Artifacts

Artifacts are rewards for winning Underworld Encounters which either benefit Zagreus 's current escape attempt or can be spent to obtain permanent benefits on future attempts.

Currency Artifacts
These can be spent on permanent upgrades and are obtained from standard Encounters. These resources persist after a run (i.e., they are not lost whether or not Zagreus succeeded in escaping) and can be used back in the House of Hades.

Bounty Artifacts
These can be spent on permanent upgrades and are obtained by completing Bounties.

Other Artifacts
These artifacts improve Zagreus's power in his current escape attempt. The benefits these grant will be lost after a run ends. With the exception of the Loyalty Card, Red Onion, and Anvil of Fates, all of these Artifacts are rewards for normal Encounters.
