The Last of Us Part 2 features a few Easter Eggs and pop culture references scattered in its beautifully immersive environment. Among the many collectibles in the game, there are two special items that you need to find to unlock specific Trophies. The Strange Relic is a unique item that you need to find and pick up to unlock the Trophy Relic of the Sages. This item is so small and can be easily missed. In this page, we will discuss how to track down the Strange Relic, which can be obtained in Seattle Day 1 while playing as Abby.
For convenience, it is recommended to enable High Contrast mode in the Accessibility options. You can also consider turning on the Enhanced Listening Mode (in the Navigation and Traversal section in the Options menu) which will enable you to use mapped buttons to send a ping to find nearby collectibles in your immediate location.

This unique item can be found in Seattle Day 1, during the mission Hostile Territory. Continue through the mission until you reach an alley full of shops, including a bakery, traditional medicine, bar, and antique shop. Enter the Ruby Dragon bar beside the medicine shop and loot the crafting materials and parts behind the counter.
Once done, open the backdoor and head to the second floor. There is a couple of clickers inside so crawl under the table blocking the door then kill the clickers from there. After clearing the room, loot the other crafting materials then jump across to the adjacent shop to reach the balcony.
Head to the next room but don’t drop down from the hole on the wall yet; instead, look to the right to find a small egg-shaped object on top of a drawer. Pick it up to obtain the Strange Relic Artifact which will unlock the Relic of the Sages Trophy.
