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!
1 // 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 theOverlord Artifact. It's worth 5000 Souls!
Soldier Artifacts
Soldier Artifacts appear as floating green icons hidden throughout the game. There are 20 Soldier Artifacts in the game. These can be sold to Vulgrim for 500 Souls a piece. You get a Lifestone for collecting all 20.
1 // The Crossroads
In the northwest corner of the streets, head down the subway entrance stairs leading to the subterranean area. Now, hop down into the pool below. Breach the surface by pressing ACTIVATE/INTERACT and swim towards the green icon marked on your map.
2 // Choking Grounds
Head to the gazebo in the center of the map. Here you'll find Vulgrim with his wares once again. Just north of the gazebo is a staircase leading down into the ground. Head down here to find a full compliment of enemies guarding a Soldier Artifact.
3 // Choking Grounds
Directly across the area to the south of Artifact 3 are three raised sarcophagi. The middle of these three stone coffins can be moved to reveal a staircase, just like the one you found in the north. Another pack of baddies guards this Soldier Artifact.
4 // The Broken Stair
From the entrance of The Broken Stair, run up the ramp and drop down into the trench to the west. Run a bit north to score the collectible.
5 // Twilight Cathedral
In the basement area of the South Wing, you can leap off some Demonic Growth to reach the Artifact suspended in the air -- you'll need to double-jump and glide to reach it.
6 // Twilight Cathedral
In the basement to the west of the room with the three angelic statues is a room with a long bridge over lava. Along the north side of this room near the gears at the bottom is a Soldier Artifact. Walk out to the middle of the bridge and jump north, floating down to the Artifact with ease.
7 // Drowned Pass
At the northern tip (start point) of the Drowned Pass, run off the edge of the waterfall and follow the cave shown on your map back to the Artifact.
8 // Drowned Pass
From the north tip of the area, jump in the water and swim due south and dive down. You'll come to two partially submerged buildings. Near the base of the northern building you should be able to swim right in through gaping holes in the structure. Swim in here and then swim through the rooms and up the stairs to find the Artifact.
9 // The Hollows
A deep pool lies in a room just to the south of the room where you lit the three gas leaks. Swim to the bottom to snag this Artifact.
10 // The Hollows
In the far southwestern corner of the map you'll find a room with three large platforms you can move via control panels on their surfaces. Jump up to the eastern platform and look south. In a nook here is a Soldier Artifact.
11 // Scalding Gallow / Dry Road Access Tunnel
In the far north end of the access tunnel is a pipe you must use hand grips to climb to. In one end of this pipe is a Soldier Artifact.
12 // Dry Road
At the far south end of the map, you'll find a Soldier Artifact on top of a ledge right out in the open.
13 // Ashlands
When you disable the drillbit on the surface and drop into the first, water-filled cave, swim all the way to the bottom of the pool and you'll see a Soldier Artifact in the southwest.
</font>14 // Ashlands
Just before the boss of the dungeon is a long cave with a deep pool in the middle of it. At the bottom of this pool is an Artifact.
15 // Iron Canopy
This artifact can be found in the alley in the far southwest corner of the dungeon map. A staircase in the northeast corner of the alley leads up to a dead end -- but you should be able to spot a Soldier Artifact on a ledge below. Double-jump off the stairs and glide down to it.
>
16 // Iron Canopy
At the bottom of the pit where the dungeon boss Silitha was impaled, look up to find a moving platform that you can activate with your Crossblade. This has a chain hook point attached to the bottom which you can use to get a lift back to the top floor. Instead of taking the platform all the way to the top, however, you should take it to the middle platform where you'll find a Soldier Artifact behind a spire of rock.
17 // Ashlands
On the eastern side of the level, to the north of the wood tower in the east, look for a strip of raised rock along the eastern border. The north side of this strip is accessible via a Geyser. Take this up and follow the strip south. Look for some Demonic Growth on the left. Climb this to find a Soldier Artifact tucked away against the eastern wall.
18 // Crossroads / Library
This requires the Abyssal Chain. Warp to the Crossroads using Vulgrim and enter the Library to the north. In the main room, look for an Abyssal Chain grip point along the eastern wall. Use this to get to the second level. Here you can double-jump and glide over to the Soldier Artifact on the west side.
19 // Black Throne
In the first room you come to after accessing the wing with the third Guardian, there's a Soldier Artifact on the southern ledge. Shoot the portal on the ceiling (do NOT charge this shot) with the Voidwalker and then use the wall portal to warp up to it. Float down onto the southern platform to score the Artifact.
20 // Black Throne
On the far side of the bridge section leading to the third guardian is a room where you must use the Voidwalker portals to transfer water. At the bottom of the northwest wing is a Soldier Artifact.
Life Stone Shards
Life Stone Shards are ten Lifestones to be had in Darksiders -- which means you can increase your life to ten health bars. You can gain entire Lifestones for defeating the five main bosses: Tiamat (Twilight Cathedral), The Griever (Hollows), The Stygian (Ashlands), Silitha (Iron Canopy) and Straga (The Black Throne). The remaining Lifestones must be assembled by collecting Lifestone Shards. Lifestone Shards can be found in Chests hidden throughout the game and one can be purchased at a Vulgrim location. Collect four Shards to create a Lifestone and extend your health permanently.
1 // Library
In the main room of the Library, jump down into the crater in the middle of the room and into the pool. Swim down and around in the submarine passage to find the chest with this Lifestone Shard.
2 // Choking Grounds
There are seven gravestones adorned with crosses in the cemetery. You can destroy these for a secret chest. The are all in the immediate area around the gazebo (not in the streets etc.) and easy to spot with the exception, possibly, of one on a small hill behind the stairs leading down in the northwest corner of the cemetery. The chest appears in the southwest by the three sarcophagi.
3 // The Broken Stair
Look for some stairs leading down in the southeast region of the map. Vulgrim is set up at the end of the western tunnel. Swim through the submerged tunnel in the east to discover a chest with a Lifestone Shard within.
4 // The Broken Stair
Use the Geysers to proceed east across the broken highway. A chest is on one of these platforms, behind a row of cars, and it contains a Shard.
5 // Twilight Cathedral
In the first room in the north wing of the Cathedral (after you place the Crystal Blade in the statue's hands along the northern side of the main gallery), look for a hole in the south wall. You should be able to spot some of the explosive red crystal you detonated earlier in the South Wing. You can use the bombs in this room to destroy this and reveal a chest with a Lifestone Shard within. You'll need pluck a bomb, run towards the hole in the wall -- you can target the explosive crystals by clicking the RIGHT STICK and pass the cursor over them -- jump and toss the bomb through the hole. Perform this maneuver correctly and the shard is yours.
6 // Drowned Pass
Look for a submerged crystal switch nearby just to the west of the two buildings in the central pool. If you hit the switch, the platform it's on will float to the surface. You can find a high and dry path leading up to, and across, this platform by swimming a bit to the south. Use the platform to cross to the Lifestone Shard.
7 // Hollows
In the northeast section of The Hollows, you'll find a room with a few gas leaks and some parked train cars. Head north and look behind the train cars -- a chest Lifestone Shard is behind the trains.
8 // Choking Grounds
Head to the tall building in the northeast corner of the map. You can enter this via a tunnel off the ramp leading to the Broken Stair. Jump down into the building and then use the Geyser to fly up inside of it. On the second floor, use your Crossblade to carry fire from the torch to the bomb on the red crystals. This will allow you to climb higher. Smash the blue crystals on the second floor to find a chest with a Lifestone Shard within.
9 // Dry Road
In the southern area of the map you'll find a chest on a ledge with this chest on it. It's to the east of the Vulgrim location.

