If you’ve been grinding through the depths of Abyss, you know that gear is only half the battle. The real power spikes—the kind that let you solo bosses and dominate the leaderboards—come from the hidden collectibles scattered across the map. In this comprehensive guide, I will walk you through how to get all Secret Artifacts in Abyss, detailing every location, drop rate, and stat boost you need to know.

Whether you are a newbie washing up on the shore or a veteran diver looking for that final missing piece, this guide has you covered.

How to Get All Secret Artifacts in Abyss?

Finding these artifacts isn’t just about wandering around; it requires specific knowledge of spawn points and mechanics. Below is a quick reference table of every Secret Artifact currently available in the game as of March 2026. This table is designed to help you quickly identify what you are missing and where to look.

Artifact Name	Location / Source	Rarity	Primary Stat Boost
Abyssal Heart	Deep Trench (Zone 5)	Legendary	+25% Max Health
Void Crystal	Hidden Cave (Zone 2)	Rare	+15% Mana Regen
Ancient Relic	Boss Drop: Leviathan	Epic	+20% Damage
Sunken Crown	Shipwreck Parkour	Legendary	+10% Speed, +10% Luck
Shadow Essence	Night Spawn (World)	Common	+5% Crit Chance
Neon Fragment	Bioluminescent Grove	Rare	+15% Ability Damage
Titan’s Core	Underground Mine	Epic	+30% Defense

Why Are Secret Artifacts Important?

Before we dive into the specific locations, let’s talk about why you need these. Unlike standard gear that you can simply buy or craft, Secret Artifacts provide passive buffs that stack with your equipment. For example, combining the Titan’s Core (+30% Defense) with a heavy armor set can make you virtually unkillable in PVP. Missing these means you are essentially playing the game on “Hard Mode.”

Prerequisites Before You Hunt

You can’t just walk into the deepest parts of the Abyss and expect to grab these items immediately. Based on my testing, you need to meet certain requirements to access the artifact locations:

Level Requirement: Most artifacts in later zones require a minimum level of 50 to even enter the area. For the Deep Trench artifacts, I recommend being Level 100+.
Breathing Apparatus: For underwater artifacts (like the Abyssal Heart), you need the Rebreather item. You can check out our guide on How to Get the Rebreather in Abyss for help.
Movement Abilities: The Sunken Crown requires a Double Jump ability. Ensure you have unlocked the “Agility” skill tree or have a specific mount that grants air mobility.
Luck Stats: If you are farming for drop-based artifacts, invest in the “Lucky” trait or equip gear that boosts your Fortune stat. It significantly reduces the grind time.

Complete List of Secret Artifacts & Locations

Let’s break down every artifact mentioned in the table above. I will provide step-by-step instructions on how to reach them, including landmarks to look out for.

1. Abyssal Heart (Legendary)

Location: Deep Trench (Zone 5)
Type: World Spawn

The Abyssal Heart is arguably the most sought-after artifact because it provides a massive survivability boost.

How to Find It:
1. Travel to Zone 5 (The Deep Trench). You will need a submarine or the “Deep Dive” ability.
2. Look for the Glowing Red Fissure on the eastern wall of the trench map. It’s near the “Thermal Vents” landmark.
3. The artifact spawns inside a small alcove within the fissure.
4. Note: This artifact has a 30-minute respawn timer. If it’s not there, you need to server hop or wait.

My Strategy: I recommend joining a private server or a low-population server to camp this spot. The pressure damage in the Deep Trench is high, so bring healing items.

2. Void Crystal (Rare)

Location: Hidden Cave (Zone 2)
Type: Puzzle Solve

This one is easy to miss. It is located in the starting zones but hidden behind a deceptive wall.

How to Find It:
1. Go to Zone 2 (The Kelp Forest).
2. Find the massive rock formation shaped like a Skull.
3. Walk behind the skull and look for a crack in the texture on the left eye socket.
4. Use your “Interact” key (E on PC, Y on Console) on the crack. A secret door will open.
5. The Void Crystal is floating in the center of the secret room.

3. Ancient Relic (Epic)

Location: Boss Drop: Leviathan
Type: Drop Item

You cannot find this on the ground; you have to fight for it.

How to Get It:
- You must defeat the Leviathan World Boss. This boss spawns every 4 hours in the “Open Ocean” region.
- The drop rate is roughly 5%.
- Pro Tip: If you are in a party, only the player who deals the most damage (MVP) gets the roll for the artifact. However, using a “Loot Share” potion allows everyone in the party to roll.

4. Sunken Crown (Legendary)

Location: Shipwreck Parkour
Type: Obby Completion

This artifact tests your movement skills.

How to Find It:
1. Head to the Sunken Ship landmark in Zone 3.
2. The artifact is located at the very top of the ship’s mast.
3. You must complete a parkour course on floating debris and rotting wood planks.
4. Falling resets you to the bottom.
5. Hint: Use the “Grappling Hook” tool to skip the hardest jumps. It is technically allowed and saves a lot of frustration.

5. Shadow Essence (Common)

Location: Night Spawn (World)
Type: Time-Sensitive

This is a unique artifact because it only spawns during the in-game night cycle.

How to Find It:
- Check your game clock. Wait until it hits 20:00 (8 PM).
- Go to any major city hub (Zone 1 or Zone 4).
- Look for dark purple particles floating near lamp posts.
- Simply walk through the particles to collect the Shadow Essence. It’s a 100% spawn every night, but you can only collect it once per account.

