Family's Grace is a defensive Relic included among the Midnight Edition bonus items. With it equipped, an incoming damaging attack is blocked and nearby enemies are frozen. Its listed cooldown is 60 seconds. The pendant is bonus content rather than a collectible with a hidden room location.
Do not confuse the cooldown with the freeze duration. The available effect description does not establish how long enemies remain frozen, the exact area, or how every boss responds.
Identify the pendant
Family's Grace is a locket depicting Rose's parents. Its appearance connects the item to her family, but the gameplay reason to equip it is the defensive trigger.
Identify the pendant before checking its equipment effect.
Use the name in the Relic inventory to confirm the item. A costume associated with Trevor or Sypha is a separate bonus and does not equip the locket automatically.
Get access through the bonus content
The Midnight Edition includes Family's Grace alongside the Trevor Style Costume, Sypha Style Costume, and the Digital Sound & Art Gallery. The Alucard Style Costume belongs to a separate early-purchase or preorder offer.
The locket is one of the listed in-game Midnight Edition bonuses.
Check the content associated with the edition you own before searching the map for the pendant. The available acquisition description identifies it as bonus content added to the Relic collection when that content is installed. It does not name an enemy drop, chest, or quest reward.
A standalone purchase path and platform-specific entitlement troubleshooting are not confirmed here. Do not assume a particular DLC label is the same in every storefront.
Equip it before expecting the effect
- Open the equipment menu and inspect your Relics.
- Select Family's Grace in a Relic slot.
- Keep it equipped for the incoming-damage trigger to apply.
- Allow for the listed 60-second cooldown between activations.
Simply owning the bonus is different from equipping it. If it appears in the inventory but does nothing during combat, first check the equipped Relics and whether the effect recently triggered.
What the defensive effect does
| Part of the effect | Confirmed description |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Rose would take damage while the locket is equipped |
| Immediate protection | The attack is blocked |
| Nearby enemies | They are frozen |
| Cooldown | 60 seconds |
| Freeze duration | Not established here |
| Exact radius and boss exceptions | Not established here |
The effect can provide breathing room when you make a mistake, but it is not permanent damage immunity. Keep using your normal movement and defensive tools while the cooldown runs.
Avoid building a strategy around an assumed boss freeze or an unverified interaction with another Relic. Its documented value is the blocked attack and nearby freeze, with a substantial gap before the next activation.
Separate acquisition from completion
There is no confirmed world location to visit for Family's Grace. It also should not be treated as mandatory for a completion route merely because it appears in the Relic inventory. Whether a particular completion counter requires edition bonuses is not established here.
If your goal is ordinary exploration or a first boss clear, treat the locket as an available defensive option when you own it. It does not replace learning the route, and the bonus description alone does not show that buying a different edition is necessary to finish the game.
