Sealed Abyss Artifacts unlock challenges that you would have to complete to unlock that challenge's rewards. After meeting the challenge objectives, you can use the Sealed Abyss Artifact from your inventory to claim the challenge rewards.

Most Sealed Abyss Artifacts are placed atop stone altars found throughout Pywel. While some may not be entirely on rock altars, the majority are located in plain sight near main travel paths and crossroads.

The Blinding Flash is an essential skill during exploration as it highlights nearby points of interest. Use this frequently while traveling to reveal points of interests as well as Sealed Abyss Artifacts.

As you explore the world, keep a close watch on your minimap. While these artifacts do not appear on the world map by default, they will pop up as purple icons on your minimap once you are within range, making them much easier to pinpoint.
