🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Loch Ness Artifacts

• Beithir — Loch Ness's legendary fish — a serpent-dragon named for Scottish folklore, and the one whose prep hands you the Loch Ness shield artifact.
• Nessie — The little blue plesiosaur the game tucks onto a rock shelf in Loch Ness — your very first artifact, and the easiest one in the run to swim straight past.
• Sputnik — A polished metal sphere bristling with antennas, sitting on a cliff ledge deep in Loch Ness — the second artifact in the opening world, and the one most players swim straight past.

🇲🇽 Huatulco Artifacts

• Aztec Sun Stone — The third Huatulco artifact and the one runners lose most — a carved sun disc buried in the box-and-pressure-plate room, easy to swim straight past on your way to the Shark Tooth bait.
• Coffee Cup — Huatulco's fourth and final artifact — a goofy modern mug waiting at the end of the blue-switch chain, and the page where most players wrongly think the region is done.
• Quetzalcoatl Statue — The first of Huatulco's four artifacts — a Feathered Serpent idol tucked into the ruin's first pressure-plate pocket, right after the straight-south door.
• Rubber Ball — Huatulco's second artifact — a solid play-ball waiting at the head of the dense middle cleanup chain, picked up just past the west pressure-plate door and the message in a bottle.

• Quetzalcoatl Statue — After the straight-south pressure plate, in the first major artifact pocket. (The Feathered Serpent — your first Huatulco artifact.)
• Rubber Ball — After the later door-puzzle section, shortly after a message in a bottle. (Part of the dense middle artifact route.)
• Aztec Sun Stone — Near the Rubber Ball, just before the Shark Tooth bait. (Often missed if you grab one middle item and rush to the shortcut.)
• Coffee Cup — After Blue Switch 2/2 and its nearby message, in the late artifact pocket. (The final artifact-style pickup before the late bait-and-boat route.)

🏖️ Outer Banks Artifacts

• Bio-specimen Containment Unit — Outer Banks' second artifact — a sci-fi specimen jar tucked into the middle Compass route, picked up just after the Compass bait and a money chest and right before the Lost Dimetrodon marker.
• Canned Bread — Outer Banks' fifth artifact and the second half of the middle pickup chain — a tin of preserved loaf you scoop up moments after the Jar of Dirt, just before the run forks toward the southwestern-path shortcut.
• Jar of Dirt — The fourth Outer Banks artifact and the stage's cheekiest pull — a sealed jar of plain dirt sitting one beat past the Sonar Receiver bush, begging to be swept up in the same dive as the Canned Bread.
• Rat King Plush — The very first artifact in Outer Banks — a goofy knotted-rat plush you snatch on the opening run, the beat before you drop the boulder that reroutes the dive.
• Sonar Receiver — The artifact behind almost every Outer Banks 5/6 — buried inside a bush pocket that only gives it up if you destroy the whole bush, not just cut a path through.
• Spanish Doubloon — The sixth and final Outer Banks artifact — a gold pirate coin sitting right beside Blue Switch 1/2, and the kind of late pickup players flip the switch and swim straight past.

• Rat King Plush — Early artifact route, before the boulder drop. (One of the first artifacts — easy to assume you'll remember it later.)
• Bio-specimen Containment Unit — After Compass bait and the nearby money chest, before the Lost Dimetrodon marker. (Part of the middle route, not the final fish cleanup.)
• Sonar Receiver — Between the first cosmetic and the Jar of Dirt route, before the southwestern path shortcut. (Hidden inside a bush — clear the full pocket. The #1 cause of a 5/6 artifact count.)
• Jar of Dirt — Middle artifact route, immediately after the Sonar Receiver pocket. (Same chain as Canned Bread — do them together.)
• Canned Bread — Same middle chain as Jar of Dirt, before the southwestern path shortcut. (Don't split this from the Jar of Dirt pass.)
• Spanish Doubloon — Late blue-switch route, beside Blue Switch 1/2. (Don't hit the switch and leave — the artifact is right there.)

🌊 Point Nemo Artifacts

• Loaded Support Sphere — The first artifact you'll see in Point Nemo — a battered orbital sphere swirling in a purple debris cloud just past the entrance hatch.
• Sextant — A brass-and-mirror navigation relic the game tucks into the satellite-debris corridor — second of three Point Nemo artifacts.
• Toy Submarine — The Point Nemo artifact most players ask about on the Steam forum — small, tucked into the coral-shelf alcove just past the Sextant.
