Every Risk of Rain 2 artifact code in one place - including the new Artifact of Prestige from the Alloyed Collective DLC. Enter codes on the Compound Generator in Sky Meadow or Helminth Hatchery, then complete the Bulwark's Ambry trial to unlock. The Artifact of Rebirth is the only artifact with no code - it requires defeating False Son.
Reach Sky Meadow (Stage 5) or Helminth Hatchery (SotS DLC). Drop through one of the two floor doors to reach the Compound Generator below the island.
Use the 9 switches on the Compound Generator to set your 3x3 pattern. Each switch cycles through: ■ Square → ● Circle → ▲ Triangle → ♦ Diamond.
Interact with the laptop next to the generator to submit the code. If correct, a red Artifact Portal spawns. You can skip the teleporter event entirely and go straight through the portal.
The portal leads to Bulwark's Ambry. Kill enemies to collect Artifact Keys. Use keys one at a time on the Artifact Reliquary. Destroy it to unlock the artifact.
After entering a valid code at the Compound Generator, the Artifact Portal appears immediately. You can go straight through it without activating or completing the teleporter event. This skips the rest of the stage.
When you use an Artifact Key on the Reliquary, ALL keys in your inventory are consumed at once. Pick up one key, use it, then pick up the next. Never carry more than one at a time or you waste them.
Visual code grids for every artifact. Colors match the symbol type: ■ Square, ● Circle, ▲ Triangle, ♦ Diamond.
Friendly fire enabled for survivors and monsters.
Replace all item drops with Command Essences - choose exactly which item you want.
When one player dies, everyone dies. Solo runs unaffected.
Gamble your items after teleporter events. Win for more, lose to give them up.
Replace broken drones with Lemurian Eggs. Offer an item to hatch a Lemurian follower.
Monsters can appear outside their usual environments.
Spawn with random equipment that changes every time it is activated.
Monsters gain items between stages.
Fall damage is doubled and lethal.
Allies deal 500% damage but have 10% health. Extreme glass cannon mode.
Enemies can only spawn as elites.
Monsters will be of only one type per stage.
Players always spawn as a random survivor.
Guarantees at least one Shrine of the Mountain per stage. Shrine effects are permanent.
Start each run with a random Common item or a gifted item from a previous run.
Monsters drop items on death. Chests no longer spawn.
Wisps emerge from defeated monsters.
Enemies drop multiple exploding bombs on death.
Monster spawns doubled, monster max health halved.
Your doppelganger invades every 10 minutes with your exact items.
The classic. Command lets you choose every item, Glass multiplies damage 5x. High burst damage with full control over your build.
Double monster spawns (Swarms) means double item drops (Sacrifice). Snowballs fast - but no chests means no safety net.
Triple stack. Every double-spawned monster drops an item and you choose which one. Incredibly fast item ramp at the cost of all chest safety.
Every monster is an elite (Honor) and they gain items between stages (Evolution). Extremely dangerous late game but great for challenge runners.
Kin restricts spawns to one monster type per stage. Dissonance lets any monster type appear anywhere. Combined: one random monster type floods every stage.
Guaranteed Shrine of the Mountain every stage with permanent effects. Best run alongside Eclipse for challenge runners who want harder teleporter events.
Reach Sky Meadow (Stage 5) or Helminth Hatchery (SotS DLC). Drop through a floor door to reach the Compound Generator below the island. Set the 9 switches to your 3x3 pattern using the cycle order: Square, Circle, Triangle, Diamond. Then interact with the laptop to submit. A red Artifact Portal spawns if the code is correct.
No. You can enter the Compound Generator and go through the Artifact Portal before activating the teleporter. Going through the portal skips the rest of the stage entirely.
There are four symbols: Square (■), Circle (●), Triangle (▲), and Diamond (♦). Each switch on the Compound Generator cycles through them in that order. The 9 switches form a 3x3 grid matching the pattern on each artifact's stone tablet.
After entering a correct code and going through the portal, you arrive in Bulwark's Ambry. An Artifact Key spawns in front of the Artifact Reliquary. Kill enemies to get more keys. Use one key at a time on the Reliquary - using a key consumes all keys in your inventory at once, so don't stockpile them. Destroy the Reliquary to unlock the artifact.
Artifact of Rebirth has no code. You must defeat the False Son boss (SotS DLC) and then interact with the Shrine of Rebirth that appears after the fight. Offer an item to it. This completes the Experienced Rebirth challenge and unlocks the artifact.
Yes. You can enable any combination of unlocked artifacts at the start of a new run from the lobby screen. In multiplayer, any artifact unlocked by any player in the lobby is available to the whole team.
Each artifact's code is engraved on a stone tablet hidden somewhere in the game world. For example, Command is in the Bazaar Behind Time, Sacrifice is at the Gilded Coast, and Vengeance is in A Moment, Fractured. The quick reference table above lists every location.
The Artifact of Command code is ■■■ ■■■ ▲▲▲ - three rows of squares on top, then three triangles on the bottom row. Found in the Bazaar Between Time.
