Cruz ansada (Present relic) — “La búsqueda de la llave”: on the ground next to a corpse and an ashy-colored tree branch, in the middle of an area where other characters loot bodies; it’s near the staircase used to cross to the other side of the ruins.

Chapter 2: Malhechores — 2 artifacts

Estandarte de la Serenísima (Present relic) — “El carnaval”: after following cloth pieces toward the church and after guards spot you, continue forward to a street where fireworks are visible in the distance. Go straight to two statues by the canal stairs, then turn right before crossing the canal; the relic lies on the ground in the corner.
Máscara de bombasí (Present relic) — “El carnaval”: after Leni guides you through a shortcut, once you reach the plaza in front of the church, turn right from where you arrive and look in the corner behind a food stall; the relic is on the ground.

Chapter 3: Huellas del pasado — 6 artifacts (1 present, 5 past)

Caracola (Present relic) — “Paraíso”: at the beach at the start of the chapter, right of a closed door; find a mountain-wall opening beside a tree, climb through it, and pick up the relic inside the tunnel.
Ónice de juego (Past relic) — “Paraíso”: after crossing a tunnel in the cliffside beach area, enter a forest-like zone. Right after arriving, look for a tree branch on the ground next to a small cave entrance; the relic is at the back surrounded by crabs.
Copa de oro (Past relic) — “Paraíso”: follow the direction of a stone tablet into the woods. When you encounter a fox on your route, keep going toward columns a bit higher—but instead of taking the route to them, take the opposite path that slopes down toward a wall. At the end, in the shadows on the ground, lies the relic.
Placa de héroe (Past relic) — “Paraíso”: when you reach the ruins of the village, search the lower part near the edge of the terrain for what looks like the base of a tiny old stone house. Between stones, the relic sits on the ground.
Juego de estrategia (Past relic) — “Vestigios”: once you reach a large statue, face it and take the stairs on its right side. Climb to the highest upper floor of that building. There you’ll find a stone plaque you can move to reveal the hidden relic.
Rey minoico (Past relic) — “La aldea de los héroes”: shortly after separating temporarily from Leni, enter a courtyard with a mural showing warriors facing the sun. Go behind the mural on the right to find the relic in the back hallway on the ground.

Ritón de cuerno (Past relic) — “Puzles y trampas”: after moving through a spiked trap hallway, enter a large room with a lens and many more spikes on the lower floor. As soon as you enter, turn left and walk to the end of the upper-floor passage to find the relic.

Infierno de Dante, canto XII (Present relic) — “Campo de batalla”: when you reach the stairs leading up to the central temple door, go left first down a path into a camp with enemies. After clearing them out, search behind one of the camp tents.
Amuleto de escarabajo (Past relic) — “Los cuatro símbolos”: after opening the central temple doors, take the route from the door with a dice-symbol above it. Continue until you reach the spiked trap maze. The relic is on a left-side ledge, but to reach it you must leap between platforms in the specific order shown: points, right squid, up points, left flower, up squid, up points, left squid.
Sello de condottiero (Present relic) — “Los cuatro símbolos”: after opening the central temple doors, take the door with a circle-and-three-slashes symbol above it.

Hoja ceremonial (Past relic) — “Los cuatro símbolos”: after opening the central temple doors, take the door with a symbol shaped like a circle and a rectangle. Cross the broken bridge, turn left, drop to a lower area, and jump over the river to check the base of a tree; the relic is on the ground.

Chapter 6: Lo que yace en lo profundo — 2 artifacts (both past)

Reina minoica (Past relic) — “Falsas esperanzas”: early in the chapter, move forward past a large watermill. After passing beneath a gear, go straight and climb onto a ledge. Turn right on the ledge to find the relic in a dead-end path.
Mosaico de corrupción (Past relic) — “El arquitecto”: in the model-room of the maze, there’s a narrow side passage (to the right as you go down the stairs). Follow it to the back where the relic lies on the ground in a dark nook.

Ónice de muerte (Past relic) — “El puńetero ejército al completo”: shortly after fighting the chapter’s first enemies in a camp, go through a ruined building to a street with a scorched field on the right filled with stacks of pillars. At the corner of that field, you can crouch under a stone, then jump a wall to reach a back garden where the relic sits near fencing.
Mosaico manchado (Past relic) — “Entre polvo y huesos”: upon reaching the entrance of the black temple, go to the right of the columns. At the corner of the facade, there’s a small narrow path you can squeeze through. Walk a little and the relic is on the ground.

Infierno de Dante, canto V (Present relic) — “Sin respiro”: while fleeing the creature and following the path of lights toward the palace, you enter a cave to hide. You’ll soon find multiple petrified bodies next to a torch on the ground. Skip past the bodies and turn immediately right into a narrow passage; at the end, the relic lies by a corpse.
Anillo de fosfato (Past relic) — “Perseguida”: after leaving the cave, keep following the lights toward the palace. When you come face-to-face with the creature, advance through the area avoiding it until you reach an outcropping beneath a lit light source. Then crouch through the opening directly ahead (not the right-side opening) to reveal a cliff where the relic is lying on the ground.
Espejo de bronce (Past relic) — “Ecos del pasado”: inside Minos’s palace, progress until you descend into a room where you break a brazier to turn on the light.

Mecanismo imposible (Past relic) — “El taller de Dédalo”: after entering Dédalo’s workshop, go forward through the only available route until you can cross your first bridge on the right. Head into the section with tables and objects, then look in a corner for the relic on the ground.

Ábaco antiguo (Past relic) — “Atrapados en la fábrica”: after descending in an elevator, realign the lens for the first time and fight the chapter’s first enemies. After descending a slope, reach a wooden scaffold with a hand ladder. Instead of going down, jump from the scaffold edge to the other side of the petrified wall to find the relic.
Mosaico quemado (Past relic) — “La última lente”: after realigning the last lens at the bottom of the factory, descend with the arpeo into an earlier area and fight multiple petrified enemies. When done, stand under a moving light and aim the concentrated light at a side cluster of petrified shards to break them, revealing the relic inside the cleared gap.
Pata de comadreja (Present relic) — “Las minas”: once the objective begins to find a path through the mines, you quickly reach an old band camp between tunnels. Before moving on, search for the relic on the ground beside the hammocks (left side when you enter).

Mosaico en blanco (Past relic) — “Solo unos pasos más”: when you arrive at the third trial and reach the passage leading to the maze (where the floor is broken into pieces), use the arpeo to balance and avoid falling. From there, jump onto the cracked ground on your right to pick up the relic on the floor.

Chapter 13: Al unísono — 2 artifacts (1 present, 1 past)

Plano del laberinto (Past relic) — “El laberinto”: while progressing through the maze and dodging the creature, you’ll reach a point around the middle where you must reach an ignited light brazier just before a door you open by stepping on a pressure plate. Once you’re safe in the brazier area, look to the side for the relic behind a petrified rock, down a short set of stairs.
Jeringa envenenada (Present relic) — “Una última prueba”: after opening the door with the light beam from a brazier, move through a breach into a hallway. As soon as you cross the breach, turn left and squeeze through the side path into a gap where the relic sits on the ground surrounded by petrified splinters.
