Relics are the most powerful boost items in Be Dino — stronger than Fossils in every stat category. Getting your first Relic transforms your growth speed, and collecting a full set of Huge Relics makes you one of the fastest-growing players on any server. This guide covers every method to obtain Relics, the fusing system, and how to prioritize your Relic farming for maximum progression.
Relics vs Fossils — Why Relics Matter More
Before diving into farming methods, it is important to understand why Relics are worth pursuing:
| Stat Category | Tier 3 Fossil | Small Relic | Huge Relic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food Radius | Large increase | Moderate increase | Maximum increase |
| XP Bonus | Large bonus | Moderate bonus | Maximum bonus |
| Growth Speed | Large boost | Moderate boost | Maximum boost |
| Overall Impact | Strong | Stronger | Strongest |
The Relic advantage: While a Tier 3 Fossil provides the maximum bonus from the Fossil category, a Small Relic already matches or exceeds Tier 2 Fossil values, and a Huge Relic surpasses everything. This is because Relics occupy separate boost slots from Fossils — their effects STACK rather than replace Fossil bonuses.
Why you need both: Equipping Fossils AND Relics together creates compounding multipliers that neither can achieve alone. The full stacking formula (Fossils + Relics + Ambers + Gamepasses) is how players reach the 38x+ XP multiplier.
All Relic Sources in Be Dino
Relics can be obtained through several methods, each with different availability and drop rates:
| Source | Relic Type | Frequency | Difficulty | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boss Fight Rewards | Small/Huge | Periodic | Extreme | Moderate |
| Legendary Chest Openings | Small | Per opening | Medium (10K Gems) | Low |
| Event Rewards | Small | Event-dependent | Medium | Variable |
| Code Rewards | Tier 1 Fossils (not Relics) | Per update | Very Easy | Guaranteed |
| Fusing | Upgraded Relics | When materials available | Medium | Guaranteed |
The reality: Relics are significantly rarer than Fossils. You will obtain many Fossils before finding your first Relic. This makes every Relic valuable — never discard or ignore a Relic, even a Small one.
Boss Fights — The Best Relic Source
Boss fight victories provide the highest-value Relic drops in Be Dino. The Living Fortress boss can drop both Small and Huge Relics as part of its reward pool.
Boss fight Relic drop expectations:
| Boss Outcome | Relic Drop | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Victory (major contributor) | Small or Huge Relic possible | Uncommon per victory |
| Victory (minor contributor) | Small Relic possible | Rare per victory |
| Victory (group member) | Possible Small Relic | Very rare per victory |
| Defeat/Death | No drops | N/A |
Boss fight Relic tips:
- Contribute maximum damage to increase your reward tier (better Relic drop chance)
- Survive the fight — living players receive better rewards
- Group coordination increases victory chance, which means more Relic opportunities
- Multiple boss fight victories accumulate Relics over time
Chest Openings — Passive Relic Income
Legendary and Epic chest openings occasionally yield Small Relics alongside dinosaur species. While the drop rate is lower than boss fights, the volume of chest openings most players perform means this is a steady Relic source.
Chest Relic drop estimates:
| Chest Type | Relic Drop Rate | Relic Type |
|---|---|---|
| Epic Chest | Very Low | Small Relic (rare) |
| Legendary Chest | Low | Small Relic (possible) |
| Mythic Chest | Low-Medium | Small/Huge Relic (possible) |
Chest opening Relic tip: The 2x Luck gamepass (599 Robux) improves all chest drop rates, including Relic drops. If you plan to open many chests, this gamepass accelerates your Relic collection.
Relic Fusing — Upgrading Your Boosts
Be Dino includes a fusing system that allows you to combine lower-tier boost items into higher-tier ones. This is the most reliable way to obtain Huge Relics.
How fusing works:
- Access the fusing interface (in the Fossil/Relic management menu)
- Select multiple lower-tier items (e.g., several Small Relics or Tier 1-2 Fossils)
- Combine them into a single higher-tier item
- The resulting item has stronger bonuses than any of the input items
Fusing strategy:
- Save duplicate Fossils and Small Relics for fusing
- Do NOT fuse your only copy of a useful boost — keep at least one of each type equipped
- Prioritize fusing toward Growth and XP boosts (most impactful stats)
- A fused Huge Relic in a Growth slot provides the single largest boost acceleration in the game
What to fuse and what to keep:
| Item | Fuse If | Keep If |
|---|---|---|
| Duplicate Fossils | You have 2+ of the same type | It is your only copy of that type |
| Small Relics | You have 3+ Small Relics of the same type | It is your only Relic |
| Tier 1-2 Fossils | You have Tier 3 replacements | They are your best available Fossils |
| Ambers | You have higher-tier Ambers | They are your only Growth Amber |
Relic Priority — Which Stats to Boost First
When you obtain Relics, you need to decide which stat categories to prioritize:
Growth Speed (highest priority): Faster growth means less time vulnerable and more time at competitive size. Growth Relics provide the most tangible gameplay benefit because they directly reduce the time between spawning and being PvP-ready.
