Useless Relic Guide

Recommended Posts

Below is a step by step guide to finding all of the Useless Relics. Useless Relics can be identified in levels due to their blocks having an empty middle - like an empty box. You will notice all the rest have their middles "filled in". I have made reference to signposts in some descriptions, so please take the time to read them, each signpost referenced is along the main route of the level in plain sight.

 

Grassland

 

1) Right at the start of the level, before the first signpost. You don’t even have to move, the Useless Relic is in plain sight.

 

2) At the location of the first checkpoint, there will be some clouds above you, among the clouds are two signposts, the second being at the far right end of the clouds. The Useless Relic is right next to the second signpost.

 

3) After reading the signpost that states "Leap of faith" and using the spring to perform said "Leap of faith" you will land on a long walkway consisting of many collapsing blocks, run along a ways and keep an eye out for the Useless Relic towards the end of the walkway.

 

Caves

 

1) After the first checkpoint, and just past the location I have made reference to in the trophy guide for achieving the "Roaring Master" trophy, you will come to two patrolling "helmet ducks". One will be guarding a ladder, progress up the ladder and walk right. Now zoom to the right, the Useless Relic is located amongst the blocks of the thick wall.

 

2) After hopping over multiple spikes, you will come to a section where you need to use multiple springs to progress up a series of cloud platforms. Hop up 5 springs and stop on the 6th ledge. The Useless Relic is just below to the left.

 

3) Shortly after the second Useless Relic, you will progress down a series chambers and ladders, and eventually reach two signposts with multiple breakable blocks between them. Walk past the second signpost that reads "Knowing your HEART is the way to freedom", now zoom to the right.

 

Big Tree

 

1) You will come to a signpost that says "By the way you have infinite lives in this game…Who said cats only have 9 lives…Pff…", use the clouds to reach the platform with the spiky chestnut, and run back to the left. The Useless Relic is in the air above the clouds.

 

2) Shortly after the first Useless Relic, you will come to a section where there is two small clouds you have to jump on before a spring. Below these clouds are some breakable blocks, drop through the small gap next to these blocks and you will see the Useless Relic to your right.

 

3) Immediately after the second Useless Relic, you will use the spring to jump up to a ladder. Use the two birds to progress to the right of your screen and you will see the Useless Relic in the air, on the right.

 

Sky

 

1) Right at the start of the level, drop through the two breakable blocks and use the spring below, to gain access to the ladder above. Jump out, over and onto the ledge above the ladder. The Useless Relic is on the far left past the signpost.

 

2) After the first checkpoint, you will come to a signpost that reads "When in trouble, just purr and look cute", head up the nearby ladder and use the small cloud above to take you back left. You will come to a large pool of water. You must jump to the block immediately next to the pool, land on it and stop. Now take a hit from the water, which will force the game to transport you back to your last position (perched on top of the block), hold left to run along the water as your character is regaining his health (flashing) and jump for the block at the other end of the pool, after jump to the ledge on the left. At the far left of the ledge is the Useless Relic.

 

3) You will come to a long ice ledge with 3 pig enemies, as you slide to the left along the ice to progress through the narrow gap, the Useless Relic will be just before the drop (the corner block).

 

Space

 

1) After the first checkpoint you will come to a signpost that reads "Power Plant". A section follows where you climb upwards, using 4 ladders, reaching numerous ladders (about 20) joined together. On the right hand side there will be an enemy shooting at you (you cannot kill him). Above his chamber is the Useless Relic.

 

2) When you reach the signpost "(Are you afraid of the dark)", count 41 floor blocks to the right, the Useless Relic will be above you, jump to bring it into the light.

 

3) You will come to a section where you have to navigate through a maze like structure in the dark, with numerous ladders and spikes. Progress through the section until you reach two water pools separated by two ladders, beneath there will be two cows. Stay on these ladders and head left as far as possible. The Useless Relic is in the left wall.

 

City

 

1) Near the start of the level you will come to some ice floor blocks, ones you must use to slide under some sets of spikes. The Useless Relic is located in the wall above the second set of spikes.

 

2) After the signpost that reads "Curiosity killed the cat", you will need to jump across a series of platforms. When you reach the third large platform, drop down and hug the right hand edge, you will land on a platform with a spring, and the Useless Relic will be to your left underneath the platform.

 

3) Right at the very end of the level, the Useless Relic is in the floor beneath your cat friends. Ensure you get the Useless Relic before approaching them, as you could possibly end the level before getting the last Relic.

Thanks for the guide!!!

 

On Sky 2, why not wait until that water is frozen (after using the sno-matic)? Much easier.

 

No problem, glad you found it useful :)

 

& with regards to your water point.... it was that long I can't really remember. Maybe it was because it would mean having to backtrack through the level?
