Sentient Artifacts
Sentient Artifacts are a species of sentient equipment objects, many of which are thousands of years old (Bag, for example).
Ancient Artifacts
The ancient artifacts sought out by the player are twisted items with a hatred for humanity. The artifacts seek to wipe out or control humanity, though they are only able to use their powers to the fullest when a vessel, such as a willing user, is present.
Amalet
Amalet is the second ancient artifact introduced in the story. Hidden away in the Flying Fortress for a thousand years, he awaited the day when he would be retrieved by a human. Using the power of GUN-D4M, he attempts to destroy the player, only to be thwarted and returned to the Collector HQ.
Gaan'tlet
Gaan'tlet is a gauntlet who twisted the mind of Winter to do his bidding, and able to transform the Elder into an incredibly powerful being. When defeated, he attempts to bribe the player to become his next wearer, but the player ignores his plea and returns the gauntlet to the Collector HQ.
The Crown
The Crown is the third artifact the player brings back to the Collector HQ. It was once a simple toy crown worn by Zhamla as a child, before being transformed into the artifact it is today. The Crown does not seem to speak, and may not be sentient at all.
Braazlet
Braazlet is an adorned, cuff-styled bracelet who lived in Tai Ming. Braazlet is the fourth and last artifact the player retrieves for the Collector HQ; it is located in The Lost Ship.
Other Sentient Artifacts
Bag
Bag is the first Artifact that the player meets, as a gift from their dad. Though he tends to keep his past a secret, he is a thousand years old and is able to translate ancient manuscripts, recognize old artifacts and locations, and provide extremely useful information to the player.
Pao Zhi
Pao Zhi is a small pouch with a large, reddish-pink bow, that lived with Mundi in Tai Ming.
Shiidu
Shiidu is a shield who was left in Tai Ming after the village was destroyed. Though Mundi attempted to save the shield, her efforts were in vain, and the case Shiidu rested in refused to open.
Helmit
Helmit is a horned helm who lived in Tai Ming alongside Shiidu and their caretaker, Mundi. It is currently living with Helmut in Port Monnaie.
Brand
Brand is a sword that becomes known by name at a later point in the game. It is most likely the sword Zhamla possessed.
Eeryng
Eeryng is mentioned by Shiidu as one of the artifacts Mundi was able to save.
