Overview
A guide that shows you what a Artifact can do and where you can find them!
Altered Insulator.
This used to be an insulator, It has now almost turned into an unstable artifact. It is probably the source of intermittent psy-emissions.
Radiation: +6
Weight: 1.00 kg
Locations
This is a unique artifact that you’ll acquire as part of an optional mission provided by Professor Hermann. The artifact is located inside a room at the tunnel in the north-western corner of Jupiter.
Altered Wheel
This was once the dredge station wheel. It has now half converted into a strange artifact. No properties are notable, other than active glowing and a little radioactivity.
Radiation: +6
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
This artifact is unique and can only be found at the Dredge Station in Zaton. Beard can provide you with an optional mission which you can complete by retrieving this artifact for him.
Battery
The composition of this artifact includes electrostatic elements, but scientists have yet to identify the exact physical conditions required for its formation. The artifact is popular in the Zone and valued by its residents and visitors for its energizing properties, although it can tire the body out through prolonged use.
Energy Recovery: +2
Radiation: +1
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
A good spot to look for this artifact is by the collection of Electro anomalies near Iron Forest Anomaly.
Bubble
A compound of several hollow organic formations, this artifact emits a gaseous substance that can neutralize radioactive particles inside the body without harming it. Because of its effectiveness, this artifact is in great demand.
Radiation: -4
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
If you helped out Garry getting the two artifacts for the scientists, he’ll give you a Bubble artifact when you meet him in Pripyat. You are also likely to find this artifact in the anomaly filled underground in Pripyat.
Compass
A realy rare artifact, it’s been several years since one was found. The artifact can locate gaps in anomaly fields. It is believed that it can help one traverse the most complex anomaly fields completely unharmed. However, very few know how to handle it properly.
Thermal: +3
Chemical: +3
Psy: +3
Electricity: +3
Energy Recovery: +2
Radiation: +4
Weight: 0.50 kg

Radiation: +1
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
The Burnt Farmstead in Zaton is an obvious place to find this artifact.
Eye
This artifact, which resembles the human eye, considerably increases the body’s metabolism, helping wounds heal quicker. Experienced stalkers say that the Eye also brings luck.
Wound Healing: +4
Radiation: +2
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
You can find this artifact at the Boiler Anomaly in Zaton.
Fireball

Thermal: +6
Radiation: +2
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
You will get this artifact as a reward for helping Awl and Petruha who can be found at the Boiler Anomaly
Firefly
Firefly interacts with fields unknown to science, considerably speeding up regeneration of tissue and organs in living beings, as well as normalizing metabolic processes. This artifact can literally get a badly wounded stalker back on his feet in seconds. Unfortunately, Firefly is extremely rare.
Health: +6
Radiation: +3
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
I’ve been able to find this artifact at the Plavni Anomaly in the northern part of Jupiter and inside the small pit beneath the Vine Anomaly in north-eastern Pripyat.
Flame
This artifact forms in areas of high thermal activity. Produces powerful infrared emissions, which intensify metabolic processes, healing wound before its bearer’s very eyes. As this artifact is very rare, it is extremely valuable.
Wound Healing: +6
Radiation: +3
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
The Circus Anomaly is a good place to find this artifact.
Flash
This electrostatic artifact is a powerful absorbent of electricity, which it later discharges. Flash is capable of protecting its bearer from electric shocks of up to 5,000 volts.
Electricity: +6
Radiation: +2
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
Managed to find one near the Electro anomalies inside the Scar Anomaly in Zaton.
Goldfish
The result of an interaction between a large number of gravitational fields, Goldfish produces its own powerful internally directed gravitational field, which renders items within its range almost weightless. This artifact is most effective for reducing carried weight, which explains why it is always in great demand.
Maximum Weight: +12 kg
Radiation: +3
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
You can sometimes find a Goldfish at the Claw Anomaly in Zaton. Another place to look is at the Bitumen Anomaly in Jupiter.
Gravi
Gravi is formed from metallic substances exposed to prolonged gravitation. This makes it capable of sustaining an antigravitational field, and many stalkers use it to reduce the weight of their backpacks.
Maximum Weight: +8 kg
Radiation: +2
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
A place to look for this artifact is the Bitumen Anomaly in Jupiter.
Heart of the Oasis
This artifact was found at the center of the legendary Oasis. It appears that the Heart is a crystallized plant, which has acquired the healing properties of the Oasis. Unlike the Oasis itself, however this artifact is extremely radioactive.
Health: +2
Hunger Elimination: +1
Energy Recovery: +2
Wound Healing: +2
Radiation: +4
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
This artifact is found at the Oasis, once you solve the puzzle of the entrance.
Jellyfish
This gravitational artifact attracts and absorbs radioactive particles, reducing the effects of radiation on the body. Very common in the Zone and is unofficially used outside the Zone for treating acute radiation sickness in exceptional circumstances.
Radiation: -2
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
You can find a Jellyfish on a ledge at the Claw Anomaly in Zaton. Another place to look for this is at the Bitumen Anomaly in Jupiter.
Kolobok
A relatively rare artifact which forms in areas contaminated with chemicals. Kolobok is highly values for its ability to heal wound of any kind in mere minutes. For unknown reasons, scientists are spreading rumors among stalkers that the artifact interacts with the bearer’s genetic code.
Health: +4
Radiation: +2
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
You can find this artifact at the top of the Oakpine Anomaly in Zaton. You may also be able to find one inside a room in Pripyat that you can only access by climbing the Vine Anomaly.
Mama’s Beards
Much about this artifact remains a complete mystery to scientists. At the same time, it is known for certain that emissions produced by pulses in its thicker sections force blood in open wounds to clot quicker, forming a protective scab. One of the most noticeable effects of this artifact is the increased speed of wound healing.
Wound Healing: +2
Radiation: +1
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
Another artifact that can be found at the Boiler Anomaly in Zaton.
Meat Chuck
This organic artifact consists of deformed, mutated animal tissue. When placed in a chemically contaminated area, Meat Chunk transforms the airborne chemicals into a mucous fluid.

Radiation: +2
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
One place to find this artifact is in the underground caves south-west of Burnt Farmstead in Zaton.
Moonlight
This unique electrostatic artifact can resonate under the influence of psy-waves. Stalkers have learned to fine-tune the artifact so that it resonates in opposite phase to the main source of emissions, thus fully or significantly neutralizing their effects.
Psy: +6
Radiation: +2
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
I’ve managed to find a couple of these at the Parking Lot in Jupiter.

Energy Recovery: +4
Radiation: +1
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
I’ve managed to find this artifact among the Electro anomalies at the Parking Lot.
Snowflake
At first glance, this artifact resembles Kolobok. Some claim that it actually is Kolobok, its properties reinforced by exposure to a powerful electric field. Thanks to its unique properties, the artifact can significantly increase the bearer’s muscle tone.
Energy Recovery: +6
Radiation: +3
Weight: 0.50 kg
Locations
One sure place to find this artifact is near (or on the floor below) the elctro anomalies on the roof of the Yubileiny Service Center.
