If you\u2019re lucky, this \u201cRelic gacha\u201d can land you a Grand Relic, but Japanese Nightreign players have recently <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=\u5c0f\u58fa%E3%80%80\u30d0\u30f3\u30b6\u30a4&amp;src=typed_query\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">started speculating <\/a>about a supposed hidden trick that can raise your odds of a valuable pull. The rumor was further fueled when Twitch streamers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/sasatikk?lang=ja\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sasatikk<\/a> reported the method working for them, so I decided to sacrifice my Murk for science and try to verify the myth for myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u5c0f\u58fa\u5546\u4eba\u306e\u7d75\u304c\u300c\u30d0\u30f3\u30b6\u30a4\u300d\u306e\u3068\u304d\u3001\u5f15\u304d\u6642\u3067\u3059 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aflspGFkuG\">pic.twitter.com\/aflspGFkuG<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u3055\u3055\/Sasatikk (@sasatikk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sasatikk\/status\/1930187604538077651?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 4, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>When the Small Jar Bazaar&#8217;s blackboard shows a &#8220;banzai&#8221; pose, that&#8217;s when you should pull<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-banzai-theory\">What is the \u201cBanzai\u201d theory?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The focal point of the rumor is the small blackboard held by the merchant NPC Small Jar Bazaar. When you interact with Small Jar Bazaar, you can&nbsp;see not only the shop inventory but also a little chalk drawing on the blackboard \u2013 which changes each time you speak to it. According to the theory, when this drawing depicts the Jar with its arms up, i.e., doing a \u201cbanzai,\u201d your odds of pulling a high-tier Relic from Scenic Flatstones increases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"863\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250605-342753-002-1536x863-1.webp\" alt=\"Elden Ring Nightreign Small Jar Bazaar\" class=\"wp-image-48760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250605-342753-002-1536x863-1.webp 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250605-342753-002-1536x863-1-380x214.webp 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250605-342753-002-1536x863-1-768x432.webp 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the first step is to get the banzai drawing to appear. In order to get the drawing to change in the first place, it\u2019s actually not enough to just talk to the merchant repeatedly \u2013 you have to first purchase at least one item from the shop. After you complete the transaction, exiting the conversation will prompt the drawing to change randomly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in an attempt to verify the veracity of this \u201csecret hack,\u201d I first bought 10 Scenic Flatstones without the \u201cbanzai\u201d chalk drawing displayed, and this yielded one Grand Relic. On the other hand, when I pulled another 10 Scenic Flastones with the \u201cbanzai\u201d image on the blackboard, I got two Grand Relics. This would suggest a slight increase in odds, although the sample I\u2019m working with is quite small. I managed to buy another 5 Scenic Flatsones with the banzai chalk drawing displayed after that, but got zero Grand Relics. At that point, I was out of Murk and unable to continue my research.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"863\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250605-342753-003-1536x863-1.webp\" alt=\"Elden Ring Nightreign Relics\" class=\"wp-image-48761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250605-342753-003-1536x863-1.webp 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250605-342753-003-1536x863-1-380x214.webp 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250605-342753-003-1536x863-1-768x432.webp 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It remains unclear whether the drawing actually influences probability, or if it merely represents the Small Jar Bazaar\u2019s joy at having made a sale.
