For both newcomers and experienced players of Genshin Impact, there are frequent moments when a supply of artifact fodder is needed to enhance 5-star artifacts. While this fodder can be sourced from all areas of Teyvat, Natlan offers some unique locations not found in other regions.
This uniqueness arises from additional regional mechanics specific to Natlan, requiring players to utilize certain Natlan characters to optimize their efforts. The primary artifact locations in Natlan include Coatepec Mountain, the Basin of Unnumbered Flames, the Tezcatepetonco Range, Quahuacan Cliff, and Ochkanatlan.
Natlan Artifact Farming Route
The entire route can take approximately 30 minutes, but using Anemo characters can help expedite the process while Natlan characters can enhance mobility between sites. Recommended characters for this journey include Chasca, Ororon, Citlali, Kinich, Wanderer, and Xianyun.
Stadium of the Sacred Flame Artifact Route
Your journey begins at the Stadium of the Sacred Flame, where you’ll want to teleport to the waypoint adjacent to the Adventurer’s Guild.
- Proceed directly and look to your right for a collection of boxes that are positioned parallel to the wall where Katheryne is standing; artifacts can be found here.
- Next, navigate past Katheryne and towards the opposite end of the floor, moving to a pillar on your left, where blue paint barrels are located. Here, you’ll discover a glowing area with additional artifacts.
- This route will lead you east to the teleport waypoint adjacent to the Stadium. From the tower, take a left and drop onto the lower deck, where boxes with investigational spots can yield 2-3 artifacts.
- From the deck, turn around and glide down towards two Yumkasaurus nearby. A Thick-Feathered Pheasant will be camouflaged as a flower, so approach it to reveal the investigation spot.
Sulfurous Veins Artifact Route
- Head to the teleport waypoint located north of Sulfurous Veins and move left across the hill towards the designated location. You’ll come across a white skeleton and a bush concealing two pheasants. Interact with them to uncover the investigation spot and gather artifacts.
- Proceed from here with a short glide to a new site, heading off the mountain to the next one while avoiding an enemy camp. Look for another pheasant near Yumkasaurus for more artifacts.
Tequemecan Valley Artifact Route
Tequemecan Valley is a comprehensive sub-region, but this route will focus specifically on the valley area beneath Sulfurous Veins.
- Start by teleporting to the waypoint in the middle of Tequemecan Valley (north of the domain) and directly face a pheasant located right across from the teleport spot to get an artifact.
- Then, navigate upstream towards a small waterfall at the far end, keeping an eye out for another pheasant near the riverbank on the right to collect an artifact.
- Finally, continue straight and observe to your left for another pheasant located near a Yumkasaurus.
Ochkanatlan Artifact Farming Route
Ensure that you have unlocked all of Ochkanatlan to simplify traveling between points.
- Start by teleporting to the Statue of Seven and explore the area around the statue to find glowing spots, allowing you to collect about three artifacts.
- Exit through a small hole, turn left and proceed to the edge, then climb the tower to find a wooden box with an investigation point containing artifacts.
- Return down to the shoreline, glide over to find another wooden box with an investigation spot.
- Continue to another diagonal wooden box nearby with another investigation point.
- Advance towards the Ruin Guard and seek another wooden box with more investigational opportunities.
- Keep moving in a straight line to gather further artifacts from additional wooden boxes placed throughout the path, including locating the next box behind a rock formation nearby.
