Artifacts act as collectibles in Trek to Yomi. They don’t grant direct bonuses to the main character, but each item subtly reveals more of the story. Collect all 60 items and you unlock the Look Under Every Stone achievement. This guide explains where to find every artifact in Trek to Yomi.
Important Note: to earn the achievement you must complete a single run with all collectibles found within that run. Replays of chapters do not count, and progress on collected items isn’t saved between attempts. In the opening chapter, seven artifacts are scattered across Hiroki Village.
Artifact 1: Altar Mirror
The first artifact appears right after finishing the tutorial. Once outside the dojo, the hero should turn and pass through the building where training took place. Back on the street, take a right toward the gazebo where two characters are conversing. Here lies the Altar Mirror.
Artifact 2: Image of Izanagi
Hiroki moves through the village until he encounters a farmer who needs help with a cart. The farmer will speak and the request is clear. After setting the cart aside, head upstairs to enter the shop. The Image of Izanagi sits on a table to the left of the first room.
Artifact 3: Kai-Awase Shell
Just behind the shop that housed the previous artifact lies a warehouse where a Quartermaster accuses the hero of theft. Ignore the admonition, descend the stairs, and turn left into a small marketplace. Speak with the seller to receive the Kai-Awase Shell.
Artifact 4: Cherry Blossom
Return to the warehouse and pass through the right-hand doorway. After engaging with the first altar, the hero crosses a narrow bridge. A little farther along a shopping street, several barrels tumble from a cart. Continue straight until reaching a greenhouse with a wooden gate and the sound of screams. Do not turn right; instead, head left to claim the Sakura Flower.
Artifact 5: Mouse Figurine
The next artifact appears after the first enemy is defeated. After the skirmish, proceed to an altar and then circle the brick wall near the sanctuary to enter a small courtyard. The Mouse Figurine rests on a table to the left.
Artifact 6: Kakute
The sixth collectible becomes available once Hiroki gains his first ranged tool, the Bo Shuriken. After a series of battles, follow the road to a cluster of homes. Enter the nearest house on the right and search inside. The Kakute lies on a body within the room.
Artifact 7: Image of Izanami
The final artifact of the first chapter sits just outside the village gates. After taking down two bandits attempting entry, turn left and cross the road from the gate. At the crossroads, take a right and continue until you reach a small cemetery. There, a handful of enemies will engage the hero. After the battle, move to the right side of the map and locate the last area. The Image of Izanami rests on the right side of the map.
To be continued.
