How to unlock the True Shovelry achievement in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove - Definitive Guide
In order to obtain this you'll need to beat the entire game without collecting or purchasing a single relic. This list of relics are below:
Flame wand
Phase locket
dust knuckles
throwing anchor
alchemy coin
mobile gear
war horn
propeller dagger
fishing rod
chaos sphere
troupple chalice
troupple chalice
yes you read that right. chalice's are also considered relics. However, that doesn't mean you can't upgrade your health bars all the way or upgrade the shovel and your armour. definitely do that to give yourself a much easier time in the later levels and for the final boss.

Can you get this through completion of your new game plus?
If you have already purchased all the relics on your first run then there aren't any to collect on your second run so in theory this should work?

Your inventory has to be cleared, i can confirm.

Missable
This has to be done on a New Game, not a New Game +, for the trophy to unlock. Even if you don't acquire any Relics in your run through New Game +, as long as you have at least 1 in your inventory, it will negate the trophy.
Meal Tickets, Armor, and Shovel Skills are ok, and will not negate the trophy. (Magic upgrades would be fine too, but without Relics there is no need for them.)
For an example of how you can make it through the game without Relics, I have a series of videos on my Youtube channel, HERE, where I paired True Shovelry with Hurry Up! in a single run.
