The Relic First Guardian Pre-Order Bonus Pack
Everything inside The Night of the Unextinguished Flame — gear, Sealstone, and Sanctuary dungeon.
On July 12, 2026, publisher Perp Games detailed the free pre-order bonus for The Relic: First Guardian: The Night of the Unextinguished Flame. If you are deciding whether to pre-order on PlayStation 5, Steam, or another storefront before the July 31, 2026 launch, this page lists every publicly confirmed piece — and explains how those rewards fit a game built on unique gear and Relic memories rather than disposable loot.
This is not a promo-code list. The pack is an entitlement DLC described on official storefronts. For typed codes (when they exist), use the codes page. For platform dates, see the release date guide.
What the pack includes
According to PlayStation Store and Perp Games materials, pre-ordering unlocks:
| Reward | Name | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Event / dungeon | Sanctuary of the Forgotten Light | Exclusive pre-order dungeon |
| Unique Relic (Sealstone) | Sealstone of the Undying Ember | Passive Relic / Sealstone memory |
| Exclusive armor | Armor of the Unextinguished Vigil | Unique armor set |
| Exclusive weapons | Unextinguished Vigil (Sword & Shield) | Unique Sword and Shield pair |
Store copy frames each item as a story fragment, matching the game’s rule that every weapon and armor piece exists once in Arsiltus. You are not getting a generic starter kit — you are inheriting Hervan’s vigil through mist and night winds.
Sealstone of the Undying Ember
The Sealstone is described as a faint light that endured inside cold mist — mocked as a pitiful ember, yet a final warmth for souls who lost their way. In systems language, it is a unique Relic (also called a Sealstone / rune in store text) you can inject into the same progression fantasy explained in Relics and builds.
Treat it as a thematic package, not an automatic win condition. Pair it with a coherent skill-tree plan and the weapon family you actually intend to main. If you are Sword and Shield-curious, the accompanying Unextinguished Vigil set may reinforce an early parry classroom — see the weapons tier list and combat guide.
Armor of the Unextinguished Vigil
The armor is framed as the worn kit of an old sentinel weathered by mist. Nobody remembers the bearer, but the light that refused to fade guided survivors. Practically, expect a unique armor identity you will not farm again. Because The Relic: First Guardian rejects duplicate loot tables, pre-order armor is a narrative + mechanical commitment, not a temporary leveling shell.
Unextinguished Vigil (Sword & Shield)
The sword and shield are tied to Hervan, who refused to release them on the night the mist was thickest. He was neither a legendary knight nor a destined hero — yet his lantern never ceased. That emotional theme aligns with Project Cloud Games’ weapon design: families carry feelings as much as DPS brackets.
If you already planned to learn parry → Groggy loops on Sword and Shield, this set is a natural day-one companion. If you intend Dagger or Battle Staff from minute one, still claim the pack — unique gear can remain a story collectible even when it is not your main.
Sanctuary of the Forgotten Light
The exclusive dungeon is the other half of the bonus. Previews and store text position it as early exclusive content rather than a late-game raid. Use it as a controlled environment to practice stamina-for-defense rules, Breath of Esser healing, and Tibelle’s Blessing rests before you push into denser Brutal routes. Pair dungeon runs with the getting started guide and world map tips.
Which platforms get the bonus?
Perp Games’ July 12 post highlighted the PlayStation 5 pre-order path. Steam and other storefronts advertise the same Night of the Unextinguished Flame pack in pre-order copy. Always verify the current store page for your region — bonuses can differ by platform, SKU, or cut-off date. Our official links hub points to Steam and publisher channels.
Physical PS5 discs arrive September 4, 2026. Disc editions may or may not include the same digital pre-order entitlement — check retailer and Perp Games notes before assuming parity.
Pre-order vs waiting for reviews
The mechanical argument for waiting remains valid: the game already moved from a May 26, 2026 target to July 31, Xbox and Switch 2 days are still open, and launch-week patches are common. The bonus pack is flavorful, but it should not force a blind buy if you prefer day-two clarity. See the preview review hub and launch news timeline for context.
How the bonus interacts with wiki guides
- Claim the pack, then still follow Getting Started so you do not skip healing and checkpoint habits
- Use Sword and Shield extras as a reason to study Combat and Parry
- Socket the Sealstone with intent using Relics and builds
- After the Sanctuary, return to open Arsiltus using the world guide

Pre-order if the vigil theme speaks to you — then spend the remaining days mastering defense-only stamina so the Sanctuary feels like a promise kept, not a panic room.
