Champion Artifacts appear as floating green icons hidden throughout
the game. There are 6 Champion Artifacts in the game. These can be sold
to Vulgrim for 1000 Souls a piece. You get a Lifestone for collecting
all 6.
1 //
Twilight Cathedral
In the north wing of the cathedral, a Champion Artifact floats high in
a room in the northeast corner of the structure. Use the Shadow Geyser
to reach it.
2 //
The Hollows
In
the northeast corner of the dungeon is a long room with what appear to
be several pumps in the northern area and a deep trench with demonic
growth in the south. After you fill this area with water (see the
Walkthrough) you can swim down in the trench to find a pipe leading
north. Follow this back and look for a Champion Artifact in a chamber
above you.
3 //
Iron Canopy
This
requires the Abyssal Chain. Just west of the room where you fought the
second Loom Warden is a room with two short pasages leading west. Take
the south passage and look for a chain hook at the top of the small
room. Use the Abyssal Chain to grapple up to the ledge and score the
Champion Artifact. It's high above the room with the bomb block and
elevators.
4 //
Scalding Gallow / Drowned Pass Access Tunnel
Warp to the Scalding Gallow and take the
western exit to the Drowned Pass Access Tunnel. Head down to the room
with the large, rotating fan blades. In the south part of this room,
look for a gap in the wall below where the fan blade spins. You can
leap off a fan blade and float down into this area.
As you float downward, look up for a blue chain
grip. You can grapple this with the Abyssal Chain to find a secret area
with a Champion Artifact.
5 //
Black Throne
On the highest floor of the Black Throne
is a room with a floating block in the center with two window portals
on it. This room is just beyond a locked door -- you can reach it from
the main chamber with Azrael at the bottom, just climb to the very top
of the cylinder. Use the Geyser to float to the ledge just beyond it
along the wall. Run up the stairs on the side of the room and use the
ground portal nearby to warp up to a higher level.
Examine the floating block in the middle of the
level from this vantage point. Charge the Voidwalker and shoot the
visible window on the top of the floating block. Backtrack to the
portal windows you just used on the ground, shoot one of them and hop
in to be ejected out of the portal atop the floating block. You'll fly
right into a Champion Artifact.
6 //
Choking Grounds / Broken Stair Access Tunnel
You'll need the Tremor Gauntlet for this one. Warp to the Vulgrim
Location in the Choking Grounds and head to the northeast corner. Enter
the Broken Stair Access Tunnel and run to the place with two blue
Geysers. Between these you'll find a clump of blue crystals. Destroy
these with the Tremore Gauntlet to score this Artifact.
Overlord Artifact
There is one Overlord Artifact in the game, and it's located in the
Ashlands. It's worth 5,000 Souls (wow!) and selling it to Vulgrim will
land you an additional Wrath Core. Though we'll have a full description
of it eventually, you should know for now that it is in the Ashlands
and can only be accessed once you have the Abyssal Chain. More coming
soon!

Ashlands
This requires the Abyssal Chain. In the
Ashlands, head for the fourth wooden tower -- the northernmost one. You
can access this strip of towers near the Soul Bridge entrance.
You'll
need to slow down time in the first tower and climb up and over the
Demonic Growth to get to the northern towers. In the northernmost
tower, climb the Demonic Growth to the second tier (above the spinning
blade) and throw the switch.
This
should drop the Chronosphere down to the level with the spinning blade.
Use the Chronosphere to cross to the other side of the spinning blade
(climb across the Growth on the roof). Now, use the Growth on the outer
wall to climb to the high walkway between the two northern towers.
Your
goal is the very top of the north tower. While standing on the walkway
between the towers, look directly up. A blue chain hook point is here.
Grapple this with the Abyssal Chain to reach the top of the north
tower. Hit the switch to stop the drill.
Drop down into the hole below the drill bit and follow the cave back to the Overlord Artifact. It's worth 5000 Souls!
