There are 9 Collectibles to find in Ancestral Forge. There are 2 Rubies, 1 Wraithstone, 2 Demonic Essence, 2 Codex Entries, 1 Toy, and 1 Weapon Skin. Below you will find all collectibles locations in Ancestral Forge in the order you should encounter them.

Codex Entry #1: Ancestral Forge

  • In the northwest corner of the starting area, you can drop down off the edge to find the Codex Entry

Wraithstone #1

  • The statue holding the Wraithstone is in the northeast corner of the starting area, and you need to destroy 3 wolf statues in the area to bring down the shield protecting it
  • The first wolf statue is to the right of the Wraithstone statue, up above in the rock
  • The second wolf statue is behind the locked gate requiring the Secret Key back at the start of the chapter
  • The third wolf statue is along the western edge of the starting area, in the bit that connects the southern and northern sections
  • Once all 3 wolf statues are destroyed, return to the Wraithstone statue to take it

Demonic Essence #1: Health

  • In the starting area, this Leader will spawn during the encounter in the eastern corner

Ruby #1

  • Once you have the Secret Key, return to the lever you pulled as part of the main objective in the northwest part of the map
  • Behind it, you can jump across to an area unlocked by the Secret Key
  • Follow the path up and kill the enemies along the way, and you'll find the Ruby statue at the top

Toy #1: Vagary

  • This Toy is directly next to Ruby #1, so follow the same steps to find it

Ruby #2

  • When you reach the second map area for this Chapter, follow the corridor to the end and smash through the marked wall with your shield
  • Then, throw your shield at the large chain through the gap in the wall to your left
  • This raises the gate, allowing access to the Ruby

Weapon Skin #1: Nightmare (Super Shotgun)

  • As you progress through this section, you'll soon reach a wider area with pods with blue lights along the walls
  • Look up to spot a chain you can break, which lowers a piece of machinery
  • Continue on and throw your shield at the blue device to activate the elevator
  • When you reach the top, there'll be enemies in front of you, but look to your left to find a ledge you can jump across to
  • From here, perform a Shield Recall Jump on the green statue to the right
  • Do so again on the other green statue, and you'll leap across to get the Weapon Skin

Codex Entry #2: King Novik

  • This Codex Entry is directly across from Weapon Skin #1, so simply follow those instructions and then jump over

Demonic Essence #2: Ammo

  • After unlocking your first Shield Rune in the main story, the Leader carrying this Demonic Essence will be part of the next enemy encounter at the back
