Where to Get Artifacts in Lightyear Frontier

To find the Artifacts in Lightyear Frontier, you should be on the lookout for ruins, which you can locate as soon as you start your adventure and travel outside the starting zone. These ruins are very hard to miss, as they’re completely different from your surrounding foliage and have purple/violet highlights along with concrete textures.

If you look closely within the ruins, you’ll find small objects on the ground or sometimes on a raised platform. When you approach these items closely and press the E button, a message will pop up on your screen saying you have unearthed an artifact.

In my experience, every region has different distributions of artifacts, but the ruins are by far the best places to look out for. Do note that some artifacts in Lightyear Frontier can be hidden under tree stumps, and you might have to drop out of your mech to collect them.

How to Use Artifacts in Lightyear Frontier

Artifacts in Lightyear Frontier are essentially collectibles that offer certain bonuses when you find all of them in a specific region, like special decorations for your homestead. The process can take some time, as they’re easily located in some areas, but not so much in other areas.

While the decorations don’t affect your farming activities, they’re pretty fun and unique. Make sure to check out our farming guide to understand the basics of growing crops in Lightyear Frontier.