|}
12 // Black Throne
This Shard can be accessed in the hallway above the room with the platforms you weigh down with blocks. When you come to the portal window on the floor, turn around and look up. You should be able to spot a well-hidden portal window high above a gap in the roof of the hallway. Shoot this window and the window on the ground to find a chest at the other end with a Lifestone Shard inside.
13 // Drowned Pass
You need the Abyssal Chain for this one. In the Drowned Pass, look directly across the way from the Vulgrim location. You can use the Abyssal Chain to cross to a chest with a Lifestone Shard inside.
14 // Broken Stair / Twilight Cathedral Serpent Hole
You need the Mask of Shadows for this one. In the Serpent Hole between the Broken Stair and Twilight Cathedral, activate the Mask of Shadows and head down the forming path. You'll soon come to a yellow Geyser you can use to access a secret area of the Serpent Hole. Follow this long path to another Geyser and use that to float to the chest with a Lifestone Shard inside.
15 // Vulgrim
Collect all the Soldier Artifacts and sell them to Vulgrim.

In the north part of the level you get the Redemption chain gun and take out many, many angels on your way down a hill. At the bottom of this hill, the northwest corner of the map,look for some Demonic Growth. You can climb this to reach a platform above. On this platform, look to the southeast. A visible patch of Demonic Growth is here. Climb onto it and follow it around to the east. Drop down where it terminates to find a chest with a Wrath Shard.
6 // The Hollows
In the southwest corner of the Hollows is a series of submerged tunnels. At the far western end of these you'll find a chest with a Shard inside. It's in the same room with the switch that turns off the underwater fan.
7 // The Hollows
In the far southeast region of the Hollows -- just before the boss -- is a room you must flood with water. You must destroy two blue crystals to do so. At the top of this room is a chest with a Wrath Shard inside.
8 // Drowned Pass
You can see a wall of blue crystals directly in front of you when you warp to Vulgrim's location in the Drowned pass.

