The lost relics of Ostegoth's race have different rarities. Ostegoth will pay well for these lost relics of his civilization. — Ingame description

”

Lost Relics is a side quest featured in Darksiders II. It is given by the merchant Ostegoth when you encounter him at the Tree of Death. This quest will task Death with obtaining the Relics of Ostegoth's long extinct race. They are found thoughout the realms and are acquired by walking through them or using Death Grip on them. Often they are hidden in parts of the maps that are easily missed for those that only focus on the main quests.

There are three varieties of Relics:

• 15 Relics of Etu-Goth (A common relic of the house of Etu-Goth. A noble family with strong ties to magic.)
• 10 Relics of Renagoth (A rare relic of the Renagoth house. Known for their fearsome combat abilities and courage under pressure.)
• 5 Relics of Khagoth (An extremely rare Relic, each held by one of the high Warlords of the Khagoth dynasty.)
