Cursed Mode is the hardest mode in Black Ops 7 and Relics are the reason you keep playing. Relics give permanent boosts that change how you fight and how you move. You cannot get relics until you finish a main quest first. Many players practice routes and timing in a CoD BO7 Bot Lobby before they try the real runs, because practice makes the tough parts feel routine.
First, enable the Relic system. Finish the "Ashes of the Damned" main quest. After the final cutscene a special object appears in the scene. You must interact with that object to turn the Relic tracking on. The game will not award relics until you do this step, so do not skip it and do not expect the rewards if you have not activated the system.
Tier 1 relics are simple tests that teach you the maps and the timing you need for harder runs. The Dragon Wings help with movement and let you cross gaps fast. To claim them you must use the jump pad between the Farm and Janus Towers. While you are in the air, shoot three small glowing targets nearby before the time runs out. The Lawyer’s Pen gives a steady damage or resource benefit. To get it you must light three hidden ceremonial candles in one match. Regular bullets will not trigger them. Use a sustained fire source such as a Molotov or the Napalm Burst field upgrade to light all three in the same run.
After you collect a few Tier 1 relics the game unlocks Tier 2 runs. Tier 2 raises the threat level and gives the best relics, but the tasks are harder. The Blood Vials reward survival and require you to hit Round 20 in Cursed Mode. When you reach that round a phone somewhere on the map starts to ring. Find the phone and interact with it to secure the Vials. The Vril Sphere focuses on killing tough foes. You must hunt and defeat multiple High-Value Targets in a single Cursed Mode campaign. Expect to beat five to seven HVTs depending on how the mode scales with your team and the difficulty.
Farming these relics takes practice and a steady plan. Pick a route that loops well so you can respawn, resupply, and return to key spots. Keep your gear simple and reliable so you do not waste time swapping in the middle of a run. Many players use a CoD BO7 Bot Lobby buy to rehearse the exact steps, practice hitting HVTs, and refine their paths without the chaos of public matches. That practice helps you learn the spawn points, phone locations, and HVT behavior so you can clear runs more cleanly.
Relics reward consistency, not flashy plays. If you need to try a hard objective again, restart a private lobby or a Bot Lobby and repeat the trial until your timing is clean. Treat field attempts as learning runs so you lose less progress and get better each try.
Relics change how you play and they make Tier 3 runs manageable once you learn them. Follow the unlock steps, focus on a few reliable relics first, and use repeatable practice sessions to build muscle memory for the harder tasks.
