Artifacts

Artifacts in Abyss are equippable items that grant random stat buffs and debuffs. Each artifact rolls a random tier for each of its stats -- higher tiers give better buffs and lower debuffs. Artifacts can stack, letting you combine multiple pieces for stronger passives. This guide covers every artifact, their stat ranges, and which geodes they come from.

How Artifacts Work

Artifacts are obtained by cracking Geodes at Virelia's station in Forgotten Deep. Each geode type contains a specific pool of artifacts at different rarities. When you equip an artifact, each stat it provides gets a random tier roll:

• Stats range from Worst (red) to Best (green).
• Buffs increase with higher tiers. Debuffs decrease with higher tiers (and may even flip to become buffs at the best rolls).
• You can equip multiple artifacts, and their stats stack.

Mossy Geode Artifacts

Mossy Geodes are the first geode type you'll encounter, found in Forgotten Deep chests.

Artifact	Rarity	Stats (Worst to Best)
Banana	Common	Speed: +0.75 to +1.5 / Damage: +1% to +1.6%
Sea Star	Common	Oxygen: +5% to +8%
Hour Glass	Uncommon	Cooldown: -0.1s to -0.22s
Fish Bag	Rare	Weight: +8kg to +20kg
Feather	Rare	Speed: +2 to +3.5 / Damage: -5% to -0.5%
Poop	Epic	XP: -5% to -2.9% / Damage: +9% to +15%
Holy Flower	Legendary	Oxygen: -7% to -1% / Speed: +1.75 to +3.25 / Damage: +7% to +13%

Mossy Geode Artifact Breakdown

• Banana is a basic Common artifact. The Speed and Damage buffs are small but free stats.
• Sea Star provides a clean Oxygen boost with no downsides. Good for extending dive times.
• Hour Glass at Uncommon gives Cooldown reduction, which directly translates to faster DPS.
• Fish Bag is one of the most useful artifacts: up to +20kg Weight capacity at best tier. Pair this with high-capacity tubes to maximize haul size.
• Feather trades Damage for Speed. At worst tier, you lose 5% Damage. At best, you only lose 0.5% -- nearly free Speed.
• Poop (Epic) is a Damage powerhouse: up to +15% Damage, but you sacrifice XP gain. Worth it if you're farming for cash, not leveling.
• Holy Flower (Legendary) is the best Mossy artifact. At best rolls, it gives +3.25 Speed, +13% Damage, and only -1% Oxygen -- practically all upside.

Cactus Geode Artifacts

Cactus Geodes are found in Ancient Sands chests. They contain artifacts with stronger stats but more pronounced debuffs at low tiers.

[NEEDS VERIFICATION] -- The full Cactus Geode artifact list with exact stat ranges was not fully available in the scraped data. The following artifacts are confirmed to exist in this pool based on template references, but exact worst-to-best ranges require in-game verification for items beyond what the wiki had documented.

Rooted Geode Artifacts

Rooted Geodes are found in Spirit Roots chests. They contain the highest-tier artifacts in the game.

[NEEDS VERIFICATION] -- The full Rooted Geode artifact list with exact stat ranges was not fully available in the scraped data. These artifacts are confirmed to exist but detailed stat ranges need in-game verification.

Geode Types and Where to Find Them

Geode	Found In	Artifact Pool
Mossy Geode	Forgotten Deep chests	7 artifacts (Common through Legendary)
Cactus Geode	Ancient Sands chests	[NEEDS VERIFICATION]
?Rooted Geode	Spirit Roots chests	[NEEDS VERIFICATION]

All geodes are cracked by Virelia in Forgotten Deep. The Faster Geode Open gamepass (R$169) reduces cracking time by 50%.

Quests That Require Geodes

Several NPC quests involve cracking specific geode types:

Virelia's Quests (Geode-Focused)

• Quest 1: Crack 10 Mossy Geodes
• Quest 2: Crack 15 Cactus Geodes
• Quest 3: Crack 20 Rooted Geodes

Other NPC Quests

• Marcus Quest 3: Crack 3 Cactus Geodes
• Marcus Quest 4: Crack 3 Cactus Geodes
• Marcus Quest 6: Crack 5 Cactus Geodes
• Grumpy Hank Quest 3: Crack 7 Cactus Geodes
• Grumpy Hank Quest 4: Crack 14 Cactus Geodes
• Victor Quest 3: Crack 5 Rooted Geodes

• Golem Quest 2: Crack 10 Rooted Geodes
• Lost Captain Quests 2-4: Crack 20-30 Geodes (any type)

Tips for Artifact Farming

• Stack Fish Bag artifacts from Mossy Geodes to push your weight capacity higher. Multiple Fish Bags combine, letting you carry significantly more fish per trip.
• Poop + Holy Flower is a strong Damage combination from Mossy Geodes alone (up to +15% + +13% = +28% Damage at best rolls).
• Hour Glass artifacts stack their Cooldown reductions, making your gun fire noticeably faster.
• Focus on cracking the geode type that matches your current progression biome. Mossy for early game, Cactus for mid game, Rooted for late game.

Frequently Asked Questions About Artifacts

Can I re-roll artifact stats?

No. Once an artifact is obtained, its stat tiers are fixed. You need to crack more geodes for better rolls.

How many artifacts can I equip at once?

Artifacts stack, meaning you can equip multiple. The exact slot limit is not specified in the wiki data. [NEEDS VERIFICATION]

Which geode is best for artifacts?

Rooted Geodes from Spirit Roots contain the strongest artifacts, but Mossy Geodes are still useful for the Fish Bag and Holy Flower.

Does the Faster Geode Open gamepass affect anything besides speed?

No. It only reduces the animation/cracking time by 50%. It does not change artifact drop rates or rarity odds.
