How to get the Artifact of Delusion in Risk of Rain 2

Before knowing how to get it, here is what the Artifact of Delusion does:

Artifact of Delusion resets all chests once the teleporter event is finished and provides players the chance to receive additional items if they interact with the reset chests.

This is more or less self-explanatory; players can return to the previously open, now closed chests in the level to obtain that same item again—assuming they've memorized which chest contains what. This is because they will encounter a memory minigame where they must correctly pick the icon of the item they got from that chest among a total of three options, of which one is correct.

Guessing right will grant a free copy of that item, while a wrong guess will cause players to lose the item they first obtained from the chest. So, the Artifact of Delusion in Risk of Rain 2 is a double-edged sword but rewarding nonetheless. Also, note that this only works with Uncommon, Common, and Legendary chests.

The teleporter event refers to the final confrontation with a region's boss, and completing this trial will allow the use of the teleporter to move on to the next major region in Risk of Rain 2. Coupled with the new Artifact of Devotion, this can make for interesting runs. To enable the Artifact of Delusion, players must visit the Compound Generator in the Sky Meadowsand enter the following 3x3 code:

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

This will unlock the Artifact Portal leading to the Bulwark's Ambry, where players must complete a combat trial to unlock the artifact. Once unlocked, it can be enabled as a modifier at the start of any future run.
