All Current Artifact Codes

Artifacts are game modifiers that are found in the world in-game. Once an Artifact is unlocked, the player can enable it at the start of a run to drastically affect some aspect of the game.

In multiplayer, the Artifacts unlocked by all players in the lobby are pooled; the team can enable any Artifact that has been unlocked by any of the party members.

Unlocking

To unlock an Artifact, the player must input an Artifact Code in Sky Meadow using the Compound Generator below the map, then interact with the laptop. A portal to the trial for that Artifact in Bulwark's AmbryBulwark's Ambry (Hidden Realm)

The area consists of block-shaped platforms, with the Artifact Reliquary in the center. will spawn.

The Compound Generator's inputs will cycle in the order: square, circle, triangle, diamond (■ ● ▲ ♦).

In the Ambry, the Artifact whose trial is being attempted will be active (in addition to any other Artifacts that were enabled at the start of the run), and an Artifact KeyArtifact Key

• Though not listed above, Lunar Chimeras may drop items as well, and do so with significantly high rates.
• Drop chance is logged to the Console when a monster is killed.

Since drop chance cannot be lower than 5%, the Artifact of Swarms' drop chance reduction is less impactful against monsters that have low base drop chances. The following table shows some examples:

Trivia

Artifact design in the credits

• In the credits, there is a whiteboard design of an Artifact. It has no use but possibly could in the future.
• The Artifact of Frailty is known internally as the Artifact of "Weak Ass Knees".
• Each shape of the artifact code is heavily implied to refer to each element mentioned in Bulwark's Ambry's logbook.
  • The mass is the sphere, design is the cube, blood is the tetrahedron, and soul is the octahedron.
