How to upgrade Relic Fragments in Remnant 2
Upgrades for Relic Fragments in Remnant 2 work differently from other upgrades in the game. You can’t simply upgrade your relics by exchanging resources or currency. Instead, you need to find the same fragment type again.
For example, if you wish to upgrade the Mythic Stagger Damage Relic Fragment, you will need to find it once more. Once you do, both these relic fragments roll into one forming one stronger fragment. Due to the randomized nature of Relic Fragment drops, it may take you quite a bit of time and work to upgrade a specific fragment.
