All Sealed Abyss Artifact Locations

Find all 141 Sealed Abyss Artifacts in Crimson Desert to unlock Challenges for trophies. Locations listed by region, including Hernand and Demeniss.

Sealed Abyss Artifacts are collectibles in Crimson Desert that unlock Challenges. All Challenges are required for trophies and achievements, making these artifacts a prerequisite for the Platinum trophy and 1000 Gamerscore. They can be found in the open world at any time, appearing as purple icons on the minimap when nearby. They are located along roads and are not marked on the main map. You can use the sword’s Guiding Light ability (CTRL + Left Click) to see a blue glimmer when they are close. There are 141 total artifacts, gating all Mastery, Combat, and Life Challenges. The most efficient method is to reveal the map by activating all 8 hidden bells and collecting fast travel points first, which aids navigation and road visibility. This guide lists the artifacts by region and proximity to streamline collection.
