— Guide to Minecraft Dungeons: A Handbook for Heroes |
The term artifact refers to a category of items that can equipped by the hero to temporarily summon pets, enhance, or heal themselves, or attack and weaken mobs. The hero can have three artifacts equipped at any one time.
There are currently 44 known artifacts. This includes a single Unique, the Corrupted Pumpkin. All are obtainable except for the Totem of Soul Protection.
Contents
Obtaining[]
Artifacts are obtainable from the Mystery Merchant, Luxury Merchant and Village Merchant at Camp, during Missions from obsidian chests and Piggy Banks, and when mission is completed.
Cooldown[]

Cooldown Sequence
Artifacts have a cooldown period between uses, during which they cannot be used, unequipped, or switched with a different Artifact from the inventory. Artifact cooldowns are independent from one another and not shared: equipping two Corrupted Beacons and using one will only initiate a cooldown on the one that was used.
Cooldowns can be reduced by equipping armor with cooldown reduction properties, such as the Evocation Robe and its unique variants, or enchanting armor with Cool Down. Cooldown Shot can also be used to trim down cooldown time on artifacts that are already on cooldown.
Damaging Artifacts[]
Artifacts that output damage to mobs with no other notable affects.

Trivia[]
- Prior to 1.5.0.0, there were never any unique artifacts. This changed with the Spooky Fall seasonal event, and the Corrupted Pumpkin was added, making it the first (and to date only) unique artifact in Minecraft Dungeons.
