Ark Aberration Artifacts Locations Guide

This guide will tell you the exact locations for all the Artifacts found on the Ark Aberration expansion map.

To trigger special boss fights, you will need to collect all 3 artifacts in Ark Aberration. But you will find these hidden deep in caves lurking with dangerous creatures.

It’s wise to take Bulbdog with you while exploring the cave. These artifacts mostly respawn after 30 minutes and the player can carry one artifact of each type at a time. The following guide highlights the locations of the artifact of depths, shadows, and stalkers in Ark Aberration.

Artifact of Depths Location in Ark Aberration

The Artifact of Depths is one of the easiest artifacts to get in the early game. The entrance of the cave can be found at 48.3 Latitude and 27 Longitude near the lake.

TIP

Bring a zipline, shotgun, and light to get to the artifact. If you want to take a tame with you, Ravager or anything small would be good.

The cave is a one-way road; use notice crystals inside the wall as markers and keep going until you get to a tunnel with a water area and move toward the waterfall. From this point, move toward the crystal formation area on the left.

Move right and proceed going forward; this will take you to the bottom of the waterfall area. Now, move down the thin bridge above the right side. Now look down the water and you will see an opening. Jump into the water and enter the area.

Now, move to the top of the cliff and go past the narrow pathway to enter a large chamber. Now, jump to the other side of the area and follow the crystals on the wall as markers. When you get to the pillar that has a glow, continue straight for some time, turn right, and move straight till you get to some metal structures. This is where you get the artifact at 51.2 Latitude and 23.8 Longitude.

Artifact of Shadows Location in Ark Aberration

The artifact of shadows is located in Hidden Gronto, and the cave entrance can be found at 55.4 Latitude and 65.7 Longitude. Get a climbing pick, zip-line anchor, and journeyman flak leggings.

TIP

We recommend using a Bulbdog for this; just max out its melee damage and health stats; you can also get the artifact on foot, but it will be extremely difficult.

Drop straight into the water and swim down to the yellow crystal to a small opening. From the second yellow crystal, make your way up and enter the cave. Once you reach the open area, either use a zip line or drop down to the ground area below near the water.

This water area will take you to the location of the artifact at 50.2 Latitude and 72.6 Longitude.

Artifact of Stalker Location in Ark Aberration

Artifact of Stalker is located in the Elemental Vault, and the cave you need to enter can be found at 80.9 Latitude and 47.3 Longitude.

TIP

You can use Bulbdog again for this and consider maxing out stamina as there will be a lot of climbing.

Climb to higher platform and make your way toward an area where you will find a small group higher level Megalosaurus and Carnotaurus. You can either fight or camouflage your way through them toward pink crystal area.

Follow the path and make your way up to the cave near the crystals on the wall.. Continue following the marking on the top, and you will be looking for an entrance with three crystals in the wall, as shown below.

Continue on the same path, keeping crystals as direction markers. You will find the artifact in a room filled with dinos at 91.7 Latitude and 51.3 Longitude.
