In the Darkness 2 there are 29 relics that can be found in the game. They are purple shiny objects surrounded by treasure and coins. They are pretty obvious, the hard part is just finding the path to see them.
If you pause the game during a level in the bottom left it will say how many relics are in your current level. Make sure you pause once you feel the setting has changed to make sure you don’t miss any in a level. Also if you have the pre-order you should level your bonus essence talents and get relic hunter. Then while playing a level also look for a relic symbol and follow it to the relic. Relics give 300+ to essence to making it worth finding.
NOTE: These aren’t all in order I missed a few along the way I will try my best to update as many relics as I can. For now I will number what I found so you know how many I at least know of.

The Darkness 2 Relic Guide 3 – The third relic is a little off the set path so be sure to grab it before you get to far. This is a short level, there is no combat.

The Darkness 2 Relic Guide 13 – Find this relic by going all the way down the long path where you fight a Brotherhood riot shield guy, and one who is using a chain that steals your guns. Walk all the way down and go to your left behind the graveyard building. The relic should be behind it.

Once they all die two doors open, the one for the main path and the door to the relic.
