The three Abyss Artifacts
This is everything our dataset holds about artifact locations. The points come from the community interactive map for the global servers (updated October 2026). Open the Abyss Artifact map to see each pin with its nearest teleport.
| Artifact | Area | Zone layer |
|---|---|---|
| Corroded Heart Artifact | Corroded Heart | Chaotic Middle Reshanta |
| Contaminated Marsh Artifact | Contaminated Marsh | Chaotic Middle Reshanta |
| Distorted Old Growth Forest Artifact | Distorted Old Growth Forest | Chaotic Middle Reshanta |
Middle or Lower Reshanta?
Our map files the three artifacts under Chaotic Middle Reshanta, while the boss trackers we cite for the siege schedule describe the siege as happening in Chaotic Lower Reshanta at the three artifact points. We have not resolved this ourselves. Trust the in-game marker over either label, and tell us if you know which is right.
How artifacts fit into Abyss PvP
The Abyss is the open-world PvP space where Elyos and Asmodian players fight over fixed objectives. The artifacts are three of those objectives, and the scheduled Artifact Siege is the event built around them. Players on the global servers are paired with an enemy-faction server for Abyss content, so the other side is a real opposing server, not a bot.
- Artifacts are fixed points with names and positions on the Middle Reshanta map.
- Strongholds are a different thing: open-world camps in Verteron and Altgard, mainly used for rift runs. See the stronghold map.
- Spacetime Rifts are a separate, scheduled faction event, tracked on the rift timer.
Artifact Siege timing
| Event | Global (server time) | Length | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Artifact Siege | Monday, Thursday, Saturday 21:00 | 30 minutes | Likely (community trackers) |
| Executor siege bosses: Argo, Kaira, Tamasa | Monday, Thursday, Saturday 21:30 | 30 minutes | Likely, not officially confirmed |
- Global servers appear to follow each region's own server clock (Central European time for EU, Eastern for NA East). Pick your region on the boss timer for a countdown.
- Korean servers run the siege on Wednesday and Saturday, so Korean guides do not match global.
- One tracker lists a separate Abyss siege boss on Friday and Sunday at 21:00. We have not matched that against the game, so it is not on our timer.
- Daily and weekly reset times, including Dimensional Invasion key refills (daily, 07:00 UTC), are on the timers page. We have no schedule for the Dimensional Invasion event itself.
Tips for artifact night
- Check your region's clock first. 21:00 server time is not 21:00 UTC. Use the timers page rather than converting by hand.
- Know your teleport. The map shows the nearest teleport for each artifact, so you can pick your route before the event starts.
- Arrive early and stay with a group. The siege lasts only 30 minutes and the opposing server will be there too.
- Expect the bosses at 21:30. If your group wants the Executors, plan to be in the area after the artifact window closes.
- Verify in game. If the event calendar shows different days or times, go with the game and report it to us.
What our data does and does not cover
We have exact names and positions for 3 artifacts and a community-tracked siege schedule. We have not confirmed in game what an artifact grants, how capture works, how long a capture lasts or what the siege reward is, so those are left out on purpose. We will add them once we can verify them. This is a fan site; aion2atlas.app is not affiliated with NCSOFT.
Frequently asked questions
How many Abyss Artifacts are there in Aion 2?＋
Our map lists 3: Corroded Heart, Contaminated Marsh and Distorted Old Growth Forest. We have not seen a source listing more on the global servers.
When is the Artifact Siege in Aion 2?＋
Community trackers put it at Monday, Thursday and Saturday 21:00 server time for 30 minutes on global servers. NCSOFT has not published it, so confirm in the in-game calendar.
What rewards do Abyss Artifacts give?＋
Not yet confirmed. We have not verified artifact or siege rewards in game, so we do not list any rather than guess.
Is the Artifact Siege the same as the Dimensional Invasion?＋
We have no evidence that it is. Dimensional Invasion keys refill at the daily reset, and the Artifact Siege is a separate scheduled Abyss event. We have no schedule for the Dimensional Invasion itself.
Are siege times the same on NA and EU?＋
Not in UTC. Trackers reading the global client put each region on its own server clock, so Monday 21:00 is a different moment on EU and NA. Use the region picker on the boss timer.
Are Abyss Artifacts the same as strongholds?＋
No. Artifacts are fixed Abyss points on the Middle Reshanta layer. Strongholds are open-world camps in Verteron and Altgard that players use during Spacetime Rifts.
