Detailed Information

Artifact Codes Guide – How to Use Them

If you don’t know what to do with the codes in the image above – read this first.

Many players look at Artifact codes and think:
"Cool… but where do I enter them?"
You cannot activate Artifact codes from the main menu.
You must find the Compound Generator inside the game world.

How to read the image with codes

On the image above:
  • The text above each name = what the Artifact does.
  • The text below each name = where the code is found in the world (tablet location).

You do NOT need to find tablets to use codes.
Tablets only show you the code — they are not required to activate it.
Where to enter Artifact codes

You can only enter Artifact codes on Stage 5: Sky Meadow (base game)
Helminth Hatchery (DLC)

Both locations contain a special machine called the Compound Generator.

Sky Meadow – Generator location

The Compound Generator is located on a lower island beneath the main map. Look for:
  • Open edges where you can drop down
  • A cave-like opening under the stage
  • A floating island below the main terrain

If you are running on the ground level, you are too high.
Helminth Hatchery (DLC) – Generator location

The Compound Generator is located on an upper platform / raised ledge. Look for:
  • Climbable terrain
  • High platforms
  • Side paths that lead upward

If you are in the bottom tunnels, you are too low.
How to activate an Artifact

  1. Reach Stage 5 (Sky Meadow or Helminth Hatchery).
  2. Find the Compound Generator.
  3. Interact with the panel showing a 3×3 symbol grid.
  4. Change each symbol to match a code from the image above.
  5. Confirm the input on the terminal.

If the code is correct:
A red portal will appear.
Jump into it.
What happens next

You will be teleported to Bulwark’s Ambry. Inside:
  • Enemies will spawn.
  • They drop Artifact Keys.
  • Insert keys into the Reliquary.
  • Complete the event.
  • Artifact unlocked.

If you die — you must return and re-enter the code again.
