In Ark Lost Island, Artifacts are unique objects that can be located in caves that are scattered throughout the map. These items can be found at the end of the cave system and obtaining them can often be quite challenging. Artifacts, in Ark, are used for summoning the boss and can also be placed on the Artifact Pedestal as a decoration.

Ark Lost Island is a non-canonical community expansion map that is available for free to players. The DLC introduces "150 square kilometers of new biomes, new challenges, and mysterious ruins." The map also features three new creatures.
