What are Risk of Rain 2 artifacts?
All of the Artifacts you and your teammates have unlocked in Risk of Rain 2 are pooled, and you may enable any one you want as you see fit.
How do I unlock Risk of Rain 2 artifacts?
The first step in unlocking a Risk of Rain 2 artifact is to input an artifact code at the Sky Meadow through the Compound Generator shown below the map. After this, a portal opens up that takes you to the artifacts' specific trial in Bulwarks Ambry. The Compound Generator cycles between square, circle, triangle, and diamond inputs.
The artifact you're aiming to unloack is activated at the start of the run, along with any artifacts you've enabled at the start of the run. An artifact key spawns on an elevated block, which you need to pick up and use to interact with the artifact reliquary, triggering monsters to spawn and it's time to get fightin.
As monsters die, some drop more artifact keys. Using these artifact keys removes them from all player inventories, preventing anyone from hoarding keys.
Once you've killed all of the baddies and destroyed the artifact reliquary, you may claim the artifact you've been fighting for and return to the initial stage.
