Learn how to find every Artifact in Tales of Arise, and how to use them. Artifacts are key items that provide various enhancements in Tales of Arise, affecting everything from rewards to combat changes. Additionally, some Artifacts provide passive effects that remain active once they're acquired in Tales of Arise, and others can be deactivated and reactivated at any time.

Tales of Arise has a total of 23 Artifacts to find, and most of them are found towards the end of the game. However, anyone who is looking to begin a New Game+ should find as many Artifacts as they can on their first playthrough because all Artifacts carry over. Unlocking Artifacts will also earn Tales of Arise Titles. Additionally, there are several Artifacts that are earned from a number of paid DLC packs, but everything listed below will contain the locations and uses for Artifacts found in the standard version of Tales of Arise.

For anyone that has already acquired DLC packs with Artifacts, simply claim the DLC from the in-game Unclaimed DLC list to claim the rewards. These Artifacts will immediately become part of the inventory, so there isn't anything further to find. For every other Artifact, several will be earned through in-game progression throughout Tales of Arise, while others can be found by completing challenges, opening chests, or finishing sub-quests.