Run up the tunnel and smash the crystals to find a chest with a Wrath Shard inside.
9 // Ashlands
Warp to Vulgrim's location in the Ashlands and due north across the large desert on Ruin. Go past the wooden towers. Look along the northeast wall for a patch or blue crystals. Ride over here and destroy the crystals. Just beyond them is a cave with a chest. A Wrath Shard is within.

This requires the Abyssal Chain. Warp to the Vulgrim location in the Ashlands. Head southwest and drop into the Ashlands Access Tunnel area. Enter the room with the Goremaws on the ceiling above a single stretch of rope. You need to cross this area to the west side, so jump out onto the rope and get eaten by a Goremaw. From the western ledge, look up and to the right. You should be able to make out an Abyssal Chain grapple point high above. It is orange. Grapple this and then float into the secret tunnel above. You'll find a chest here with a Wrath Shard inside.
13 // Crossroads / Library
This requires the Abyssal Chain. Warp to the Crossroads using Vulgrim and enter the Library to the north. In the main room, look for an Abyssal Chain grip point along the eastern wall.

After defeating the first Guardian and accessing the second floor of the Black Throne via the elevator, you'll come to a room without a floor. A pathway forms beneath your feet allowing you to reach the northern side. Once safely on the northern platform look for a distant window portal to the west. Charge a shot and shoot it and then use the nearby portal to reach the Chest with a Wrath Shard inside.

You need the Abyssal Chain for this one. In the Serpent Hole between the Dry Road and Anvil's Ford, look for some chain hook points floating in the ether. If you pause the game and examine the map screen, you can see a floating island to the north (scroll up). Use the Abyssal Chain to grapple over to the chest for a Wrath Shard.
19 // Scalding Gallow / Drowned Pass Access Tunnel
You'll need the Voidwalker for this one. First, head out the western exit of the Scalding Gallow. In the Drowned Pass Access tunnel, look for a portal window above the chest marked on your map. You can charge a shot, double-jump and shoot this portal, but it's a bit tricky.
Now, head into the room with the giant fan blades. Float off the blades to the southeast and activate the Abyssal Chain while you fall to snag the hook. Take the geyser up and shoot the window portal on the ceiling to make a path to the chest.
Use the Geyser to blast up through the ceiling portal to the chest on the other side to score a Wrath Shard.

1 // Twilight Cathedral
In the northernmost room of the upper (ground) level of the Cathedral you'll find a chest with this piece. You need to enter this room via the door on the upper level of the east side. To get through this door, guarded by a Goremaw, you'll need the Crossblade.
2 // Scalding Gallow
Peer off the west side of Samael's platform. You'll see a blue Geyser far below. Under Samael's central platform itself is a chest you'll have to float to after dropping over the edge. Land safely for an Abyssal Armor Piece. Use the Geyser to return to the surface.
3 // Scalding Gallow
From Samael's platform, head due south to the destroyed building and look up -- you'll see some red crystals with a Bomb Growth attached to them on a support column. Hit the bomb with your Crossblade and it will topple the column creating a ramp up to the chest with the Abyssal Armor Piece inside.
4 // Drowned Pass
In the north tip of the Drowned Pass a waterfall pours into the central lake. A cave just to the south of the waterfall, deep underwater, leads east. It's just to the south. Swim through it and eliminate the enemies on the other side before accessing the chest with the Armor Piece inside.

8 // The Ashlands
Now, head east across the level. To the north of the wood tower in the east, look for a strip of raised rock along the eastern border. The north side of this strip is accessible via a Geyser. Take this up and follow the strip south. Cross the chain grip points with the Abyssal Chain and then look for another grip point on the tower's top. Grapple over to the tower and you'll find a chest with an Abyssal Armor Piece inside.
9 // Black Throne
Head to the third wing of the Black Throne (where the third Guardian resides). At the bottom of the long spiral staircase you come to is a clump of red crystal. Shoot the nearby window portal on the wall. To the north is a chasm with a spinning block floating above it. Charge a shot and shoot the window on the spinning block with the Voidwalker.
Now, wait by the first portal until the spinning block portal faces north -- you should be able to make out a Bomb Growth in the distance. Hop through and float down to get to the northern ledge.
A Bomb Growth is on a column ahead. You can snag a bomb by using the Abyssal Chain.
First, create a portal on the nearby window. Snag a bomb and wait by the portal. When you see the red crystals appear, toss the bomb through the portal to destroy them. You can now use the portal to access a chest with an Abyssal Armor Piece inside.
10 // Eden
