How To Unlock All 14 Artifacts | Risk Of Rain Returns

[@blujayvox87]

For clarification: To get the artifact of Origin, you only need to have the nine artifacts from Risk of Rain 1 enabled for it to spawn. You don't need Dissonance, Prestige, Tempus, or Cognation activated.

[@ToaRex]

I did say all the PREVIOUS artifacts when talking about origin but yeah

[@tacemiko3849]

He already has it time stamped though

Thank you for this guide you're a life saver! The easter eggs in the ROR universe are so obscure, I can't imagine how long it took to figure these out

[@Хома-п3т]

time for tempus - 16 minutes, after 15:59 on timer artifact would dissapear and the unique animation of closing walls behind the artifact will be played

[@bubbabasher7652]

Oh is that what the random grandfather clock chimming I sometimes hear is?

[@Moons-Motors]

I think that random grandfather clock sound is each 5-10 minutes on the difficulty timer@@bubbabasher7652

[@PaperLaur]

@@bubbabasher7652 Nah, those are the difficulty level going up a tier, which doesn't actually line up with the Tempus deadline as far as I can tell

[@bubbabasher7652]

I swear those gongs always seem to happen in the middle of a difficulty teir though...@@PaperLaur

[@SnipitySniper99]

ah man this really helped me dude, i was so stuck on some of these.

[@Draconis_Eltanin]

For the buttons that need activation they can easily be cheesed via loader base ultimate skill as it hits in a rectangle so you can place on pilon in the top right and one in the bottom left and the buttons are all activated at once. (Haven't tested in the magma barracks)

[@raptorboss6688]

Ur so real for this one

[@arlwiss5110]

Yes it works in Magma Barracks too

[@blitzboy2934]

Also for the artifact of sacrifice, surprisingly loader’s pylons also work to hit the buttons if you can position them properly.

[@MajSpork]

For Artifact of Spirit I'd recommend changing game scaling to 1x instead of 2x. I found that having it zoomed in made it WAY easier.

[@myleg7012]

I love you collecting the artifact of glass calmly while your friend gets murdered lmao

[@ericfriesen5838]

I got the Artifact of Tempus on my 4th or 5th run so I guess that's pretty good though I can't say it's to my liking since I like the aspect of slowly getting stronger over time

[@d3athsickle361]

note: all the platform puzzle ones can picked up by the drone you control when you die in multiplayer :)

[@yeet9420]

Thanks for the video, much more helpful than the wiki at the moment

[@Chris.Newbury]

Thank you Having to farm those gold medals feels like a pain 😅

[@DeuceDevious]

Would have been perfect if you described what each one does in the little graphic you put up there. Dropped a like either way

[@capra_kid]

Did you know: If you're trying to get Sacrifice & playing as a survivor that can't hit the buttons, Cremator can hit them for you :D

[@Witcheridoo]

Aha that was really good level design

[@SmihoTvor_lite]

​@@Witcheridoo Don't you dare say Cremator is a well-designed boss

[@astronot8928]

You can also break the ground at Sky Meadow for Artifact of Spite by letting the Parents slam the ground. Tested this theory and it worked out first try👍

[@Darkfist007]

Useful AF video, thanks man.

[@danielzamora9660]

great job on the video

[@WissperAndL]

The artifact I want to know where to find is the banger version of the song with vocals you used in the background

[@iguanasandwich28]

It's called "Coalescence Returns.." on the RoRR soundtrack.

[@alexsanderognev]

Thanx for your work :)

[@Sh1rhix]

The first artifact I got was dissoance which is really stupid. In that run, I hadn't unlocked goat hoof, so I couldn't get the ones with platforming, I was playing commando, so no AoE for the buttons. And I also just didn't get the stage variants for the other artifacts.

[@michaelwaldsmith495]

I am struggling to find how to make it to the Artifact of Distortion, can you help explain how you found your way to the top of the map? I must have missed something but I swear I have visited what I believe to be the top right corner a few times and have not seen what is shown on screen in your vid. Otherwise, good vid. And timely with the release too!

