How To Pick Up Relics In Age of Mythology Retold

Relics are powerful artifacts in Age of Mythology Retold that provide significant bonuses to your civilization. Learning how to locate, collect, and store relics is essential for gaining an advantage in gameplay. This tutorial will walk you through the complete process of relic management, from recruitment to storage.

Step 1: Recruit a Hero Unit

The first requirement for collecting relics is recruiting a hero unit. Only heroes can pick up and carry relics across the map. In this example, we’ll recruit Ajax, though any hero unit will work for this purpose.

Step 2: Locate Relics on the Map

Once you have your hero recruited, you need to find relics scattered across the map. You can identify relic locations by looking at your minimap—relics appear as small icons distinct from settlement markers. Pay close attention to both the main game view and your minimap to spot available relics in your area.

Step 3: Pick Up the Relic with Your Hero

To collect a relic, simply right-click on it with your hero unit. Your hero will automatically pick up the relic and begin carrying it. Different relics provide different bonuses—for example, the Pygmalion Statue increases villager hit points by 40%. Once your hero is holding the relic, you’ll see it in their possession.

Step 4: Transport the Relic to Your Temple

After collecting the relic, guide your hero back to your temple. You can do this by right-clicking on your temple as the destination. Your hero will travel to the temple while carrying the relic.

Step 5: Deposit the Relic in Your Temple

When your hero reaches the temple, the relic will automatically be deposited into storage. You’ll notice a flag appears above the temple, indicating that relics are stored there. You can store multiple relics in the same building, and you can view all stored relics by checking your temple’s information panel.

Summary

Collecting and storing relics in Age of Mythology Retold is a straightforward process: recruit a hero, locate relics on the map using your minimap, right-click to pick them up with your hero, transport them to your temple, and deposit them for storage. By mastering this mechanic, you can accumulate valuable bonuses like the Pygmalion Statue’s villager hit point increase, giving you a competitive edge in your games.
