Just did this cave with my friends, as of 5 minutes ago. Spent probably 30 minutes looking top to bottom, thinking there was some magical crystal hiding a pathway to lead to the artifact. Even started breaking crystals and stones trying to find it. This bug still exists as of April 2020. Probably will never get fixed lol.
Cameron Courts update: argy somehow made it into cave and got stuck, used creative mode to get cryopod. Did with all of the other tames I brought as well because it would be convienent to not have to fly at quetzal speed. Did not know that I would loose everything from all tame inventories and the building on quetzals back. Now burnt out from ark. Might go on a server.
So you're telling me I spent at least an hour looking around, went back to base on the other side of the map to get more gear to prepare for a long time in the cave, looked for another hour or more, just to find out that it was bugged the whole time Welcome to Ark me Thanks me You're welcome me
I know. I don't think they'll ever fix it. These days I just cheat the Artifact in my inventory once I am standing on the exact spot where it is supposed to spawn.
The bug will continue to exist... June 2025. ARK is never updated anymore, ARK 2 is out and has DLCs too. It works better than the original no doubts in the slightest but still comes with it's issues as expected. ARK itself still is played a lot by the hardcore players who refuse going to ARK 2 so there still are a few official servers but only about 2, most on the original are on private anyway. But still, ARK 2 is still awesome even with the glitches that it does have, at least it's a great update over the original, which the hardcore players coming from the future would bash at me about.
Note there is a 30 minute delay from the time of loading up the map before artifacts will spawn. Meaning if you just loaded the map just outside or inside the cave, you will need to wait before it will show up.
Playing this in single player and had this same issue(artifact not spawning) with Strong on Ragnarok, and now this one on the Island. If I remember correctly the fix (in SP at least) is to leave the cave so it is not loaded, exit the game, load the game, wait 15-30 mins or more, then go in for the artifact. I believe the issue was the artifacts don't spawn within x minutes of server start (for SP), and going there within that time bugs it out so it almost never spawns (I think). So damn sad we have to wiggle around the game trying to actively screw us at every turn. I LOVE this game, but the damn bugs hamper so much of the enjoyment. I am also surprised there is no mod that has fixed the issues. EDIT: Judging from other comments, you might be able to be in the cave and just wait some distance away from the Artifact spawn area, but I can't confirm. I can only confirm what I mentioned. If my way doesn't work try this other way.
oh my god i been looking through this cave trying not to go down there because i knew it was a trap and this whole time the artifact was supposed to be their.... god damn bugs.. wish i knew this before hand
Thx a lot for your tuto .. I spend 1h looking for artefact... Thanks to your command : cheat summon ArtifactCrate_6_C . I make it appear in a legal way. Blue thumb
OMG! 🤣I typed in the command to summon the crate, and I wasn't sure how the whole admin commands worked. So when I pressed the button to summon it, nothing happend. So I got frustrated and pressed it a whole bunch of times. When I left the menu screen I had maybe 30 artifact crates floating in my face! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
idk why, but i have a almost crippling fear of falling through the map. if the terrain seems unstable like rocks that aren't really there, it's hard to move anywhere
DUDE THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Ive been in this cave for possibly 3 fucking hours! and no artifact! ive even mapped the fucking thing out to try and see if im not missing a little gape or hole somewhere! PS bug still exists in 2020 April
Just an FYI, the atifact wasn't there when I first got in. I'm on Xbox 1, went back to start, came in followed your trail and low and behold it was there. Was not close enough to edge I had to drop down, brought grappling hook for just an occasion. Thx for vid. 😎👍
This they will ever fix this happens on consal as well ive trying to figuer it out its there when u fist start a new game then it disappears after a few days
Thumbs up for not losing your shit with that bug. Can't even post what my reaction to it was, lots of cursing about loose women (different wording) and female dogs (also different wording) working at Wildcard :D
That sucks that its bugged out there an achievement that says to get all artifacts with that being bugged itll make it imppossible. Wild card wont ever fix it either.
Jan 2020. PC. I was looking for days, was sure I had picked at and examined each cold icy wall of this place. But surely, I must have been missing something. I kept searching, picking away. So many boxes of crystals and obsidian, they are too heavy. But then the impossible! A shining light appeared! Oh! The Artifact! Must have been incoded by the great controller. But I am starving, only a few berries left to eat. I am cold and losing focus. Why was I made to come here only to search for that which can only be given? Now I face the cold embrace of death...
I was doing this cave lastnight and when I entered it I had my armor destroyed by the bats. So I thought no problem, I'll just leave and repair it with the Argy I brought. I head out and couldn't find him anywhere. Then I saw his name inside the cave. So I went back inside the cave and the Argy managed to get STUCK in the cave walls. He ended up dying and I lost all my materials and items which the Argy was holding. Couldn't even retrieve the items cause it was stuck in the wall
Not a bug. There's a 30 minute timer that starts upon loading up the game map before artifacts spawn. Just wait a bit outside if you just started up and it'll be there.
Paco Zalky also with lava cave! SE artifact was bugged and I couldn’t figure out why it was there sometimes and not others. Also the lava cave is ragequit worthy without grappling hooks.
Skylord cave was super easy - it’s Artifact of the Stong that kicks your butt so I level my Boss Rexes in that cave. Everything in there is level 300-500.
Good voice, but too slow pacing, you could have compressed it more and talked about the cave inside the cave instead of being half the video not even inside. You could have shown a drawn map about the cave layout. You could have mentioned if a torch is enough to not lose HP with fur armor since obviously fur isnt enough, also an otter is definitely enough. You could have shown loot crate spawns. You could have mentioned food and healing items and you had an assault rifle, when pumpgun is better. Grappling hooks apply your weight to the grappled creature and onyx have low weight, so its possible to grapple the strongest bat, then kill the weaker ones.
bug still exists November 2018. 2 year bug... but don't worry guys, new content on the way! Woohoo! However, to quote someone: gid30n6 months agopaste this into console (tab) to get it: cheat summon ArtifactCrate_6_C This will allow you to get the artifact on Single Player and get the achievement.

Same here, but september
Oct 18, 2020 still not there
Nov 2020 still not here
Lol, I was searching for about an hour, and it wasn't there, then I watched this video and it magically appeared, thank you for your magic.
If the artifact isn’t there you can go to the far side of the cave and after 15 mins it spawns back I know this cos I camped it and got 3 of them
@@samuelsaboyachaparro205 lol
Still no artifact there January 2019
Still no Artifact January 2020
I really didn’t wanna learn how to cheat but I guess whatever

You don’t have to cheat it spawns back after 15 mins
I know this is 5 years later but I really want to say thank you. It felt like I was walking in circles in there.
When I first went in the cave, I was alone at my house at like 11 PM, and it scared the living shit out of me
One of those bats jump scared me from behind a cornen...

Make sure 30 mins has elapsed since the map/server was last loaded or artifacts will not spawn. They are set to a 30 min delay.
Reading all these 2018s and 2019s and I have the bug in October 2020😂😪

Not a bug. There's a 30 minute timer that starts upon loading up the game map before artifacts spawn. Just wait a bit outside if you just started up and it'll be there.
Artifact SPAWNED! Must clear all cave and spend 20 minutes in cave on oposite side from artifact place ;)
Paco Zalky also with lava cave! SE artifact was bugged and I couldn’t figure out why it was there sometimes and not others. Also the lava cave is ragequit worthy without grappling hooks.
I came across this when looking for penguins and had no idea what I’d found.
Directions at 3:48. Still bugged in 2021.
