Artifact of the Devious — Detailed Guide
One of the cave artifacts
Found in caves, the Artifact of the Devious is recorded for both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki ties it to The Center, Ragnarok, Crystal Isles and Lost Island. Its item text reads: "With craft and cunning, to look out for one's self may be essential to survival." A second line warns that an organism can carry only one of them at a time.
Crates that hold it
Our records list two loot crates that can contain it: Island Artifact Devious, recorded for The Center, Ragnarok, Crystal Isles and Lost Island, and The Center Artifact Devious, recorded for The Center and Ragnarok. To find them, the wiki refers to its interactive Explorer Maps. Each artifact weighs 5 and has a stack size of 1.
Tributes that take it
The artifact is an ingredient in tributes, and the recorded uses differ between the games. In ASE our records show 5 tributes, each taking 1 artifact:
- Generate Ragnarok (Easy) Portal, Generate Ragnarok (Medium) Portal and Generate Ragnarok (Hard) Portal
Generate Dinopithecus King (Alpha) Portal- Generate Crystal Wyvern Queen (Gamma) Portal
In ASA the 3 recorded uses are
