Where to find all relics (sword hilts) in God of War: Ragnarok

In God of War: Ragnarok, you can find 14 relics, also called sword hilts. If you find them all, you will receive the Collector trophy. In this guide, we will tell you where they are.


Attention! The guide may contain spoilers!

If you missed one of the relics during 100% completion of the game, refer to the list below. You'll need Lost Pages to craft some of them at the blacksmith, as well as unique materials that drop from certain enemies. Relics and hilts are the same thing, it's just that the game calls them differently.


None of the relics can be missed, you can get them all after completing the story in free movement around the game world. If you didn't pick up an item dropped from an enemy, it will automatically be placed in a blue chest at the blacksmith. You can pick it up from there at any time.


You have the right to check which of the relics have been found. To do this, open the menu section "Weapons" - "Relics" (Weapons - Relics). Use the handles in combat by pressing the keyboard shortcut "L1 + circle". Relics and sword hilts in God Of War: Ragnarok are special moves that Kratos will have to use against hordes of enemies. Each one is very powerful and unique to use, but they do have a cooldown. Only one relic can be equipped at a time. In this guide, they are listed in the same order as they appear in the in-game menu so you can easily compare them to your list.


To learn about unique materials for crafting, open the section "Code" - "Resources" - "Unique Resources" (Codex - Resources - Unique Resources). Remember that you will also need the Lost Pages collectibles to craft, otherwise, the relics will not appear for crafting at the blacksmith.
