The Artifact is a mysterious device that the Crimson Order seeks for an unknown reason. Gremlins claim that it possess great power.
It now remains deep within the depths of Firestorm Citadel.
Lore
Obtaining the Artifact
The Artifact was originally found at the end of The Ancient Generator after defeating Schemer Razwog. The Artifact was held within the grasp of Rhendon. Upon departing for Haven, Razwog appears once again to steal The Artifact back but is confronted shortly and the Artifact is retrieved once again.
The Artifact is reunited with the Knights at the end of the mission and is safely kept in the Lab to study.
Assault on Haven
An investigation of the Haven Garrison in the 4-2 Mission: A New Threat reveals a group of gremlins attacking The Lab. Rhendon and various other allies fight seemingly endless waves of both Ironclaw and Darkfang gremlins. As the player reaches the back of the lab, Herex appears. His motives for stealing The Artifact remain unclear as Herex retreats with it in hand.
Mysterious Consoles
Various locations found within Cradle feature strange round areas that could be consoles. Two of these are seen in the Royal Jelly Palace and the Ironclaw Munitions Factory but have either malfunctioned or are broken. Another one seen in the darkest depths of the Firestorm Citadel seems unbroken and is operational.
Dreams and Nightmares
Upon later inspection Spiral HQ receives word of earthquakes within Firestorm Citadel. As the knights inspect the now-cleared location they find Herex using The Artifact to successfully power the Console and open the Core for his one sole purpose: The Swarm.
The Artifact remains within the depths of Firestorm Citadel with no current use and cannot be removed.
Notes
Upon approaching The Artifact, a faint blue can been seen fading in and out. Its body appears to be composed of faceted discs that rotate and flash with light.
