The item names below are retailer/community-reported — official material confirms the pack contains a unique Relic, exclusive armor and weapons, and a new dungeon, without itemizing them:
| Item (reported) | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Sanctuary of the Forgotten Light | Bonus Dungeon | A brutal bonus dungeon with unique encounters |
| Sealstone of the Undying Ember | Unique Relic (Sealstone) | Exclusive relic providing a unique passive effect |
| Armor of the Unextinguished Vigil | Armor Set | Exclusive armor set |
| Unextinguished Vigil | Weapon Set | Exclusive sword and shield set |
| The Night of the Unextinguished Flame | Event | Bonus in-game event |
How to Claim
Digital pre-orders (PS5/Steam): The bonus is applied automatically — there is no separate code or manual claim step. The items should appear in your inventory upon starting the game. If your bonus is missing:| Platform | Action |
|---|---|
| Steam | Right-click the game → Properties → DLC → ensure the bonus pack is checked. If missing, verify game files or contact Steam Support |
| PS5 | Highlight the game → Options → Manage Game Content → ensure the bonus is installed. Try restoring licenses (Settings → Users and Accounts → Other → Restore Licenses) |
| Both | Ensure you purchased a pre-order copy, not a post-launch purchase. Post-launch purchases (after July 31, 2026) do not include the bonus |
