Survival games have drastically changed over the years, from having simple survival mechanics toimmersive crafting systemsthat keep players busy for hours.ARK: Survival Evolvedis one game that takes survivability to a whole new level since it allows players to tame dinosaurs, hunt/gather food, and fight epic bosses.
While boss fighting isn’t the primary goal forARK: Survival Evolved, it’s one way of obtaining precious loot that will make surviving the Crystal Isles much easier. But, before players can fight these bosses, they’ll need to gather eighteen Artifacts, which are hidden in various areas of Crystal Isles.
Devourer Artifact
Coordinates: 14.2 - 45.5
Gamers can find the Devourer Artifact at the top of a snowcapped mountain. The safest (and fastest) method of reaching that Artifact inARK: Survival Evolvedis by riding a flying dinosaur,like the Pteranodon.
Stalker Artifact
Coordinates:
To reach the Stalker Artifact, players will need a diving suit (with a full oxygen tank) or an aquatic companion. Once underwater, players should head to the 13.7 - 24.3 coordinates, which is all the way at the bottom.
Shadows Artifact
Coordinates: 25.0 - 71.2
The Shadows Artifact is found deep within the Hidden Grotto on Crystal Isles.
Strong Artifact
Coordinates: 31.2 - 50.6
Players can find this Artifact deep inside an icy cave. This cave has several rivers that can cause hypothermia, so players should avoid swimming in it as much as they can.
Depths Artifact
The Depths Artifact is found deep within a lake (31.9 - 30.2) inside a fiery cave. Once at the land coordinates, players should jump into the lake and head to the 31.8 - 32.3 coordinates.
Lost Artifact
The Lost Artifact is the hardest to get to since it involves a lot of underwater traveling, so players should bring with them plenty of oxygen tanks and a fast aquatic dinosaur. The Artifact will be found at the 18.5 - 40.8 coordinates, near some glowing seagrass.
Skylord Artifact
Coordinates: 39.7 - 44.5 (Underwater)
Oddly enough, the Skylord Artifact is located behind a waterfall. While this may seem an odd place to put a “Skylord” Artifact,it isn’t the oddest thing players will come across inARK: Survival Evolved.
Immune Artifact
Coordinates: 30.0 - 24.0
The Immune Artifact is located within a forest, so players should be wary of predators hiding among the foliage. The Artifact itself is inside a log overhanging a chasm.
Pack Artifact
Coordinates: 48.5 - 75.4
The Pack Artifact is one of the harder relics to find inARK: Survival Evolved, mainly due to the number of dangerous creatures found at its coordinates. Players should ensure they havethe best weapons with thembefore heading to this area.
Massive Artifact
Coordinates: 54.8 - 52.2 (Underwater)
This Artifact can be found underwater. Players should be cautious near these coordinates since there are plenty ofDiseased Leeches lurking around.
