All Artifacts and how to get them in Stardew Valley
Each specific💞 Artifact can be found through a variety of di🅷fferent methods, although not all Artifacts allow you to find them using all of the above-mentioned methods. When it comes to Artifacts that can be obtained through Artifact Spots, each shows up in select locations, while some can’t be found this way at all. You can also use a Treasure Totem in any location, and each spot that you create will stand a chance to reward you with an Artifact that would usually show up in the same area.
It’s all a little overwhelming if you’re new or unsure, but I’ve got you covered. Here are all of the Artifacts in Stardew Valley, where you need to look for them, and all of the ways that you c🍌an get each.
