Search the depths of the Wall
The confirmed place to look for artifacts in Wall World Strategy is beneath the Wall's surface, through exploration of its depths. The official description places rare artifacts alongside resources and forgotten technologies in that interior world. It does not provide a named artifact route, map coordinates, or a guaranteed early pickup.
That distinction helps you choose the right goal: artifact hunting belongs to exploration, while an immediate resource shortage may call for developing a known deposit. The official Wall World Strategy Steam description is the basis for the confirmed locations and uses described here.
Separate artifacts from technological samples
The official overview describes several kinds of discoveries. Valuable materials can be extracted, technological samples can accelerate development, and unique objects can help explain the world and its mysteries.
Do not assume those categories share the same reward. In particular, the source connects faster development to technological samples; it does not establish that every artifact grants research speed, resources, or a combat bonus.
When deciding whether to pursue a discovery, read the information your current build supplies about that object. A narrative find may still be worthwhile, but it should not be counted as a guaranteed solution to an economic or defensive problem unless the game explicitly gives it that effect.
Build exploration capacity alongside your colony
Officially described research can expand your ability to explore new areas. The game also asks you to develop infrastructure for the resources you uncover. Keep exploration connected to the colony's capacity to support further development.
A useful planning order is to identify what you want from exploration, check your currently available access options, and compare the required investment with the settlement's other needs. This is a decision framework, not a hidden artifact-unlock recipe.
The sources do not identify a specific mandatory building, technology, or equipment piece for finding your first artifact. They also do not confirm a repeatable farming method.
Consider remote discoveries without assuming guaranteed artifacts
Robo-spiders can scout uncharted sectors, gather resources, and uncover rare discoveries beyond the colony. Their expeditions can reach places too dangerous or inaccessible for people, while facing hazardous environments, unstable terrain, unknown lifeforms, and ancient machinery.
That makes remote exploration relevant to discovery hunting. However, the official overview does not say that each expedition yields an artifact or that every rare discovery is one. Prepare the equipment your build offers, assess the revealed risks, and judge the trip according to its actual objective.
If you want a specific named artifact, the supplied material does not yet support an exact location guide. Avoid spending resources on a supposedly guaranteed route that the game or a verified source has not established.
FAQ
Where are artifacts found?

Do artifacts always improve research?
That is not confirmed. The source specifically says technological samples can accelerate development, while unique objects help explain the world.
Can robo-spiders discover rare objects?
The official description says expeditions can uncover rare discoveries. It does not guarantee an artifact from every trip.
Is there a verified artifact farming route?
The supplied sources do not provide spawn rules, drop rates, named locations, or a repeatable farming route.
