Earn while you learn by collecting Ghostwire: Tokyo’s one-off relic items
Where can I find relics in Ghostwire: Tokyo?Ghostwire: Tokyofeatures a grand total of 120 one-off collectables — known in-game as relics — that you can pick up as you explore the open world recreation of the titular city’s Shibuya district. Some of them are in reasonably obvious places, while others are a little further off the beaten track; but either way, collecting them is a good way to bolster the contents of your in-game wallet.
With Ghostwire’s recent arrival on Game Pass, there’s more reason than ever to go relic hunting! On this page, we’ve listed all of the relics in Ghostwire: Tokyo, alongside their locations, value in Meika, and details of which Nekomata vender will pay you to retrieve them!
What are relics used for in Ghostwire: Tokyo?
As well as providing cool asides and snippets of Japanese folklore for you to read in your database, relics serve a practical purpose in Ghostwire: Tokyo. Certain Nekomata vendors who you meet around the streets of Tokyo have a type of relic that they’re eager to buy in exchange for Meika (the netherworld equivalent of cash). Talking to each Nekomata will bring up a list requests, letting you know what relics to be on the lookout for, and gives you a few vague hints about where to find them. Most relics are worth at least a few thousand Meika and many can net you tens of thousands in one go, so it’s well worth keeping an eye out!
The mild complication to this system is that Nekomata will only buy relics that match their particular interest. The first one you’ll encounter, for example, likes traditional Japanese handicrafts such as daruma dolls and festival masks; others like categories such as golden objects, nostalgic collectables of the mid-20th century, or works of art. This can mean a bit of backtracking to return an item to the Nekomata who wanted it; luckily, you can use cleansed Torii Gates to fast travel.
In exchange for their desired items, Nekomata will give you a reasonably generous payout in Meika, the currency used by Nekomata vendors throughout the city. This can feel a little underwhelming a swap for your cool-one off collectables; luckily, you still get to keep the database entries for all your relics after you sell them, which is your only way of admiring them after you pick them up anyway.
Furthermore, specialist Nekomata have some powerful and rare objects for sale, so it’s definitely worth doing business with them; they just don’t require you to fulfil requests and trade relics before opening up shop like you might expect. You also get bonus rewards for every few requests you fulfil for a particular Nekomata, such as cosmetic items or extra katashiro (a crucial spirit-gathering resource for the titular ghostwire).
Below are the locations of all relics in Ghostwire: Tokyo. Worth noting is that, in line with Ghostwire’s often idiosyncratic map annotation system, you’ll receive a marker for the original location of every relic you’ve picked up. I’m not totally sure what good that does, but it’s something to know about!
For an extra hint: you might notice a cattish sound piping up now and then as you explore the deserted streets of Tokyo. This means one of a few different things: either that there’s a relic nearby for you to pick up; a Nekomata vendor in the vicinity; or a floating golden Maneki Neko statue. (Use Akito’s force punch to destroy the latter for a large pick-up of Meika.) In any case, if you hear an echoing and slightly spooky meow accompanied by a chime, it’s worth using spirit vision and exploring the vicinity for high-value relics and items.
