Spoils of War

Elven Artifact 1

Find Light Elf Shore on the northwest side of the Lake of Light and disembark. Explore the dead end on the north side to find the first Elven Artifact lying next to a corpse.

Elven Artifact 2

Find a second hidden beach to the southwest called Light Elf Sanctuary. Use a lever to open the first gate, and then break the two pods at the second to reach an outdoor ledge with a Realm Tear. Follow the footpath east and south until you reach a tentacle blocking your path. Throw your axe through the three pods to remove the obstacle and collect an Artifact dropped by the nearby Light Elf.

Elven Artifact 3

After you defeat the Stone Ancient and extend the bridge, follow the southern bridge first to find an Elven Artifact at the dead end.

Elven Artifact 4

After completing the Ringed Temple and using the lift to descend back into the trench, search the cell to the right to find the Elven Artifact.

Elven Artifact 5

From the lift, pry open the door to the south and move into the next area. Fight your way to the southeast to find a gap in the walkway. Hit the crystal with a Light Arrow and cross the bridge. Throw your axe at the discs above to drop the crystal, and kill the Draugr that are released. Head into the cell directly across from where you entered and collect the Artifact.

Elven Artifact 6

If you haven’t completed the quest, there’s a sixth Artifact available inside another cell. While navigating back through the trench, stop at the Nornir Chest and use the wheel to lower the floor. Freeze it with your axe and run through the opening ahead. The Artifact sits in the cell straight ahead.
