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.

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.

Relic 1-B Traps n Gemstones

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.
