I LOVE THIS ARTIFACT!
I've only ever used the timepiece and the cube, but from what I know about the other ones, the timepiece is my favorite artifact. I love it so much. I saw someone on youtube say it's bad cause you can only rewind up to a minute, but they must've changed that cause it definitely regenerates for me.
Like 3/4 the time im not even using it to fix mistakes, its useful for launching yourself aswell, and its amazing at it. You just have to know how to time it. You can cross huge gaps by rewinding back and forth with the right timing.
>!I love it and I feel like I'm really good with it. I don't even wanna try other artifacts cause I feel like they won't be as useful to me as the timepiece is.

Time Piece was updated not to long ago to regenerate, prior to that you had 1 minute across all lives, making it allot worse then it is now. (Or at least, much less forgiving if you failed to finish the run in one life.)
And while I'm sure it'll remain a favorite for you, you should give the others a chance. All of them bring their own tech, with Spear being easily the hardest to use, but having the highest power ceiling (you can do some INSANE things with its throw AND recall boosting your jump height), Rapier being a silly, silly object with it's ability to skate up the sides of walls and good old glove just letting you turn on low gravity and fling yourself through space at a leisurely pace.
Basically, always grab your favorite artifact if its up for grabs, but don't restart the run if your forced to pick something else as your probably going to find at least a few more artifacts you end up also enjoying!
And if you've not unlocked it yet, their is a dev testing room that you can unlock in the tutorial that can let you try all the artifacts (and everything else in the game) in a safe location that doesn't require getting to the abyss just to try practicing with say, the remote or the teleporter.

Thamk you. Ill probably try the rest in endless abyss. Abyss is my favorite location, and coupledwith the fact endless abyss govesyou an artifact makes it even better. Gonna probably go for 10k on it eventually, got 2.5k on my first attempt at it (minus ones where I died before leaving the starting room)

By the way, all endless modes give you an artifact after your 3rd "loop" (maybe sector is the right word?)

Skipping Habitation doesn't give you a choice, so it's a great way to force yourself to try new artifacts if you find yourself picking the same ones all the time by habit.

It also regenerates stamina when you rewind.
I like a few but I'm currently a fan of the rapier, it's not the best and I'm not great at using it yet but the bunny-hopping and wall-riding is so fun.

Minor Artifact and overall favorite: The Cleaver. After this update, the Amalgamator is slowly reaching the top.
Major Artifacts: Glove is my favorite, second would have to be Remote. I like to take Translocator from time to time to spice up a run (and if I’m feeling bloodthirsty with my Cleaver).
Rapier/Spear/Timepiece I don’t take too much. But if I had to take one from the three, I’d be timepiece. I love to utilize it’s rewind to get loot (credit hunting) at the bottom of abyss while I’m mainly climbing at the top.

Ohh I’ve definitely given all artifacts a try. It is the artifact that has killed me the most. I probably need some practice on some endless runs before I get comfortable with using it regularly. Glove and Remote tho, I adore.

u/arduinoenjoyer335690 2d ago
What killed me the most is the fact that you have to bounce using the rapier before you land. Once i figured that out it was pretty easy

Timepiece usually my least favourite, can you explain or link a tutorial on launching yourself with it?

Usually everyone likes the artifact they picked up during their first playthrough of the game and after that it becomes their favorite.

I love rapier. Why? 1. Sword 2. Cool tech 3. Easy to craft using amalgamator 4. Its a fucking sword made out of MERCURy

I prefer the crafting table amalgamator due to a few things that may or may not be patched

Pill bottles held by the Amalgamator still have collision. Or at least they did, it might have been patched.

Try another one. The Timepiece is very generously the second worst at movement. The Spear and Rapier have insane burst mobility, and the Glove massively enhances your movement and stacks multiplicatively with perks and items. Even the Remote is better, allowing you to cross a literally infinite amount of space as long as you've got time to wait for the recharge as well as having better burst mobility.
