    Charlie MurderI'm ThoroughThe I'm Thorough achievement in Charlie Murder worth 101 pointsFind all relics.

    To obtain this achievement you must collect and have all 54 Relics within Charlie Murder in your inventory. Relics are special collectible-esque items scattered throughout the game that you can equip to give your character unique boosts. You can view them by pressing cn_back-button and hitting cn_RB until you find them under the tab with a ring icon. Here are some important notes on relics:

    ° You need to have at least 54 open inventory slots for this.
    ° Low level characters will need to upgrade their inventory to Relic II or III in order to carry all relics for the achievement.
    ° If you ever have more than 1 of a specific relic in your inventory, the boosts will NOT stack.
    ° You can hold up to 99 of each relic in your inventory without taking up extra slots.
    ° Extra relics can be sold for $1.25 apiece or given away / traded to friends.
    ° Smockula's body parts are also considered to be relics so gathering those along the way for this will earn you the I Collected a Being achievement.
    ° This achievement can easily be obtained by having a friend drop all 54 relics to you online. See below for details.

    Cell Phone
    Your cell phone is a necessary tool when going for this achievement, as you must take pictures of scenery to obtain a large portion of them. By pressing cn_down on the d-pad, this will bring up your cell camera, move the focus with Left-stick and take photos by hitting the cn_A-button. Equipping the Magnifying Glass relic will make it easier to find them. With it equipped, whenever you press down on your cell phone a nearby relic should glimmer, indicating that it's a relic and that you can photograph it. There is also a zoom in feature that is done by holding down the cn_RT-trigger. It is important to note that some relics can only be acquired certain ways:

    Random Drop Relics
    By defeating enemies or bosses there's a chance they will drop relics. Some of these, you may even purchase at shops and tattoo parlors throughout the game such as the Golden Ticket and Diamond Scale. Equipping relics such as Smockula's Eye, Rabbit's Foot, Toy Microscope, and Dish Plush will cause enemies to drop relics more often. Playing in 4-way Co-op with friends who also have these items equipped will increase your chances of even more relics being dropped. By playing through the game 3 times for the difficult-based achievements, you'll have a good chance of finding most of them or you can simply have a friend give some of these odd ones to you in online Co-op. The randomly appearing small potato enemies that run around also tend to drop rare items throughout the game when you defeat them. According to Ska Studios, all of these have an equal percentage chance of dropping. A solid place to farm for them is Camp Falconbats, take the path into the woods and repeatedly play the ecstasy pill section where you use chainsaws and shotguns. The more cooperative players involved, the higher drop rates you will receive.

    Photograph Character Relics
    By playing in a co-op multiplayer game with different members of Charlie Murder, you can get a relic pertaining to each character in the game. Simply bringing out your cell phone and taking a picture of each playable character yields a unique Relic such as an Anarchy Pin for photographing Charlie. This can also be done with 2 controllers in Local co-op. There are 5 band member-related relics in all.

    ° Anarchy Pin
    ° Robot Button
    ° Star Button
    ° The Cause
    ° Trashpin

    Smockula's Body Part Relics
    Throughout the game there are hints on the walls as to where to find each of his body parts. Each one is not only required to get the Good Ending, but they also count as relics. Don't miss any doors in the background while moving forward throughout the game and you shouldn't miss these. These doors usually lead to a side boss fight that will drop a gold chest yielding a body part. Break open the chest to reveal the body part. Take a picture of it and it should be added to your collection of relics afterward. You can also wait for the glowing body part to drop to the ground and you can pick it up with the A-button. If playing in Co-op, extra parts will drop depending on how many players are present. There are 5 body part relics in all.

    ° Smockula's Eye
    ° Smockula's Heart
    ° Smockula's Lung
    ° Smockula's Tooth
    ° Smockula's Brain

    Photograph Items & Story Item Relics
    These relics are the hidden ones throughout the game that you'll need to take pictures of in the background, foreground, or behind breakable items in order to obtain them. By equipping the Magnifying Glass, hitting down on the d-pad and pulling up your camera phone, will cause nearby relics to glimmer. Be sure to snap photos of them. Some of these relics such as the Golden Ticket, can be photographed, purchased, and randomly dropped by enemies. Be sure to slowly play through the story mode and take pictures of any and everything you see that may yield a special relic.

    Trading Relics with Friends
    If you have difficulties finding certain relics, you can have your friends drop them for you to pick up in an online Xbox Live co-op game. This goes for any other items and equips, they too can be dropped to others. And luckily, your friends can still keep all of their relics and items once they give them to you by using a simple trick.

    Step 1: The person receiving the relics MUST be host. Simply invite the person lending relics to a co-op game and have them drop all of their relics to you by highlighting them and hitting the Y-button. Stand over them and hold A to equip them.
    Step 2: Next, have the lender exit to the Xbox home dashboard. They should then load Charlie Murder back up and still have all of their relics once they pick their character again and check their inventory.
    Step 3: Once the lender dashboards, the Host needs to save the game by backing out to the stage select map menu to save any relics or items they picked up.

    The Save icon is a spinning star in the lower right corner of the screen. Once it disappears your game will be officially saved.

    Once you have every relic in your inventory this will unlock. Once someone in the Xbox Live community has the achievement you can simply ask them to drop their relics off for you and you can easily unlock this as well (provided you have enough inventory slots).

    FeLizP solution is worderful and have all the information anyone need about this achievement.
    I 'm just adding here another possible location for relic farming: the Gor'Castle Parks entrance (Credit to KING JIGGLY on this). Take the boat ride, and skip the cut scene by pressing Y. Go to the right until enemies spawn and keep killing the 3 waves that appear as you go to the right. After cleaning the room leave it through the left exit and re-enter. Differently from Camp Falconbats you have a chance of finding harder enemies (regular enemies with 2 health bars which always drop an item): you can get from 0 to 6 of them in the room. My advice: come here after you've beat the game on the last difficult and enter this map in normal mode and you should be able to do this map in 2 minutes max with all relics on. Focus the witches as the ground enemies can die from your poison aura (if you have Pestilence Vial already). After 1h in here I was getting 10 relics in 5 minutes (though my luck wasn't helping) when I finally got my last relic.

    Achilles8249I got the last ones I needed in this area, about 10 I believe. The pestilence vial took the longest to get and I only did the regular difficulty. Nice guide.

    Just a quick tip - the best place I`ve found to farm the random drop items is the pirate ship. Right after you beat the computer nerd, exit to the right and fight the 2 waves of guys that come, (don`t head too far right after you`ve beaten both waves or you`ll be sucked onto the front of the ship for the boss battle) then exit left back to the computer nerd room and back out onto the deck to fight more guys. I did this on chaos mode since once you`re leveled up the guys are all one hit kills anyway, but I`m not sure if it makes a difference which mode you use. Best place to farm hands down - it`ll take a while but I got every rare item I needed here.
