Nimp Relics can be found across the world, with them usually being a reward for exploring the various environments in the game. You'll often find them in hidden chests, behind locked doors, in secret areas, at the end of dungeons, and much more. Sometimes they can also be gained as a reward for completing a quest or side objective, so there are a wealth of ways you can earn them and gain power. It's also worth noting that when you switch episodes, the previous character will keep any unused Nimp Relics in their inventory, so you can go and grab them too by getting them to join your party, or by killing them and looting their body.

That's our breakdown of the Weird West Nimp Relics, and now you know what purpose they serve, along with where you can obtain them in-game.
