The Relic: First Guardian on Steam or your PlayStation library list, then reserve install space for a day-one patch.

  2. 2

    Learn the stamina rule

    Read the combat guide so you stop playing like a classic soulslike and start budgeting stamina for defense only.

  3. 3

    Pick one weapon family

    Commit for your first evening — Sword and Shield is the best classroom for Groggy and parries.

  4. 4

    Plan a Relic identity

    Choose aggressive, defensive, or elemental packages before you equip every shiny passive you find.

  5. 5

    Scout your first Brutal

    Decide whether the fight wants parries or dodges, refill Breath of Esser, then commit to one plan.
