Will taking a boss swap relic disqualify you for the 'Who Needs Relics' achievement?

I want to pursue this one but say I take the Black Blood for the Ironclad, replacing the Burning Blood, does it mean I can no longer get the achievement? Technically it's still one relic, but I don't know if the game sees it that way. Thanks <3

Pretty sure it should still work. If I remember it only counts the number of relics at the end of your run. I did mine by swapping starting till I got cursed key on chad

Thank you!

I vaguely remember swapping into Black Blood at the Act 1 or Act 2 boss chest, but did not get the achievement. It's been a while, so I could be remembering wrong.

That's not a "boss swap", though. But I played it safe and just stuck with IC's starting relic.
