Unique Artifacts

Discover unique weapons, shields, dragon stones, and key items in Chronos: The New Dawn. Learn where to find them and how they help you navigate the Labyrinth.

Hey there! So, you're diving into the world of Chronos and wondering about all those special items you can find? Let's talk about the unique ones that can really make a difference in your journey through the Labyrinth. Most of the items you'll stumble upon are pretty straightforward – they'll heal you up or give your weapon a little boost. But some are way more important, especially the ones that help you solve puzzles or give you an edge against tough enemies. You start with a few basic tools, like the Iron Sword (Damage: 45, Agility Affinity: 1.5) and the Wooden Shield (Block: 200), but there's a whole lot more to discover! ### Weapons When you're looking to upgrade your offensive capabilities, keep an eye out for these: * Krell Hammer: Damage: 90 (+0), Strength Affinity: 1.3. This beastly hammer is found in the Cyclops Tower, behind the first Cyclops Eye door. It's all about raw power. * Krell Sword: You can snag this if your starting weapon was the Iron Axe. It's hidden behind a rotating statue in the Krell kitchen. If you started with the Iron Sword, you'll need to trade it for this. * Krell Axe: Damage: 62 (+0), Strength Affinity: 1.6. Another Krell creation, this axe is located behind a rotating statue past the Krell kitchen. Like the Krell Sword, its availability depends on your starting weapon. Trade your Iron Axe for it if you started with the Iron Sword. * Morning Star: Damage: 70 (+0), Strength Affinity: 1.2. This weapon is a mix of speed and destruction. The Krell Blacksmith will give it to you in exchange for the Golem's Eye. * Pan Spear: Damage: 75 (+0), Agility Affinity: 0.6. A weapon that's as graceful as it is deadly. You'll find it deeper in the building before the Pan Forest. * Labyrinthine Scythe: Damage: 30 (+0), Agility Affinity: 1.8. This scythe feels a bit unsettling, but it can slice through foes with incredible grace. ### Shields Defense is key, and these shields offer some serious protection: * Krell Kite Shield: Block: 300. This massive shield offers the most protection but can't be used for parrying as quickly as smaller shields. It's on a wall in the Krell dining room. * Pan Buckler: Block: 100. Smaller and faster than the Kite Shield, this one is great for quick parries, though it offers less overall protection. ### Dragon Stones These stones imbue your attacks with elemental power: * Fire Stone: Adds fire damage to your heavy and counter attacks, boosts attack and movement speed. It's automatically given to you, so you can't miss it. * Sun Stone: Adds sunlight damage, grants temporary invincibility. You'll find this behind a locked wooden door one floor below the Krell Guardian. * Lightning Stone: Adds lightning damage, increases stagger. Look for this behind an illusory wall in a building before the Pan Forest. * Shadow Stone: Drains enemy life when activated. This one's description is a bit mysterious, but it sounds powerful! ### Consumables & Upgrade Materials These items help you stay alive and improve your gear: * Imbued Dragon Heart: Use the KEY prompt when wounded to restore your health. A lifesaver! * Inert Dragon Heart: This recharges automatically when you die. Handy! * Dragon Shard: Use the KEY prompt on a weapon to upgrade it. You'll find these dropped by enemies or in Dragon Inscribed Boxes. * Rare Dragon Shard: A better version of the Dragon Shard for more powerful upgrades. * Dragon Oil: Combine this with Dragon Shards to create Rare Dragon Shards. Don't skip this step if you want the best upgrades! ### Key Items These are essential for progressing through the game: * Small Key: Needed to open the very first portal in the facility. * Master Key: Found in a library bookcase in the Cyclops Tower. This looks like it can open a lot of locks. * Climbing Rope: Combines a sturdy rope with a hook, perfect for scaling vertical spaces. * Bag of Corn: Found in the Krell kitchen. It's too small for harvesting, so it's likely for something else. ### Other Notable Items * Silver Locket: Found in the Krell Princess' bedroom. It's intricately made and suggests a noble owner. * Dragon Inscribed Box: These boxes, often found throughout the Labyrinth, usually contain Dragon Shards. * Golem Eye: This is what's left of a Stone Golem. * Pan Embalming Hook: Found on an embalming table. Its purpose is a bit grim, but it's a unique tool. * Pan Rope: Found deeper in the building before the Pan Forest. It's surprisingly sturdy for its light weight. Remember to keep an eye out for these items as you explore. They can make a huge difference in your fight for survival in Chronos!