[@ToaRex]

that stage is pretty confusing sometimes, you might need to find the way up on the left side of the stage and then walk across to the right side

[@rpawesomeness397]

Quick question, can you activate the artifact of distorion without a melee character? I was using Huntress and no matter what I pressed I just couldn't get the button to go down.

[@ToaRex]

huntress' cluster bomb should be able to the hit the buttons

[@rpawesomeness397]

@@ToaRex I tried, but unless I positioned myself it didn't work

[@tobi_versace]

Same. Can't get it to work

[@Sotanaht01]

Dissonance is so ridiculous to try and get. You have to get all 4 unique pieces in one run (including loops), and you have a 50/50 shot of getting a piece on any given stage. That means you need to hit all 4 specific stages each on one of the allowed variants to get the artifact. So that's a 50/50 shot, followed by another 50/50 shot for the first 2 parts. Then on loop two you either have a 25% or a 50% chance to get a piece at each stage. Once you get down to the last piece you only have a 1 in 4 shot PER LOOP to get the item. Took me over two hours in a single run to get all 4 parts, and I was moving from stage to stage as quickly as possible with a 300 stack of barbed wire to just end everything.

[@electrozauzage9615]

I feel bad telling you this but it does not need to be in one single run.

[@bluewolf7111]

@@electrozauzage9615 It does, its literally on the video and you can see it reset every run.

[@electrozauzage9615]

@bluewolf7111 Well I got it myself across several different runs, I found the 4th part like 2 days after the other 3

[@Museko]

I can also confirm it all doesn't need to be in a single run. I unlocked this pretty easily the first day just collecting anything I could during my runs before I looked anything up.

[@bluewolf7111]

@@Museko Thats odd, I collected all of them in different runs and havent unlocked it. Even more so, since they respawn every run, and every time you pick the first one of the run it tells you "collect three more", it heavily makes me believe its meant to be collected all in one.

[@TheKaralix]

Call me dumb but i unlocked a few artifacts but dont know how to use them in a run or beggin one with them, i dont see the option, do i need to defeat providence before unlocking it or what?

[@ToaRex]

they have their own little tab on the menu when you're selecting your survivor and such just scroll down a bit

[@JackWoodham]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@docboom8451]

I am so sad, they don't have artifact of chaos. I just want to enable friendly fire and pvp my friends. This was always a ton of fun to do. Hopoo if you see this please allow a pvp toggle in multi-player.

[@BobNorrisQC]

I’ve manage to reach the button for the artifact of distortion, but even tho I tried pressing everything, the buttons wouldn’t work: do we need to be 2 playets or something? Do I need a specific caracter to be able to hit the button? I really dont get it

[@ToaRex]

going based on what others have said it seems to need an attack that does some sort of AOE or Explosive damage or a downwards attack so think loader's primary attack, han-d's hammer, attacks with the brilliant behemoth etc,

[@AlongTheBorderSide]

I have tried the distortion one so many times, easily got over there and for whatever reason the button won't activate

[@Zurinaya]

You need headstompers to activate the button so you can claim the artifact of distortion

[@IEatSandForSport]

You dont need headstompres, it just needs to be a downwards attack@@Zurinaya

[@PoggerFoxy]

either a downwards attack, headstompers or any explosive attack

[@Zurinaya]

@@IEatSandForSport honestly just knew this thanks

[@bluewolf7111]

Same, got there and thought it would be activated with E.

[@onepunchcrusader2991]

what is the name of the song he played towards the end of the video

[@ToaRex]

Coalescence Returns

[@sumuttle]

For Artifact of Dissoance do i need to get all 4 pieces in the same run?

[@ToaRex]

No I don't think so

[@thiagoloopes7630]

Somebody help me, to get the artifact of kin you have to do the button puzzle quickly, but what about the others buttons puzzles?

[@schnozz4301]

They all have a timer before the button pops back out, so it's good to have movement items to get them done quickly

[@corvynyan]

How do I know which Variant the current map has?

[@ToaRex]

there's sadly no way to check when you're in a run besides collecting as many of the environment logs as you can and memorizing which variant has which terrain/decoration you can look at each variant in your log book though once you collect the environment logs

[@fazemand]

they actually locked my last artifact behind 15 gold providence trials?! Oh man I already disliked them locking an item behind 5.....
