To help you find all of the Nimp Relics in Weird West, we’ve prepared this guide where we’ll be going over the exact location of every single Nimp Relic in the game.
What Are Nimp Relics in Weird West?
In Weird West, a Nimp Relic is a collectible item that you can find, serving an extremely important purpose in the game.
If you want to unlock your character’s abilities and upgrade their weapon skills, you need to use Nimp Relics. This collectible item is a small bone necklace with a distinct purple glow, making it easy to spot.
Each character ability and weapon skill will cost 1-2 Nimp Relics to unlock, so you’ll need to find quite a few of them to make your characters as powerful as possible.
There are many ways of obtaining Nimp Relics in Weird West. You can get them from hidden chests, secret areas, locked rooms, dungeons, and even as a reward for completing quests.
You’ll naturally find a fair bit of Nimp Relics as you play through the game. But if you want to get all of them, you’ll have to know exactly where to look before exploring.
An important mechanic to keep in mind is that the character you just switched from will keep their unused Nimp Relics on them when you switch episodes. If you want to get it from them, you’ll have to either make them join or party or kill them and loot their corpse.
What is the Difference Between Nimp Relics and Nimp Heads in Weird West?
There is another collectible item in Weird West known as a “Nimp Head,” which can easily be mistaken for a Nimp Relic. Despite sharing a similar name and appearance, Nimp Relics and Nimp Heads serve completely different purposes in the game.
Nimp Relics serve an incredibly useful purpose in the game. They are used to unlock character abilities and weapon skills.
But Nimp Heads, on the other hand, don’t have any real purpose in the game. The only thing you can do with them is to sell them off to Doctors.
You can find Doctors in almost every town in the Weird West world. However, that does not make Nimp Heads useless at all. Each Nimp Head can be sold to a Doctor for 50 Dollar Coins.
