Borderlands 3 Mysterious Artifact
Are you wondering what all those question marks on the Mysterious Artifact do or have you heard about this rare item and want to get one for yourself? This Borderlands 3 guide will help you on your way. If you got any other questions about this Mysterious Artifact leave those in the comments below and I’ll answer them.
You can obtain the Mysterious Artifact upon completing the final mission in Ava’s Murder Mystery Missions which is part of DLC6, The Director’s Cut. After you beat the final boss, there will be a mysterious chest that contains the item.
The Mysterious Artifact’s special effect reveals 100% of the hidden Eridium piles on the map. The artifact also provides a 5% chance to drop 12 Eridium whenever you defeat a Badass enemy.
Note: The hidden piles are always there and can be destroyed but you need to know where to look.
Alongside the release of Borderlands 3 the Director’s Cut, there were some changes to the game’s loot drops and economy. Eridium quickly became a valuable resource because the loot drops were lowered and the anointment on your gear plays a big part in Borderlands 3’s endgame. With Crazy Earl’s new contraption you can reroll the anoints on your gear but this costs Eridium.
Where’s the best place to farm Eridium?
There are various lucrative places where you can farm Eridium. However, it depends on the progress of your playthrough and the DLCs you own. Check out my Eridium farming guide for a complete overview.
