In this section,you'll learn where and how to get every Artifacts.They're in level order,and I shall provide a screenshot for everyone of them!


Honor Artifact.

Where to find:Desolate Forest

How to get it:Go to the middle left of the map.If you find a tunnel-like structure close to the rope,like explained in the following picture,it spawned!









Just follow the tunnel,and you'll reach someplace with geysers.Pass them,and fall down.If you go right after falling down and climb the pillars,you'll be able to get your artifact of honor!











Kin Artifact

Where to find:Dried Lake

How to get it:First things first,this Artifact can only be obtained by a couple of characters.Like,Miner/Loader/Huntress can't unlock it,because they're not able to break the wall.I strongly recommend doing it with Commando since it's a easily obtained character (duh).But anything that shoots bullets should be able to break it,altough this is only an assumption.

Now,go to the Dried Lake,and to the bottom right.If you see a crack in the wall,it's there!










After breaking the wall and doing this jump,shoot the buttons quickly!





















Distortion Artifact

Where to find:Damp Cavern

How to get it:First of all,go top right of the map.If you find one of those "Artifact Gates" as I'd call them,the artifact can be obtained.To make it spawn,you have to deal damage to the black box











Damaging it will result into the artifact spawning.Pretty simple, huh?

Spite Artifact


Where to find:Sky Meadow

How to get it:Head about middle left of the map and try to see if the ground is cracked at the same place it is in this picture.If it is,you can get your artifact!
























Glass Artifact

Where to find:Ancient Valley

How to get it:First,go to the middle left of the map.If you find a hole in the map just like this picture shows,it's there.










Now,go through the invisible tunnel,and active the buttons that are inside those red circles I drew on the following picture!








After doing so,just let yourself fall down and you'll reach a place with the glass artifact in it.











Enigma Artifact


Where to find:Sunken Tomb


How to get it:Get the Sunken Tomb level,and head bottom right.You'll find something that looks like the picture on the left of these words









Go down with the purple thing,and keep your right button pressed,so that your face rubs the wall while you fall down.When you'll "Disappear",you will still be heading right,and you'll hit some hidden geysers.Now go through this little tunnel that the arrow is pointing through in this other picture to the left of these words









Here you go,Enigma Artifact!

Sacrifice Artifact

Where to find it:Magma Barracks

How to get it:First of all,go middle left to see if it spawned.If it did,you should be able to see the Artifact Gate,just like in this picture









To make the actual Artifact spawn,it's a little bit more tricky.You'll need to activate buttons that are hidden inside walls.To do so,an explosive attack or something that pierces wall should be able to do so.Here's the location of all those buttons,in pictures.









































Now return to the place in the first picture and your Sacrifice Artifact will be there.Enjoy!


Command Artifact

Where to find it:Hive Cluster


How to get it:Go to the Top Right of the Map.If there's glowing hanging ropes,you've found it.Just jump from a rope to another and you'll reach the Command artifact,like explained in this picture to the left of these words









Here you go,Command artifact!(I recommend getting this one as soon as possible,as it makes every other artifacts easier to get.)




Spirit Artifact

Where to find it:Temple of the Elders (Last level)


How to get it:Go the the map's bottom right.Jump down,and if there is some platforms,it's there.Exemple of what it looks like with it spawned to the
left of these words




Just go through the obstacle course,and you'll find your artifact.Pretty simple one but you might require a character that has more movement possibilities or some movement items.











Origin Artifact won't have any picture,because I haven't unlocked it myself yet.

Location:Risk of Rain (The level)

How to get it:Beat Providence with every other Aritfacts activated.Very,very hardcore one.

Phew,this was long.I nearly managed to get all of them in one run,but it actually took me three!First one nearly had them all,but then crash.Then,second one got the rest unless Kin,since Loader can't open the cracked wall in the level.

In this section you'll learn that after collecting all of those well-earned Artifacts,you can use them for something else then bragging rights!That's right,those rocks are life-changers.They change certain elements of gameplay entirely,making things less random,harder or easier,and such.Read below for all those wonderful effects!


Honor Artifact makes every enemy elite.Elite monsters are those guys with colors:some of them makes fire by walking,other heals their friends,other makes electricity or missiles.

Overall effect:You might tell me it makes the game harder,but it really depends.Sure,everyone will have higher damage/health and special powers,but elite enemies has a lower spawn rate,so less enemies!Also,if you get 8 56 leaf clovers,there will be a 30% chance every elite enemy drops an item..That,in short,lets you get item like 1/3 of each enemies!

In short,harder for new people and easier for experienced players.

Kin Artifact will make only a single enemy spawn per level.So only one race of enemy every levels!

