Side Quests & Activities

While Age of Mythology follows a structured mission format, You can gain significant advantages by pursuing optional objectives and hunting for Relics scattered across the map. Relics are unique artifacts that, when garrisoned in a Temple by a Hero, provide permanent global bonuses such as increased resource gather rates, cheaper mythical units, or enhanced building hit points. Prioritizing Relic recovery early in a match can often be the deciding factor in long-term economic or military dominance.

In the 'Fall of the Trident' campaign, specific scenarios feature hidden secondary objectives that are not required for victory but offer critical support. These tasks, such as rescuing trapped villagers or destroying optional bandit camps, frequently reward You with powerful reinforcements or additional resources. Mastering these diversions alongside the main objective is essential for completing the campaign on Titan difficulty and gaining a comprehensive understanding of each civilization's unique mechanics.