6. Neon Fragment (Rare)

Location: Bioluminescent Grove
Type: Collection

Visually stunning and moderately difficult to spot.

How to Find It:
- Enter the Bioluminescent Grove in Zone 4.
- Look for a specific tree with Blue Neon Leaves that pulse to the beat of the game’s soundtrack.
- The fragment is nestled in the roots of this tree.
- It is often guarded by level 40 “Grove Protectors.” Clear the enemies before attempting to pick it up.

7. Titan’s Core (Epic)

Location: Underground Mine
Type: Mining Node

You need a pickaxe for this one.

How to Find It:
1. Enter the Mines in Zone 1.
2. Go deep until you reach the “Lava Cavern” layer (Level -500 depth).
3. Look for a “Diamond Node” that has a slightly orange tint (it differs from the regular red ruby nodes).
4. Mine it. It has a 10% chance to drop the Titan’s Core instead of a Diamond.

Step-by-Step Guide to the Toughest Artifacts

While some artifacts are just “find and click,” others require complex execution. Here is my detailed walkthrough for the hardest ones to get in 2026.

Obtaining the Abyssal Heart (The Survival Method)

The Deep Trench is lethal. Without preparation, you will die in seconds.

Gear Up: Equip the “Pressure Suit” (buyable from the merchant in Zone 4 for 5,000 Gold).
Route: Enter the trench from the North side. The South side has high-level aggressive mobs (Level 120 Sharks).
The Dive: Descend slowly. If you go too fast, your oxygen bar glitches and depletes instantly.
The Pickup: Once you see the Red Fissure, swim directly to it. Ignore the loot chests on the way—they are bait traps.
Escape: Teleport out immediately using a “Recall Stone.” Do not try to swim back up; the pressure damage stacks.

Soloing Leviathan for the Ancient Relic

Fighting Leviathan solo is tough but possible if you use this cheese strategy:

Weapon: Use a ranged weapon (Sniper Rifle or Magic Staff).
Positioning: Stand on the small rock pillar directly behind the spawn point. The Leviathan’s hitbox prevents it from melee attacking you there.
Phase 2: When the boss goes into Phase 2 (Enrage), jump down and run in circles. Use your invincibility frame (i-frame) dash to dodge the water beams.
Loot: Once dead, ensure you have inventory space! I’ve seen players kill it and lose the drop because their bag was full.

What Do Artifacts Do? (Stats & Buffs Explained)

It’s one thing to collect them, but knowing how to use them is key.

Passive Effects: All artifacts are passive. Once you pick them up, they are added to your “Archive” and apply their buff automatically to your character stats. You do not need to equip them in a slot.
Stacking: Do they stack? No. You cannot get two Abyssal Hearts to get +50% Health. The game registers the ID of the artifact and stops there.
Trading: Some artifacts (like Ancient Relic) are tradable, while others (like Sunken Crown) are bound to your account (“Soulbound”). Be careful when buying from other players—check the item description for the “Tradable” tag.

Pro Tips for Farming Artifacts

Over my hours of hunting, I’ve learned a few tricks that make the process much smoother.

Server Hop Strategically: Don’t just switch servers randomly. Join servers with high ping (200ms+). Strangely, these servers often have fewer players farming spawns, increasing your chances of finding world-spawn artifacts.
Use Audio Cues: The Void Crystal and Neon Fragment emit a faint humming sound. Turn your game music down and sound effects up. You can often hear them before you see them.
Check the Patch Notes: Developers often move artifacts to prevent “AFK Farming.” Always check the official Discord for the latest hotfixes before you start a 2-hour grind session.
Dungeon Artifacts: Some artifacts are hidden inside dungeons but not as boss drops. Check behind the throne in the “Frozen King” dungeon. There is a 1% chance a secret room spawns there containing a “Frost Shard” (not listed in standard guides yet!).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ignoring Oxygen: The most common death cause in Abyss is running out of oxygen while hunting the Abyssal Heart. Always bring “Oxygen Tanks” (consumable).
Wrong Time: Trying to find the Shadow Essence during the day is a waste of time. Check the sky!
Inventory Full: Always keep 1 slot open in your inventory for pickups. If your inventory is full, the artifact pickup prompt won’t appear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you lose Artifacts in Abyss?

No, once you collect a Secret Artifact, it is permanently unlocked in your character’s stats. You cannot drop it or lose it upon death.

Do Artifacts stack in Abyss?

No, unique artifacts do not stack. You cannot collect two “Void Crystals” to get double Mana Regen. However, the artifact buff does stack with potion buffs and gear stats.

What is the rarest Artifact in Abyss?

Currently, the “Phantom Mirror” (not listed in the main table as it is an event item) is the rarest. However, regarding obtainable items, the Ancient Relic from the Leviathan boss is the hardest to get due to the low drop rate and raid difficulty.

Where is the Sunken Crown located?

The Sunken Crown is located at the very top of the mast of the Sunken Ship in Zone 3. It requires completing a parkour obstacle course to reach.

Do I need a specific level to get Artifacts?

Most artifacts do not have a strict level lock to pick up, but the areas they are located in often require high levels or specific gear (like the Rebreather) to access safely.

Conclusion

Collecting all Secret Artifacts in Abyss is a rite of passage for end-game players. It takes patience, skill, and a bit of luck, but the stat boosts are absolutely worth the effort. From the deep depths required for the Abyssal Heart to the tricky parkour of the Sunken Crown, I hope this guide helps you fill your collection.

Happy Hunting.
