Hell is Us includes 29 Relics that are required to be collected for the trophies/achievements Curator & Antiquarian.
Relics are equippable items that provide either a passive bonus or active skill like Glyphs. A handful are received automatically during the story, but otherwise they are given as rewards for completing Good Deeds, closing Timeloops, found in the Vaults of Forbidden Knowledge, or when completing Mysteries.
Some Relics are MISSABLE, as they are rewards for completing missable Good Deeds.
If you want to collect all Defensive Gear as you progress you can follow the Hell is Us Collectible Walkthrough and you’ll get all trophies in 1 playthrough. It includes all trophies, collectibles, missables, and explains how to advance the story objectives.
Players who prefer to search by themself can follow the Missables Guide which lists only the strictly missable collectibles which covers the missable Good Deeds, then check this guide after if you need help with solutions for any of the remaining Relics.
