All Artifacts in Minecraft Dungeons II — Cooldown Gear List

What are artifacts?

Artifacts are activated combat tools on a cooldown — the returning gear type from the first game, sitting inside Dungeons II’s expanded 12-slot loadout alongside weapons, armor, and talismans. Where talismans provide passive effects, artifacts are the button you press mid-fight.

How many are there?

Counts differ between file-reads — roughly 40 to 64 artifact entries depending on whether upgrades and variants are counted separately. One artifact is directly confirmed by official footage: the Death Cap Mushroom, a returning favorite that grants a burst of attack speed (“eaten by daring warriors before battle,” per its item card). The Firework Arrow also appears in demo inventory footage.

How do artifacts fit a build?

• Cooldown awareness — artifacts recharge between uses; pair a long-cooldown nuke with a short utility tool.
• Cover your weapon’s gap — a slow melee build wants an AoE artifact for packs; a swarm build wants single-target burst for bosses.
• Soul synergy — some artifacts and enchants interact with the soul economy that Sift content leans on.

We’re expanding this list artifact-by-artifact as each effect is verified — check back after the next content pass.
