Before we delve into the nitty-gritty of how to obtain the Artifact of Sacrifice, it should be noted that the drop chance for an item cannot be lower than 5%%. Given below are the probability rates for the dropped items governed by this artifact in Risk of Rain 2 to be of a particular rarity or type.

  • Common: 63%
  • Uncommon: 27%
  • Legendary; 0.9%
  • Equipment: 9%

Since these rates are not affected by the type of monster defeated, a tougher monster will not guarantee a higher chance of a Legendary drop. As with all other artifacts, the Artifact of Sacrifice in Risk of Rain 2 must first be unlocked to be equipped at the start of a run - and the process to do so is equally lengthy and challenging. For one, players will need the 3x3 code for the artifact.

While these spawn randomly on stone tablets across levels and players must track them down to find them, here is the code listed for ease of use:

  • Triangle, Triangle, Triangle
  • Triangle, Triangle, Triangle
  • Triangle, Square, Triangle

Each artifact in the game has a sppecific code that must be entered at the Compound Generator in the fifth biome, the Sky Meadows. This unlocks the Bulwark's Ambry where players must complete the challenge to be able to finally unlock the Artifact of Sacrifice in Risk of Rain 2.

There are some more details to consider as well. While the Artifact of Sacrifice in Risk of Rain 2 removes normal chest spawns, guaranteed chests are not affected, and neither are elements like Bazaar Between Time and 3D Printers. Of the latter two, the Bazaar is a shop in the game using Lunar Coins while the 3D Printer destroys an item to print another.
