Elden Ring Nightreign: Cracking the “Obtained Vessels” Trophy – A Simple Guide to a Cryptic Achievement
Elden Ring Nightreign, true to FromSoftware form, is a tough and often cryptic experience, filled with secrets and obscure mechanics that can leave even seasoned players scratching their heads. Many of its details are easy to miss, and even some of its trophies and achievements, like the one tasking you to “acquire a great many vessels,” can seem baffling at first glance.
But fear not, Tarnished! While the description for the “Obtained Vessels” trophy/achievement might sound vague, unlocking it is surprisingly straightforward. It primarily involves diligent gameplay, saving up that precious Murk (Nightreign’s currency), and making a few key purchases.
What Exactly ARE These “Vessels” You Need to Obtain?
If you’ve frequented the Small Jar Bazaar in the Roundtable Hold during your perilous adventures (and let’s be honest, you probably have), you’ve likely noticed items called goblets. These aren’t just fancy trinkets; they allow you to change the color of your relic slots for each character, offering a layer of visual customization.
These goblets are considered “vessels.” Additionally, as you progress and clear more expeditions, the Small Jar Bazaar’s inventory will expand to include three large grails. Each of these impressive grails provides three relic slots of the same color and can be used by any character, further enhancing your build flexibility.

How to Snag the “Obtained Vessels” Trophy/Achievement
The path to unlocking “Obtained Vessels” is simpler than many of Nightreign’s other challenges:
-
Visit the Small Jar Bazaar: This merchant hub in the Roundtable Hold is your one-stop shop.
-
Purchase Character Goblets: Each playable character in Elden Ring Nightreign has their default goblet already unlocked. You’ll need to purchase the one additional, unique goblet available for every character from the Small Jar Bazaar.
-
Buy the Large Grails: Once they become available after clearing enough expeditions, purchase all three distinct large grails from the same vendor.
Once you’ve bought every character-specific goblet and all three large grails, the “Obtained Vessels” trophy or achievement will pop, and you’ll also have a much wider array of customization options for your characters’ relic loadouts.
This allows you to fine-tune your setup to better suit your playstyle or prepare for specific encounters. Remember to frequently check your inventory and equip any new, powerful relics you find to improve your chances in future Nightreign runs.
So, while Elden Ring Nightreign will undoubtedly test your mettle in many other ways, collecting all the vessels is a manageable goal that rewards you with both an achievement and enhanced gameplay options. You’ve got this!
Elden Ring Nightreign is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PCs.
