How to get Artifacts cheats for Risk of Rain

How to get Artifacts

In Risk of Rain artifacts are items that are found in hidden areas of certain levels and can drastically change gameplay, either by making it more interesting and/or challenging. You can toggle artifacts on or off at the 'Player' selection screen. Any combination of all 10 artifacts can be toggled on simultaneously. In co-op you can pick up an artifact, even if you already own it, doing so will unlock it for all the other players in the match. Artifacts do not spawn every time a level is loaded. Sometimes, continuous play is required to try get an artifact to spawn.

Listed below are the 10 artifacts, where you will find them, and the requirement to unlock them. Once you have the artifact it can be enabled at the 'Character' selection screen for your next playthrough.

Artifact of Sacrifice:

Hit the three switches in 'Magma Barracks', then proceed to the artifact gate.

Artifact of Enigma:

There is a passage at the bottom right of 'Sunken Tomb' that is reached by falling into the hole above it and pushing to the right to land on an invisible jump pad.

Artifact of Command:

It may appear in 'Hive Cluster', at the top right corner of the map. You must climb across the ropes to reach it.

Artifact of Distortion:

There is a small box towards the top right section of 'Damp Caverns'. Break it to spawn the artifact at the gate.

Artifact of Glass:

There is an invisible passage up the left wall in 'Ancient Valley'. Reach it, then hit several timed switches before falling to reach the gate.

Artifact of Honor:

There is a path in the middle left portion of 'Desolate Forest'. Jetpacks or the Miner/Mercenary are required to make the jumps.

Artifact of Kin:

Break the wall in the right end of 'Dried Lake', then hit the switches in there.

Artifact of Spirit:

There are platforms sometimes at the bottom right of 'Temple Of The Elders' after you jump off the cliff. Follow them to reach the artifact.

Artifact of Origin:

Kill the final Boss in 'UES Contact Light' with all other artifacts active.

Artifact of Spite:

In the middle left area of 'Sky Meadow' is a small part of ground that is cracked. Use an explosive to break it, then enter the hole.
