All Sons of the Forest Artifact Locations
Artifacts play a key role in late-game progression in Sons of the Forest, and finding every piece means heading deep underground. This guide uses the Sons of the Forest Interactive Map to show where each Artifact part appears across the cave network, helping you understand how they’re spread out rather than treating them as random finds.
Each Artifact part sits inside a specific cave, often in areas you won’t reach during normal surface exploration. Because of that, Artifact collection naturally becomes a focused cave-clearing task rather than something you do passively. This guide focuses only on Artifact locations shown on the map, giving you a clear picture of which caves matter, how many parts each one contains, and how everything fits together once you start endgame cleanup.
How to Find Artifact Parts
- Artifact locations are limited to specific caves across the island
- Each cave contains a single Artifact part
- Artifact parts only appear deep inside cave interiors
- Collecting all parts requires visiting multiple, separate cave systems
- Artifact progression ties directly to late-game exploration
Where Artifact Parts Are Located
Cave-Based Artifact Locations
Every Artifact part in Sons of the Forest comes from a cave. For example, Inside the Cave Part X1 and Cave F Part X1 both require full cave exploration rather than surface travel. Because these caves vary in layout and depth, Artifact collection rewards thorough clearing instead of quick in-and-out trips.
Other caves follow the same structure. Cave D Part X1 and Cave B Part X1 each hold a single Artifact piece, making them easy to track once you know which caves still matter. As a result, the Interactive Map becomes especially useful here, since it lets you see at a glance which cave systems still contain uncollected parts.
Early and Late Cave Progression
Artifact parts don’t all sit at the same difficulty level. Some caves, like Cave A Part X1, act as earlier checkpoints in the collection process, while others push deeper into hostile or complex cave layouts. Because of this, Artifact hunting often happens in waves rather than all at once.
Clearing caves in batches helps reduce backtracking and keeps progression smooth. Once you’ve mapped out which caves still contain Artifact parts, the remaining work becomes a clean checklist instead of a guessing game. That’s where the Interactive Map really earns its value during late-game cleanup.
