The ‘Elixir of the Tide’s Breath’ is the first of the four Forgotten Relics that Lina and Orin must find along their adventure. It’s the first magical item that they need to complete the ritual that will bring Lina back to her life on the surface. This relic allows Lina to feel more connected to the Ocean upon discovering this, the relic acting as a literal and symbolic representation of a bridge between two worlds. The man-made bottle with oceanic elements decorating the outside.

The ‘Scroll of the Sea’s Memory’ is the second relic that Lina and Orin find on their adventure, this one specifically needing the help of their Ripplefin companion. The scroll is full of ancient history on Pelagoria, the Seafey and helps Lina to understand her place in the story. It helps to unlock lore, mysteries and old secrets about the world you explore throughout the game, giving the player and Lina a deeper understanding of the world around them.

The ‘Moonbell Lantern’ is the third relic found along the adventure. The relic itself is needed in their journey as part of the ritual, but also as a guide to find the last relic. The lantern is an ornate object that has been used to guide adventurers for generations, however when the adventurers inevitably don’t return, the lantern does - it returns to an old Seafey who gifts the lantern to Lina and Orin after helping her on a side quest. The lantern acts as a moment of clarity to Lina, it gives her clarity, the light she has found on her adventure so far and hope through her bond with Orin.

The ‘Tidecaller Staff ’ is the last relic to be found along Lina and Orin’s adventure. The staff is the oldest relic of the four, lost to myth and legend, unsure if it even still exists. As well as being the oldest, it’s also the most powerful as it allows the user to channel the waves of hydromagic - being able to stir gentle currents or summon powerful surges. It only responds to those with a deep connection to the sea. With this staff, Lina has the ability to find her way home, as well as finally being strong enough to defeat the dreaded Cragglow that is looming in their path.
