How to get all Artifacts in Fields of Mistria

I always wanted to be an Archaeologist

As you go about your daily life in Fields of Mistria, you’ll often find yourself in possession of Artifacts. These rare historically significant items can be donated to the museum, sold, or gifted to villagers in order to increase friendship.

There are a lot of Artifacts to collect, and some are much more rare and difficult to find than others. There’s a lot of luck involved, but there are some ways to maximize your chances to get specific items if they’re missing from your collection.

At the time of writing, there are a total of 65 Artifacts waiting to be discovered. They can be found in a variety of ways:

  • Digging up Dig Spots in both Mistria and inside the Mines
  • Through Fishing
  • By exploring Dive Spots in the water

Artifacts are grouped into sets of five, and each set can be found in a specific location. These sets also correspond to collections within the Museum. Once you complete a collection, you’ll earn a reward. 

Some of these items are very rare, so it’s a good idea to do the rounds every day in order to search out Dig Spots and Dive Spots to maximize potential of finding all of them. Each new Artifact that you find will be shown as a silhouetted bag with a white question mark on it, only revealing what’s inside once it’s used from within your inventory.