Overall effect:It really depends on your luck.Getting Lemurians as your only spawned monster really will help you,but if you fall on Sand Crabs right at the beginning,good luck on the teleporter event as those gals hurt a LOT.Some peoples will prefer it like this though,as sometimes it's harder to deal with multiple types of enemies,but think that only one specie will spawn per level,so better get a lucky start!

Distortion Artifact will lock one of your skills every minute,but makes other skills cooldown reduced by 25%

Overall effect:Added difficulty.It encourages being able to play without just mashing one of your button 'till you reach providence.For exemple,Huntress might not be able to use her Strafe
skill (Simple arrow) for a whole minute!What do you do,wait it out?Nope,you gotta fight without it!It might change the skill every minute.Completely random,but can't lock more then one skill at the same time;it changes every minute.


Spite Artifact makes enemies drop bombs on death.Those bombs deals damage to both the player and enemies

Overall effect:I'd say it adds difficulty difficulty to melee characters and makes things easier for ranged ones.Melee characters will most of the time be in range of those bombs and will take a couple of hits most of the time.Thing is,ranged characters can easily kill enemies from far away and thus avoid the bomb,making the enemies only take damage from those.Sniper takes advantage from this a lot for exemple because his main objective is to stay far away from enemies,while Mercenarywill defenitively take a beating if he doesn't dash away or avoid them.


Glass artifact makes you inflict 5 times more damage,but your base health is 90% lower (Inflict 500% damage but have 10%)

Overall effect:Matter of opinion.I as one cannot play a game without it.Lemurians gets 2 shot easily,but you get 2 shot as well.You'll start with about 12 HP (Lowest is 9 for Huntress and highest is 16 for HAN-D) but your damages are wonderful.It also makes all of your items do those damage,so for exemple if you have a Mortar Tube,Ceremonial Dagger or things of the sort,they'll inflict 5x damages too!

Enigma Artifact transforms your use item slot into an Enigma,which does any effect a normal use item could do.You start with it and every Use Items now become Small Enigmas,that reduces your cooldown.

Overall Effect:Adds more randomness to the game.Your use item is now a big lottery!Advantage is,with Small Enigmas you can easily reduce your cooldown by a lot.Disadvantage is,you'll never know what your use item will do.Take it if you like randomness or don't mind it and would like the easily reduced cooldown,otherwise leave it aside.


Sacrifice Artifact makes everything you can spend money on dissapear,but now enemies might drop items on death!The drop rate is kinda low though.

Overall effect:The amount of item you get now depends of how much enemies you kill.Also,now money has no use,so you'll get all of it to transform into experience points at the end of the level,or you can use it to make your Gold-Platted Bomb deal nice damage!A downside is the fact Drones gets completely removed.No drones at all!Also,you'll have a hard time getting items at the beginning,as you'll need to kill,and the drop rate is kinda low.But if you combo it with 56 leaf Clovers,you'll get a tremendeous amount of items end-game!


Command Artifact makes you able to decide what item you get.Items now become colored boxes,and you can get an item of your choice from the box by interacting with it!

Overall effect:Removes a LOT of randomness.Now you can decide what you get!Common item becomes white boxes that lets you take 1 Common item of your choice,same for every other tiers.Downside is that most of the boss items dissapear (From personal experience at least,never saw any boss item since I got Command) unless,for some reason,one time where I got a Ifrit Horn and his monster log.Maybe getting a monster log drops the boss item?Oh,and you can also die in the menu while selecting your item,so make sure you're not surrounded before making your choice!


Spirit Artifact makes players and monsters have higher speed on lower health

Overall effect:Added difficulty for the majority of time.Whle it does help a lot to run away from hordes at low HP and such things,your enemies will be on low HP a lot more often than you will.This makes the enemies take advantage of this artifact more often,meaning you're theorically in a disadvantage.Still can be enjoyable,but I don't like it.

Origin Artifact makes 3-5 Purple Imps spawn,alongside a Imp Vanguard,everytime your timer hits a multiple of 10 (10 mins,20 mins,30 mins,40 mins..).

Overall effect:Added difficulty.I didn't unlock the Artifact yet so can't say if the Imps are strong or not,but the Imp Vanguard counts like as a boss so he drops an item.Can be enjoyable,I guess,but I'd need to test it out myself to give more info on this one,sorry.

And here is how chapter 2 finishes.

This one took me 11 hours and 45 minutes,since I had to actually collect every artifacts myself and really,really went unlucky.Not only did the game give me about 12 Magma Barracks without Artifacts in it,but when I finally got it,my game crashed alongside my 2 hours run!Frustration moments.Still was really fun to complete!