XP Multiplier (second priority): Higher XP means faster species-level progression and more efficient event participation. XP Relics compound with Growth Relics for even faster leveling.
Food Radius (third priority): While useful, Food Radius is the least impactful stat for a Relic slot. A Fossil Food Radius bonus is sufficient for most gameplay.
Optimal Relic loadout:
| Slot | Best Relic Type | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Relic Slot 1 | Growth Speed (Huge preferred) | Most impactful stat |
| Relic Slot 2 | XP Multiplier (Huge preferred) | Second most impactful |
| Relic Slot 3 | Food Radius (if extra slots) | Useful but lower priority |
Fossil and Relic Acquisition Methods
Obtaining Fossils and Relics in Be Dino requires understanding the drop mechanics and optimal farming strategies:
Fossil drop rates:
| Fossil Type | Drop Source | Approximate Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Common Fossil | Any food / activity | ~20% |
| Rare Fossil | Boss fights, events | ~5% |
| Epic Fossil | Boss fights, high-level activities | ~2% |
| Legendary Fossil | Boss exclusive drops | ~0.5% |
Relic drop rates:
| Relic Type | Drop Source | Approximate Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Common Relic | Events, quests | ~10% |
| Rare Relic | Boss fights, rare events | ~3% |
| Epic Relic | Boss exclusive | ~1% |
Boost Stacking Optimization by Game Mode
Different game modes benefit from different boost configurations:
| Game Mode | Best Fossil Config | Best Relic Config | Priority Amber |
|---|---|---|---|
| AFK Farming | Food Radius x2 + Growth Speed | Food Radius + Growth | Growth Amber |
| Active Growth | Growth Speed x2 + Food Radius | Growth Speed + XP | Growth Amber |
| KOTH Events | Growth Speed + Defense | XP Multiplier + Growth | XP Amber |
| Boss Fights | Growth Speed + Defense | Defense + Growth | Growth Amber |
| PvP Combat | Growth Speed + XP | XP Multiplier + Defense | XP Amber |

Deep Dive: Relic Fusing Mechanics
Relic fusing is one of the most important progression mechanics in Be Dino. Understanding the fusing system is essential for maximizing your boost stacking potential.
Relic fusing rules:
- Fuse two identical Relics of the same tier to create a higher-tier Relic
- The resulting Relic inherits the category of the input Relics (e.g., two Growth Speed Common Relics → one Growth Speed Rare Relic)
- Fusing success rate decreases with higher tiers
Fusing probability table:
| Input Tier | Output Tier | Success Rate | Fusing Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common + Common | Rare | 100% | None |
| Rare + Rare | Epic | 75% | Small Gem fee |
| Epic + Epic | Legendary | 50% | Moderate Gem fee |
| Legendary + Legendary | Mythic | 25% | Large Gem fee |
Optimal fusing strategy:
- Always fuse Common Relics immediately — 100% success rate
- Fuse Rare Relics when you have duplicates — 75% success is favorable
- Consider waiting for duplicate Epic Relics before fusing — 50% success means a significant chance of losing both Relics
- Never fuse Legendary Relics unless you have multiple copies — 25% success is too risky for unique items
Relic category priority for fusing:
- Growth Speed (most universally useful)
- Food Radius (critical for AFK)
- XP Multiplier (useful for events)
- Defense (only for boss fights and PvP)
FAQ
How do I get Huge Relics in Be Dino? Huge Relics come from boss fight rewards (rare drops) and from fusing multiple Small Relics. They are the most powerful boost items in the game.
Can I fuse Fossils into Relics? The fusing system allows combining boost items into higher-tier versions. Whether Fossils can fuse into Relics depends on the current game mechanics — check the fusing interface for available combinations.
Should I equip Small Relics or wait for Huge Relics? Always equip your best available items — a Small Relic is significantly better than no Relic. You can swap to Huge Relics later when you obtain them. Never leave boost slots empty.
How many Relics can I equip at once? The number of Relic slots depends on the game's current boost system. Equip as many as you have slots available, prioritizing Growth and XP types.
Do Relic bonuses stack with gamepasses? Yes. Relic bonuses, Fossil bonuses, Amber bonuses, and gamepass bonuses all stack together multiplicatively. This is how players achieve the 38x+ XP multiplier.
