The Collector's Cache — Absolum Walkthrough

Guide for 'The Collector's Cache' side quest in Absolum, including Ancient Relic locations and rewards.

Quest Giver: Merchant Theron (Sanctuary, after 'The Fallen Architect')

Objective: Find and return 3 'Ancient Relics' for Theron's collection.

Walkthrough: Theron, the Sanctuary's resident merchant, is a connoisseur of ancient artifacts. He'll ask you to retrieve three specific Ancient Relics that he believes hold significant value. These relics are typically found in challenging, optional dungeons or heavily guarded areas:

1. Relic of the Forgotten Blade: Located in the 'Sunken Crypts,' an optional dungeon accessible from the Blighted Mire. This dungeon features water puzzles and 'Blighted Drowners.'
2. Relic of the Arcane Eye: Found in the 'Whispering Tower,' a vertical dungeon in the central district. This tower is filled with Blighted Scholars and requires careful platforming.
3. Relic of the Stone Heart: Deep within the 'Grave of the Ancients,' a challenging dungeon accessible from the Forsaken Outskirts. This area is home to powerful 'Stone Golems' and environmental traps.

Each relic is usually guarded by a mini-boss or a significant group of enemies. Upon returning all three to Theron, he will reward you with a substantial amount of Blight Shards (500) and a choice of a rare weapon or armor piece, tailored to your archetype.
