How to unlock the Relic Hunter achievement in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

The best way to boost this is to go on Wolf Hill of at least Large. I got 81 relics to spawn in the middle that way.

Just make sure to NOT go on Capture the Relic, as that spawns only 1 relic in the entire map

Make sure you start with the default boosting settings:
Infinite Resources
Post Imperial Age as starting Age
Fast gameplay
All Visible
500 max Pop

Turbo on
Full tech tree on / off, no relevance for this achievement

Since you don't want be harassed: treaty of 90 minutes. Or just boost this online

You can collect Relics with monks from the monastery

Build enough monasteries around the middle. I recommend building 10 monks, picking up relics one by 1 and then dumping them in 1 monastery per haul. This is because the maximum capacity for holding relics is also 10. That way you don't have to count or keep track which monastery is full.

The game registers the amount of relics in post-game so make sure to resign or win the game for this to count.

There are also some relics you have to get in the campaign in case you want to reach maximum efficiency.


Good luck with this.

I built 10 monasteries, then created around 50 monks before sending them to pick up a relic each (to ensure the other AI doesn’t steal them) and then highlighted 10 to deliver to the individual monastery.

Bugged. Just did the wolf hill strat 4x after realizing I haven't got this after hundreds of hours of play time. No pop. :(

This will come naturally throughout the game however it can also be boosted. The game registers the collection at the end of the level. Therefore if you play a mission with several relics you have captured make a save right by the end of the game then once you win, just reload the save and win again and it will give you a whole new set of captures.

Both relics in the campaign and historical battles, as well as in multiplayer against AI or living people, count. Only those relics placed in the monastery are taken into account. During the campaign and historical battles you can get an achievement.
Collecting relics is very useful, as they provide a constant flow of gold.
