Artifact of the Depths — Detailed Guide

One of the Aberration artifacts

Three artifacts came with Aberration: the Artifact of the Depths, the Artifact of the Shadows and the Artifact of the Stalker. This one is a cave find that goes into the tributes for generating portals, and it is recorded in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki adds Crystal Isles as a second map where it can be found. The item text opens with "Found within the depths of the Aberration." and warns that an organism can carry only one at a time. It weighs 5 and stacks to 1.

Where to find it

On Aberration the artifact lies in the Old Railway Cave, and on Crystal Isles it is in the Water Cave. Respawn takes 3 minutes and 15 seconds on a server and 30 minutes in singleplayer. Our records list one crate type for it, the Aberration Artifact Depths crate.

Portals that need it

In ASA the artifact goes into 3 recipes, 1 artifact each: the Generate Aberration (Alpha) Portal, the Generate Aberration (Beta) Portal and the Generate Aberration (Gamma) Portal. ASE counts 4, adding the Generate Crystal Wyvern Queen (Beta) Portal to those three.
