Traps n Gemstones - Complete relic guide for all 25 treasure chests (Part 1)

This article covers the first 15 relics - from 1-A to 3-E. For the last 10, click here.

Your main task in Traps n' Gemstones is to find 25 different relics, which are hidden throughout the pyramid. And then, you must return them to their original resting place.

In this guide, we'll show you where to find each relic, how to get to the treasure chest, and where to place it down.

If you don't have access to a certain room, you may need to refer to our main guide. And you'll need a key for each chest, so take a look at our exhaustive key guide, too.

To make life easier, I've given all 25 relics a unique identifier. You can see them in the grid, below:



And as a quick reference guide, or a spoiler-free help guide, here's the location of each relic on the map. For more details, refer to the guides below.



Relic 1-A




Getting to this treasure chest means avoiding a nasty pirhanna fish. Dive in the water and stay underneath the fish. Then, when it goes left, quickly dart up and swim through the narrow gap and jump up to open the treasure chest.



This is the final home of relic 1-A.

Relic 1-B




You'll get to this relic by following our main quest guide and getting to the room we've marked with an "A" on the map above.

Smash the pot at the bottom of the screen to get some bullets. Use them, and your gun, to kill the snake and make the trap door open. Drop down into the next room.

Shoot the scorpion with your gun to kill it (or whip it three times), which causes the door on the left to open up. Go through it and get to the room in the screenshot above. Whip the purple mummies and spiders to get to the treasure chest.



This is the final home of relic 1-B.

Relic 1-C




This relic is inside this handy tutorial room. Just follow the Egyptian chap's instructions to get it.



This is the final home of relic 1-C.

Relic 1-D




In this room (follow our main guide to find out how to get here), simply take the elevator platform up to get to the relic treasure chest.



This is the final home of relic 1-D.

Relic 1-E




Put relic 3-C in its resting place to make a staircase to this treasure chest. Bust it open to get this relic



This is the final home of relic 1-E.

Relic 2-A




This one is very easy to get to, once you have access to this part of the elevator shaft. Just jump up and open the chest to get the relic.



This is the final home of relic 2-A.

Relic 2-B




Smash through the first three rocks in this room, and then jump from the central rock to the platform near the chest. Then smash through the block underneath the pot to get to the relic.



This is the final home of relic 2-B.

Relic 2-C




Push the lever on the left to make the elevator come down. Then hit the crate with your whip a couple times to get it onto the elevator. Hit the lever and quickly hop on the lift as it rises back up. Now jump on the crate to get to the chest.



This is the final home of relic 2-C.

Relic 2-D




You'll get to unlock this room when you return relic 5-D to its rightful home. Then, you'll need to jump between the spinning fire walls to get to the relic.



This is the final home of relic 2-D.

Relic 2-E




In this room, start by smashing down the rocks. Then grab the blue potion and use the steps on the right side to jump up and access the treasure chest.



This is the final home of relic 2-E.

Relic 3-A




To get to this relic, follow the instructions for secret symbols 30, 31, and 32. When you're stood at the point of 32, go right and hit the switch to open the gate. Then swim around and walk through the gate to get to this room.



This is the final home of relic 3-A.

Relic 3-B




In this room, push against the wall to the left and it will dissapear (as shown in the screen, above). Now you can use the moving blocks to climb up and get to the treasure chest. Inside, is the lost relic.



This is the final home of relic 3-B.

Relic 3-C




This one is very easy to get to, provided that you've already found relic 3-B and put it in its final resting place. Just avoid the purple mummies and open the chest to get the relic.



This is the final home of relic 3-C.

Relic 3-D




This relic is easy to get to. Follow our main guide to get to this room, and break your way through the room using your rock hammer. Then open the chest with a key to get the relic.

Relic 3-E




To get to this relic, you first need to find relic 3-D and put it in its resting place. This will reveal a secret passage which drops you right outside the room shown in the screenshot above. Once you're in here, jump over the rats to get to the chest.



This is the final home of relic 3-E.
