In Rogue Genesia, artifacts are powerful passive items that provide significant boosts to your stats and offer various unique benefits. With 36 artifacts currently available, they play a key role in enhancing gameplay and helping you navigate the game’s challenges. Of these, 9 artifacts are exclusive to Rog’s Mode, adding an extra layer of variety to the game. Here, we’ll dive into how to obtain these artifacts and provide a detailed tier list to help you understand which ones are the most valuable.
How to Obtain Artifacts
Rog’s Mode
In Rog’s Mode, artifacts can be found in several ways:
- Shop: Artifacts can be purchased in the shop.
- Chest Stages: Artifacts are available as rewards from chest stages.
- Elite Stages: Completing elite stages can also grant you artifacts.
There is no artifact limit in Rog’s Mode, allowing you to collect and utilize as many as you want.
Survivors Mode
In Survivors Mode, there are 12 artifacts available:
- Boss Fights: 6 artifacts are rewarded after boss fights, which occur at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes. At the 15 and 30-minute marks, players can pick from a selection of 5 artifacts.
- Crates: Another 6 artifacts are dropped randomly in crates scattered across the map. Every time a crate doesn’t drop an artifact, the odds of finding one increase (ranging from 0.25% to 10%), and the chances are reset after an artifact drop.
