How to unlock
In order to unlock each artifact (other than Rebirth, see that section for more details), you will have to complete a challenge in Bulwark's Ambry. To access this hidden realm, travel underneath the map in Sky Meadow and input a pattern, then confirm on the screen behind the pattern input area (You do not need to see the pattern to input it). If you entered a correct pattern, the teleporter will open a portal. If you enter an incorrect pattern it will fail and you can try again.
(Note: Upon entering the portal, the artifact you are trying to unlock will be active for this stage, then disable when leaving the stage. If you are planning to continue your run, be aware of this, as some artifacts may alter your run, such as Meta changing your survivor.)

Once in Bulwark's Ambry, you will find an Artifact Key in this location. Pick it up, move to the center orb, and use the key.

Monsters will begin spawning and the orb will begin shooting as well. The orb can only be damaged by Artifact Keys.

Killing monsters gives a chance to drop more Artifact Keys to grab and attack the orb with (No need to wait and collect a lot of keys, no matter how many you use at one time, it will do the same amount of damage. It is best to attack as soon as you can after grabbing an artifact key).

Once the orb has no HP remaining, all monsters will disappear and you will be able to grab the artifact.

After grabbing the artifact, a portal will appear to return and start a new loop.

You're absolutely right... I got it confused with unlocking the False Son . Just corrected it, thanks for pointing that out.

Rebirth does not require Halcyon Seed right? You can put any item on the Shrine of Rebirth

Ah thx. I think I also had a mod installed that changed the title screen and that didn't help :CryingGhost:.

You have to change the graphics settings mentioned in that section to be able to see it.

Spite's Location is covered by a tree for me. I'm trying to actually find them all myself but know the locations of it to find them in game.
Lexi! <3  [author] 27 May @ 10:23am 
I don't know if they fixed it or not... or if it's even something meant to be fixed, but someone replied to the tweet showing that it was not visible in game...
So maybe eventually it will be or it has been added in a smaller update since but I'm not sure.

Is the Devotion code meant to be seen in-game via the Environment Log for Verdant Falls? At least the Tweet made it less effort.

Okay I think that's everything that needed updated. Have locations and patterns for the 2 new artifacts + info about them from in game. Put them into the list with the order they appear in the artifact list in game.

I saw the pattern online but where is it?
