Given how streamlined everything is in Minecraft Dungeons, you’ll want to keep a close eye on your Artifacts. These provide different abilities, each with their own cooldown timers, and can range from increased defense and movement speed to shooting fire arrows. Some Artifacts can synergize with different gear (and each other) for devastating results – like stacking +1 Soul Gathering for Artifact abilities that require souls to use.
You’ll find Artifacts as random drops from foes, after completing different levels and within chests. There are three slots for Artifacts on your character – simply drop an Artifact in a slot and you gain its abilities. Since all items contribute to the overall Power of your character, equipping a higher Power Artifact will raise your Power level. It’s also worth noting that certain Artifact effects will become stronger at higher Power levels. Unfortunately, you can’t upgrade Artifacts – higher Power versions can only be obtained at random.
Here are nearly all of the Artifacts in the game along with their respective abilities and cooldown timers.
