Tales of Arise

Release:09/10/2021

All artifacts (cheats) in Tales of Arise

Collected artifacts are found in the game menu under Field Manual → Artifacts listed. Here you can also switch their effects on and off if the cheats influence the game too much. There are even 31 artifacts in total, the other 8 can only be unlocked via certain DLCs.

If you want to unlock the highest level of difficulty “Chaos” or if you want to transfer your collected items and equipment to a New Game Plus, you will even have to find certain artifacts, because these enable you to do so. We therefore generally recommend that you collect all 38 owls in Tales of Arise, as the last owls will unlock the relevant artifacts for the New Game Plus.

For example, some artifacts give you an experience or FP boost of 80% and are therefore very useful if you want to reach level 100 quickly. If you have collected 20 of the 23 artifacts you will be able to participate “Dilettante” and “Curious collector” also free two of the trophies and achievements of Tales of Arise.
